Rumor: P. Kane to Detroit?

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Sprong has earned his 88, so it would be a travesty that a traditional organization, such as the red wings, would just rip a number away from a player like that.

Would be wrong, no?

Wait...when did Sprong "earn" the #88?

He has played 10 games as a DRW..

I've earned my DRW # more than he has

 

[Cake Eater]

Not sure you can change numbers in the middle of the season.

Actually never seen a ruling on this at the NHL level.

I am not specifically replying to you but to everyone in here...not just because I have gone through this with a couple others on this exact thread, but the idiocy of people actually believing the ridiculousness of what I said is close to astonishing.











The difference between this time and last time I did this, I will end it without the back and forth because sarcasm seems to elude some people...

Lol

Sorry dude, unfortunately sarcasm rarely comes through in messages on a message board..


All good

no no. I thought I laid it on pretty thick lmao. No sorry needed, these boards are for fun and a random good/actual conversation here and there, I just find it hilarious that regardless of what is said, someone can always find a negative in it or not realize the absurdity. It's actually quite fun tbh.

I know sarcasm is tough on message boards....but come on guys (not just you). I have been harping on getting kane this entire thread, but I am going to insist him on getting a different number, the same number he has used since how long, because the almighty sprong has it? IDK man lmao. I thought it was obvious, maybe I should work on the delivery.

Sprong does have a hell of a shot though so maybe he did, in fact, earn that 88?

 

[jaster]

seeing some Blackhawks fans lose their mind at the sight of him in a Red Wings jersey would be amusing.

This is a common refrain among Wings fans. But Hawks fans are saying the opposite, "Seeing Wings fans have to root for Patrick Kane would be amusing."

It would be a weird situation for all of us.

Been there already with Chelios

Been there already with Chelios

Yeah, I hated Chelios, the idea of Chelios being a Red Wing, hated the day they added him as a Red Wing. Then I was over it in about 2 games and loved the guy by the dozen game mark or so.

Jonathan Marchessault did it with TBL. So unless the league changed the rules within the past 8 years, I don;t see an issue there.

Some of the other pro sports leagues don't allow it, and it screws the fans that bought jerseys. But who'd buy a Sprong jersey when he's on a one year contract?

I'd be happy to re-sign him only if he pretends that all of the opponents are F1 drivers. Maybe try hypnosis?

don't you think it would be much more annoying and intrusive for him to try and love/fuc* the hell out of his opponents instead of hitting?

Imagine? Just non stop trying to hug other players when they are yelling or bit*hing at him for x/y/or z. Guaranteed he'd be our best penalties drawn player, if not the leagues best.

side note: isn't that why dbc smiles at everybody when they chirp him? Because he believes it bothers them more than trying to chirp back? I think I saw that somewhere.

Probably, sometimes the NHL is like a bar after midnight, lol.

Tomas Holmstrom wore 15 until Dmitri Mironov was acquired at the TDL. Holmstrom then switched to 96.

ah so lesser players can take the numbers then?

Well I guess kane can have 88 then. Damn shame

 

[sepster]

At that point, Holstrom had played less than 100 NHL games while Mironov was a 7-year veteran.

By signing kane and putting him on the first line (if he can hold up of course) would slot everyone in the proper position of the lineup for where they should be at.

It pushes copp and perron (or gone) down. Raymond gets to slow things down a bit with compher, etc. I think Raymond is smart and can hang with the high IQ players of the world, but I think he plays much more effectively when he plays with linemates that are a touch slower. just opinion from what i have seen so far.

kane - larkin - dbc
ras - compher - raymond
sprong - copp - perron
kostin - veleno - fischer

Yes, with his play, I would probably interchange veleno and copp here, or potentially move perron to the bench (as I have wanted for a year now) and put veleno as 3c, copp and sprong on the wings, and keep czarnick on the 4th. If it were me, I would have an extremely tough time justifying sending czarnick down to the AHL with how he plays and how he fits in his role and how he plays in between fischer/kostin. Perron has not earned it still imo to stay up and not be a healthy scratch at the very least for quite some time now. Or traded of course.

Kane is not a first line player at this point in his career. I know he wants to play with Debrincat, but he can do that on the PP if he signs here.

I will say this has more legs because chicago is a bad team this year and for the near future. If they were halfway decent or good, then this wouldn't hold up too much and it would be far more amusing for detroit fans towards chicago.

Well, things did not end well for Backstrom's hip surgery.

Capitals C Backstrom (hip) likely done for season

Washington Capitals C Nicklas Backstrom is unlikely to return to play this season as he deals with ongoing issues with his surgically repaired left hip, general manager Brian MacLellan said Monday.
