While Pav, Hank & Kronner are great, Detroit simply does not have the collection of skilled assets that other players drool over playing with. The cap has made it difficult, but Kenny's philosophy has made it tougher. He has waited three years too long to address his team's needs. Now we are almost the new Calgary Flames. I hope Jimmy D & Mr. I don't take three years to address the GM issies.

The sheer thought of Jody Shelley on your side is enough to draw most free agents to Philly.

Ryan Callahan of the NY Rangers...great work ethic, blocks shots, hits, scores, and lays it all on the line every night

I'm feeling the same way. I don't like Doan much after last years playoffs, but I know he's a talented player, competes hard, and would bring a physical edge to the Wings. He'd make the team better for sure. But as a 35 year old forward, he wouldn't really be a major, lasting improvement to the Wings. And because he's a 35 yr old, if he leaves Phoenix honestly I see him moving to some team that at least on paper looks to be a serious Cup contender for the next couple seasons. That isn't the Wings.

He'd have to actually shoot the puck to have a chance of missing the net

That would be a bad trade. If Flip and Nyquist are going anywhere it will be fore Bobby Ryan. Yandle isn't worth that.

Miguel Cabrera. Edit: in all seriousness, that's a tough question. I honestly don't know if I have one at this point. There have been players that I've enjoyed outside of the Wings but they always seem to turn out to be assholes, whiners, or political martyrs.

Dan Girardi.

When Dallas falls out of the playoff race by February maybe Kenny can trade for him.

I'd like to see Hannan be the #7 guy. Could likely get him dirt cheap for 1 year.

I think you are right. I don't think Kenny would extend an offer to a RFA. He hasn't had to in the past. He has had lots of assets & assets wanted to come here. We aren't stacked enough to be attractive in the same way. It's a new day for Kenny Holland. He better strike a new ballance between being respectful of other GM's & improving his team. If Kenny Holland was viewed as a rock star today he should be seen as Pat Boone. Who wants to go see Pat Boone? Nobody! Hell, how many people even know who he is?

Stevie needs to trade Vinnie

Gap year. We're building from within, not with overpaid FA's. Our prospect wave will be rolling through in the next 3 to 4 years. We won't be able to pay them reasonable contracts then if we overpay for FA's now.

That is not how Philly works. If there is a big name available then Philly is always in on it. It's always been that way. It always will be.

The Preds just slammed Weber's head into the glass. Love it.

So I guess the Preds owner DID have the money. esteef

Darren Helm would have Gretzky-like numbers if he ever hit the net. Just sayin.

Kronwall-White Smith-Quincey Ericsson-Lilja Kindl Coming to a rink near you.

Mule tries to pick the corners too much and misses the net because of it. Logo Hunter knows no other way to shoot the puck. Together they form the dynamic duo named...The Net Nazis...NO NET FOR YOU!

Night Nurse - Gregory Isaacs

Hudler, Franzen, Lang, Sammy....

People need to focus on the content of the post, and not the person posting it. If you don't have anything to add other than a smartass comment, move on and don't post in the thread. I'm tired of the posts where people are mocking some of the previous overreactions here about free agency. While some people may be overreacting to the state of the Wings, it's at least an honest attempt to discuss the situation. The mocking posts are simply trolling and make the situation even worse. Stay on topic or people will be getting vacations.
