"If only this damn cup weren't in the way!" wait, we're not playing the caption this game in this thread?

Not a ton of impact players in this drying market... I'm not terribly concerned that it's drying up. Vancouver signed our most likely UFA d-man target. Carolina bummed me out too. I guess Wiz is our last UFA hope. Ehrhoff would be a mistake at the money he wants and White's suddenly a journeyman (which may speak to his true value). At this point it's Wiz or a trade as far as I'm concerned. I don't think it'd be a tragedy to give Smith and Kindl a shot at real mins instead of making a panic signing.

@jonesry28 - Ryan Jones - Edmonton - He tweets a lot @JonathanQuick32- Jonathan Quick @ScottieUpshall @grabs40 - Michael Graebner @PKSubban1 @MCammalleri13 @ovi8 @bssmith7 - Brenden Smith @D_Mac25 - Darren McCarty

Unless its a really low-ball offer, he's going to the Pens I'd say...

Reading between the lines in all this, it sounds as if Bylsma wants Jagr but Shero not so much. I think Jagr takes the Pens offer because it has been his #1 choice all along. If he wanted to be a Red Wing then he would have signed by now. He's been holding out for the Pens all along which is fine by me.

The forwards would be fine. The defense would blow. It pretty much comes down to that.

Smith can't be any worse than Salei or Ericsson

I want back!

semin is not cumming to detroit.... hahaha

I hate when purple go 'round sayin' stuff. But yeah, welcome to the boards, but I am sure if you take some more time to look around you will notice that people around here don't miss much, so if there is a topic to be discussed, chances are there is already a seperate thread for it.

Ok for those of you who haven't gotten the Red Wings conspiracy newsletter here's the plan: This summer the Wings sign Stamkos to 8 million dollars a year for 10 years thus sending our next 4 first round draft picks to Tampa Bay. This would be a bad thing if it wasn't for the fact Holland has already planed for this. Next season Lidstrom will retire, in a freak turn of events (and some incriminating pictures taken December at the board of governors meeting by Jiri Hudler with some women he met in Russia and Kevin Lowe. This is why Hudler went to Russia people!) Lowe steps down at the end of next season and Lidstrom coming off of his 5th Stanley Cup and 8th Norris retires. Seeing a job opening in Edmonton he throws his hat in for the job and is hired on site. Edmonton tanks as expected, but, wanting to get assets for the future he and Ken Holland work out a trade. He trades his next 4 first round picks to Detroit for our fourth and fifth rounders, reasoning that because they were Detroit's they must be gold. Thus the Wings get Stamkos, for a pretty fair cap hit and still have first round draft picks every year. Don't tell the rest of the league...

Just wanted to share this since I am just as big of an Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam fan as I am a Wings fan! It was an amazing show by the way! :]

Seriously, it's as if the Hawks hired Tallon to be hired by the Panthers (as if they had any credibility as a franchise to begin with) so they could unload all of their crap contracts and overrated players. f*** you, Tallon.

Having encyclopedic knowledge of players' birthplaces and junior teams does not make one a good commentator. How I envy you Canadians and your incredible "TSN."

Speak for your self (Just kidding I know most Canadians share your view of him, but I'm legitimately saddened by this). Hopefully TSN lazes out a bit this year and just decides to pick up Versus' feed more often than not. Best of luck to you Pierre! You're among the best at what you do and don't let anyone ever convince you otherwise

If it's simply about which city he likes best, I'd pick Montreal too. No offense to Detroit or Pittsburgh, but it's no contest. If it's about being on a Stanley Cup contender, I'd rank them 1. DET 2. PIT 3. MTL .

I'd get that looked at. It can't be good for your upper gastric intestinal tract.

The Hudler hate from some people on LGW has reached a fever pitch. Drury for Hudler because Hudler had one sub par season? Good God.

I would imagine if there were an existing professional baseball team that wanted to join the league, it would have to change its name if there were an issue. New Yorkers love baseball, right? So let's convert the Rags to a baseball team. Maybe turn the Mets into one too.

He mailed it in after the LLWS title.

cant wait for this kid to be wearing the winged wheel.
