It’d be nice, but unless it’s a real game changer with term like Robert Thomas or Weegar, I’m fine with a stop-gap that doesn’t cost much to play on the second pairing D to kind of shelter ASP in the playoffs a bit.
I just don’t know if anyone is gonna move a big piece to us and Yzerman be willing to give it up. The only way I’d be upset is finding out we could’ve had Thomas for like a Danielson, Goalie, a first, and Wallinder type package and Steve didn’t make a move on it.
I want Trocheck, which means we certainly won’t be getting Trocheck.
I also wanted Quinn Hughes.
I just want to see a move at this point
I tend to agree but hope we are wrong!
I also want Trocheck badly
I appreciate the patience by most of the Detroit GMs front offices. I think it’s too early for the Wings to be blowing their load unless it’s a guy who’s like 26 or younger who will be around for the next 6 years at a high level.
I could only imagine Larkin take if nothing happens again.
I have a gut feeling that we will do something this year finally.
I really believe that Larkin opened Yzermans eyes when he called him out for not trying to improve the team.
Lets hope. Friday is getting closer
What’s he gonna do? Disappear again like he did at the end of last season?
Hes definitely my 2nd choice.
I mean he has a habbit of doing that

Damn lol. As my daughters would say, “clock it”
All I’m saying is that if you’re serious about being a good team, and you think you have the balls to call out your GM who was a former captain of the team that you played for and is one of the most iconic sports faces in the city, maybe try not being -15 after the all star break and having more than 10 or 11 even strength points in 27 games when it matters.
Thomas has 4.5 years left on his 8.15m aav contract.
Compensation
1st & 3rd round pick (have em)
C Danielson & FW Bear
Seeya!
Id make that deal in a heartbeat
Kasper - Larkin - Raymond
Catt - Thomas - Kane
JVR - Copp - Compher
Finnie - Rass - Apple
Why exactly would we not make a deal like that?
I think we would. The problem is the Blues asking price. The Sabres were apparently offering more and couldn’t close the deal last night when everyone said it was close. Reports are that trading between the lines, the Blues wanted Owen Power in return. They’ve said all along they want an NHL-ready caliber young star +++ and so far that’s held true from what I’ve read. The Blues have little incentive to move Thomas if it’s not for a kings ransom.
I’d give them any two of Danielson, Bear, MBN; either Cossa or Augustine; and a 1st and I’m still not sure they’d bite.
I like the wings deal but i think your right.
Someone else is gonna likely outbid them. Unfortunately but thats how it goes
Utah Mammoth trading for MacKenzie Weegar.
