Kasparitis to Detroit....???

Read this in the Detroit News this morning:

Regardless of whether Uwe Krupp returns from a rotator cuff injury, the Wings are going to need a physical, experienced defenseman to complete what could be a formidable team for the playoffs.
Penguins defenseman Darius Kasparaitis could be that sort of player. In fact, The Sun newspaper in Toronto reported over the weekend that the Wings might offer right wing Darren McCarty to the Penguins for Kasparaitis.
Wings General Manager Ken Holland does not comment on trade rumors.
The Penguins certainly will entertain trade talk regarding Kasparaitis, who will be an unrestricted free agent July 1.
Kasparaitis, although not big, is capable of putting fear into the opposition because of his reputation for nasty hits. As the March 19 trade deadline approaches, his price will increase. Stories in the Pittsburgh press suggest the Penguins would want two players in return.

I really do not want to see Kasparitis go, but it is almost a given that he will be traded, considering the way the Pens structured this 1 year deal he has.

If they do trade him, I think they need to get a scorer back... and I can't remember the last time I said that about my Pens

I would love to see Kasparitis part of Detroit. Ever since we lost Vladdy, we really don't have anybody would can stand people up at the blue line like he did. He was definetly the best at it.

I just hope this gets McCarty drinking again so he can start scoring goals. Who wants a sober 20 goal man over 40 goal scoring lush?

Drink up bud!
