I think they might have also signed another goalie not sure though..

Wings wavied Zadina again. Looks like he is done in Detroit.

Someone had to go with all the forwards. He had so much promise and does a couple things well. Scoring is not one of them though.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I guess Zadina and his agent asked to be traded. Couldn't find a taker so release.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Looks like we got the Cat. 4 year extension sub 8 AAV. I heard he was asking for 9m 7-8 years. Good job Steve. Not sure who and what we gave up though but great contract.

Finally some good news Red Wings Trade for Alexander DeBrincat !

 

[biggunsbob]

Is this too much to give up ? I do not know ?

Detroit traded forward Dominik Kubalik, defenseman prospect Donovan Sebrango, a conditional 2024 first-round draft pick and the Red Wings? 2024 fourth-round selectio

-31 is bad, right?

Team needs goal scorers for sure and he helps there.

But 3 teams in 2 years raises red flags to me

How so? He was with Chicago for 5 years. They decided to trade him to Ottawa, not his say so.. and he decided he didn't want to play for Ottawa. Simple.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He's one of the good people.

You sure it wasn't Ottawa not wanting to pay him?

Also, he's 25. 25 year old stars don't get traded away twice in a year in their prime.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wish we could have kept Kubalik. He had a really decent season last year and tore it up at the world championships. Don?t think I still wouldn?t do the deal. But Dominic was only 27 years old.

I think he's a free agent in a year. Probably played into it

Yeah I think you are right. I just want some team in Detroit to make the playoffs. Tired of the drought as we all are.

 

[biggunsbob]

We didn?t give up any top prospect so there is that.

He said he wasn't going to sign LT with Ottawa so they wanted to get something for him. Chicago traded him along with others because they were going into rebuild mode.. I'm not sure why its hard for you to understand..
