    How much do the Wings need another defenseman?

    My thoughts exactly. And as far as the trade goes, it's probably not far off from what they'd want (and deserve) for him. Though id be upset to lose nyq, and I think it should include 2 f & 1 d instead of the opposite, I think I'd go for it. It would be worth it/make an immediate impact and the wings prospect pool is so deep that they'll lose several prospects within the next few years or so, one way or another anyway.

    while he might not necesarily be available right now, I do remember weber wanting a NTC/NMC or whatever (back when the prednecks matched the offer sheet) and they didn't give him one (here's his contract: http://capgeek.com/player/1042) implying that he could potentially be available in the near future.. it'd be interesting to see what happened if he got put on the trade block.

    Franzen: "I am not a goal scorer"

    True. Which is why I expect Abby to start on the top line.. Which I wouldn't mind but if mule could fix his fortitude problem, he'd best benefit the team from in front of the net with pav and z

    Franzen: "I am not a goal scorer"

    yeah, i'd like that. i like mule in front of the net. good size/decent hands.. if he stays there all year, he'll have a great year.

    Franzen: "I am not a goal scorer"

    in an nhl.com 30 in 30 article (http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=680048) they say that they think the second line will be alfie-weiss-nyq.. not sure how i feel about it yet as far as comparing it to other lineup options goes but that would more than likely land mule on the third line. and for a guy who only plays as good as the people around him (imo), idk if the third line is the best spot for him.. then again, combined with tatar and helms speed, he might do good there.

    Change to goalie pads.

    Then the nba would be watchable! Haha
  9. Thanks ha. I went to copy the tweet but my lunch break ended right after I posted that..
  10. Alfredsson will wear #11 in detroit (according to detroit red wings social media)

    Change to goalie pads.

    a basketball takes up about 60% of the net
  12. being a michigan native, he might just miss it at home.. wonder how much (if at all) kesler wants to play in detroit.

    Ilya Kovalchuk announces retirement

    i wouldn't be surprised. and i'm sure they'll recover (teamwise).... yeah, kovy's a great offensive player but the devils have one of the best goalie tandems in the league and have some pretty good younger talent imo

    One player to put us over the top

    if we don't have the assets required to get vanek.. then we sure as hell don't have the ones to get pietrangelo. though i'd absolutely love to get him in the winged wheel. he's going to be one of the best dmen for years to come

    Ilya Kovalchuk announces retirement

    agreed. they're probably extremely happy to lose that god awful contract in the long run. if they manage to make the playoffs this year, i'm sure they won't be upset about losing kovy at all.

    Ilya Kovalchuk announces retirement

    they are now!
  18. That's what Tatar is there for Tatar-helm-nyq = shot-speed-hands
  19. no, he is not considered a rookie or eligable for the calder. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calder_Memorial_Trophy

    New enemies, whom do you fear the most?

    ^ my thoughts exactly. and not that I "fear" them, but, boston is going to be one of the teams to beat. wings/b's will be neck and neck til the last week of the season for the division crown.
  21. agreed, we'd be looking great if it werent for sammy ha. i'd say kenny made up for last off season with this one though.

    NHL 30 in 30 covers the Wings today

    i'd say helm is at least as much of an "x-factor" as jimmy williams.. helm being healthy and back to playing how he used to would be a huge plus.
