    Players who might be available due to teams cap issues

    Tarasenko is an rfa. Yes, he's really good.. no doubt about that. But that'll still work against him and he won't make close to 8 mill. I'm guessing some sort of 2-3 year deal around 5 mill per

    DRW Free Agents / Salary Thread

    now that I think about it, stafford does seem like a very red wings type of signing. He shouldn't command too much money with his recent down seasons. Are there any rumors of him staying in winn though? I'm sure he'd be a good fit there too.
  3. I would love to see the wings get/develop someone into a wayne simmonds type of player. That would work wonders for this team. If only there were some way we could just trade for him but that's highly doubtful of course.

    Franzen on IR

    Franzen: Poor guy, glad to hear he's doing better. The article also mentions that he'll likely stay on LTIR if he decides to stop playing. As mentioned before, I hope he hangs them up just for his long term health and his children's sake http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/07/wings-franzen-has-no-clue-if-hell-return-to-playing/

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    I know what you mean to an extent.. I only really like longer cellys like the knee slide in important moments of big games. This definitely fits that.. I love the emotion pulk has shown.

    Babcock isn't going to Toronto, imo. It would make absolutely no sense.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    basically, yeah ha. I agree with the notion that this season probably made mantha realize he can't make it to the nhl off talent alone. hopefully he puts a lot of hard work into the off season.

    Mantha responds (quite professionally too) : http://www.mlive.com/griffins/index.ssf/2015/05/red_wings_prospect_anthony_man.html edit: also from that article, holland's thoughts on Mantha's season....

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    Maybe he's just trying to prepare our fan base for a trade sending out Mantha in a.package that brings in Phaneuf & JVR

    Things you would like to see for 2015-16 Season

    Yeah, they're over but when their rentals (vermette & timonen) come off the books, they're under again. Plus the cap is raising and there have been a lot of rumors that a guy like Patrick Sharp could get traded. It'd be awesome to get Seabrook, no doubt. But they'll do everything they can to keep him. As long as he wants to continue to be a Blackhawk, he will be next season.

    Jim Devellano on Mantha's play: "Very disappointing"

    Yeah, trading him after one mediocre season after coming off a broken leg at age 19/20 doesn't sound like the red wings way.. seems like this is more to try to get Mantha working harder in the playoffs and motivating him to work hard this off season. Hopefully he realizes the potential he has.

    WCSF : (8) Calgary Flames vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

    Talk about the easiest road to the conference final. Ducks-hawks would be a great series

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    That was my thought too but, at least early on, he's looking like a potential steal.. Assuming he keeps developing into a solid power forward. The potential is definitely there.

    Agree on the Bert pick. He's looked really solid in a very short amount of time in GR

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know when the trade window opens? Is it when free agency opens?
