I would take a chance on Grigorenko. Everone else passed him over I would offfer 1 yr at $1.5M to see what he could do. He has played 3 partial season on absolutely brutal teams. Worth a look, and if not nice piece for GR Griffins.

This is most likely going to be our lineup to start the season. Looks like alot more frustation from the fan base for another year at least.

You're right these are fun and it's rare anyone agrees with the trades. At the end of the day we just all want our teams to be better.Enjoy !

Throw in Victor Edjsell and you'd have yourself a deal for Zetterberg.

Not too bad, IMO the term length for both Tatar and DeHaan is too long. Shorten them both by a year and it looks good.

Thread: Stock up on Draft Picks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AZWings</b></div><div>This has promise. Thoughts, 1)no reason to buy-out E and Hicketts probably isn't ready for prime-time yet. 2)That's a lot for Howard, throw in that extra 3rd rounder this year. 3)DFW trade I think swap out the 2018 4th for the 2018 2nd (OTT).</div></div>
Ericsson's buyout would save the club quite a bit of cap space and open up a roster spot for a youngster. ( Hicketts, Russo or Hronek) we need Kronner to help mentor the young kids. Even if he's only able to do it on LTIR. If Holland comes close to these even if we have to sweeten the pot, I personally would like to see some major push towards younger players and sooner than later.

Dallas has stated they would be interested in making a move on the #3 pick for a scoring winger. Nyquist would be a good fit and maybe we throw them a prospect like (Saarijarvi) to make this deal happen.

Swapping the 16th overall for Wings 38th overall pick. Salary retention and CGY get's their #1 goalie at a reasonable cost for the next 2 years. Could throw in an extra 2017 3rd rounder to make the deal work.

Not too bad. I would rather give up a prospect than our 2019 1st round pick. Maybe we sacrifice Saarijarvi instead. He could be the new Toby Enstrom for the Jets in 2-3 years.

Thread: Rumours, Draft picks & Making Cap Space

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Edubbnaz</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LarkinTheNextOne</b></div><div>

Oh come on, it's not That bad!</div></div>

It is not the worst I have seen for sure, but there are definitely some issues. Like for instance, having 9 defensemen on the roster or playing Athanasiou at center when he has been almost exclusively a wing since joining the Wings.

I personally do not like the idea of having Larkin as the 1C either. I know he played well at the World's and he should be played at center only going forward, but I would prefer to see Frans and Zetterberg taking the top two center spots. A top 9 of Abdelkader/Zeterberg/Nyquist, Tatar/Nielsen/Mantha, Athanasiou/Larkin/Svechnikov would be ideal IMO. This would give the Wings three lines that should be able to score while also giving them the forward depth to take advantage of most teams third or fourth lines.</div></div>

Appreciate the feedback and McIlrath should have been in minors here. Hicketts would be 1st call up if injuries occur. I agree with the majority of your line combos. Although I would like to see Z play with Svechnikov so he can learn from him, similar to how he helped Mantha progress last year. I still think we need to deal Nyquist or Tatar to get us a solid 1D man to build the Defense corps around.

Big fan of your moves. Green trade injects a 20G/yr player and more youth. Tatar as much as I don't want to trade him we need alot of help on D.

Thread: 2017/18 season First full season in Little Caesars Arena

I agree. I cringe everytime I see our full list of D men. Without LTIR or a buyout I think the Wings are in for a couple more years or pain. BUT on the brightside we got to experience the NHL lottery of the 1st time this season and maybe our luck changes for the better in the Lottery next season !

As much as I would not want to loose Mantha, I have to admit the 1st and 2nd Line combos are really appealing!
