I hear 2021 is going to be a deep draft year.... they might do it

This. What a game. Tatar and Nyq worked so well together. I'm so stoked for their future

I don't think I'd push for this or be stoked or anything but, I wonder what it would take to get Dion if Toronto ate half of his cap (I think that's the maximum allowed under the cba?).... at 3.5 he's worth it, IMO

Pav and Hank will retire as career red wings, as they should.

Just read this too. Whether the wings make a deal for him or not, it sounds like they're dealing him no matter what. My guess is he goes to the pens at the trade deadline for too much then signs in detroit next off season. Although I hope we get him at the deadline. This article makes it sound like a 2nd or 3rd and a mid range prospect probably gets the job done. Should be interesting.

http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/09/report-bertuzzi-expected-to-join-sens-ahl-affiliate-next-week/ The article says it's a 25 game tryout. Good luck, Bert!

I sure hope so! I'd love to see what he's got. Hopefully babs puts him with pav

Wowwwww, that Boston one is bad.. I'm embarrassed for him. Knock it off, nyq. I'd agree that the new jersey one just looked like he was leaning too hard and caught an edge. The Boston dive should've been the warning, imo. Since the new jersey play was a warning though, I wonder how many other players across the league have warnings.

PLEASE don't play down to their level, that is all. Wings should win this one easy. LGW!

YES. I'll take one JVR please and thank you!

aww, a sad day indeed. capgeek solved many nhl arguments over the years for my friends and I.... hope he gets well soon.

Seguin is one of my favorite non wings.. Now I like him even more. Thanks for that.

Happy Holidays to all! (Hopefully Santa brought the wings' shootout lineup a new set of hands each)

yea must be a typo.. that makes more sense. although i'd rather see weiss switch with helm personally.

don't forget lucic & torres.... fights, good. hard hits, great. the cheap s*** though, needs to go. I'm not saying the others you've listed are model players by any means.. but I do feel like I hear scott/lucic/torres much more than others in terms of cheap shots like this. I think he should get a game or two.

"@DetroitRedWings: Lines: Z-Pav-Abby Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco Mule-Nyquist-Helm Weiss-Glendening-Miller" hmm interesting lines

at first I thought this said the isles will win 6-0 in the shootout and thought "damn, that'd be impressive.."

The edminton sun seems to think so http://www.edmontonsun.com/2014/12/17/oilers-could-be-positioned-to-woo-mike-babcock-if-he-doesnt-re-sign-with-red-wings

looks like 30% Also, seeing that Paul Maurice used to coach him in Carolina.... so he's a known commodity. That could've had something to do with it.

There's definitely a need there for d-men, that's for sure. (edit: source) http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/18/jets-lose-yet-another-d-man-rule-stuart-out-til-february/ They might settle for a pick rather than moving a bottom 6 player. I'm sure Kenny is looking into it.

I'm a fan of having cup patches on my jerseys so I'd go with the second one personally.

They'll need to get a high profile player or a package containing a couple top prospects/high upside young guys in return for hall to get fans excited about the team imo. I don't see the wings willing to trade enough to land him. But damn, Z-pav-hall sounds so good.

I agree that Jimmy hasn't been great in shootouts but the couple shootouts I've seen have all been pretty nice goals.. I think I'm on the side of scoring is a bigger problem. Think we need to mix up who's shooting. I'd like to see jurco get a shot over Z. Nyq, pav, jurco.. Hell, give sheahan a shot. Maybe even Weiss when he's healthy. I just hope babs is spending some time letting them practice shootouts even tho he's against it. If it's costing us points, it's worth practicing imo.

Bettman persuades Babock & he goes to coach/gm Edmonton. Toronto is outraged by the news (they already had dibs on babs) and begins to riot.. Vancouver, not wanting to be outdone, would try to outriot Toronto. Both of them trying to top the other eventually causes Canada to implode. All of the hockey players get out in time and are deemed free agents by the league. The best players sign with the worst teams that are left. All goes according to plan and bettman finally has the parity he's always dreamed of. Babcock emerges from the ashes better than ever and coaches the wings to three straight Stanley Cups. ....and then I wake up

I'm not surprised. put everyone on the block, replace your awful scouting, find a new coaching staff.... they need to completely start over imo
