St. Michael (the Red Wing)

Complete shocker indeed....

I agree with you 100%. You know if somehow he does turn it around maybe Kenny might re-sign him who knows? But also if this upcoming season he performs like you said like the 07-08 Hudler, his trade value will go up and things could get interesting. I just don't think Hudler fits on our team anymore but anyone wearing the Winged Wheel has my support 100%, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the best from Huds this up-coming season.

Ok. Let's be realistic when I said 40 points. Maybe I was thinking more like 20 goals and 20 assists compared to his 10 goals and 27 assists. Still the same number basically I know but like everyone or myself thought he would/should have put the puck in the net more. Maybe 50-60 points is more realistic I don't know. Funny thing is I don't really remember him having that many assists. Still his cap hit isn't worth it. He's small, weak with the puck, gets knocked around all over the ice. I mean obviously his trade value isn't worth much right now. I don't mind him except for the fact that he jumped ship to the KHL when we needed him and then said "oh" I think I'll come back now and play in NHL.

Well said. I like this and I'm hoping Commy finds his top hockey form!

I don't mind him so at the right price, sure

No thanks imo.

You know if we keep Huds and he actually gets around 40 points this season I'm going to bite my tongue. Thing is I highly doubt Kenny is re-signing him next off-season.

Pretty sure Nashville wanted to move Franson for a long time and couldn't find any suitors. Why in the world would they want Lebda though is beyond me. Kinda seems like a screwing by Burke.

No one's worth 10 million a year including Vinny...sad

What's the problem? Ericsson - hasn't shown potential but a decent young d-man. D-Men in the league are getting their pay tbh. Gagne - good scorer maybe a sniper "maybe" but injury prone.

Caps have had a scary team the last three to four seasons and nothing to show for it really. BUT this is a great signing for them imo. Sharks and the Caps seem quite similar imo tbh. Nothing to show for in the playoffs.

I was thinking the same thing however, Huds might have more value tbh. Hudler is a bit younger and more so-called potential. Can't believe I'm supporting Hudler. lol So we should maybe get more than Nabby.

Wouldn't mind him back at the right price of course. Meaning cheap but who knows. I don't see Osgood coming back either. If we don't sign anyone you gotta think Kenny might try and trade for someone at some point. But God knows when....

Crazy talk. That won't happen and it's a waste of money since it would be a trade most likely for a 4th-7th round pick if that. No thanks.

Not surprised it's the NYR at all and I wish them all luck!

Wonderful name Weezer and band!! Also I agree with you, having Stamkos on this team would be OUTOFTHISWORLD. But has always during this time of year it's called pipedreaming

Well I think that's true to a certain extent BUT Helm, Abs, and Ericsson are expected to be a lot better next season. I'm pipe dreaming maybe on this but Helm I think can get somewhere around 40 points next season he had 32 this last season. Abs had 19 points last season which I believe he can get somewhere between 20-30 next season. Ericsson had 15 points last season. lol. I think he can do a whole lot better as I think a lot of people would say the same. I don't think he's capable of putting up 50 points but somewhere over 20-30 points if not more I think is realistic for Ericsson. But on a whole yeah our team is going to get bounced by the Sharks again this upcoming season I reckon. We need to get rid of Huds and find someone who can actually produce to replace him. Looking forward on seeing Mursak and Emmerton in the lineup but that's merely going to be eneryg based. So yeah I think things are the same we'll see. Always expect the unexpected I suppose

Can't believe Calgary is in the mix. Supposedly they have made an "legitmate" offer. lol. I wouldn't mind us signing him short term but people don't get it. Richards isn't looking to sign a one year two year deal. He wants something long and hefty. So there's 0% chance he signs with us. No one can get it through there heads Richards will not be a Wing. Major pipedreaming

Actually it's not that bad of a signing. Commy plays tough and physical hockey. He should be a ***** to play against if he keeps his head on straight and just plays mean tough hockey. Good signing, not great but with this year's ufa's it's not too bad. I'm changing my tune on this. Maybe also Kenny has some surprise up his sleeve, time will tell. I think Commy is going to show Columbus how he can really play when we play them. I also think he's and upgrade over Salei. One year and if it doesn't work out it doesn't work out but if it does, kudos all around!

This makes no sense. I thought Babs and Mike didn't like eachother. Booooooo Wasted money if you ask me...

Any word or rumors on the latest Stamkos situation? Obviously Philly now isn't going to throw and offer sheet at him...

Not surprised no one wants him. lol. I mean if he's that big of distraction in our locker room ffs get rid of him. Obviously we aren't goint to give him away for free but doesn't even seem like a bag of pucks right now will do it. Sooner we get rid of Hudler the better imo...

Good luck to him indeed always liked him so here's hoping he makes the best of this....

Wow Talbot jumped ship. Can't believe this. Who's next?

Muahhahahahahhaha what a slAP in the face to the Pens. Signs with the Philly for more money. Not surprised by this and I'm glad Jagr is NOT ON OUR TEAM. Thank you Kenny for not getting this done
