HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! Greg Wyshynski ‏@wyshynski7m What I know in my 30 years as a Devils fan: When strange sh|t happens, there's a reason they call him Loophole Lou.

Here are my bold predictions; Alfredsson scores 30 goals playing with Datsyuk/Zetterberg. Dekeyser takes a step back - he starts to actually look like a rookie. Smith steps up and becomes an actual 2-3 d-man, and he scores 40 points. Kindl scores 10 power play goals. and, The Red Wings win the Stanley Cup. There's something about this team when they acquire a vet who hasn't won a cup yet (I mean a real vet, not Hossa). They stepped up in 2008 when they wanted to get Drake a Cup, I think that the desire to get Alfie a Cup along with the play of these younger guys could be the recipe for success! Either way, should be an exciting season.

From The Hockey News: A little too convenient for all involved... http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/52816-Kovalchuk-retirement-a-little-too-convenient-for-all-involved.html Pretty much my first thoughts when the news came down.

NY Islanders - Tavares, no-brainer Dallas - Benn, also a no-brainer Ottawa - Karlsson would be my pick, but wouldn't be surprised if it is Spezza Buffalo - Ville Leino (j/k probably Stafford or Ehrhoff) Columbus - JMFJ or Dubinsky Calgary - Giordano Tampa - St. Louis, with Stamkos being the obvious successor when Marty retires Edmonton - Eberle

If there is one available I think we would love to have him

The bartender says "sorry, we don't serve anything faster than the speed of light here." A neutrino walks into a bar.

Do they want Sammy to replace him on RW?????????

Wow, Roenick is really riled up on twitter

Yet Holland doesn't? Lamoriello built that franchise from the ground up. He didn't just walk into a perfect situation with a bunch of Hall of Famers and yearly playoff success. He's had a tougher time since Stevens and Niedermayer have retired and since Brodeur became an old goalie. However, those Stanley Cup rings are very deserved. No one is giving him "too much credit" for the last six or seven seasons. Just what he did before that.

It's not on YouTube, that was in the days of VHS. I would have to find the box that contains all the old VHS and upload it. Which may happen.

Don Cherry is going to have a field day with this.

Yes, I think you've seen him before.

The kid on the second floor, who lives upstairs from Lou?

Countdown to Brunner going to NJ begins in: 1...

It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

Sadly for the Devils, it appears that he was murdered by Sollozzo some time ago.

Good GOD I hope this Hampus kid doesn't flare out with a pffftt because I'm REALLY stoked about the future possibilities of using his name repeatedly to describe random stuff...

If he is half the player Todd was before the Moore incident he will be a very good NHLer!

LGW 101. If he isnt Larry Robinson from game 1 on, bash him.

Good. His indifferent play last season ought to get us a good value.

I love how people spout off all of this banter about Nill being better than Holland because of XYZ and being the "real GM" in Detroit, and then they go complain in other threads about every signing and draft we've made over the last several years. Which is it people? This is probably going to have fairly insignificant effects overall. I actually can't remember the last North American impact player the Red Wings drafted. I guess Darren Helm in 2005 or Jimmy Howard in 2003.

I know a lot of people don't like Sammy, and he isn't my favorite player either, but I think some of the hate is a little over the top. Before his injury, he was always good for about 1/2 a point per game. That's pretty decent if you ask me. In a 4th line role, I would love Sammy. Other than that we don't really have room for him.

He's a little overrated, but then again, we're the same team that traded a 1st for Quincey.
