Open Thread: Happy Trade Deadline Day!

If December 25 is Christmas where family and friends exchange gifts in a calm, loving environment, then the Trade Deadline (this year, February 27) is like a Turkish bazaar where sellers scream at passersby in an attempt to peddle their unwanted wares.
I've never been to one of these places, but I imagine that phone calls made today sound about the same: guys trying to sell things by yelling and screaming about how good they are until the buyer simply gives up trying to resist and throws money at the seller to make them stop.
We've seen it already as Columbus was able to rid themselves of Jeff Carter and Minnesota somehow got another team to voluntarily desire Marek Zidlicky, but plenty of questions remain.
For us, the biggest thing we're watching is whether the Wings are going to make a move. Ken Holland was able to re-acquire Kyle Quincey last week for a first round draft pick, but he said that he wouldn't mind getting some size up front. Jonathan Ericsson is out for the next month with a chipped bone in his wrist, but the Wings have confirmed they are set on defense and in net, so any players brought in will be forwards.
The Wings aren't the only team that may be active today. The biggest story will be whether the Blue Jackets finally deal Rick Nash, or if the price is too high and other teams just tweak their lineups. History has shown that teams that make big splashes and bring in superstars don't always reap the benefits.
Detroit should be paying attention to the teams in their own division. Chicago is in freefall mode right now, losing their second straight game and now only sit 5 points ahead of 9th place Los Angeles and Colorado. They've had problems keeping the puck out of their net all year, and they may be looking for defense or goaltending. St Louis traded their AHL goalie Ben Bishop to Ottawa for a draft pick, a smart move considering they weren't re-signing him after the emergence of Brian Elliott. They may be done, as they don't seem to need any help. Nashville is playing well, but they've got a lot of uncertainty around Ryan Suter and Shea Weber and need to somehow "prove" they're building a winner.
Plenty of other teams are trying to figure out what they need in order to prevent further descent in the standings. San Jose has lost the Pacific division lead to Phoenix and are only 3 points ahead of LA. Toronto has fallen to 10th in the East after holding a playoff spot for most of the season. Washington is just God-awful and if they don't win their craptacular division, they'll likely miss the playoffs.
I think we're going to see a lot of minor moves that give contenders some depth and make fringe teams a little better, but no big splashes. Coverage starts bright and early, and we'll be here all day breaking down trades and making fun of the bad teams.

I thought hungry guys help win Championships? Sure seems to me like an old guy with some skill wouldn’t be a bad piece to have. Not saying to go for it, just saying it fits into Holland’s mindset of skill over age.

Prediction:
I think Chicago will move to get Roman Hamrlik from Washington. He & Hunter don’t get along and Chicago needs defensive depth.
Also, Hamrlik and Hjalmarsson on the same team is perhaps too perfect.

I hope Holland gets a top 6, but that will likely happen this offseason. If thats the asking price for Gaustad forget it.
Hopefully they do something awesome.

I agree with that
I think the wings are obviously competitive enough to compete for the cup. A top six guy would heavily favor them but if they give up too much, its not really worth it as they will already be in great position.
DETROIT RED WINGS – "war were declared"
Twitter - @TheIngles22
Apparently all the talk on Twitter so far today is about Washington
Mark Spector makes a good point:
Placing Nik Backstrom on LTIR opens up some #Caps space. McPhee should be shopping in Dallas. Caps need more guts.
I wonder what Washington might offer to get Mike Ribeiro? No idea why Dallas would also be selling off assets at center, but that’s the Caps’ biggest need.

Per LeBrun, Detroit and Boston are in talks for Gaustad and Pahlsson
Call me Josh — Former WIIM Writer and lover of all things NHL
Not so sure about Gaustad
Reports are that the Sabres want a 1st round pick for him, which is a terrible price and something the Wings don’t own this year.
Pahlsson I could see.
I was just about to post this. We already gave up a first for Quincey (and thank god we did, now that Ericsson is out), I’m not so sure giving up another would be wise

Wouldn't mind this
As long as we don’t re-sign him. His numbers are a bit inflated from playing with Tavares on the power play. But again, as an under-the-radar guy, he isn’t that bad of an option.

Way to ruin it with ~5.5 hours left
Winging It In Motown, Over the Monster, Liberty Ballers, and Buffalo Rumblings!
Minor moves are usually the ones that work out the best
See: Murphy (1997), Macoun (1998)
When the Wings brought in Wendel Clark, Matt Schneider, Chelios and other big names they never won the Cup that season.
I’m 102% on board with making the 4th line better. Think about…Wings could field lines of 44-13-93, 51-40-26, 8-43-20, 11-New Player via Trade-96.
That’s depth, son!

So you'd rather see them blow it up for a Nash type?
So lost Filppula and/or Franzen, Jurco, Smith, and future 1st for a stud? (Not saying that would be a package for Nash…just throwing names out there).
Look at the last four Cup winners…they were all crazy deep with four lines. I’d rather have the depth than top heavy with 2 lines and not much else.

