Kyle Quincey A Red Wing Again

PrintBoys and girls, the theme of today is "everything is happening".
Hours after the Wings announced Pavel Datsyuk's knee surgery would keep him out 2 weeks, the team traded for former Red Wings Kyle Quincey.
Follow the bouncing players: the Lightning traded Steve Downie to the Avalanche for Quincey. The Lightning then flipped Quincey to the Wings for Detroit's first round pick in 2012 and prospect Sebastien Piche.
Initial reaction is that this is a hell of a trade. Reports are that this year's draft is not a deep one, so the Wings' draft pick won't be valuable at all. I know there are fans questioning giving up a 1st rounder for Quincey, but the market for defensemen is clearly out of whack.
The bigger question is what this means for the Wings' defense corps going forward. You don't trade for a guy like Quincey to sit on the bench, so Jakub Kindl and Mike Commodore could be seeing more of the press box than they like. Or, it could mean that Kindl is trade bait to land someone else.
A very hearty "welcome back" to Quincey, who was waived in 2008 because the Wings had 14 defensemen that year. Also, a high five to Steve Yzerman, who just turned Steve Downie into a 1st round draft pick and prospect at the expense of the Avalanche. If this whole GM thing doesn't work out, he might as well just claim his stake in the Avalanche since it's become painfully obvious that he owns them.

I had heard Quincy was available this morning and thought...
I hope he finds his way back home. Boy never expected this quickly though!
Now only if we can get
Fleishmann back.. I heard Detroit was pursuing him pretty hard during the off season until Florida gave him that ludicrous offer.. He’s been playing very well there this season though..

Kyle Quincey (born August 12, 1985) is a Canadian ice hockey defenceman currently playing for the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League.

Nice! I like it!
Quincey has turned into a great D-man.. He’ll definitely bolster the blue line.
What does this mean for Kindl and Commie? Hopefully Kindl is involved in a package for someone like Hemsky, Ruutu, Moen, Gaustad, etc to fill out the roster nicely.

Wings don't technically have to waive a D-Man if Eaves doesn't come back
It might actually make sense for them to carry 13F / 8D instead of the more traditional 14/7
Wings have a lot of home games left, so Grand Rapids isn’t too far away. f you consider Tatar/Nyquist the de facto 14th forward (because they don’t have to clear waivers to bounce up and they’re both considered NHL-ready), then you don’t lose as much going that route (except having to sit two D-men every night in the Leino lounge).

If we do use that method...
What’s the news on Eaves? When is he supposed to come back?

I like it
I knew in typical holland-esque fashion that he was going to make a move for someone that has not been bombarded with trade rumors. Getting Quincey back for a 1st rounder considering we lost him on waivers might look bad to some people but remember, hindsight is always 20/20. A 1st rounder plus low level prospect for a 6-2, 22min/night, 30-35 point, 26 year old d-man looks pretty safe to me. One thing that bothers me a little bit (very tinny bit) is he shoots left but Quincey can man the point on the pp, instead of huds and I’m loving it already. Dont be surprised to see wings carry kindl and commy into the playoffs since holland knows you can never have enough dman in the playoffs. His commitment to this deal shows Detroit means business about this years playoffs.
Also TGFY. Thank god for yzerman. Not only did he help us land a solid dman, he got a 1st rounder and a prospect for downie! That Steve downie!

Gotta say giving up a prospect and a 1st for a guy we WAIVED leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But in Kenny we trust.
Piche isn't a prospect
He’s a pretty long shot to even make a high pairing in the AHL.

Just tweeted to JJ, something that hasn't been mentioned
He’s an RFA in the second year of a two-year, $3.125 million dollar deal. What that means is that as long as we at least tender him before July 1st (don’t necessarily have to sign), whoever signs him will have to provide us compensation based on the cap hit number (if it’s around or above $3 million, we could be looking at a relatively high draft pick).

