PS. I love your avatar. I don't think there is anyone else in this world I despise more then Ken Holland.

Yes he is a horrible GM, hasn't pleased me since the summer of 2008 when he managed to sign Hossa. Not one good thing since.
I hope DD signs here, but you understand that these young ones look at the organization and how much icetime they give to the young players and think "Is this really worth it when I can get promised top4 Minutes on several other teams?"

So if Danny theoretically signs today, does he get to play on the big club? Grand Rapids? Have to wait 'till next season?

Man, that was all Babcock and Roest. Don't you know the HF law that Holland is solely responsible for everything bad that happens and has nothing to do with anything good that happens.
Just like the trade that got us our top 2 defensive prospects was all Nill.

Mindfly, this is a "Danny DeKeyser" thread, not a bash Holland thread. If you want to bash Holland, make your own thread, don't derail this one.

Personally I am a fan of how the wings develop their prospects.
But in regards to DD, I don't think what other teams promise really matters - with the exception of Yzerman in Tampa bay.
He is a coveted prospect. I am not stupid enough to think he will swoop in and be lidstrom reincarnated, but I really would like to see us get him.
If we do, I can see him going initially to GR but would bet my arm he gets a couple games up with the big boys as well to see how he can handle it.

I like those pairings a lot. When do you think we could see it? 2 years? I would imagine they will want Sproul and Ouelette to spend at least a year in GR, which again, I have no problem with.
If signing Hossa is your barometer for being happy [mod].
How many teams have signed a FA of Hossa's stature since 08?

As for the pairings... I don't understand the underrating of Kindl. He's currently better than Smith (which isn't saying much since Smith is just starting out) but let's not forget that this is Kindl's first full year... and it's not even a full year. I think he's going to be a solid second liner here on out and hopefully paired with Ericsson.

Examples
Rangers: Gaborik, Richards, (Result: ECF), Traded for Nash.
Kings: Traded for M.Richards, Traded for Carter (Result: Stanley cup)
Wild: Suter, Parise (Result: Division leader, top team in west)
I lold so hard at this post. Bad examples except LA. Nyr and wild will regret those contracts

Don't forget when we have a bad game it's ALL Babcock's fault!!!!! And he should be FIRED on the spot for losing a game!!!

He's probably good enough to do so, but it's DRW, he must earn it in grand rapids first

Um, if Nill is the one calling the shots for the draft, then Nill is the one telling Kenny that he's got his eye on two players he think could fall out of the first round. Kenny isn't going to simply swap one early pick for two picks simply for the sake of multiplication - it'll be because there are particular players targeted.
