    Wings interested in Ray Emery

    Don't worry, he'd go a step further than McClennan went. Besides, it would just be for the regular season.

    Wings interested in Ray Emery

    Maybe we could insert him late in games we know we're going to lose, just so he can start some s***.

    Drake leaning toward retirement

    I don't care about this one way or another. He doesn't give us anything we don't have, and I honestly didn't want him on this team anyways, since I never liked him. He's basically Kirk Maltby without Kirk Maltby's popularity as a Wing.

    Bertuzzi placed on waivers.

    I'd take him back for a dollar. That's what we got Draper for, right?

    I can see you have a lot of free time on your hands.

    Red Wings to carry enforcer.

    Tina is a punching bag who no one likes, except for the guys fighting against him. Why would we want him on our team?

    Red Wings to carry enforcer.

    Statistically, Sammy isn't any better than Tucker. Also, Sammy is in his 30's just like Tucker is, so age isn't an issue.

    Red Wings to carry enforcer.

    Think how many Wings players have received that same label over the years.

    Because we'd send Kopecky the other way.

    Red Wings to carry enforcer.

    I've thought about Erskine, but Holland would never go for it considering how deep we are on defense. I'm still thinking that D.J. King would be a great option providing St. Louis wants to get rid of him. As far as Laraque goes, unless he all of a sudden becomes a mean S.O.B. who loves to fight, I would not go after him. As many have already pointed out, he's a boring wrestler more than a fighter. I don't see him being a fan favorite in Detroit with his style.

    Kyle Wellwood?

    Sorry, it wasn't big enough for me to stare at for any long period of time. I just noticed the blonde hair, and went ga-ga from there.

    Red Wings to carry enforcer.

    How dare you guys discuss this topic without me? For years I've been saying Brian McGrattan, but I just read in this topic that he's off the market. Oh well. Does anyone know what Brashear's status is with Washington, or D.J. King's status with St. Louis?

    Phoenix Coyotes

    I've heard this said before about their team, so I'm going to hold off on praising them until they actually accomplish something.
  15. GMRwings1983

    Sergei Kolosov/Siarhei Kolasau signed.

    Well, if he's big and physical, than that's good enough for me. The last thing we need is another undersized defenseman. My hunch tells me he's the next Chris Pronger.

    Cory Stillman and Michael Ryder

    Ryder appears washed up, and Stillman is always hurt. We don't need a gimp on this team, no matter how many points he puts up when he's healthy.

    Who's the babe?

    NHL Suspends Ducks Owner Indefinitely

    To most people here on LGW, Burke is the owner of the Ducks.

    Sundin Headed to Free Agency

    Supposedly Kariya and Tkachuk wanted to win a Cup towards the end of their careers, and they wound up signing with St. Louis last year. I still think Sundin will go to a Cup contender, but you never know what he may do if someone throws some money in his face.

    Roberts won't re-sign with Pittsburgh

    There's no comparison to Drake, since he's a way better player than Drake. However, I still wouldn't go this route. He's not what we need at this point, but Gary Roberts in his prime would be the kind of player I'd kill to have on the Red Wings. A guy who can score, fight, hit and lead by example.

    Marc Denis

    Howard has been held back long enough. It's time for him to get his shot.

    If you were the Commish

    He already has, genius.

    Kyle Wellwood?

    Wellwood has some skills, but if he can't motivate himself enough to develop those skills into something valuable on the ice, why should we take him? The Wings aren't running some reform school for washed up players, but instead an organization that only knows how to win. We succeeded with guys like Lilja and Cleary, but I don't think it'll work with everyone because of that.
  24. GMRwings1983

    Per Sipple, Wings are close to signing Lilja

    Hey, I'd pay to see that kind of action any day.

    Mike Knuble?

    He's past his prime, but I wouldn't mind having him on the 3rd or 4th line. However, he's past being a consistent producer on the top 2 lines, so I wouldn't go that route if that's what anyone has in mind.
