Thread: Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>You sure? If he was that good, why sign for as little as he did..... and in Detroit?

He isn't that good lol</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>signed in detroit to build up his value for his next contract. Detroit would want to maximize on that trade potential.</div></div>

He signed in Detroit partly bc he is from Detroit, grew up there, and already lives in Detroit during the offseason, it’s home. Already trains in offseason with both Wings players and other NHLers from the area in past years. Wanted to play for Wings and help bring success, so chose them over other options. Vladdy is Slava Kozlov’s nephew, is how he ended up there at young age. He’s been very average so far this year. Playing a lot better of late.

Thread: Three Trade Options for the Top 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>I don't think this makes any sense for Edmonton. Holloway may be the better player already and almost certainly will be in a year or 2, and he's millions cheaper than Mantha. Lavoie is tracking like Mantha, I'd just keep the prospect and the 1st and Neal over a 40-50 point guy like Mantha.</div></div>

Holloway may be the better player already? You’re kidding yourself.
Being out west, you’re forgiven for likely seeing a lot less of Mantha. But he’s much more than you’re giving credit.
Your opinion is fine though. I’m not saying it’s wrong if you want to wait for your guys to develop.
Just observing the Edmonton message boards are looking for a top line LW. It’s interesting seeing you guys identify the holes, wanting to upgrade your roster, knowing that you’re getting closer but mostly not willing to give up anything of value to other teams in return. To me, the way the divisions are set up now, you just have to win the division and you’re in the final 4, which for you likely means beating Toronto. No disrespect to Jets.

Thread: Waiver Pick Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Snowman</b></div><div>Oops haha You're right. I didn't watch that game. Last I read about DDK was Blash saying his legs aren't close to what they used to be and he needs more time to train. But still the fact he was back in the lineup when he shouldn't be playing shows how thin we are on Defense Depth. I'd rather put Schenn in there and let DDK rehab further and maybe he's 100% next year.</div></div>

It’s his back. Not his legs. He’s having lingering back problems that likely won’t ever go away. And no, it shows how much our forwards suck. Blash apparently feels better chance at winning with an extra D and double shifting Larkin. DK probably gets bought out this summer unless LTIR. Tough end for a great guy.

Thread: Three Trade Options for the Top 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>I really think Holloway is the piece the Oilers are least likely to move. Aside from Bouchard I guess. He's everything the team needs, big, fast, feisty, winger with skill who can crash and bang. Oilers aren't trading him, even for Mantha.</div></div>

Fair. But Mantha is a top line power forward finisher you’d be putting next to the best player in the world right now for the playoffs and the next three years. Could be downright scary for other teams. And he’s ornery to play against to boot. He could be a much bigger difference maker than Holloway. Holloway’s role seems easier to fill. Realistically have to give to get.. I’ve been proposing adding Neal in the trade to even out money and so Oil can still add in FA. Detroit fans dislike bc they love Mantha. Or I guess could make a lesser deadline add with less impact. I don’t think many fans on this site make true hockey trades. Most everyone is out here only trying to win the deal. This trade could be be win win
