The rumor is he is going to be waived this weekend when Smith comes off IR, the logical choice is to waive Ericsson or Kronwall since they would not be claimed but Kenny does not want to hurt feelings.

Get them both but the D prospects would have to be better than that.

If you send Green up to Edmonton take back Fayne to offset some cap hit

Thread: Want Vanek re-signed

Hey everyone can have their own opinion and I can respect that but just amazed so many Wings fans want to continue down this same path as the GM put them on. Getting good quality players and utilizing their ELCs is the way to go imo not trading for and signing new high priced contracts.

Thread: possible deadline (CHI, NSH, LAK, CBJ)

We will see if Kenny has learned anything, my hope is that he has and asks Green to be moved this year and gets it done. Look at the roster, he will have Marchenko, Sproul, Jensen, and Russo "ready" for the right side next year. Are any of them a better choice than Green? No but they are there, he needs to move people out. Chances are he is going to have GR kids up front who are ready next year whether he wants them or not, that is why he needs to move Nyquist and Tatar out. We will see what happens.

Thread: 2017 TDL

What Kenny does with the expansion draft and what needs to be done are worlds apart, Hank does not need to be protected imo but probably will be so there are no hurt feelings. IF this scenario played out like this then I would look at protecting Mantha, AA, Nielsen, Tatar, DDK, Fowler, then pick two of Ouellet, Sproul, and Marchenko. Heck DDK probably does not even protection because of that contract. Completely doubt Luke needs protection with his cap hit tripling starting next year either, $ 1.8 million for him is not going to be good at all.

It is actually not that far off money wise for Montreal, a couple of picks and say McCarron and I am sold.

You get three total retentions at once no? Fehr is garbage, so what? Ship him to GR. They turn Tatar into a first round pick and get two magic beans for Smith.

For me it sounds good, Holland would hold out for Kessel though that is why trades are hard for him. But yes, it sounds fair.

Thread: Smith Value

A lower tier right handed d-man who is a project or wish for a 4th rounder and take a 5th.

I know nothing about their prospects, is Bengtsson high or low on their radar? The smart ass answer is any defenseman who is 5'7" or smaller or forward who don't check and dekes at the blue line.

Keep the pick, this franchise will need it. Roster has major issues personnel, money, make up etc. Sell sell sell for picks and prospects.

Thread: Let's Start The Rebuild

I am from the school of thought that there is no way Detroit can trade Hank or Kronner even if someone wanted them, if they decide to hang it up before those contracts end they are going to get hit bigly with the cap recapture fees. If they are on the roster they can at least LTIR them when the time comes. Not many people have taken the time and tried to go out 3-5 years and see for themselves just how big of a mess Kenny has done with this roster, think lottery picks are in their future for 4-6 years even if they fight it, it is a complete mess. Should never have signed Nielsen, overpaid and over termed on both Abby and Helm then throw in Hank, Kronner, and Big E he just royally screwed the pooch.

Thread: Let's Start The Rebuild

I'm cool with the Anaheim trade but I think the reason Fowler is usually included is because Anaheim would have to send cap hit back to Detroit to make it work. Does Tatar fit better under this scenario?

Thread: 17-18

I would love it to happen but this notion that Tatar or Nyquist are going to bring in talent good enough on the blueline to help is very wishful thinking, imo they both need to be moved at the TDL for picks and low cost prospects and the roster needs to be rebooted. Green needs to be moved, Kenny needs a time machine and not sign Nielsen and Helm and instead take Chychrun in the last draft. The upcoming draft they might be able to get Liljegren at least. Having DDK, Liljegren, Ouellet, Sproul, and Russo on the blue line would be a nice start to a reboot, having Chychrun would have been great. The 2018 draft they need to eyeball Svechnikov's brother. This roster is at least a 5 year project and I am being generous with that. Holland needs to be cattle prodded any time he looks into signing anyone over the age of 27 if he is going to be around for awhile.

Thread: New Years trade/line resolutions

Keep that #1 pick unless you are getting all world talent, likely to be a high end lottery pick for a player on an EL contract.

Thread: Other side of onicapla trade

Do you like it? I think it helps both teams, think the Wings would rather have Trouba but Myers is a good consolation. It helps the Jets I think and allows the Wings roster to open up a little to make other moves and gives them a good D in return. Could be worked a little but think it is decent on both ends.

Thread: This Is It

My only difference to this would be I think Winnipeg would ask for Ouellet over Smith, Smith being an UFA after one year and Ouellet being a RFA after the year. Would also figure out something out with Sproul so not just giving him away for nothing, either as an 8th D or keeping Russo down for the time being. Just my opinion though.

Thread: You absolutely CAN trade Datsyuk's contract

The scenario that I have heard is the contract is traded, Coyotes and Datsyuk mutually agree to void the contract thus allowing him to play in the KHL. If he retires neither team is paying any actual cash just the cap hit stays around, the Wings can terminate the contract as well but they would keep the cap hit, if they decided not the terminate the contract the cap hit stays but again no money is paid out. Long story, no one has to pay any actual money in any scenario if he decides to leave but someone has to terminate the contract for him to play in the KHL.

Thread: You absolutely CAN trade Datsyuk's contract

Totally goes against Kenny's M.O. but they have to think about biting the bullet and buying out Big E's contract or see how iron clad his Modified NTC is, he is not terrible as a player but that contract clogs up the roster. Bad contract all around.
