That is a very reasonable scenario as well... EDIT - thought Backstrom was an UFA - rescinded

we have too much to re-sign as it is - lock up those guys and bring back Hudler, then leave a little space for movement/deadline Henrik Zetterberg ($6.083m) / Pavel Datsyuk ($6.700m) / Johan Franzen ($3.955m) Tomas Holmstrom ($2.000m) / Valtteri Filppula ($3.000m) / Jiri Hudler ($2.875m) Daniel Cleary ($2.800m) / Darren Helm ($1.100m) / Todd Bertuzzi ($1.500m) Kris Draper ($1.583m) / Justin Abdelkader ($0.900m) / Patrick Eaves ($1.250m) Drew Miller ($0.525m) Nicklas Lidstrom ($3.450m) / Brian Rafalski ($6.000m) Brad Stuart ($3.750m) / Niklas Kronwall ($3.000m) Andreas Lilja ($1.250m) / Jonathan Ericsson ($0.900m) Jakub Kindl ($0.883m) Jimmy Howard ($0.717m) Chris Osgood ($1.417m) ROSTER: 22; PAYROLL: $55.638m; CAP ROOM: $1.162m BONUSES: $0.000m

none of them really... but I chose Chicago, PURELY for the travel aspect - people don't realize the impact all the back and forth travel has on a team...

I still liked it better when the topics were all smaller, so you could fit more on one page, and when the pinned topics had their own little section at the top... but at least the colors are good now!

Agreed about Aurie, that one is odd to me... with Kelly though, he left for Toronto and spent just as much time there... that'd be like retiring Fedorov's number... I think it really should almost reserved for players that were almost Wings for life... I know terrible Ted left for Chicago, but that was short stint and he came back... and Sawchuck was a goalie... they're always quirky and not held to the same standard, haha

As others have said, the only current Wing that deserves it is Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg and maybe to some extent, Franzen, have a chance, but they need to have an EPIC next decade for there to even be any discussion...

all the way to the bank

It should be "Full Reply" and "Not as full, but faster when you don't want to quote anyone or use any additional features and add ons Reply" that's faster, right?

Feels weird watching other teams records and actually caring if they win or lose at this time of year as a Wings fan, but lets pull for a perfect scenario tonight... Wings win, Senators win, Sharks win, Time to be a one night Ottawa and San Jose fan!

right on, thanks anyway... I want to second the person who said something about it being aligned to the right as well... needs to be left aligned or centered...

That's a browser command though, the old forum was actually coded with thr lines smaller... I don't want to shrink the text of my browser, just the topics

Trade Hossa, Toews, Sharp, Kane, Seabrook and Keith and purposely tank the season.

Cooke is a joke of a player and of a human being. period.

agreed. Ericsson>Meech>Lebda in my mind... people seem to forget that Ericsson looked great with Lils the first game after the break... NO one looked good against Vancouver... Lilja is the steadying force E needs and he can only benefit from playing with him... why waste time with a lesser d-man in Ledba who has peaked, when you can play a rookie who is still growing and has tons of potential and is already better?

Ok, lets break this down: Good: Bobby Ryan, Zach Parise Not Marketable enough: Ryan Miller, Jack Johnson, Erik Johnson, Jamie Langenbruner Not Enough Star Power: Paul Stastny, Ryan Kesler, Ryan Suter, Tim Connolly, Ryan Malone, Brandon Dubinsky, Keith Yandle, Matt Carle, Drew Miller, Justin Abdelkader. Way too quiet and shy: Dustin Brown

I think you're dead on, even removing the hatred for Crosby, the league would do better marketing someone like Kane (who I also cannot stand) or Bobby Ryan, who's life is pretty much a script you can't write...

this. music is good and the band has some chops... it's just so hard to do anything lyrically with that concept, that you're pretty much destined to sound like a tool...

exactly. dead on.

yea! you're infringing on blueadams redundancy and useless threads!

exactly... you'd need a liver transplant by week 6 of the season, haha

YES! EVERYONE!!!!! ♫♫♫Hey ho! To the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe Rain may fall and wind may blow But there still be Many miles to go Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain And the stream that falls From hill to plain Better than rain or rippling brook Is a mug of beer inside this Took!♫♫♫ :beerbuddy: :chug: :beerbuddy: :chug: :beerbuddy: :chug:
