Thread: Stamkos in Hockeytown
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WingFanBT9</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Redwingsdiehard</b></div><div><i>Why are we parting ways with one of our top prospects here? Mantha is just growing and finally got a solid amount of NHL games under his belt. The wings are all about keeping their young talent and letting them blossom, I don't see them moving mantha at all. Wings will most likely resign Miller And I wouldn't count Radulov out of the loop. Torchetti coached him in the KHL so we have a tie to him. I think the rest of this team is reasonable given the last few off seasons</i></div></div>

I like Mantha too, but lets face it, the Wings are known for underutilizing players. Mantha would be an everyday player on most teams, but Detroit decided to play other guys in front of him for the playoffs (so they could hit the greens earlier). He has high value and if they don't plan to use him, let him go now while the value is high.</i></div></div>

How can you say trade him now while the value is high but we get a 3rd round pick in return lol that is not high value. Getting another high prospect or veteran or a first round pick would be high value

Thread: Playoff team? Yes. Cup Contender? Not likely. Rebuild on the fly? absoluely
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WingFanBT9</b></div><div><i>Is Detroit riding goaltending into the playoffs? This team would easily get swept in the season series with Toronto. You have 4 of 6 Dman who combined have less than 500 career NHL games (half of those belong to Brendan Smith). I hope your D is random here and you don't really think Smith and Marchenko can anchor the first line. Smith has 4 good games a year and if your telling Marchenko he is going to be one of your top 2 defenseman, he's not taking $1M (pay cut from 2015). You have $1M left in CAP, your D looks like the Detroit Tiger Bullpen. Your second forward line is 2 guys with 135 games experienced, anchored by a guy who is running on empty. You took a guy that was just given $4M a year to be a top 6 forward and asked him to be a shut down player now. Your 4th line is awesome, total experience of 37 NHL games. This team would be lucky to score 150 goals in a season. You don't have scoring depth, Your PP/PK are horrible (abdelkader at the point? for what?). Jensen, Smith and Nordstrom on PP2? You have offensive minded defensemen killing powerplays. Your not making the playoffs with an offense that has 8/12 guys with very limited experience and your defense is 3/7 inexperienced. Smith is always a question when he plays, Kronwall is going to crawl through the year and Green has played 70+ games in 6 of his 11 NHL seasons (Injury prone). Don't even get me started on how many goals players had last season that left (90+) and how many goals your filling their places with (60). This team wins maybe 25 games.</i></div></div>
I agree with all of this. This is not the right moves for them at all
