Watching the world cup, man I wish we had a guy like that Tatar..... oh wait... we do he's just misused by our coaching staff.

I can't watch the game, but can anyone confirm the rumor that the Red Wings changed the font on their jerseys?

They absolutely did and the font will be a permanent change for the duration of the season

I feel like your expectations are impossible to meet. You specifically say "Outbid them ALL" then you say things like "No Larkin, No AA, No DD, No Mrazek etc." You cant have it both ways. I hope Holland can get these guys with picks/our 2nd tier players, but based on everything I am reading, Winnipeg wants a top LH D-man, and from Detroit that would be DD.

I do agree with you Frank that it will likely take DD to get Trouba, but with that being said, you even said it yourself, asking price and actual value are not the same thing. Of course Winnipeg is going to start this process asking for top value, we will see what happens. It is an interesting situation as being an RFA, Trouba does has more control then usual in this situation as nobody is going to want to trade for a player who may hold out. Trouba and his agent do have some power here. 8x8 for Trouba is just stupid. I am as high on Trouba as anyone, but the kid hasn't done anything yet. He's coming from a team where he played on the third pairing. All the potential in the world, but you don't pay 8x8 for potential. Coming from someone who always says not to put too much pressure on the kids, I dont see how you can justify 8x8 for a 22 year old, talk about pressure, geez.

Been calling for it for a while. He can get hit by pucks just as well as Miller or Ott. The only difference is he might score once in a while.

Every year lol

Looks like Jedi is back and with a new avatar.

yep, all season

It's awful what the NHL is doing to their websites.

Glad people are noticing it. They better up his ice time this year.

Sheahan scores on an odd man rush! 4-2 wings... Game over. Final Det 4 Pit 2

WIN IT FOR JOHN WICK'S DOG

All the goals he's scoring, all I can think of is how Blash demoted him to the 4th line last year while continuing to play Glendening 15+ minutes every night. Hopefully he's learned his lesson, but I'll have to see it to believe it.

Good thing we have boat anchor Drew Miller and 100 year old Steve Ott playing on our 4th line instead of Callahan, you know the guy who's shown he can scrap and chip in offensively for much cheaper. Oh, and the MOST important thing in the history of Red Wings hockey, he can PK too. Prepare to puke kip. We're gonna see Miller-Glendening-Ott get caved in shift after shift every game cuz they play hard and compete

If Callahan doesn't get a roster spot over Ott or Miller I'll ******* puke.

Well it's about damn time!!! I was getting pretty sick and tired of the old font.

what kind of joke is this?

Would love a pm for a link too. Thanks

I'd love a PM for a feed as well! Man that was a VERY LONG summer.

I'll send you a link, I'm pretty sure it'll work but the quality may not be the best. You should also check out Reddit close to game time for a high-res feed.

Red Wings are to wear a commemorative patch in honour of Gordie Howe

Is it true?! Is hockey really back?! *fist pump* Here's hoping for a great season and a deep run! LGW!

Three way trade involving Fowler and Trouba makes too much sense... Make it happen Holland!

Trade value in the NHL is a tricky thing, one trade may effect the market, but it does not define it. If it did then the Tyler Seguin trade would have had a huge ripple effect. Just because Chiarelli and Bergevin made dumb trades (ie. Seguin/Hall and Subban trades) it doesn't mean that everyone else will. A player is only as valuable as the team that is trading for him makes him out to be. If we were in June, I think the market for Trouba would have been sky high. So many teams with so much cap space, really anything could happen and likely Winnipeg would have been given a big offer, I can see why Winnipeg's fans are pretty pissed with the handling of this situation. We all saw it first hand with the horrible trades made by both Montreal and Edmonton. With that being said, what Trouba's value is now in September is not necessarily the same as what it was back in June. It could be even higher (doubt it), it could be lower, it all depends on what teams are willing to trade. In addition, one other thing people are not taking into consideration here is the fact that Trouba is an unsigned RFA who is requesting a trade at a very young age, this is a turn off to a lot of GM's. Winnipeg can trade him wherever they want, but the team that trades for him is going to want some assurance that Trouba is going to sign for a rate they can afford. If Trouba and his camp don't give that to them, that is a problem. My gut tell me that Trouba will not go to Detroit, because I think some team out there will offer a package better then what we can offer if we are not going to include Larkin, Mrazek, and DD. Though, I definitely think we have a shot as we are a team I believe Trouba would love to come to as we are in his home state, we have a lot of good young talent, and he would instantly be our #1D. We will have to wait and see what happens.
