six points up on cbus with them having a game in hand.  

washington looks finished.

if meyers hasnt been moved by friday morning, he could still end up in detroit.  rumors are he wants to go elsewhere but could still waive his ntc if nother else opens up.

seems like a game they'll need 4th quarter cade to win.

Big yikes giving up a 2nd round pick for an expiring McCarron.  Wings should shop Rasmussen and Compher if this is what the C market is like 😂

he isnt even any good.

buffalo rumored as a spot for faulk/thomas....i cant imagine what the price would be for both.  4 first rounders?

Aren’t we going to pickup an extra comp pick in the 3rd round for Glenn and a possible 4th round for Davis leaving? 
 

If so, there is going to be a lot of ammo to move around in the middle of the draft. 

i thought they traded the glenn comp picks to get teslaa.

People who don't like the trade don't like it for sentimental reasons. 

same folks who were mad when they let jamal williams walk.

I'm not familiar enough with the cap rules, but I wonder if the team and Glasgow came to some sort of an  agreement prior today's announcement. 

Would a buyout affect the cap?

glasgow was bad last year.  he's done.  there is no need to bring him back on any type of deal.

football is a young man's game.  time to retire for graham.  he had a great career and got paid.  go fish with ragnow and enjoy your life.

i have a lot of reservations for decker for the same reason.  i think he's likely done.  better to retire before the game retires you.  but i hope i'm wrong.

Twitter being Twitter—half see this move as a positive given the reasons stated here.  The others think this is the worst move ever with the Lions not getting nearly enough in return.

i dont see how anyone doesnt see that as a great trade for detroit.  every "trade ranking" post ive seen have given the lions an A or A+ for that trade and the texans a D.  detroit got great value.

acquiring him would be a HUGE leap of faith.

but where there is this much smoke, there has to be some fire.  if the wings are truly interested in him, they must think they can tap into that potential in a way vancouver cant.  that the wings locker room and history with swedes will bring him out of his funk.

i get it.  but it would just kill me for a team hell bent on acquiring guys "hard to play against" and "tough" would acquire the softest player in hockey.  if they do, it better be because raymond and zetterburg and lidstrom think they can motivate him.

i'm pretty sure some of you have said this already.

but i have my doubts.

why would anyone want that guy on your team?  he would be making more money than seider, larkin, and raymond.

THAT'S who you want as your highest paid player?  because he once had 100 points before turtling in the playoffs.

please stevie.  please dont do it.

conor murphy to the oilers for a second.  half retained.

i hope they have something lined up for faulk or trocheck or something.  murphy for a second is pretty steep.

7 points clear of washington with the wings having a game in hand.

10 points clear of columbus with the blue jackets having 3 games in hand.

The JI trade moves us up from #30-ish to #21-ish.

At least as of today...

i believe that if that pick falls below 19 we dont get it, is that right?

Seems odd

how much draft capital are they giving us to take that contract off their hands?

if not, no need to revisit.

much needed win.

aljo!

and there it is.  😞

****, Talbot in to start the second.  It would not be good to lose Gibson for any sort of extended time.

Sebastian Cossa come on down?

every march a key wing gets hurt and they spiral right out of the playoff race.

Can we trade Ras for...

Anything?

Some pucks?

Yeesh... he's ended up being the exact same as Mantha.

both are lazy passengers too often but mantha was at least talented and could score.  ras is close to worthless.

It's our trade deadline addition 😎

can we call him up and bench ras?

given that schedule, this is kind of a must win game.

wow.  i never thought they'd get anything for an aging monty.  great trade.

"Journalism" is so sad these days, a fake Friedman twitter account tweeted that Petterson got traded to Detroit for a 1st and Danielson.  Yahoo Sports somehow picked it up and now has an article saying it happened.

whoops they just killed it lol

you gave me a damn heart attack.

as long as the pistons have cade they have a shot.  he's almost always the best player on the floor  nowadays.  top 10 player in the league, maybe top 5.