Was sarcastically playing the role of the star-loving fan
Although I would love to acquire a Dunbinsky/JVR/Ruutu-type if we can. It’s definitely a pipe-dream, for the reasons you mentioned. Holland isn’t one to pay that much to wreck what we’ve got. But if we could find someone like that who could be had for a bargain, it would really go a long way towards a deep playoff run.
A depth forward with size would definitely help, too. It’s debatable how much more one would mean to this team than the other.

LeBrun, McKenzie, and Dreger seem to think otherwise. All three have reported we’re in talks for fairly big name (top 6 F on most teams)

What happens if we DO get a top 6 forward?
I’m assuming one of our wingers(Bert, Cleary, Mule, Happy) would have to get moved for it to make any sense. If only because I doubt Babbles breaks up that 3rd line anytime soon, and a fourth of Homer and Bert on the wings seems pretty terrible IMO.

Someone explain to me again?!
Why exactly would we want Gustad? Grit? Size? Looking at his numbers, he definitely ain’t a goal scorer
Grit/size/PKing
Gaustad is an update over Emmerton in every way. Plus, if he’s really good at PKing, it’s possible that he opens up more ice time for offensive play by our top line guys (who have been playing more PK as of late).
by J.J. from Kansas on Feb 27, 2012 9:31 AM CST up reply actions
makes sense
I’ve often wondered why Emmerton has played so many games this season. He hasn’t sucked, but he also has not been very impressive (even for a 4th line center)
I consider trading Emmerton a win for today
Even if its for nothing.
by eight_legged_freaks on Feb 27, 2012 9:34 AM CST via Android app up reply actions
I disagree
I think Emmerton is a play maker but he doesn’t have anyone to make plays to. He skates with Homer. I think if he skated with a Hudler and Eaves his assist total would easily double. Besides, he’s still pretty young. The problem is that he’s a skill player playing on a line that you really just want grit and toughness from and as said above, he doesn’t provide PK so Dats and Z have had to play on the PK. By installing Gaustad on the PK, it will lower Dats and Z’s PK minutes keeping them fresh so that they can skate more shifts on the PP or at even strength.

That's not surprising
NSH hasn’t really gotten a true impact forward through the draft in a long while. They can draft quality D like no other but who is the last real quality scoring/top-6 forward they’ve drafted? Hornqvist? Maybe Colin Wilson? Erat?
I’m not trying to bag on them, but they’ve not had much luck in that respect.

I really think it’s opening a spot for a depth player to be called up from GRR. Say Tatar/Smith (if needed)/perhaps Nyquist. Not really thinking another move. Commie needed(? wanted?) out so he could play more.
Or we can be just blown away in about 1.5 hours. Your move Mr. Holland!

I don’t think the next move will be a trade. I think it will be a guy coming up from GR.

this is part of something bigger. We had 8 D going into the playoffs. That sounds like a logjam to me. It’s clearing room for a guy like Nyquist or Tatar to come up for the rest of the season IMO.

In all honesty
they might be doing that. Whether or not it works is another matter.
Have you ever heard of a team trading for a player who played college puck with another player, on the off chance that he could help woo that player to a rather unattractive free agent landing spot?

He thinks it's HAM like the food.
Helm was asked today whether there had been any talk of a line name. He’d heard “HAM” thrown around, but vehemently objects. “I don’t like ham,” he said. “I just don’t like the taste. And it looks like skin. We can do better.”
It has two meanings
the second being an acronym for “hard as a m-f”

Franzen will not be moved. His cap hit is nice and low. He’s still our leading scorer.
by shanny14 on Feb 27, 2012 1:11 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
He's also a lazy bum most of the time
And though Semin’s been incredibly inconsistent as well, his ceiling (imo) is much higher than Mule’s. Put him on a line with Pav and Bert and I think he can easily revert back to his 80-90 point pace.
He makes 6 million or so right now, but I reckon he’ll be willing to sign with us long term (2-3 years) for around 5 or so.

Based on what?
by J.J. from Kansas on Feb 27, 2012 1:20 PM CST up reply actions
For a couple of reasons
His market value is lower than it was when he signed that deal due to some injuries, motivation issues, and inconsistent play. With guys like Lidstrom, Hank, and Pav in the dressing room, I don’t think motivation will be any issue (not to mention the death stare).
He doesn’t come off as a “money first” sort of guy – he needs a change of scenery badly and a system like Detroit’s is a perfect fit for him. He’s fast, has a great shot, and good puck handling. I’m not too sure about his defensive play, but then again Bertuzzi’s defensive play wasn’t that great when he got here either and has steadily improved.
I think if he ends up fitting well in the system where he can compete at a high level, he’d sign for a million or two less to stay and have a chance at a cup.
I'd like if you were right
All things considered, I don’t think it would take trading away Franzen & picks to make it happen.

