Bring Back The Bruise Bros

Modano's not coming here.Time to focus on what we really need.

Work ethic and effort is a problem.My guess is he'll s*** the bed and go back to the KHL.He has immense offensive capabilities,but he's lazy as hell.

I can't imagine Patrick Eaves being sent down.Most likely a one way contract.

I believe Chipchura is a fairly decent faceoff guy and has some speed.Can't say the same for Parros,and Voros has some offensive skill.

My link

Wisniewski is not an upgrade over Stuart.I'm thinking Drew Miller,Mattias Ritola and Derek Meech to Anaheim for Troy Bodie and a pick

I've always thought of Modano as a quiet guy,like Stevie in the sense that he doesn't say a whole lot and let's his skills do the talking...

I didn't realize each member of a 4th line have to score 20 goals each to have it considered successful.As long as they sacrifice the body as much as possible to block shots and play solid defensively and hit hard as well as "keep the flies off",its a successful 4th line in my book.

Yeah,i didn't really understand the Lydman signing.They overpaid for a guy who isn't horrible,but he's far from something special.Eminger's cap hit is $1.125 Million.

Anaheim,like always,is gonna be a very feisty team next year.Their fourth line is gonna be Voros-Chipchura-Parros

Same here.I tried getting excited for Modano coming to Detroit but he's just plain not what we need.Time to retire,Mike.

His average salary will keep us a good distance away from him.

I wasn't suggesting him as Captain.Someone mentioned Legwand was the only career Pred left.

Modano isn't what we need.We need to get more snarl.There's still plenty of guys out there that will fill the void.I'm sick of hearing about Modano.

Someone will pick him up,douchebag or not.He's a solid player.Florida seems very short on players signed for next year,maybe they'll throw an offer at him?

The 3 of those guys can't win a championship by themselves.Bench scoring is crucial in playoffs so you have to have solid role players to go along with the superstars.LeBron always said he loved Cleveland and he'd do anything to bring a championship to the city.It was a total cheapshot what he did.Waited it all out and put it on a 1 hour show on ESPN???What a ******* disgrace.I'm glad Dan Gilbert stood up for the city and the organization becuase it seems like these days,people are more and more afraid to say what they think.

He'd be a solid pickup for anyone.

It would be fitting for him to end his career in Minnesota where it began,but they basically have their roster set.

Looks more and more like Dan Carcillo could be available guys

I always had the thought of him going back to Minnesota in the back of my mind.The Wild don't have many spots left for a forward: Guillaume Latendresse Martin Havlat Antti Miettinen James Sheppard Andrew Brunette Mikko Koivu Chuck Kobasew Kyle Brodziak Cal Clutterbuck Brad Staubitz Warren Peters Eric Nystrom Not sure what Pierre Marc Bouchard's deal is with his concussion,but it doesn't appear that Minnesota would have space for Modano.

He's got the potential to be a big hitter.He's got quite the mean streak,but he's like Ericsson,it only rears its head once in a while.

Agreed.There's simply too many roster spots.I think we need some snarl rather than Modano,not downgrading Mike but he simply isn't what we need right now,in my opinion.

I'm eager to see what Smith,Callahan,Ferraro,and Kindl can do!!

I actually wouldnt mind seeing a Kronwall-Hjalmarsson pairing here.Never would happen.But it'd be sweet

Isn't Martin Erat a career Predator too?Not suggesting he should be captain,just saying.
