    May a duck

    I agree just wasn't sure who you were talking about.

    May a duck

    Who are you talking about because Brad May got a two year deal and Eric Belanger got three.

    May a duck

    They still have Penner to pay and others, if they were planning on signing Selanne and Neids they probably wouldn't have signed the extras. Plus it was a bad job with sarcasm. And yes it is Eric Belanger.

    Bruins looking to dump salary

    It's the bruins they will trade any body. Try to get Kessel and Bergereon for Little Caesar's Gift Certificates. I bet they take it! LOL

    What now?

    I wish I could find where, but I read some where that Kozlov turned down 3 years 10-12 from Florida. Do you think he wants out? or is he looking for more $$$?

    Peter Forsberg

    Now that was a tasty cup of sarcasm!! MMM yum

    Is that the same ankle he messed up in Col. I seem to remember him having a lot of ankle injuries.

    Novotny

    Not major news but news. Per TSN

    ZUBRUS with the devils 6 yr deal

    Him or Gionta, Gionta maybe undersized but this kid plays with intensity and fire. He may not be a big gritty winger, but his game has tenacity and toughness. Not fighting toughness but he is hard to clear out of a spot he has grabbed.

    REVENGE?

    Let's sign Rampage Jackson and teach him how to skate. Don't even give him a helmet or a stick, just let him skate around staring players down. That should take care of the grit everyone wants. Just kidding, on a serious note, the Ducks are going to have a hard time keeping Penner, and if Selanne returns you can kiss Penner good bye. SO I am hoping selanne comes back for another year and the wings throw a huge check at penner.

    Who is next to sign with Detroit?

    Saw them twice this fall and going to see them again on the 13 of july!!

    Dustin Penner?

    Then 4 mil 6 years Please, please, please. Man this team will be undersized. Who is next Marion gaborik.
  13. Opie

    Dustin Penner?

    DO IT< GET THESE BASTARDS BACK!! And on top of that get a great young talent!! Offer him 2.5-3 mil and 5 or 6 years and I bet he takes it. And I would love to see a former Umaine -er in a winger wheel, well besides Jimmy!

    Caps Sign Nylander

    Did Elkund have this one hahahaha

    Habs sign Roman Hamrlik

    Damn nothing for a couple of hours and then these back to back!

    Detroit trying to get Lundqvist?

    That would have to involve Howard and at least one other top prospect. Detroit should not make this move for what could turn out to be a one hit wonder, the next Jim Carrey!

    Report: Kings sign Tom Preissing

    I am actually surprised they haven't gone after guy with a little more aggression. I mean who knows maybe they're but we don't see it because they are losing out to higher bidders. But it just seems they are laying back not doing much. Yet it is not like they contended for anything last year. It is too bad they have some really nice talented youngsters. Do you think they are a little gun shy after the Allison, Deadmarsh signings. Afraid to spend money only to have the players barely ever take the ice again.
  18. Thanks, the only reason I said anything is I remember being impressed by his ability to take advantage of rushes up the ice, and clear the wings zone with some speed, but I don't remember much of him in the defensive zone defensively. I did notice he was great at starting the attack, much like 4 of the other guys play D with a wing on their chest.
  19. I didn't catch every playoff game so don't take this as trying to flame: Why was Lebda so horrible in the PO and what happened to Lilja on your list.

    Who is next to sign with Detroit?

    I would take Zubrus or Comrie. Remember the wings are not looking for a big name 40-50 goal scorer. They have 2 guys that can do that already and have a couple of young guys who the team has high hopes for. Grigs is hopefully going to be wearing the winged wheel, Flip will be a year more experienced and better. The mule should be a damn good 3rd line player. I would really like to see the Mule, Flip, and Samuelson on a line together.

    Flyers: Can they make the playoffs?

    Ain't that the truth ruth. BTW that is a great checking line they have as the 2nd scoring line. I hope the wings never have a line that looks like that as their second attack line. That first line will win the award for highest percentage of their teams scoring on even strength shifts.

    poor buffalo

    I think I am probably the biggest J Howard supporter on this board and even I would say bye to him in a heart beat to get Miller in a winged wheel!! That would be Friggin' sweet!!!!!!

    Pens sign Sydor & Sykora

    It is so nice to see a team that was a perennial cellar dweller go out and make moves to support their young talent. This is two years in a row, IMO, that they have gone out and tried to improve their team and make them a cup contender. Not just a playoff contender. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have Washington, who has arguably the second best young player in the game (behind Crosby) and is doing nothing to help this man. In the end, Ovechkin will get a bad rep because he will ask out of Washington, and Crosby will probably sign a long term deal with the pens. Hopefully enough people realize it is the org not Ovechkin that needs a kick in the ballz. I know the avid hockey fan knows what a s***ty org the Caps are, but the casual fan is going to label Ovechkin as spoiled, and wanting more money, when in all actuallity he will want a shot at the cup! Friggin' caps. If you are not going to make an effort to make your team better (ie Caps, Preds, etc.) you should lose your draft position in the next draft and everyone else moves up as you pick last!!!

    Blues Sign Kariya

    I have been a fan of Paul since he was a black bear, except the year he was an Avalanche. Having said that, he would have fit in with the wings nicely. A developed team with some young guys fighting for positions. A team of veterans that are on the cusp of winning a cup. Now, in St Louis, that is another story. He will be expected to be the main option, which he has never been really good at. In Anaheim he almost always had some one to defer to. He had one year where he led them to the SCF, (the coming back to life on the ice year), other than that he will float around looking to unleash that potent shot, not play a ton of d, and doesn't really help in the development of young players. He had to go there to be with his brother. Does anyone know which brother they signed?

    Rafalski a Red Wing: 5-years, $30-million

    I think the young guys will get a chance to step up, and if they need some one they will save room.
