One trade I'd love to see tonight: Pierre McGuire to any other sport.

feaster is a complete idiot. how he still has a job is incredible. only howsen is dumber great move by buffalo.... that is how its done.

i hate my life. if i had a time machine id travel back to 97 thru 2002 and cycle it for my existence.

THIS. This inactivity is why I'm scared we won't get much in free agency. not to mention players take note of whether a team is on the rise and are getting better. we can't rely on reputation to get ufas.

I love McPhee saying "Thank you Pittsburgh" as they boo him. This is exactly right. Trade players while they still have value and get value back for them. Reload before you NEED to reload. Now they have tons of great young talent. And Jagr.

The guy played on out top pairing last year, We just lost two of our top four, And he blocks shots with his face. I wouldnt be up for trading that away right now.

White is a known commodity, where as Schultz has yet to play an NHL game. I don't think it would be a very smart move on Kenny's part to weaken even more, an already weak defense, just to pander to some snot nosed kid who demands that he starts for an NHL team. You earn your spot with your play in Detroit. If you don't want to buy into the system, there is not much of a future for you as a player here. This, of course, is just my opinion.

can't afford to lose another dman unless its an upgrade coming back. id rather trade quincey tbh.

Agreed. I'm sure management knew it, but maybe didn't compensate for it as quickly as they could have. The Wings used to get around their lack of size through skill and puck possession. But the last couple seasons they haven't had the level of talent necessary to play the skill game at as high of a level, but they lacked the size and system to play other ways. So they sometimes were in no mans land.

I'm assuming he has his reasons for sitting out. Being a goalie was my first career wish, so I can't imagine not wanting to do it. On the other hand, anything can get old or burdensome if there are other things in your life that need attention. I totally respect someone walking away from the game for their own personal reasons, but the whole messing with the team regarding cap hit makes no sense to me. You'd think that if he's worried about the global economic collapse, he'd work at that pay rate and put it aside for the fiscal armageddon that people are foretelling. The leaving the game is his call, and his call alone, but as far as the contract goes, there may be no "I" in "team", but there's sure one in "Tim".

Switching to NHL Network everyone...

I just don't get it. So many needs and cap space and alleged urgency and.....nothing.

We need wingers much more than centres imo, Datsyuk/Zetterberg/Flippula/Helm is about as good of centre depth as you need. Franzen/Bertuzzi/Cleary/Hudler is not good enough winger depth.

YEP!!!!! I agree!!!!! Bobby Ryan on trade talks: "At this point, I don't care. Move me" http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/eye-on-hockey/19405284/bobby-ryan-on-trade-talks-at-this-point-i-dont-care-move-me

I knew you'd be right along behind me with the 3 or 4 times he's mixed it up or hit someone in the last 6 years. The McArthur "Highlight" is a SHOULDER CHECK. And Samuelsson of all people comes in to save him.The Engelland hit is self defense! He was gonna get hit and put his arm up and got lucky. Even the announcer says "Filppula hit by Engelland"... You are actually helping me make my case, thank you.

It's pretty comical how many people think unproven players and rookies can walk into Hudler's spot and put 25+25 up.

This kinda makes up for not having a 1st rounder in the up coming draft. Hope it's all true.

The guy the Wings really need to jump on is Yandle. Spector's Hockey is reporting that Yandle is on the trading block right now. That kid can flat out play (offensively and defensively). He's a young defenseman who could win a Norris one day.

I'm pumped. Already had honeymoon planed october 13 through 20th in niagara falls. Now I get to go to an away game in buffalo during that time. Best thing is the bride to be is just as excited as me

Now lets hope we get to watch these all and on time

Mobile version looking good too. Nice work Matt! esteef

You mean Franzen, right?

Dang, my guesses on the 3 F's that he wanted to reconnect with were fanaticism, fear mongering, and Fox News.

The funny thing here is that it's a two way street on both side's....However he should have learned from the Dixie Chicks if you ask me....

Well, since this is NHL12, this should do: 1st round pick in 2017 draft 2nd round pick in 2022 draft Hudler Emmerton Conklin Bag of Chips Two pucks Some daffodils and a hug.
