Confirmed with Link: Leddy to STL

[Gniwder]

This is a nice return. Sundqvist works hard, and should fit in with the Swedes, especially considering more are coming. He's a decent depth guy, and he shoots right which is a bonus.

I have a feeling Walman and Juolevi are kinda auditioning for next season. I can't see both being on the Wings next year...

Solid trade, I'm happy with the return.

I see both of them as backup plan in case Edvinsson isn't ready and Stevie strikes out in free agency. I'm betting Staal gets re-signed too.

If Edvinsson isn't ready, we might be looking at Staal, Oesterle, Walman, and Juolevi filling 2 if not 3 spots. That's ugly...

I would offer Goglioski or Gio 1 yr x $6M contract just so I don;t have to watch a complete dumpster fire LHD corps.

I can’t believe you all actually engage with that poster. Really really annoying that you’re all responding to him. He needs to give it a rest but so do all of you

Let’s just mass ignore the guy and move on please. It makes this board a joke

 

[Shultzyfeelinirie25]

If the initial Leddy trade was bad then this was a robbery. In the end I'd rather have Raty, but when you make a mistake, you make moves to recover from that mistake,. (Life lesson there pal) This makes the best out of a bad situation, it's a solid win.

Maybe Stevie finds someone better than Raty with the second, who knows....

Not only that who says the Wings even take Raty theres really no point in bringing him up at all lol

We are not retiring Abby’s 8 bummer lol

 

[Dotter]

Wings getting younger by adding these two guys. Not sure if they are any good, but since STL fans are pissed, I guess I'm happy.

Correct me if I am wrong, this draft is deeper than last season's draft... especially in the 2nd round?

How did they get those photos already? Or is someone really that good at Photoshop?

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Good trade IMO.

This is a good return for Leddy. A very good return.
Doesn't change that I still dislike the original trade with the Islanders, but that's in the rear view mirror. As of today, this is a very solid return.

 

[14ari13]

Cost us the chance to draft a bust, too. What do you think the chances were to draft a good center with the pick given up for Leddy?

Do you think that losing that second increased the rebuild time by a month? A year? Two years? Three years?




Four years?



Five?

Just about 2 min and 35 seconds.

 

[FabricDetails]

Congrats Wings fans. If we just keep giving you players like Fabbri and Sundqvist in exchange for trash vets, Doug Armstrong will end your rebuild in no time. He sure does love helping you guys.

I wouldn't say all of us are super thrilled with Fabbri and he wasn't going to do much in STL anyways. But relatively speaking I get your point.

 

[RabidBadger]

That spot is already occupied by Necas and Aho.

....only for the people who finally managed to evict Hossa.

Hossa? What about all of us unhappy with the trade of Marcel Dionne?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I wouldn't say all of us are super thrilled with Fabbri and he wasn't going to do much in STL anyways. But relatively speaking I get your point.

When you consider we gave them Jacob de la Rose, Fabbri looks pretty good. He takes some dumb penalties and needs to improve defensively, but he's also 4th in goals behind Raymond and 5th in points.

Robbery

Shocker, you hate everything lol

Shocker. You can't read (or you're just making things up)
I think it's a decent deal. I'm just flabbergasted to see people calling it a steal.

Blues Fans are calling it a steal my man, not just us

If you're flabbergasted at fans calling what you describe as a decent deal, a steal, then you're flabbergasted easily.
It's the trade deadline and people get hype, Leddy was hot garbage all season and people were acting like we wouldn't even get a 2nd rounder for him. We got a 2nd +.

Is it overreaction to call this trade a steal? Yeah, probably. But if it flabbergasts you then you don't comprehend human nature.

Try thinking critically about it, you'll be less flabbergasted.

I'm gobsmacked by your rigid definition of flabbergast.

I'm a picky beggar. Let me live.

 

[Gniwder]

Hossa? What about all of us unhappy with the trade of Marcel Dionne?

In all honesty, I'm still pissed off by the Gartner trade but that was my childhood team.

If anything I wished he had won a Cup but he got screwed over by Mike Keenan.

 

[MBH]

Where would the franchise be today if Lafontaine fell to Ilitch?

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

I'm gobsmacked by your rigid definition of flabbergast.

Then you're gobsmacked easil.... naw, I just wanted to say flabbergast a bunch of times if I'm being honest.

 

[BlueDream]

Yeah. Sundqvist, just like Fabbri, has major injury issues and probably won’t have a long career. But when healthy, he is effective.

 

[Gniwder]

The irony being that's probably Abby's body they photoshopped his head onto. The 70 definitely looks like Stecher.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Everything is out of control.
Critical thinking is dead.

That's a tremendous deal for Detroit what are you thinking. Sundqvist
is a legit top 3C center for Detroit and Walman will be a top 6 D.
That deal isn't good for STL.
