**************************************************************************************************************************************** WE wants a top 6 forward..well wait !!! the point of carrying 6-8 million would be NOT to spend it on crap that infects the team...Forsberg may be available at Xmas but I don't see him with the wings but if Stanley is what you want then part way thru the year will be SERGI FEDOROV the reason wings won 3 cups, as i see it we haven't won since he left...last year of contract coming here would motivate him big time..just like everyone else.. I know bunch of people will say he deserted us for money but that's what professionel sports is all about!!! $$$$$$ If it wasn't the NHLwouldn't have shut down for a year....and if the players had more balls they would have won had they not deserted Goodenow... Just keep saying it SERGI SERGI SERGI Stanley CUP Stanley cup

Souray is 1of the reasons Habs goailes faced 45-55 shots per night...great shot but if you stand beside him he can't use it...very poor defensively..makes bad choices..bad penalties BUT can beat the crap out of most of NHL and likes to do it.. there is no comparison...as for teaming Sourey with lidstom..i don't see lidstrom in detroit (NHL) this could be hisl ast year!!! I say that because of the $$$$ Rafalski got and the $$$$ Zetterberg will get!!! We can't be like Tampa pay 3 guys 20% of the payroll...everyone else has to leave....Edmonton overpaid because he was the last guy left with the big name and would sign with them...hey they could have signed Yashin!!!!

buffalo has 7 day to accept or lose vanek and get 4 1st round picks

Roenick??? Is that a band-wagon ??? You must mean the honey wagon, because that's the true smell of Roenick now

The redwings are built off drafting...there is no loyalty unless your winning see alot of guys sticking around chicago ??? If we weren'twinng no one would be around still wouldlike to have markov I like Rafalski but $6 million ??? leads me to believe we are about to watch Lidstrom's last year as a redwing bertuzzi for $4 million a year....not $ 2.5-3.0 as some 'dreamers' were hoping for good ridence lookat the future...everyone overpays for at least 1 free agent

I 'm seeing this as Lidstrom has already made his retirement plans, otherwise the talent is there but where's the toughness...??? Maybe we shoulf get fedorov back after a buyout should be cheap..if you hadn't noticed...we haven't won a cup since he left!!

Just curious..but who goes to Carolina???? Philly and Carolina..trying to trade dmen Pik to carolina and J. Wallin to philly but Wallin has to waive no trade contract...

They can ask for what they want..but TSN also reported that Robyn wants out of calgary and only has 1 year this year coming to be a free agent..he'sNOT going to be giving a hometown discount

Who is going to guarentee Bert will be 100 % healthy I can see him crunching someone though the boards and or course the otherway around , he misses the check hit the boards at a bad angle and is finished for the year or career... let someone else invest $9 million in that back.

No room for Smyth...I can't see him signing for less than $6 million and minimum 5 years Smyth is looking to go back west...Calgary a good spot if they can dump 5.3 million on MTL Vancouver is another spot...just enough room...toronto still in the running But to me he will be overpriced and his 30 year old body had 35 years on it and what maybe 3 years left at his pace. Isle have a goalie at a good price but won't be able to play his last 5 years of that contract that's a good deal

Eddy was making a point...we scored Marty wasn't running eddy he was blocking his view... Eddy was asking him to move My objection is to guys just crashing the net..maybe it's time to bury the posts again and players will choose charge the net and run the goalie...or miss and break my legs.. players are going to the net with next to no penalty

Matty won'tsign with anyone for 2 years..use common sense here...he's 37/8 last chance for the $$$$$ Rafalski is going to get 6+...schneider 5-6 +...Sourey can't play defence...Markov is the gut to sign let Matty go... we can't sign both and zetterberg signing is not far off. Rafalski does want to go to a team that will let him loose...take off up ice...and pay $$$$ LA isfor him or maybe chicago...they need someone to help their new dmen

Jeff is one of those guys who wants to end his career in Toronto..has a no trade because of that... he's just playing out the string...who wanting a cup..would go to Toronto...

What happened did the redwings mascot quit and now there's an opening maybe he could lead the chearleaders in the crowd..sell pop-corn JR died when he left Chicago..he might try hard but he does nothing to merit ice time with anyone but the ice-follies

Marty ya big baby...look at the films of Smith and Hexstall...you have a goalie stick use it when someone'scoming off the wing going todo the full charge..lift your stick up..hold it point first where he'sgoing to crash and after they take him off the ice you will have some respect..protect yourself..suspension -time off big deal the guy crashing just missed losing an eye.. will think twice.. by the way Marty..time to cut down on the pads...the trapper by 20 % at least and no more cheaters on the trappers. cut down on goalies shoulder pads also..they for protection not to block out the sun.

Messier - Stevens - Francis -McInnes are a lock Igor has an international and NHL experience but the other guys all played in NHLand were stars in the NHL at their PEAK IGOR wasn't and he's russian.. I like Igor but not a chance My View is that he takes Francis's place but itwon't happen Messier - Stevens - Francis -McInnes are a lock Igor has an international and NHL experience but the other guys all played in NHLand were stars in the NHL at their PEAK IGOR wasn't and he's russian..

your wrong about the dmen market...very few talented dmen available...5.75 for mTL's markov and 6.3 for Timmonen wait until july 1st will be like rotisserie baseball or whatever....each GM willwant 1 guy and overpay for him and the rest will get what's left...deals or steals will be guys not signed in 1st week like JP dumont

That must be some calculator to be able to sign them all and Malkin to boot they want to keep Malkin for when Crosby leaves Pittsburg in 4-5 years and goes to Montreal...his favourite team That must be some calculator to be able to sign them all and Malkin to boot they want to keep Malkin for when Crosby leaves Pittsburg in 4-5 years and goes to Montreal...his favourite team

Breire drury and gomez get the big money 6-8 million... Nylander had his best year...ever... I can't see him at less than 3 million...to 4 million depending on who signs first...lot'sof centre's buy NOT lot's of Dmen...that's why they will be more expensive Lang will get 3 or less but never under-estimate the idiot's who are GM's

Schneider is gone...forget it too much $$$... Bertuzzi is going to want $2 million + .... not worth the gamble The Dom is staying...was great last year...gamble 2 years without an injury..but whoelse is there ??? Markov...hope we keep this guy...more than Mathew S. ... he's tougher Nylander is 4-5 million we don't have the space....Stumpel would be a good fit but we need a tougher winger.....Lebda and Sammy for Smith and Torres works for both teams That's smart give a cripple a 2 year contract!!! and what's is the limit for Bertuzzi ??? how long and how much per year....let's hear numbers...not 'something i could live with.

Now take Lang put him with Columbus and fedorov with wings..who gets more points ?? Sergi Likesergi but not at 5-6 million...wedon't have the $$ even for1/2 price NEXT Sergi..was always wing most consistant playoff player and that while covering their top line

The ole Bertuzzi is gone....a bad back never goes away should Holland sign him ,i'dlike to see him run over by a bus to counter Holland's mistake!!!

Geez..no way of knowing...He checp shotted the guy from behind and before all those guys piled on Bertuzzi drove his head into the ice and not by accident...Forget the piling on Bertuzzi was responsible for injury...L:et Bert go somewhere else...as forLapointe his day is done..too expensive anyway.. Do U mean we signed Burtuzzi ???? when ?? how long ??? how much

Carter..people have to be kidding...dropped from the lineup of a team that didn't make the playoffs and people think because U can get him cheap it'ss steal ??? crap is still crap no matterhow you wrap it>> Nolan died during 2nd half of season...now let someone else bury him!!! Friesen has never regained his scoring ability...should be in the minors....or Boston.. same thing
