Allow me to say how sad it makes me seeing Tatar offered up in so many of our trade proposals.
I can see the benefit of consolidating talent /picks into a single, better player -- but damn I love the way he plays, and hope's he's with us for a long time.
Yeah I'm with you there. He's a special depth player that changes the dynamic of a 3rd line.
I find it especially annoying when people talk about rather trading Tatar than Pulkkinen. That's crazy talk to me.
Ehrhoff really intrigues me and is a hockey move. The price is always the problem with me though (and Ken Holland post lockout).
I'm not interested in moving any of the young forwards currently playing in Detroit nor an I interested in moving Mantha.
Pulkkinen, Andersson, Ferraro, Kindl, either AA, and potentially any of our defenceman not named Sproul I might pull the trigger on depending on the total package.
I'm not intersted in dealing a 1st either. A 2nd is negotiable.
I think Nyquist holds a little more value because he's better in the defensive zone. You can teach defense though. It's mostly positioning, support and discipline.Because Tatar has more value and might actually got a trade done. It's not because people want to get rid of him.
The only good reasoning I've heard for trading Tatar is that he's an upcoming RFA and since the Wings have treated him like ****, he may be difficult to negotiate with or bolt to the KHL.

If this were a year ago, I would say that Tatar would be 100% gone. But now I'm not so sure.
I think it's more because he's a good young player, and could net a good return.
I was more hinting at reasons why people are so quick to throw Tats into proposals more predominately, while Jurco, Nyquist and Sheahan aren't.
Yeah, it may have taken longer than he (and we) wanted but he's in the NHL now and seems to be having a blast.
more like people view Nyquist and Jurco as future core pieces and Sheahan is a Center
Tatar is and will be a good player but he's more of a depth guy
OK, it's been a while since the Wings had a just a "depth guy" that's capable of scoring 25-30 goals a season potentially. Tat's has a lot of heart and soul out there for just a "depth" guy.
I'd hate to see Tatar moved. Besides for Datsyuk he is by far the most exciting player to watch. Also, I can't remember the last time I've seen a Wings player with the desire to score goals like Tatar. The guy just loves to score

If a deal was going to get done for Edler it would have been done by now. I have no interest in Kesler who could quickly become Bert 2.0. He's past his sell-by date. Let the Canucks choke on that contract.
All I've wanted since #5 retired was for our kids to get a chance to show what they've got. They've done nothing but impress. Work on getting a legit offensive d-man during free agency, a guy like Boyle, Timonen or Markov would work. All of these guys other than Markov are in obvious decline so I'd only do a short 1-2 year deal. I'd be willing to give Markov a 3-4 year deal.
If you fan on them - this is Ken Holland we are talking about - then start playing Backman, Sproul, Marchenko and Ouellet in Detroit. No one is going to ****ing believe Quincey and Kindl provide us with "depth" on defense. So let's avoid making the same mistake on defense we made on offense and just get the youth movement started.
I would not trade Tatar for Kelser straight up.