Franzen has those three players in the dressing room yet you explicitly said he has a motivation issue. How does Parise change things?
by shanny14 on Feb 27, 2012 1:34 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
The Wings probably won't pay the amount that Parise wants
And it comes down to the individual player. Franzen’s shown that he doesn’t care to try during the regular season, but Semin’s stuck in a rut in Washington. A chance of scenery and a better team would do him wonders
whoops thought you said Parise
Semin is an even bigger no thanks
by shanny14 on Feb 27, 2012 1:39 PM CST via iPhone app up reply actions
Franzens cap hit is what? 3.4? Parise will ask for twice that, and there’s GMs who would pay more

Chicago needs help with goaltending
Not defense. Though good defense helps out a lackluster goaltending situation, Crawford and Emery have both been pretty bad this year
Two ways to give up fewer goals
A) increase your save percentage
B) decrease your shots against.
by J.J. from Kansas on Feb 27, 2012 1:15 PM CST up reply actions
Chicago is 16th in the league in shots allowed
But 26th in the league in save percentage. I think that points to poor goalie play more so than allowing too many shots. Opposing team is eventually gonna get good quality scoring chances and they need a guy they can rely on
Right
but if there’s not a good price for a goalie you want, then you do what you can.

Wait, when did getting a 45 point player and a 3rd/4th line Pker make Nashville suddenly the best team in the central?
Because they’re defense is so damn good. Also… Barry Trotz is magic

I understand that, but
You need to plan for long term in the league. Chicago planned for the short term and it did pay off, but look at them now – in a dog fight just to be able to make the playoffs
Expect nothing from Jets, Wings, Preds, Caps, Flyers, Jackets, or Sabres to come. Their GMs have all said they made no more than has been reported

Nashville wins today!
Detriot get less tough and less deep on defense. Looking at San Jose, Nashville, and even Vacouver, the Wings are looking small, and old going in to the playoffs. Today sucks!!!
dont we look like that every year?
and still end up doing excellent. i’m not too down on the lack of movement.
it's not excellent
but it’s wayyyyyy better than most of the other nhl teams. i think we shoot for at least a WCF honestly… 12 in 12 is the ultimate goal, but realistically we can’t win every year.

I'm surprised
that Holland shipped out Commodore, and added no one? we’re well past the deadline now right?
Assuming that’s the case I think we can count on seeing Smith in Detroit soon.
Smith has been called up
With Quincy and shitbox hurt, he is in with Kindl tomorrow
Lidstrom also hurt
Quincey is doubtful and Lidstrom likely for tomorrow. Janik may be called up as well. Either way, this is likely the beginning of the Smith era in Detroit

I wonder what fell through?
that’s the only reason I would think that Holland would ship Commodore out. Unless it was a locker-room thing and he was messing up the vibe.
NHL GM's apparently dont trade with Holland anymore.
All future trades must go through Stevie Y

Holland said with Smith and Kindle, Commodore wasn’t going to get much plating time (much like he hasn’t so far) and to expect him to not play, then come in mid playoffs and make a difference it unrealistic. Commodore said he would go or stay, but he really wanted to be able to play, and he wasn’t going to get that in Detroit. Also the previously mentioned “thank you” to Yzerman

Everyone got better and we traded away depth
Say what you want about us being in first place, but in no way were we far and away the best team in the league.
Now? I don’t think the Wings are deep enough or talented enough to go deep in the playoffa which means wasted Lidstrom.
by eight_legged_freaks on Feb 27, 2012 2:46 PM CST via Android app up reply actions
My guess
is that since Quincey can play big minutes… he’ll play more than Lids will. Dude played 23 minutes the other night. That’ll help keep Lids fresh for when the time comes. It’s not perfect, but what is. I, personally, think we have players in GR that are primed for the NHL. I’m not going to kill myself because we didn’t make a move today. We’re still deep… our D is still good. If we would have won the past 3, would you still be this worried or would you say Holland knows what he’s doing?

I think I've been pretty consistent with my beef this year
I’ve been very critical of this team’s lack of elote scoring, too many grinders, etc. i was hoping to see KH address these this year at the deadline and Quincey just doesn’t do anything for me when you turn around and trade depth.
That plus sitting around and again watching the Sharks and Blackhawks and Canucks load up while we stand pat really makes me think this is another second round team.
My thoughts. I’ll vocalize it better when I have more time.

I'm not jazzed about today either
But I’d hardly qualify what the Blackhawks and Sharks did as “loading up”. The Canucks got better, as did Nashville, but the Wings are right there with them.
Once all is said and done, the Wings are still one of the 3 best teams in the West.
My beef this year
is that we need more consistent scoring. The top 2 lines rely on Dats and Z so heavily that when they are off, the whole line is.
I don’t know what the wings should have traded away, they already sent thier 1st pick out this year, and no one was going to take the wing’s 2nd pick for anything decent. And I doubt that Holland would send out the 1st of next year already, and I would probably prefer he didn’t.
So that leaves roster players, who could we have traded away to actually get something useful?
to be fair
our 2nd round pick usually isn’t too far from our first round pick

I usually don't read comments other places besides WIIM
they irritate me and make me so frustrated that it’s not worth it. IF Mule was put on the 3’d line as a message (and not just a routine practice line juggle that Babs likes to do) then I say good. I don’t hate him, but I also don’t think he should be exempt from the reasonable expectations, and if he’s not putting forth the effort, then he should be demoted until he’s ready to work his butt off.
