I have never been to Edmonton so I have no judgement against Edmonton as a city. Why do so many people hate on Edmonton so much?

Classy guy. I wish he never left the Wings.

If it is a team named after a sponsor I'm going to be PISSED!!!!

Do you guys think the Flyers would part with Briere as he is the oldest of the "big 3" to get Cap relief?

Would you guys be OK with this team next season.

I'm with you guys about not adding any new forwards this offseason. We will resign Eaves, Miller & Draper and Mursak will be up with the Wings. We will however add D-Man and my money is on Wisniewski for his offensive abilities to replace Rafalski or Jovanovski for a few years.

Nashville? If you said Phoenix and Miami I would be with you but Nashville?!?!?!

Damn....who pee'd in your Cheerios?

I have never seen him a real possibilty for the Wings. I just don't see Holland as a guy who would do another franchise like that......now the Islanders....

This

I was listening to NHL Home Ice on XM this morning and they were saying someone is going to offer Bieksa between $4.5-$5m per year!!!! WOW

You can tell this decision is killing him.

Winnipeg as a market will put more butts in seats than Phoenix, Atlanta, Columbus, Isles or Florida for sure and Winnipeg isn't even a 1/3 the size of them.

Fair enough. I just thought he was still relatively young.

This is how I can see next years team. Zetterburg-Datsyuk-Homer Franzen-Filppula-Bert Cleary-Helm-Hudler Mursak-Abs-Eaves O Reserves: Miller, Draper Lidstrom-Stuart Pitkanen-Kronwall Wisniewski-Kindl D Reserve: ? Howard; Budaj

Guys.....lets be real here. Let's assume the following: *Hudler will return next season *Weber will resign with the Preds *Bieksa & Erhoff will resign with Vancouver (Salo will not be brought back freeing up money) *Montreal will resign Markov, Gil & Sopel That leaves the Wings this group of Defensemen to go after. Jovanovski McCabe Hamerlik Hannan Kaberle Pitkanen Rivet Salo Wisniewski White, Ian Wallin O'Brien Would you guys be OK with Wisniewski @ 4 years; $3.75m per year & Pitkanen @ 3 years; $4.15m per year? Lidstrom-Stuart Pitkanen - Kronwall Wisniewski - Kindl

This is how I see it shaking out: Nashville goers to the Eastern Conference (SouthEast Division) Central Divisoin: Detroit Chicago Columbus St Louis Minnesota Pacific: San Jose Anaheim Phoenix LA Dallas Northwest: Vancouver Calgary Winnipeg Colorado Edmonton

*RUMOR* The Winnipeg team will be known as the Manitoba Moose. The NHL owns the Jets name and Logo and they want a ton of money from True North for it. True North already owns the Manitoba Moose name. The AHL team will cease to exist.

WOW.........really sad. He was my favorite "goon".

Why would any team give us anything but a bag of peanuts for Hudler?

I am.

I like em. They are funny.

I see what you did there!!!! HAHA

Yeah....and I have some ocean front property in Iowa for sale to you at a great price!
