Bruce Garrioch ✔ @SunGarrioch Follow Can confirm @DarrenDreger report that Daniel Alfredsson retirement is expected to be announced Dec. 4 in Ottawa. #Sens 8:02 PM - 25 Nov 2014

the Griffins, but its tomorrow night so just read my comment in like 20 hours and respond.

Because a per game estimate is a far better predictor of what they'll do in a single game than their recent season totals would suggest. You'd be correct if they were playing the emtire season together, but they're not.

thank you for posting this. You could have heard a pin drop in that arena... what a lovely tribute. RIP.

Andy miele is that you?Oh and. Damn you Mark BernWagner!

BEETLEJUICE!BEETLEJUICE!BEETLEJUICE!see, nothing happened don't be crazy. OH GOD! MICHEAL KEATON JUST SHOWED UP IN MY LIVING ROOM!!!!

The ICU: Injured Centers United!

According to capgeek this is the final year of his contract. At $3 million a year, you don't trade for him if you plan to send him down. I'm afraid to even discuss it more for fear it will somehow bring this terrible trade into existence.

A+ in homework Literally just got back from the liquor store, and I chose Bourbon. I feel like a failure. Time for drinks.

How much are you willing to pay? Lets hear your trade offer?

You mentioned that you think the Datsyuk Helm Weiss line is doomed to fail, and followed that up by saying none of the three of them averages more than 130-140 shots/year. That suggests that you expect the line to fail because they allegedly don't shoot the puck much, which is what Son of a Wing addressed by using a much more accurate shots/game average. Their season totals are that low due primarily to injuries, and to use full-season shot total to predict what kind of offensive output we can expect IS skewing stats (or at the very least is a poor choice of statistical values to use). With your value of 135 shots/year, it suggests an average of 1.6 shots/game, which is much lower than what they actually shoot. His response has absolutely nothing to do with playing a full season.

As much as I despise him as a player, he is afterall, human. And a very caring and giving human at that! Very Cool.

But guys...if we can snag Kopecky then obviously Hossa is going to demand a trade back here...

I know but I was at the game and couldn't accept them till I got home lol

With the constant looming of injuries when it comes to Datsyuk and Zetterberg, I don't see a future that doesn't involve the Wings giving Weiss a shot at the number two center position he was supposed to be and was signed to be. They need to EASE, not thrust, him back into the second line center position. Evaluate if he can be our second line center going forward, if NOT Evaluate if he can be a top line winger, if NOT Evaluate his worth to the team vs. his cap-hit/salary, then and only then can we explore trade options for Weiss. We're always clamoring for reclamation projects up in here... and well, we got one. We've had one. Last night could be the preview to the coming out party that we've been wanting so badly. (Even those who were against this signing from the get-go have to be happy about last night's play from Weiss.) Ideally at the center position: #1. Dats or Z (whichever is healthy -- if they're both healthy, great! Keep them together.) #2. Weiss #3. Sheahan #4. Glendeniinnginiginng Helm is your most expendable center with the most value. That being said, I don't see him being moved anytime soon especially when we still need to evaluate Weiss.

No big surprise there. Before the season started I kind of wanted him back, but I'm okay with him hanging them up. No shame Alfie, great career and a lock for the HOF.

You know what, people make mistakes all the time. All you can do is fix what you can and have to and then move on. Look backward and learn and move forward. That's how I try and live life.

You've never been married have you?Haha

Sometimes you make mistakes....JJ trusted his parents, Fedorov trusted a financial advisor and gave him millions and millions to invest...that didn't work out too good for Sergei. He thought he was hiring a professional and JJ thought he was in good hands with his parents. Greed kills and nobody is immune to now and again.

Agreed. When I first saw the headline I thought "what a moron." But reading more about it and hearing what his parents did puts it in a whole different light for me. I guess you can blame him for being naive and not picking up on the problem earlier, but it's his friggin parents. The guy is likely busy playing hockey and trusting that his mother will be handling things and looking out for his best interests. Not having an agent didn't help. Agents are often evil, but a necessary one in the entertainment business.

Not saying I'd trust him with millions of dollars, but you can't call him stupid for thinking his parents would have his best interest at heart. He made a mistake.

my Dads really good with cars.And he helped put in my water heater. And he pulled a bunch of my baby teeth.

He's an idiot? Really? I can't speak for anyone else, but the last person in this world I'd expect to screw me over financially is my mother. It's one thing to be awful with money, but what they did with his money goes beyond being financially irresponsible - they milked the **** out of him. They treated him like a cash cow and ran his debt into the ground. The amount they spent/lost has more to do with their greed and taking advantage of a situation than it does with making smart decisions. Disgusting on their part.

If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and the new chick in the Wendy's commercials, I would shoot Wendy's girl twice.
