Claimed off Waivers: Carolina claims Martin Frk

[Teemu]

actually, i think he means that we are bringing our redneck jerseys back

Does it come with a free tribal arm band tattoo?

 

[RedMenace]

I hate Detroit but some Wings fans are really overreacting in this thread.

It's not just in this thread, brother. Have you been to the Wings board lately? It's absolutely ridiculous.

The tattoo sleeve is sold separately

 

[Pyromaniac]

And why shouldn't we? Trade Frk who's still on a ELC who's better then Pulkkinen bigger just as good of a holey slapper. Pulkkinen should've been the one to be put on waivers not Frk. But oh well that's Holland for you.

Neither Pulk nor Frk are worth complaining about. Neither will have much of an impact in the NHL. I suspect Frk will be back on waivers this season itself.

I can understand people being unhappy with the direction of the team but this move is fairly inconsequential.

I would wear that...

Why is this the first time I'm seeing these? Glorious.

What was Detroit thinking?

We like giving away assets for nothing.

 

[RedMenace]

We like giving away assets for nothing.

Those two players are NOT assets.

Players in the AHL are pushing them out. They aren't good enough to displace anyone on the current roster. Their worth is negligible at best.

How are those assets by any definition?

You try having an utterly useless GM make dumb move after dumb move year after year...then you'd understand.

We have a growing base of TANK fans... who are getting more and more upset when we DONT tank, and let go middling NHLers

It's symptomatic of the problem as a whole. It's a badly constructed roster that's gone from mediocre to bad in the last 5 years. Instead of rebuilding or at the very least leaving spots open to try guys out and maybe find some talent we continually plug holes with well plugs. The bigger issue is it yet another wasted draft pick that's amounted to nothing. Drafting is supposed to be Holland's saving grace but he hasn't hit on much in the last 10 years.

We have hardly any true tank fans. We have a lot of "stop signing mediocre vets to lifetime contracts just to maybe-kind-of-sort-of hover in 8th place or back into the playoffs and then get blasted by a depleted team in the playoffs"-fans. They're not the same thing.

Meant the first time on Saturday over Frk, Pulkkinen should've been waived last Saturday and kept Frk on the team instead.

Reminds me of the Devils before Shero came in. Constantly plugging holes, only to put ourselves in a bigger hole than before.

Worse name..Mark Pysyk or Martin Frk?

I wonder if Frk can buy one of those Ys off of Pysyk...

I was thinking maybe he could borrow a vowel off of Aho - he could be Fark or Fork depending.

I just want the matching Rattail.

Holland has been exposed as an average GM ever since Nill, Bowman, & McDonell left, sadly.

Totally agree, It's just bad asset management on Holland's part though.

They're not assets. KH even tried trading them and nobody wanted to give up and their "assets" for scrubs. Lol

A dollar bill with gooey dog poop rubbed all over it found on the sidewalk is worth more than these Detroit "assets".

What in the hell? Tatar, Nyquist, Athanasiou, Mantha, Dylan fricken Larkin, Ouellet, Mrazek, off the top of my head and I'm not even a Wings fan. When your highest pick in 15 years was Larkin at 15th overall, it goes to show how good Detroit has been and producing NHL worthy prospects.

For those interested, this would have cost Carolina $67,500, not counted against the cap, paid to Detroit.

Costs money for waivers claims. You need about $67000 dog poop bills.

Beaten.
