Rumor: Red Wings shopping for a D-man on trade market

[tomd]

Nah.

But I could get behind something around Tatar and Fowler.

Fowler is going to cost a lot more than Tatar...

Zero interest then. Fowler isn't that amazing, would rather use the assets on a top pairing defensemen.

 

[Ola]

Staal is an option for them.

 

[Ola]

Mantha and J Ericsson for Staal?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Staal is an option for them.

Except after we sign our RFA's we're not going to have jack **** salary cap wise unless he takes a 1 MIL one year deal

 

[LarKing]

Mantha and J Ericsson for Staal?

Take out Mantha and I still don't know if I would do it.

 

[Syckle78]

Mantha and J Ericsson for Staal?

Is that a real question?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Mantha and J Ericsson for Staal?

A younger player with star potential for Staal, an aging vet on the downslide? No thanks.

 

[InfinityIggy]

We will give you Wideman

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Take out Mantha and I still don't know if I would do it.

You're joking, right?

 

[Syckle78]

We will give you Wideman

We'll give you Ericsson.

 

[LarKing]

No. Staal is an awful defensemen and is signed for more years and more money.

 

[liquiduck]

He was a top paring defensemen for us sooo.

 

[Reddwit]

Wonder if Minnesota missing out on Okposo and buying out Vanek means they're interested in one of Detroits wingers.

 

[BStinson]

Fowler/Tatar seems like the most reasonable deal. Not too sure what's happening with Barrie.

Here's the problem with Tartar and the Ducks...they just don't put 5'10" wingers in their top 6. Just not a fit especially with him being an RFA in a year.

He really isn't, people lump Girardi and Staal together for some reason. Girardi sucked last year, played with a bum knee. Before that he was a valuable D.

Staal is as good as he ever has been. But he has shared a left side with McD and Yandle and just haven't had a big enough role. He was super solid when McD missed time late last season. He is what 29 y/o.

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

I will be surprised if a significant trade is made.

At best, Holland will probably overpay for a bottom pairing guy.

AA for Fowler+2nd 2017

AA for Fowler+2nd 2017

You're on the right track but the add is on the Detroit side. AA is still relatively unproven and Fowler steps in as your #1 LHD.

We are definitely not in agreement over Fowler's skill level.

 

[Gump Hasek]

Mark Stuart, veteran grit, shot-blocking, likes to try to force the play at his own blue line and often misses - leaving his partner horribly exposed to odd-man rushes. Come and get it!

 

[tomd]

I guess not.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Just PR because everyone in Detroit is pissed at Holland now. Nothing has changed.

 

[InfinityIggy]

We'll give you Ericsson.

I'd actually be okay with that
