LV would NOT have picked up Howard. No way..
He was good for Something like what...25 games last season ?..and then in the end, with a few games left in the season he was his own selft again...bad. !
The league knows Howard true value..KH doesn't !

Well I think its sort of silly mentioning his attitude in the same article mention trying to move him. WTF? You just shot yourself in the foot and devalued the asset.
I wonder if Coreau moved up in the pecking order now that he won cup with GR?

By the way let's not go crazy about GR's win. They won with the vets, not the rookies...except maybe Lil Bert and Schev..
They have a bunch of players very good for AHL caliber...but not so good for NHL.
Remember Pulky...Frk ?..

We have a 8-10 year sample size on Howard being a decent, but average goalie and now after 1 good season (during which he got injured, of course), he is a better goalie?! Mrazek at least showed in the past he can be elite and at the age 25 I would like to see a little more from him before giving up.

Mrazek is a goner, even if he doesn't get picked up..

Rumor says that as many as 12 clubs has agreement with LV so that they don't get a certain player drafted.
The Islanders gave a first round pick to protect some Young players and let LV have Garbovski's contract. The Wild have "protected" Eric Staal and Mathew Dumba. It seems that LV will pick Erik haula instead. A first round pick from Columbus to "protect" Josh Anderson. LV has to take Clarkson's contract.
McPhee has other agreements with Anaheim, Florida, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Tampa.
In the end LV could have as many as 7 or 8 first round picks !!
LV is more interested in picks than most of the teams leftovers.

LV has all sorts of pick trades brewing behind the scenes it seems. I'll just wait for the dust to settle Friday night or early Saturday on what goes down, who goes where and more importantly the picks we take

@craigcustance Hearing Tomas Nosek most likely to be picked by Vegas from Red Wings list. and then to be waived after training camp.. picked up back by the Wings later... Nosek look good last year. Didn't deserve to be on the free list...but Abby is such an important player so...

I'm trying to save this board...i won't work like this for ever...
Jimmy hasn't log in since april 16th ! Unseen before ! If Jimmy loses interest this new board won't last long
We just lost a 4th liner, Nosek..…good for us.
No damage in this draft. Now its time for the Wings to patch things up with Mrazek.
Interesting is the fact that Pulkinnen was picked up too.
Poile GM of the year..
Well worth it !
I’m happy for Torts…i hate his guts but he deserves it.

There's just not a lot of enthusiasm for the Wings right now, Pierre. You reflect on the emotion, drama and success of the team over the last 25 years and that's just unbeatable. Everyone here can probably remember where they were when such and such game happened. I don't think there's ever been a "blood feud" in any sport like there was with us and the Ave's.
So don't put it on your shoulders too much. The real fans will still come here, me you, Shawn, V and the rest. Here's the one true caveat, my friend, we have no where to go but up.
