Kronwall is damn good bargain I decided.

The only "menacing presence" left in Chicago now is Oprah.

If Jason Williams was once an all-star and consistent ppg, a still defensively responsible forward who puts up .5 ppg, and a great leader then yeah.

This posted on NHL.com about an hour ago... http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=533523 Is it wrong that I'm enjoying this?

Some very strange signings today. Pittsburgh spends $9M on defense, yet their best winger is Kunitz with his 32 points. I know Crosby and Malkin are good, but they're certainly not Lemieux-esque (capable of making 50 goal scorers out of average players). I would've thought they'd sign a defenseman to replace Gonchar as well as a decent winger (Frolov, Kariya, Whitney) capable of generating at least SOME offense. Also, Yzerman had a very strong day. He got rid of a pretty bad contract, resigned a franchise centerpiece, picked up a good goalie at a terrific price, and still has $25M in cap space. Worst signing of the day has to be Boogaard. $1.6M for four years for a player who hasn't scored a goal since the 2005-2006 season, averages just over 5 minutes a night, and has yet to play a full NHL season. Oh, and he only has 18 fighting majors in the last two years. Ouch!

You posted lines... and didn't make a new thread to do so...

And this, my friend, has been your best post of the day. So far than well said. Stuie gets overlooked all the time.

Whatever we disagree with on other topics this will always be one of my favorite post you have ever made, I refrain from making this statement here because usually people point out one or two bad plays. It is like after losing to ANA in the WCF and making a compliment about Lilja, you got hosed for it! Stuart has been imo one of KH's best acquisitions, without a doubt!

Stuart never gets the recognition he deserves on this team. He has been incredibly solid since we signed him

If Modano signs with the Wings, I think this year's team would be on a mission to win the Cup just for him.

No, I'm just your typical Romanian pervert. I would never pretend to be Paul Kariya...because lets face it, Asians have small penises!!! Like I said before a "past his prime" Paul Kariya is still better than half the free agents out there today.

That is it, eh? Well quite a climactic ending to the night in the chatroom. The fact I let the troll be fed an enormous amount is my bad, mods. Either way Go Wings, and hopefully this month we get something done Proud to be from the Metro-Detroit area.

And don't forget they're not going to be drafting as high anymore either. This could get interesting.

It was confirmed by Hedberg's agent.

Simon Gagne.....and probably Carcillo.

Granted, Yzerman is from way before I became a Wings fan, but I've learned enough to cheer for Yzerman. Looks like I need to add another team to the ones I regularly watch. Where will it end? I must have seen 150 games last year and I've only been a fan for two years. Maybe a bandwagon-fan, but a friend convinced me to watch the 08-09 playoffs because I had a better internet connection and television than him. I knew little about The Wings until then, even though I'm Swedish. If you ever needed to try and convince somebody that they needed to, not only watch the NHL, but a specific team in particular, could you choose a better time than The Red Wings and the playoffs 08-09? Well, yeah, with Detroit you probably could chose from quite a few times. Rant over.

God, yes. Please. Do want.

Why has noone mentioned Paul Kariya yet? TSN has Dominic Moore on their list of UFA's but noone has said a thing about Kariya. I realize Kariya is past his prime, but I'm sorry...Paul Kariya at his worst is better than Dominic Moore at his best.

Can I sue the NHL for not giving me the job of commissioner that I sent in resumes for 10 times?

He never recovered, confidence wise, after getting caught in the Volchenkov tracks early in the season. Played scared the rest of the way.

I'm glad the Leafs were able to get a top-six forward without moving Kaberle. Still have that chip to play.

Don't know what to think of this one. Leafs gave up some intriguing prospects (except for Paradis - he's not much) but get back somebody with Cup experience and some talent to boot in Versteeg. I don't know a damn thing about Sweatt.

Price is overrated. The Habs will regret this.
