    Wings Attempting to Re-sign Cleary

    There's no room for you Cleary, gtfo.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    1. Vinny wanted at least 5yrs, we signed Alfredsson for 1. 2. It wasn't Holland or the Wings losing Brunner, it's obvious he wanted to see where he could end up on other teams and what they'd pay him. Instead of waiting on him, we made moves to make our team better while we have someone coming up perfectly capable of taking his roster spot for less money.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    Sounds like we wanted Brunner, he (or his agent from the sounds of it) didn't want to sign before noon and we moved forward instead of waiting on him.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    Shame, Brunner was a great guy and a solid hockey player. He'll do well wherever he goes but we can't lose Tatar.

    is anyone happy right now?

    Brunner could still sign here. Either way, Tatar is as good and could be better than Brunner.

    I'm a lot happier this offseason than last offseason that's for sure and I was one of the only people that was "okay" with last offseason.

    We are better than we were last year. Alfredsson and Weiss are better than Filppula and Cleary.

    Bobby Ryan to Ottawa

    Wasn't Silverberg pretty good this season?

    Filppula to Tampa 5 yr $5 million

    At least Yzerman got him. We'll see him in our division quite a bit and it'll be weird seeing him in blue but it was obvious he wanted out of Detroit.

    who's on their way out of Detroit

    I don't see Abdelkader coming off the top line at the start of the season. If it's not working, he moves, but as it sits Datsyuk wants him on that line and he'll be there.

    Good call, I looked at that 3 times and knew I was forgetting someone haha. He goes into the 2nd line, Tatar to the third, Bertuzzi to the fourth and that leaves Eaves out. Tatar, Helm, and Nyquist on a line sounds incredible.

    Eh, not saying how it should be but that's what I see happening unless they can move Emmerton for something.

    Nick Kypreos ‏@RealKyper22s #Redwings not done as they have interest in #Penguins Brenden Morrow .

    Z - Dats - Abdelkader Franzen - Weiss - Tatar Nyquist - Helm - Bertuzzi Miller - Emmerton - Eaves Andersson Samuelsson Tootoo Andersson can still play in the AHL, so I think he's down there if Helm can play. If not, he's the third line center again.

    Wings sign Stephen Weiss, 5-years, $24.5m

    Alyonka Larionov ‏@AlyonkaLarionov1m Red Wings mean business! #werkit

    Wings sign Stephen Weiss, 5-years, $24.5m

    Great move, can't wait to see what he can do here.
  17. skyphoenix

    Stephen Weiss on his way?

    $4.9mil a season. f*** yeah.

    Stephen Weiss on his way?

    Brunner isn't a Swede.
  19. skyphoenix

    Stephen Weiss on his way?

    Yeah sorry, but if Clarkson and Clowe are making 5mil a year, I will gladly pay 6mil for Weiss.
  20. skyphoenix

    Stephen Weiss on his way?

    Jim Matheson ‏@NHLbyMatty2m Weiss is going to be $6 mil a year signing for Wings or Blues
  21. And then they can defer them to next year's salary. It doesn't effect this season.
  22. For 7 years at over $5mil? f*** that.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    I read that he's had offers but that's all I've heard. Makes me think he really just wanted to see what he's worth.
  24. Look at the list of FAs next year, this one year deal is going to look great rather than spending more money for more term on someone who won't match what could be available next season. Not to mention we'll have some more of our young guys ready to move up.
  25. At least we aren't Toronto. What the hell are they doing today??
