Why would we want another David Clarkson? One good year? No thanks

Are they better for the singings today? YES they are. More competition from the kids, more insurance for injuries. No prospects lost. Money comes and goes.
So far the Wings have gotten better.

We have the salary and it's 1 year so doesn't affect future contracts. Great deal!

Apparently Kenny found his jewels!
Well done! Welcome Mike Green

Meh. He'd be a depth signing. Still good on the PP. And waaaaay better than Cleary.

Hopefully any number available other than 90.
EDIT: beat to the punch.
I'm really surprised Green would accept shorter term. Good signing by Kenny. Hopefully Green stays healthy and this turns around some of the Wings UFA luck.
The icing on the cake for this deal would be ditching Kindl.

90 should be available, it's worked out well for the last 2 FA signings we gave it to.

I see zero chance Quincey gets dealt ... I'd personally rather trade kindl/smith right now and give ouellet marchenko some games
Kids are gonna have to get in some games , Quincey will probably be gone after this season , and when some kids are ready to step up and take a bigger role I'd expect Ericsson to be the next to be gone

Hell yeah. I've liked green since he entered the league and the wings need scoring from the defense real bad. Love the signing.

wow, I can't believe he agreed to only a 3yr deal, seems like a really good situation for us.

OK, first there isn't ever going to be a new Lidstrom.
Second, I'm sure he has an excellent idea of what the players can and can't do.

I just hope they get rid of the stupid no look drop pass that is way too predictable.

Agree 100%, unless we can land a top pairing dman in/entering their prime.

Yeah, because Mike Babcock loves those three guys. Might as well thrown Kindl in there too. That'll really sweeten the pot.
Any potential trade for Phaneuf went right out the window the second Babs went to Toronto.

I see the Hawks letting Sharp walk and/or trading Hossa before anything happening with Seabrook. They have young players who can fill wing rolls. Not so much at D.

For his sake I hope he retires. Concussions are dangerous when you've had as many as he has and another one could quite possibly cost him his life. No game is worth that.

Hank and Emma had sex. I'm not sure which one I'm more jealous of...

I really liked that Kenny talked about not being happy about the early playoffs exits the past few years. For that reason he said that's why he didn't want to sign babs to more than 5 years which is an excellent point.

Datsyuk doesn't like hand me downs, on the other hand, I recently found out that Babcock does; things that are in despair and need a lot of work

Nope, he regressed to his old ways again, big time.

I don't disagree with you, and while size is a definite need. I think the Wings really badly need 2 d men and a dependable scoring winger. I'd probably prefer a top scorer to a D man. I'd also prefer for Holland to get all his shopping done in the summer. Since other then this past year, he's traditionally passive at the deadline.

I think of guys that are still under contract. I see a trade as our best scenario, especially for teams that are cap heavy. Certainly we have some young talent and some depth that we could shed to get a guy that isn't happy ( or the organization is not happy with) I am thinking of Eric staal who is only 30 and is slowly dying in Carolina. I would also love to have a guy like Wayne Simmons from Philly.
We need to address the blue line first though.....not sure if the Dion trade has any merit ( for Weiss going that way with Smith) but something needs to happen back there. I always really, really liked Tyler Myers and I feel like we missed the boat on him.

Damn, there goes my Howard and Ericsson for Jordan Eberle fantasy.

Ok boys.....
Game 7- no one ( except us Red Wing Loyal) thought you would be here.....so BE HERE! Despite the odds, the bull crap calls, the ridiculous suspension and every other happenstance that has occurred, win this game! Bettman and NHL seem to have already decided Tampa is moving on- I don't think so. You got this! I believe!
LETS GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
