No the Sens are better now cause they have Ryan, remember how stellar he was against us in the playoffs? Lol

They had Ken Kal on for the first part. He talked about the signings of Weiss and Alfredsson. Then they talked about the rest of the team. They pulled out some good stats out, such as Dats scoring over 40% of the Red Wings goals through the shortened seasons. Thats just unbelievable. Finally, they predicted the Wings would finish 3rd in the conference. It could go as high as 2nd if the Wings secondary scoring picked up. It could go as low as 6th or 7th if they have similar struggles to last season. Either way, they predict the Wings are playoff bound next season.

That's what makes Illitch a good owner. He hires good people and lets them do their jobs for the most part.

I was about to write something about ownership likely forcing Lamoriello's hand on Kovalchuk, because it is not very like him. Also after finishing Phil Espositos book Thunder & Lightning you realize that the owners or their representatives interfere quite a bit in the work of the general manager. Usually not with very good results. He mentions a done deal with Puppa and pick for Joseph back in the day that could have made a significant difference at the time. He also mentioned that the owners denied him to pursue a deal for Gretzky when in NY. Great read if you like to get behind the scenes a little bit.

Sather does what a lot of Wings fans want Holland to do. Big name free agent? Pay him! Good player available in trade? Get him matter the cost!

Good deal.
