Speculation: Trade Deadline: Who will we see in red? (Part 2) (MOD warning #661)

[SoupNazi]

Bob's boy Hannan to SJ for a mid-round pick.

And Nashville fans breath a sigh of relief.

Clearly he gets attached to the players, He said you have to take the emotion out of it but based on what he's done with Cleary, Bert and other guys it does affect him.

I don't think that we can say that definitively. The Wings have always had a certain culture about them, one that takes care of their players more than most other organizations (and which has also been a huge factor in our success the past 20 years), but that doesn't mean that every time there is someone on the roster that we don't think should be there it is because Holland is being emotional. He has traded away players before, which was not easy for him, as he states. But he still did it.

As for what's said in the interview specifically, I don't think there's anything there that doesn't apply to virtually all NHL GMs (with a couple exceptions; some guys do seem to be robots, but I don't think they are collectively any better than non-emotionless-robot GMs). You have guys in your system long enough, get to know them, observe their sacrifices, and there's an attachment. And on the flip side, as Holland states, you try to take the emotion out of roster building for the sake of the organization. I just don't see anything in this interview that's an indictment of Holland's perceived deficiencies. Just my take.

Thanks for the link.

Burmistrov would make me love Holland forever. (not that he cares about me but still!)

I would love it but don't know too much about Burmistrov but he seems to be young with a lot of potential. Can learn from Dats and Z.

The story goes he couldn't afford equipment as a kid so Datsyuk hooked him up. Years later he was a top draft pick.

That's much of the appeal people have with having Datsyuk mentor him.

Edit: whoops its been mentioned.

Slow day today. Burmi moving would be big news.

 

[RedWingsNow*]

Helen St James has a major crush on Bertuzzi

My first search for comparisons for Burmistrov rendered "Pavel Datsyuk" if that's saying anything.

 

[Frk It]

I'm at work and its 1:30. Someone tell me why the hell White hasn't been traded yet?

Just read the thread in the trade forum. Sounds promising. Id do what we could to aquire him. He has a year to 3 or more to learn from Datsyuk and Z to become out C1/C2. Sounds promising. He also has a little bit of size for Babcock.

Babcock said he doesn't want to trade any roster player

Because Ken Holland is a smarter GM than you are.

I really want Burmistrov, but I ain't getting my hopes up.

They're saying Winnipeg wants a Top 6 forward in return. Would something built around Filppula be a lateral move for us?

Helene St. James ‏@HeleneStJames 22 s
Got 90 minutes to go before deadline, but have been told #RedWings not doing anything.

Actually... That'd be a move that makes us better. Young player for pending UFA.

 

[Chris 84]

oh well, if Helene St. James is right, then holland is just being silly. if he didn't want to move picks or prospects for a top6 forward, he could at least have shifted ian white for a 2nd or sth. bah.

Not a lateral move at all. Burmistrov's potential is way higher.

Safe to say then that Tomas Tatar going no where. In hypothetical article he was listed among 10 tempting prospects who may be trade bait today.

I was talking about in the immediate future, but it sounds like we're standing pat anyway according to St. James.

Sending a 1st and or prospects would be worth it for a Burmistrov type of trade.

I understand not moving a 1st for a J-bo but a 21 yr old with 1C potential and is like Datsyuk.

 

[Ricelund]

Pittsburgh acquires Jussi Jokinen.

 

[SoupNazi]

Jussi Jokinen to Pittsburgh for a conditional pick.

It's possible he was dangled in the Bouwmeester trade for all we know, but I don't think there's another deadline player out there that could possibly justify including Tatar at this point.

 

[XO]

Would love to get Burmistrov...

 

[Syckle78]

Glad we aren't moving picks/prospects. Little frustrated it looks like we aren't moving 'depth' to add some picks. Uneventful bleh deadline. Least the tigers play today...

 

[Bench]

Jussi Jokinen to Pittsburgh for a conditional pick.

How many former Dallas draft picks are on that team now? I think that's 4.

 

[crashman]

It would have been nice if a team wanted our garbage.

I think the Quincey trade may have scared Holland from wanting to make trades going forward.
