LGRW!!!

No, I wouldn't be surprised if they were extended before free agency at all. I would be surprised if we extended either before the expansion draft though.

There are so many things wrong with this Bill, but to just address the obvious. - Vanek is a UFA, why would you protect him? - Smith is a UFA and LV will not take him, and like Vanek, why would you protect him? - Bertuzzi cannot be left unprotected as he is not eligible either way It is ironic that you take shots at KH every chance you get, but then suggest moves that are atrocious. Hate Nyquist all you want, but to leave him unprotected is just stupid, He does have value, maybe not as much as some may think, but to lose him for nothing is not a good move. Though I don't even think you believe what you wrote so I don't know why I even bother.

There is no way Zetterberg is not protected. If LV drafts him I see him retiring and then us getting hit with the recapture penalty. Plus if that were to happen, it would be an absolute embarrassment losing your captain like that. Especially in an effort to keep Helm or Abby (the guys that would likely get protected instead). Kronwall is a different story as nobody would take him, and if they did good for us as his days are numbered anyways as LTIR has to be in his near future.

No they aren't lol. Do you live your life without understanding basic marketing, asset worth and values? A home owner could sell a house for a million dollars to a sucker, doesn't mean the market value of that house is actually a million dollars. It could be 700k. Welcome to America and capitalism. Years ago my 2000 mustang's kelly blue book value was listed at $6000. Sold that s*** for $9000 to some college undergrad who really wanted a mustang. That car was not worth $9000 lol. We live in a world of stupid people who get exploited.

So basically you think McDavid is going to follow in Crosby's footsteps of matching his salary with his jersey number? I may agree. lol

I'm actually already planning a trip with some friends to for a week. We're making sure a Red Wings game falls into that week. I feel as though it's one of those things you just gotta do. Go watch your favorite team in Sin City while drunk and broke as hell from losing at poker and not actually giving a crap about it.

A lot of people seem to entirely neglect this fact also when this situation comes up and still insist on it being a lack of effort from Holland. Exactly as you stated, it was Minnesota or NJ for Parise. There was zero chance of him coming here when it was finished, he didn't want to be here, and Detroit was never an option. Holland could have offered absolute maximum and it still doesn't happen. I never understood why this never sunk in with a lot of Wings fans here. As for Abdelkader, sure he has 4 goals, but he takes a lot more stupid penalties at seemingly bad times and should never be in the top 6. I still take him over Sheahan though.

Hear hear. And may the posts be with us. Not sure if we should win or not but I sure Hope we do.

Just tossing this out there, Parise this season - 39 GP 8G 14A 22P and a minus 2. I think LGW would be rioting if mister 11 million per was scoring at a half point per game here. Suter has hardly lived up to his contract either when you consider what guys like Burns are doing for their team on an 8 mil per year contract and Minnesota has done a whole lot of nothing in playoffs since gaining those two.

Yes it is, Vanek needs to be traded there is no way around it. Also people are making a much bigger deal out of this expansion draft than it needs to be. The Wings aren't going to lose someone who can be part of the rebuild, so I really wouldn't worry too much. Come trade deadline some rosters will look very different. There is no doubt in my mind that Z will be protected, Kronner will soon be on LTIR, thanks to handing out ntc and nmc like candies some veterans will need to be protected. Leaving Tatar, Goose unprotected would be stupid each one should at least return a second rounder.

Subjective worth is useless. Objective worth is real. The cars value in the market is $6000. Don't care if you think it's worth $100k or $1 dollar. As for the bold part, you've been the most active member talking about the top 100 list.

Toews is worth 15M

That's not how it works...

Well if people want a comparable, when Crosby's 3 year entry level deal expired, he signed a 5 year 43.5 million deal which was 8.7mil per year. I could see McDavid being a bit more due to inflation/increase in the cap if he keeps everything up, but I don't see it being more then 11, and would guess it would likely be around 9.7mil.

I'd love to see McDavid take a very team friendly like 5 mill per year contract.. if others followed, they could have a reallll good team haha 99.9% chance that doesn't happen, but I like the oilers

I just want to say that I love the idea that Frank's favourite show is pretty much about math freaks.
