I had gotten an e-mail about this from someone, so I figured I'd respond on here, too. It has been thrown out there on the website, www.hockeybuzz.com, that Marty Turco is being traded for Martin St. Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Turco, by the way, has a no-trade clause in his contract.
Co-GM Les Jackson's response: "We are not trying to trade Marty Turco. He's a big part of our team. I think people who put rumors out there just want me to respond to it. It's a waste of time because it's just rumor."
Anyway, just wanted to respond to the masses on it since it's out there. Thoughts?
I like the trade. Turco and a draft pick for St Louis and Holmqvist. I think Smith would step it up knowing he's the number one guy. Getting Lehtinen and Jokinen back, I like their chances. I don't know if anyone is getting by the Wings but I like our chances a lot more with St Louis.
