Carle for Hudler and a pick. I've said this before, but I shall state it yet once again. That's a good deal for us.

Yeah, he still needs time in GR and be used as that callup if need be during the season. It's most likely Kindl's spot and not sure if this story about Ericsson turning down a 2 mill a year deal is accurate considering I have seen no sources whatsoever, just hearsay. Regardless, we are making a deal for someone this off season whether it be through trade or FA, most like trade. We still need to see some more from this kid and it's very unlike the Wings to bring a player up so early.

Yeah for sure, he should find a way to bring Ginger's girl here for like public relations or something. Him? Nahhhhh

But it's what makes the off season fun, Buzz Killington

So, hockey and such.... Remember the topless girl in the Canucks crowd? Man, that was cool.

Dale Hunter was always an absolute gentleman as well.

It's a definite weak argument on my part but I just really don't want Campbell on the team. We are a puck possession team and that would add a puck possessing dman but there is just something about Campbell's game that I've never really liked. Oh well, I don't make the decisions, so we shall see.

hmmmmm..... detnews

Yup.

And yet, still better than Hudler. If we were to sit here and project Franzen's point totals all year what would you say to us consistently?? You're going in circles about what your actual point is here.

Being objective about Hudler is impossible for you, though. It's a Hudler thread, but if you want we can all band together and bring all your quotes from "non-Hudler" threads where he is still somehow dissected by you. Don't get bent out of shape because we are calling you on the same old nonsense. It's truly unwarranted.

And... so was the rest of the damn team. Name one player that didn't have an above average series against Phoenix. I mean, Salei even notched a goal and looked good. B-B-B-But Hudler had that stretch back in December where he was Christ in hockey skates, right? We are provided nothing from you b-b-b-but Hudler love, stop.

I'd appreciate.... if Ericsson took a walk

Just some minor things to consider about the man: We do cut into players quick, but maybe just maybe there is always more to the story.

Just toooo many changes and not the necessary ones really. The link with Bert is cute and all but that is not worth shelling out 3+ mill to bring him in when that can go to a much younger Bieksa. Richards wouldn't be a bad thing at all, just not the type of player I would like here. I actually want Brooks Laich but realize we would need to throw him a lot as well. I know what Hannan gets paid by the Caps but would not see Kenny giving him an increase as he doesn't jump out that much to me. We have to spend what we have here wisely and maybe prepare to see the big splash happen come next off season and try to nab a Suter. We shall see.

No offense, but I wouldn't pay any of these guys these contracts. Richards is pass first and left-handed shot and we need the 2 other things. Shoot first right-handed shot. I don't understand how Scott Hannan is a damn near 5 million dollar defenseman and can't see Kenny giving him a fat deal such as this, it's just unjustifiable. Jovo is on the downspin of his career and would bring nothing we would need to the blue line whatsoever. He looked absolutely awful in the playoffs and got torched more often than not. I'd even go far enough to say I want Ericsson more than him at this point Giggy, just never liked him and also see 1 mill being a bit too cheap for him. Just my thoughts.

Eklund said blueadams line combos have an E5 chance at happening...

Yeah, the usual The person below me is corny.

Yeah, this just hammered it home just a little bit more about what an amazing guy and player we are losing. I just really hope we can keep an individual such as him around for many many years to mentor players like Smith (though Lids is pretty good for that too). We will always welcome #28 back with open arms and stand applaud his amazing contributions to this team. Love ya Raf!

Still wondering if he takes an executive position or something along those lines.

f*** Jagr, sign Selanne But really, defense is necessary.

I know I know, just hopefully the kid that the torch is being passed on to. Bieksa or Wisniewski will definitely fill a bit of a void. A Helm sweater could be in the works for myself soon.

John Labatt Centre has to be one of the coolest arena names ever. I would love to do this but can't really afford the gas plus tickets, I know wah wah, but priorities Should still be a grand time, though.

Just an idea
