Confirmed with Link: Marek Zidlicky to Detroit for a 3rd

[bullocks]

We could add a forward just as much a D depending on how bad helms hurt. Cole and zidlicky would be good for me.

Posted that yesterday LOL thx Kenny!

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

ok now i hate it.

We don't have a 2nd round pick, right? So it must be the 2016 one?

 

[Jusek]

Aww yiss, perfect job Kenny! One forward and one defenceman, who would have thought?

 

[Fugu]

That's fair.

 

[Satrebil]

This was a very savvy move.

Zidlicky had full no-move. Was willing to waive it for Cup contender. Shows what he thinks of Detroit.

Good deal. Now we just need to dump Kindl somewhere.

Unfortunately no one wants Kindl.

 

[last_sd]

I think it means 2016 3rd becomes 2015 if we make SCF?
If we make SCF I would be okay with that.

 

[Outl4w]

I mean Marchenko should go down if we can't find a taker for Kindl. Maybe kindl for a later round pick? I like Cole as well. He will bring some much needed grit and scoring for the playoffs. I really hope Mule comes back for one last run at the Cup. Can you Imagine:
Tatar D Cole
Franzen Z Nyquist
Weiss Sheahan Helm
Abby Luke G. Miller/Jurco/Anders
That is one nice line up.
D:
Kronwall EE
Quincey DD
Zids Smith/Kindl

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

But but... there is no 2015 second to have conditions on.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

That can't be right, the 2015 2nd went to Dallas for Cole.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Okay. But isn't that too many defensemen? Are they really going to try to carry 8/9 NHL defensemen? Surely somebody has to go.

Doesn't matter no roster limits.

This is a very good deal, the Leafs got greedy.. Zidlicky is a great fit for our group.

Looks like our best d-man in the playoffs last year will be our first guy in case of injury.

If Franzen and Helm come back, you're looking at the deepest team in the east running the gauntlet that is the NHL playoffs. Massive depth up front and on D.

 

[hot dog]

We don't have a 2015 second. Have to think it's 2016 third, second instead if we make the final.

 

[ChadS]

You think either of these guys will be extended after this year?

 

[Hendricks433]

They are saying the pick is conditional, as well.

I don't think it's conditional, I think we add the 2nd rounder if we make the Finals. Who cares at that point.

No way we send Marhcy down with how he's played and him being RH. We gotta me making a move to trade Smith or Kindl no?

 

[The Geelee]

we don't have 2015 2nd, has to be 2016

 

[BazDaSpaz]

Love this trade. I'm happy with both moves Kenny made. Or depth is awesome. If we can stay healthy were in for a good playoff run.

 

[detredWINgs]

Soo much competition on defense now.

 

[last_sd]

Doesn't it mean 3rd -> 2nd if we reach SCF?
Both pick from 2016

 

[hot dog]

You think either of these guys will be extended after this year?

possibly a one year deal for Zidlicky if we strike out on Green. don't see Cole getting an extension.

 

[Wingdings]

I like it. Not a bad trade deadline this year.

 

[SoupNazi]

Great deal.

Now dump Kindl and let's roll!

[mindfly]

He becomes the oldest player in Detroit actually
