Dreger: Red Wings top contender for Stamkos (UPD-staying in TB)

[TheRatPoisoner]

Wow. good deal for Tampa. Too bad for us. Oh well, Radulov i guess then?

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Nielsen/Backes/Staal, come on down!

 

[JPE123]

I expected this all along. Watch Kenny go after Staal

 

[ArGarBarGar]

He gambled on himself with picking up cap space and using that in. fre agency m, and the top free agent just didn't even hit the market.

Yes I ****ing can and will blame him for that.

Okay, so we have a bunch of extra money. I'm not sure what there is to blame him for when it comes to this situation.

 

[hyduK]

Ugh.

I'm scared.

We basically won a draft pick by clearing out cap space. You are operating under an assumption that Chychrun was the Wings 1st choice when it's likely he wasn't. Holland has traded down many times in the past without any contracts to try and move for cap space.

 

[Vladdy84]

Let's trade for Naaaash

 

[korrowan]

This team is going to be so bad this year. Guess I'll have a lot more free time.

 

[Claypool]

I'll take Backes for three years.

Radulov is staying in the KHL I believe. Still doesn't help our center hole either.

 

[Heaton]

We're closing this down, continue Stamkos talk in the offseason thread.
