pville is the one who despises Kenny Holland. I just sort of figured the team was due for a downturn at some point after never really drafting high for decades. Anyway, hopefully they can work through the contract mumbo jumbo and get Stevie in here. I miss the days when the Wings could just pay for a superstar team.

the atlantic is garbage enough that I feel like you all should compete for a wild card in the east.

top 3 atlantic doesn't seem likely, but the bernier and vanek acquisitions along with your ageless Swedes , Larkin , Athanasiou, Nyquist should keep you all competitive.

Blue Line is a bit suspect outside of the top pairing which really isn't that great to begin with


I bet on and watched a lot of red wings games last year for some reason.

Zetterberg most likely won't play this season unless we're firmly in the playoff picture after the all-star break, Franzen is done, Kronwall is in a nose dive.

Even the top pairing is pretty bad. Would any of our defenders be the #2 guy for any other team? Maybe Green, but he'd have to be paired with a strong defender.

Nyqvist is likely to get traded before the end of the season, maybe AA as well.

I was thinking about it watching MNF.

Currently all Detroit teams are shite.

The only good thing about all these shitty contracts that Holland gave out, is that they all expire in the next 1-2 years. Whoever the GM is will have nearly a clean slate to work with.

Nielsen has 4 years, $5.252m, MNTC/NMC
Abdelkader has 5 years, $4.25m, NTC
Ericsson has 2 years, $4.25m, MNTC
Zetterberg is pretty much done, but has 3 years, $6.083m.

I like Helm as a 3rd or 4th line guy, but at 3 years, $3.85m?

NTCs, NTCs everywhere.

Holland is the Oprah of NTCs.

What for as much shite as I give Holland for getting us into this cap hell, I actually think he has done a decent job over the last year.

Last call for fantasy hockey - only a couple of spots left. Camps open up this weekend and 3 weeks from start of the season. Go to the fantasy board for my thread there , invites go out this weekend.

Surprised you have not come in here today to post that Tatar and Suzuki were denied work visas for Canada because Bergy forgot to file the paperwork. Even though Suzuki is an Ontario resident, Quebec decides he needs a work visa.

SIAP but here's the NHL futures for the Conference and Stanley Cup championships. The Winnipeg Jets are current favorites at 4/1 to win the West and 7/1 to win the Cup. Both Stanley Cup finalists from last season are currently 12/1. LINK

Seguin is staying in Dallas for a long time. 8 years/9.85 mil a year

Damn good deal for Dallas as it's just above what Benn got but I think he would've gotten a lot more on the market
