Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

[VM1138 1,921]

We can't beat Boston's offer. I doubt we land Shattenkirk.

Edit: Nevermind, I thought they drafted higher.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

My prediction for our offseason:

Holland's shoes after many tires being kicked

[matt198913 932]

If Holland fails this offseason, then he has to go.

[sjr2012 439]

my prediction if there is no moves this offseason.....

Wow. Bold.

[kickazz 5,459]

Yup.

Another 'ho-hum' draft, and free agency.

If you're wrong you owe me gold before Legion comes out.

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Man, I SO badly want Howard to go to Calgary. Please Steve, keep your asking price sky high on Bishop.

[Bannedforlife 403]

When was the last time that Holland traded away a roster player under contract? Its kind of amazing that I cant remember.

[VM1138 1,921]

Wasn't Kindl traded this year for a 7th or something?

Commodore '12, Eaves '14 (in a package), and Jason Williams '07.

Bob McKenzie retweeted that the oilers and blues are in talks about a shattenkirk trade.

Holland "kicking tires" on Shattenkirk, bring him here NOW!

Where is reported

[matt198913 932]

Clearly this team is in need of some subtraction and new blood. Get the job done

[marcaractac 3,963]

Holland needs to basically give Howard away. Ridding that contract is itself a huge win for this team. If Calgary is interested, Holland has no excuses. Get it done.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

He said roster players jk. Holland hasn't traded a major player on the team to shake up things since the 90's. I was one of the people who called for us to trade Nyquist 2 years ago when he went bonkers the 2nd half of the season. He could have snagged us a hell of a player then but loyal Holland wouldn't do anything like that.

[matt198913 932]

Sean Avery might be the last true roster player traded by Holland and even that's a stretch. You might have to go all the way back to the Shanahan deal in 97

[TankIt 9]

Holland is riding on the reputation Scotty built for him. He not only hasn't made any splash trades, but he hasn't signed a good contract either in the last 8 years. It is going to be more of the same until he either retires, or the Ilitches fire him.

No he is riding the days when we didn't have to worry about the salary cap and marquee players flocked to Detroit and took pay cuts for a chance to win the cup. Since the salary cap era began he has proven to be a mediocre gm that is afraid to take a gamble and only makes a trade when he is bent over a barrel.

What's going on with Burke's hair?

[Dominator2005 558]

Please confirm that KH is present!?

[Hey man nice shot! 144]

What's going on with Burke's hair?

White/grey wire hair

[NerveDamage 4,176]

I bet even Bettman's relatives boo him when he gets home

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

White/grey wire hair

I was talking more about the flow.

I love the draft but hate all the talking bulls*** in between.

Of course we wouldn't be involved in anything. We'll probably get Whodaheck.

Jimmy Howard (probably retaining some salary) + Nick Jensen for Rasmus Andersson. Boom.
