    Confused on the direction of this team going forward

    He very well could play 82 games next year, and so could the also injury prone Zetterberg. Both had back issues, both are apparently on the mend. Helm had a rash of injuries all in a row which sometimes happens. When you have a serious injury and then come back, your body sometimes doesn't transition too well. Sort of like jumping on a treadmill that's going full speed... Either way, I'm gonna stay positive on both of those guys as they're 2 of my 3 favorite players. With Helm as well, he was concussed on a dirty hit by none other than Jared Cowen, so we can't really use the injury prone card on that one, or we'd have to use it on Dats as well, who was also concussed by that meathead Cowen. Last year sucked terribly for injuries. All I can say is I hope that changes this year and we get to watch our best players every night.

    Dekeyser signed. 2 yrs $2.187 million AAV

    I'd love for both guys to be lifetime Wings, so I'd be perfectly fine if both got 5 year 15 million contracts to bridge them until they get 5-6 mil per on the next one. I just hope they sign soon so we can put this thread to bed.

    In 3-4 years, Helm will be skating circles around a pile of crows for LGW to feast upon I hope he plays 82 games next season and everyone forgets the past 2 years.

    Filppula got a 5 year 15 million prove it contract. I would like to see Tatar and DeKeyser each get 2 years at 2 mil per year and then take it from there.

    2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

    The extra million this year should have been for getting 10 points, not playing 10 games. His whopping 8 points last year in 52 games don't merit more than league minimum. That's 4th line enforcer stats, especially when you account for his -11.

    No Helm is the worst part. I'd love to see the speed on a line of Helm-Larkin-Athaniesou. That line up makes me actually want to get NHL Gamecenter after this year. I wish we could swap KFQ for Ouellet though. His positioning, vision and 1st pass make him a huge asset. One can assume Marchenko's gonna make a push soon too, so Ericsson will have to play exceptional to keep that spot with Kronwall.

    2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

    I'd rather not take on Bickell, but Seabrook is exactly what our blueline needs. That is a trade where I would be willing to use Tatar as a centrepiece.

    Dekeyser signed. 2 yrs $2.187 million AAV

    If the Wings can't trade Kindl than yes I feel they may waive him. If no other team wants him then why would the Wings? Let him go down to GR and then fizzle out to Europe.

    Dekeyser signed. 2 yrs $2.187 million AAV

    Kindl's gonna go on waivers cause they can't trade him and Smith will get 2nd PP time.

    2014 Prospects Tournament and Training Camp (Sept. 12-23)

    I wish I could go to the prospect tournament. I'm more interested in watching the Black Aces defend their crown from last year than watching the Wings squeak into 8th place for a 24th straight post season appearance.

    Ex-NHL Referee Paul Stewart Blog

    Very interested to see what this guy has to say about Yzerman. The Captain lost his cool a few times, but for the most part he seemed like he was cool headed. I never pegged Yzerman for a whiner. When you're as respected as Yzerman, you're allowed to talk to the refs are you not? I guess Sakic was a whiner too then... He always had the exact same demeanour as Yzerman.

    preds prospects Viktor Arvidsson and Kevin Fiala shootout moves

    Yeah Nashville has taken a serious interest and they apparently had brochures for the games to learn more about it and the rules so they understand the game better. The Yotes don't have the luxury of dedicated fans which is why they're now the Arizona Coyotes. How many cities in AZ have they failed in now?

    Favorite Dan Cleary Moment or Play

    If Cleary scores 25 goals this year, I will buy a Cleary jersey, I will drive to Detroit for a Wings home game and I will hold up a sign that says the worst possible thing anyone on this site comes up with.

    preds prospects Viktor Arvidsson and Kevin Fiala shootout moves

    As a life long Wings and Jets fan, it is not the "Forsberg", it's the Zhamnov. Forsberg can suck it. Z and that Preds kid do "The Zhamnov". Glad I could finally get that off my chest. In addition, Forsberg did it what? 1994 Olympics or something? I was at one of the Jets games in 92 or 93 when Zhamnov broke in and started doing it. Back on topic, sort of, I like Preds fan. Anyone who rags on him for posting a topic in the General Discussion area needs to calm the hell down. People always say, hey, I don't know much about that guys, can anybody shed light on what that player is like. Here's a video of what a couple players are like, now you don't have to ask. Edit: After some research, Wiki stated that Forsberg borrowed the move from retired Swede Kent NIlsson, but that doesn't take away the fact that Zhamnov did the move 2 years before Floppa.

    I may be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure Alexi Zhamnov did that move prior to Forsberg ever doing it.

    Not too shabby. I feel bad for goalies in shootouts sometimes. The moves guys pull off these days are criminal.

    Favorite Dan Cleary Moment or Play

    I voted other. I was a fan of his up until 2010, but that was 4 years ago now. After numerous years of waiting for Cleary to join another team, my favorite Cleary moment was when he "signed" with the Flyers last summer, followed by my 2nd least favorite Cleary moment where he backed out and rejoined the Wings and it's not hard to guess that my least favorite Cleary moment was when he signed again this summer. That was a nice penalty shot goal, that was a great hit on Phagooooof and any time someone fights Pronger is fun to see, but he's been a Wings a decade as of this upcoming season......hence the poll should have more options in over 500 games.

    Holland Wiki page edited

    I just thought of something. The reason Ken Holland wants all his players to be overripe and 1000% NHL ready is because in his 1st NHL game he got lit up for 7 goals. It all makes sense now.

    Favorite Ken Holland Catchphrase / Quote

    I have a new one after viewing Holland's Wiki page. "My name is Ken Holland. I never won a game in the NHL." In Kenny we trust?

    Whoever did that to the Wiki page is hilarious. Holland has become a villain and the write up is well deserved.

    2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

    Future my ass! He would have got 20 if he wasn't a healthy scratch the first 7 games!!! Just adding to your point btw, not attacking Z brings it every shift, but you do have a point, Tatar is a ball of energy. I'd lose my s*** if Helm got traded as well.

    Before one can move forward, they must first take 2 steps back.

    Kenny sounds like a guy trying to explain his latest STD.
