That would be ok too. Having character guys like Malts and keeping their game up down with the younger guys is a win as well. Its an interesting thing with Malts because we all obviously love what he has done and in person he is just a great guy but he has no place but what we are speaking of. That goal in the Ottawa game was legit though lol. Big Z could watch Hank Z. LOVE IT! Also think that we need his faceoff skills as well. 60 or so percentage in the circle is fine with me especially with how we were embarrassed there way too often this past season which has been a staple for us for so long. I still love what Asham would bring as well as Winchester and Boll. These 4 are who I have wanted since looking at the lists. So we shall just see.

I am quite alright with that. With Comerica and the new Wings arena all within a city block and not to mention the awesome yet overpriced Hockeytown Cafe. I am still of the opinion to put the new arena right where Tiger Stadium stood. Its right off 75 and you could see it perfectly as you pass on the expressway and also can build around the great old time bars down there (ie. Nemo's which is one of my faves, Hoots, and add many more). Just spitballin though.

As am I. It would be a terrific motivational signing (with last year's happenings we may not need anymore) and if at the right price... Get it done. He will have to take an incredible discount and I just have a sneaking suspicion we are bringing Malts back as Detroit News reported earlier this week.....

Having some amazing flashbacks... But some other guy wears that #13 now. Wears it quite well too I must say.

Osgood HAS to be better this year because Jimmy cannot shoulder another season like this. It is proven quite often what happens to guys who have to go out and play 65-70 games consistently. See Nabokov or Luongo.

Well being on par with Chicago would sure be a good thing with winning the Cup I suppose. Now if they can just learn how to get pass them in playoffs.... Luongo does them no help either. All that talent and for some reason just sievitis like crazy when it matters.

HAHA it was a troll's paradise in here. I got torched for the city I love and live near for calling Versteeg a 2nd liner.

When Nystrom got scooped by the Wild I cringed a tad but this is the list I still had too. So we can only hope we can get one of these fine 4th liners. Any of the 3 I am

Would love Madden on this team. His video game kicks ass. EDIT: Kidding aside he kills penalties very well and would be a good addition to the 4th line. Realizing he is somewhat similar to Helmer but he has proved he can win a Cup or 2, maybe 3? not too sure. Either way sign him up.

Ahhh yes the free agency thread back in its glory... What a fun evening it was last night lol Sad some of my good friends on here had to miss.

And Guiness

Yes, again my troll feedery hopefully. Pssh Hawks "fans"

Hossa locked up long term has done nothing but cripple the nucleus of your team that brought you here. Cup runs can't be predicted and as you state here Ladd/Versteeg types? How do you know thats what you have in the AHL right now? I mean it might seem like its all great on the surface but this was an implosion and waiting another few years or more is not how you sustain any kind of confidence in the league.

Victory of the evening in the LGW world.

Yeah wtf... That one wasn't even thrown into the storm of moves going on earlier. I saw it just didn't care to really say much of it. But.... hmmm wow

That is it, eh? Well quite a climactic ending to the night in the chatroom. The fact I let the troll be fed an enormous amount is my bad, mods. Either way Go Wings, and hopefully this month we get something done Proud to be from the Metro-Detroit area.

Modano will most likely turn that deal down but for below a mill I am completely in for that.

:lol:

No need to make references to players that aren't on your team.

Stan Bowman's vomit looking at all these players leave.

/sarcasm was omitted my bad lol Does he have more skill than Skille?

But who is to fill Brent Sopel's large skates he has left behind... Late in the day

Forcing our hand then. Konopka please and thank you.

Didn't John Scott sing for AC/DC?
