I hope Red WIngs make a trade for him >: ) you know what f*** it, i'll sign him to a offer sheet in NHL 12.

and we couldn't just give Vancouver our 2012 4th rounder.

Guys, how about Tomas Jurco at 24

http://www.thedetroitsportssite.com/2011/06/21/red-wings-inching-closer-to-signing-jaromir-jagr/3020 Pierre LeBrun of ESPN tweeted just before noon Tuesday that the Detroit Red Wings have offered the most money to free agent Jaromir Jagr, making Detroit a frontrunner for the Czech winger. Money obviously isn’t everything, but it is clearly playing a part in Jagr’s decision-making. The fact the Wings are already offering the most, coupled with the Jagr’s expressed interest in playing for Detroit, make it seem like this marriage will be a lock shortly. While the terms of the proposed deal are not known, you have to imagine it couldn’t be much more than the one Mike Modano got last year ($1.25 million). The Red Wings franchise has to be hoping Jagr would be able to add more to the team than Modano did last year. Jagr was a dangerous scorer in his prime with the Pittsburgh Penguins, but nothing guarantees he still will be. The former Penguin, Washington Capital and New York Ranger is 39 and will turn 40 halfway through next season. His age alone, plus the wear and tear of more than 1,000 career games played, has to be a cause for concern. Jagr is no longer the 100 point-per-year player he was in the 90s, but if he could recapture just a fraction of what he accomplished during his second stint with the Rangers, the Wings would have to be happy. He would fit nicely on the second or third line and could be a huge boon for a Detroit offense than had trouble producing in the second round of the playoffs last year. The last three years of Jagr’s career have been spent in the KHL playing for Omsk Avangard, which is certainly different than the NHL. Despite the league being far less superior than the NHL, he still showed some promise with more than 50 points in two of the three seasons. Nothing says those numbers will translate back to the NHL — they certainly did not for Jiri Hudler, who also had a stint in the KHL — but no one will know if they will until he plays in the league again. If the Red Wings dedicate a lot of money to him, then signing Jagr could be a risky proposition. At the same time though, if they sign him and make a serious Stanley Cup run, then it would be worth it. Sure, he is almost 40, but if there is one thing we know about the Detroit Red Wings, it is that they can handle older players and revive their careers with surgical precision.

He's going to Ottawa. Ottawa is expected to announce it tomorrow.

I think he is going to Ottawa for sure.

Per: TSN.ca

Richards looking for $64M over 8 years. From: KuklasKorner

question is.. who's going to take Hudler..

I was searching around on Richards, Toronto Sun. I think NYR, TB , LA and probably Carolina. Maybe Kenny will work his 'Hossa' Magic on Richards. I will laugh it that happens, and end up wining the cup.

We all know that Niklas Kronwall is one amazing defenceman, who has the opportunity to be our number D-Man. With one year left on his contract ( 3Millon ) how much and how long do you think he will resign with the Red Wings ? and the cap hit too. Do you guys expect Stuart to have the same contract too ?

You forgot about Zetterberg and Franzen !

What a great signing. I Can't wait till next off season where Kenny can play with the whole roster since we are going to have a lot of cash too. Maybe the Cap space will go up even higher >: )

Do you think it's risky to sign him long term, Since he's only 30 and entering his prime.

Hey guys, I have some questions about the KHL Draft that to doesn't make sense. Why would teams use their 1st round draft picks in the KHL Jr draft to draft the top prospects in the NHL 2011 Draft. Do they think those top prospects will play for their team? Do the players become part of the KHL team rights? Like, for example St.John's Sea Dogs, top prospect, Jonathan Huberdeau currently rank 3rd overall by the NHL Central Scouting has been selected 5th overall by Vityaz Chekhov. so do Vityaz Chekhov own his rights ? Edit: I just checked Wiki on the KHL draft, why do they have Calle Järnkrok as one of their top prospects in the Draft, wasn't he drafted by the wings last year? this all doesn't make sense to me.
