You may want to put your comments into perspective... He's never played on a truly good team (career) and as for a bad start with the Devils this year, just look at that team as a whole early on and you'll be able to figure out where you went wrong in your analysis.

I live in Toronto and unfortunately see a lot of Leaf games. I absolutely love Nik Kulemin. I even really like Gustavsson (at times) but holy s***, what an over payment that would be. I do believe that both of those players have great potential (Kulemin more than Gustavsson) but it's jut way too pricey. Gustavsson has medical issues and has not shown he can be a consistent starter in this league. Even when he has played well his level of play hasn't been that great yet. Kulemin is showing he can score which is great. But Hudler showed he can score as well. Eaves brings a hell of a lot to a team and if got more ice time his numbers would be higher than they even are right now. Then on top of that you want to toss in a 1st and a 3rd or 4th. I just don't buy it.

I pity the Mule! esteef

Get Craig Anderson from Ottawa and pretty much send him with the Cup...

Agreed. Trading picks doesn't concern me so much since the Wings are great at finding gems late-round.

yes, he had a HORRIBLE start, but more than a quarter of the season since - look at the numbers: Over the last 22 games: 22GP 5G 14A 19P +5 Some people will continue to hate him, but as was touched on in last nights telecast, Cleary, Datsyuk and Hudler have developed some amazing chemistry and that pass last night to Dats was pure beauty... Hate all you want, but it's really starting to look like the guy just needed to get back up to NHL speed, and he has been one of our best players over the last 20+ games...

That is really awesome, I'm looking at getting a #43 jersey

Goligoski is pretty good. I think a lot of people a underrating him on this deal. I still think Shero got the better of it, but I don't believe it's as one-sided as everyone says. Neal is young and good, but he was producing with top players(Richards and Ericsson) and on the PP so who knows.

Having Conks back would be amaaaaaaaaaaaazing. I was really disappointed when we didn't resign him.

The day I heard about the surgery, I said I thought Osgood's career was over and my opinion hasn't changed - I think this is just another case of the Wings brass being smart and knowing that if they make it obvious they have a need, then they need to overpay... instead, they have Osgood play along and pretend he's coming back, even though they know he's not and he knows he's not and then they can make a quiet, under the radar move that won't cost us a ton and bring in a serviceable back-up, then Osgood announces his retirement in the off-season. EDIT - plus, if he retires now, we get hit with his caphit and no roster player, whereas if we LTIR him for the season, we get cap relief for him and can exceed the cap by his value, while freeing up the roster spot... seems to me like Osgood is just "taking one for the team" like the great team guy he has been his whole career

There is plenty to criticize Bettman on. This instance I feel is a major stretch. He's actually trying to help the Oilers, he's saying the same things he's said about the Islanders situation, he's not being any "harder" on Canadian teams, and to think that as a conspiracy is just, I don't know, not right? His job is to represent the owners, so of course he's going to battle for the "poor", if he wasn't good at his job he wouldn't be in his position for almost 20 years.

The world needs more Bill Davidsons. Detroit can't or won't do what's needed for the Pistons so he just says "f*** it, I'll build my own arena in Auburn Hills." No taxpayers money, no bonds, just his cash. Opened in 88' and is still a great place to watch an event.

He better play.....there's a bus load of fans coming down from St.Andrews & Winnipeg down to Minneapolis to watch him play.....theres a lotta love for this kid in our local area....the signs saying " Home of Darren Helm 2008 Stanley Cup Winner" are still up on every major road leading into the St.Andrews municipality!!

Sooo he's a stalker, an alcoholic, and a dirty player on the ice. I don't care what excuses he has to act like that because it shouldn't have to be anyone else's problem. f*** this guy.

herp derp The Red Wings aren't sellers. They don't need to unload young offensive forwards before the playoffs.

Maybe a depth defenseman is all I see as a skater need. Modano coming back and having Datsyuk, Filppula, Cleary and others having some time off this regular season I see no need for panic. Like I said, maybe a 6-7-8 defenseman on the cheap. That being said, the goaltending sticks in my craw. I have no problem with Jimmy. He'll either get it done or he won't. I worry about Ozzie's groin/hernia surgery nagging issues if Howard falters ala Hasek in 2008

I am glad. Maybe next year (if he isn't traded) he will actually earn his money. Of course then he'll probably want even more to re-sign. I hope he finishes strong and has huge trade potential in the off season... Not hating, just saying...

No! OTHER teams need to be involved. I was against a 2nd for the Pens for this reason, and I am against a 2nd one for the Wings for the same reason.

No trades unless Ozzie has a setback in his rehabilitation. Sounds par for the course. No addition really needed anyway.

Pulkkinen scored yesterday his 16th goal of the season in 5-2 loss against JYP. http://www.nelonen.fi/ohjelmat/sm-liiga/etusivu?vt=video&vid=128030 Pulk's goal at 1:25. His stats so far: 46gp 16g 26a 42p 14pim +15 10pp 3gw 207s 16:20 TOI/G He leads rookie scoring and is 8th in overall scoring.

If I were visiting another hockey board and found a Red Wings discussion about a Detroit player with a problem, followed by some of these posts, I'd figure I were at a St. Louis Blues forum. Shameful some of the things said here. No one hates Jordin Tootoo the player more than this guy, but I wish him nothing less than a speedy and full recovery. This is just hockey, people.

I hate Tootoo, but I feel bad for him and his fmaily, hopefully he cleans up and doesn't relapse. Drugs killed our Probie too soon, i'd hate to see it happen to another hockey player down the road.

Goal scoring FIVE. The Todd likes.