I'm thinking about the same thing.
My first thought was “this trade doesn’t make sense AT THIS POINT”. But, if you’re going to turn Kindl into trade bait, which I kinda dislike the thought of since he’s played pretty well this year, go with Huds and him for a scorer and I instantly like this deal.
if only the devils sucked.

They need to trade Kindl.
Use him in a trade to either get another forward, or just draft pick(s). I like Ericsson, Commodore, and Quincey as the 5,6, and 7 defensemen. Then Brendan Smith in an extreme emergency.
so I'm assuming that this likely takes us out of the potential Weber race

"this year's draft is not a deep one"
as is every draft every year for the past five years. nothing against you, Graham, but i’m sick of that argument. i do agree that the Red Wings’ likely draft position is going to suck (what else is new?) and that the market for defensemen just shot through the roof. or has it? i’m starting to think that maybe we should expect this to be the norm now; remember that a bunch of defensemen have raked in a whole heaping of $$$ in free agency recently. maybe the market is reflecting that trend in the assets given up for defensemen.
i’m excited about Quincey being back though.
You wanna tell me that to mah face?!
Huger than huge!
Quincey is money on the PP, he’s strong, competitive, good in the locker room, a former cup winner with the wings. I can’t count the many ways that I love this trade. Thankyou Stevie!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at the grocery store this morning, and saw a really slutty looking girl wearing red(Pretty much exactly the shade of the Wings' jerseys)

I take offense with the "guy the Wings cut" somments I've been seeing
Look at the defense on the 08-09 team:
Lidstrom, Rafalski, Kronwall, Stuart, Lilja, Chelios, Lebda, Ericcson, Meech. Quincey. Hindsight, the Wings probably should have kept him over Lebda or Meech but the D on that team was stacked at the end of preseason
Anyways, I think its a pretty good move and some insurance in case Stuart moves to the west coast in the offseason

He was pretty good until he got concussed.

by kylegroombridge on Feb 21, 2012 5:19 PM CST up reply actions
remember they didn't trade Quincey
They tried to get him through waivers so he would be available in Grand Rapids for the inevitable injuries, but the Kings nabbed him. At the time it was hard to see any real difference between him and Meech – neither of them played enough minutes to develop as much at they might have playing more often (which Quincey has with Los Angeles and Colorado).
It’s why I don’t see Detroit trading any D now that they have Quincey. They wanted more depth; no way they deplete it by trading a guy away, when in the playoffs you can go through D very quickly when a couple guys get injuries. You WANT about nine defensemen you can use in the playoffs because you very well might be down three after the first two rounds.

Downie’s not going to resign with them, so they basically lost a 2-4 defenseman for a rental player. True, a late first round pick in this year’s draft might never produce anything (and piche isn’t that great either) but Datsyuk was taken in the 6th round…

He can't.
Custody issues with his oldest, I believe. He can’t just move the family out of state without losing visitation or something, and at least that way they are close to grandparents so there is a lot of family support when he isn’t there.
At least I THINK that is the deal with Stuart’s family. If it was just about the hockey he’d have already signed a contract extension, but his family so far away is really making it difficult for him. I don’t envy the decision he needs to make.

From LeBrun on ESPN
I think he makes a great point:
I think this deal helps them both in the short term and long term. Not only do you always want to add depth on defense, and this case a bona-fide No. 3/No. 4 blueliner in Quincey, but there’s also some protection here moving forward in case either Nicklas Lidstrom and/or Brad Stuart are gone next season. bq.
Just imagine, next year if Lids retires:
Suter – White
Kronwall – Quincey
Ericsson – Smith/Kindl

Wings need some more firepower.
What the Wings need now is a guy that can score. They really need to start putting the puck in the back of the net and stop relying on their third and fourth line guys to make clutch goals. Nothing against those guys on the third and fourth lines but if this team really wants to go far in the playoffs then the guys on the top two lines need to start contributing more. Get a scoring winger or center, just get someone period. I hear Rick Nash is still available, hahaha!
