Red Wings Acquire David Legwand From Preds

Nice move

I Imagine it would be for a draft pick. Lord knows we need healthy centers.

Welcome home David!

Surprised we made any moves. Thought we were going to have another year of Holland saying, "When we start getting players returning from the IR, it'll be like we're signing free agents..."

Ah, sorry to see Eaves go.

Calle Jankrok is the prospect. Has threatened to go back to Sweden to play in the SEL next season.

Oh and Datsyuk being shut down for 3 weeks, and if his knee isn't better by then, surgery may be possible.

Helm shut down for the next few days with headaches i.e., possible concussion.

It's going to be a miracle if we make the playoffs.

@KenKalDRW
With Datsyuk, Zetterberg & Helm out, the centers are Sheahan, Andersson & Glendening. To make a push for the playoffs IMO you need a veteran

Im very sad to see Eaves leave but Legwand should be a very solid addidtion. The prospect really doesnt worry me at all givin his attitude so good luck to him.

Im really curioous what the asking price for Kessler was but at least he didnt go to the Pens.

Mike Ilitch won't be at the Lidstrom Number Retirement tomorrow:

STATEMENT FROM MIKE ILITCH

The following statement is attributable to Mike Ilitch owner, Detroit Red Wings:

“While Marian and I would love to be there, we won’t be at tomorrow’s jersey retirement for Nick Lidstrom. This past year, I had a medical procedure that has kept me out of the spotlight for awhile. I feel much better now, and I’m stronger every day. While we may not attend every event, we never miss a game on TV and are very involved in all our businesses every day from home and the office.

“We want to congratulate Nick, his wife Annika, and their family on this honor. He’s very deserving and we’re so proud and fortunate to have had him as a part of the Red Wings family for more than 20 years. We thank him with all our hearts.”

#RedWings had interest in Vancouver's Ryan Kesler, but were told they didn't have what it'd take - starting with established no. 2 center.
