Hell no.
Seeing Holland and Tambellini reminded me of the Ryan Whitney talk this week. There is an all time low value.

IMO they don't need to buy him out, Gaborik does have plenty of value value.
Thoughts on getting Hamrlik ?
If the Sabres continue to suck. I wonder if they might dangle Vanek at the deadline. He sure would look awesome with Pavel. Same goes for Iginla or Semin.
Frankly, the only trades that makes sense for the Wings right now are a blockbuster for a top pairing d-man (a defensive righty shot to play next to Kronwall, preferably) or some of our own excess forwards for picks.
Our top 6 forwards are fine:
Datsyuk
Zetterberg
Flip
Brunner
Mule
Bab's flavor of the month
Our bottom 6 forwards are more like a bottom 12
We've got 1 top 2 dman in Kronwall (but good lord does he need a defensive oriented partner)
arguably 4 guys that can fit on a 2nd pairing:
White
Ericsson
Smith
Quincey (possibly not a good system fit on this team but I'm willing to give him more time)
And any one of Kindl, Huskins, or Colaalallaclaclcocovivo can be a #6 guy.
I don't think we can lose Franzen right now
He's good but he's hot and cold. I think if there was a time to explore our options with the mule it's now while he has value. There's lots of teams hungry for an offensive spark and a little grit. Montreal Calgary Washington just to name a few.
We can't lose a good top-six player or I would. I don't want Sammy in the top-six.

If only we just had a top 6 player just laying around, dying to show what he can do....
