    Steve Ott signs 1 year, $800k deal with Detroit

    "To be honest with you Ive waited for this moment ever since I was drafted," Ott said. "Ive always wanted to be a Detroit Red Wing. Its my childhood team that I always grew up admiring with the teams and runs that they had with Steve Yzerman and the rest leading the way. It has always been a dream to wear the winged wheel and now that this has all come together this is the most exciting contract I have ever signed." http://redwings.nhl.com/club/m_news.htm?id=888384

    Oh I agree.. That's what I meant by "trying to play it calm." Lots of time until the season starts..

    Khan: "#RedWings Ken Holland said roster pretty much set for start of season. A little under cap after factoring in what RFAs will cost." Maybe just trying to play calm, obviously there's time, but doesn't look like that D trade is coming anytime soon.. Hopefully that'll bring the price down

    Ew. Not a fan of Ott but he does bring us some physicality. There has to be a trade coming right???

    Thomas Vanek signs 1 year, $2.6m deal with Detroit

    Dunno if it's been mentioned but Vanek is also right handed so that's a small bonus I suppose

    25 year old winger, used to be Brown U's captain, played in Albany in the AHL last year putting up 54 points in 71 games his first full year in the league. Basically a low risk prospect signing http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=62740

    Low risk, hopefully high reward and we have the space. Hope he finds his scoring touch again

    Low risk.. Hopefully he can find some kind of scoring touch again.
  10. but we can spend around 5 million over the cap with Franzen and Vitale on LTIR.. So technically 7.5 but we still have around 12.5 to spend

    Alexander Radulov: Wings on short-list of desired teams

    Radulov specifically wanted to go to Montreal according to LeBrun.. Was probably just using other teams to get more money out of them.

    Lebrun: Montreal and Detroit weren't the only 2 teams in on Radulov. Several teams. and a few 2-year offers on the table but Radulov wanted Montreal

    @generalfanager: #TBLightning have $45.12M locked in for 2017-18 w/ 6F/4D/0G, in a year where Johnson, Palat, Drouin, Sustr, Vasilevsky + 10 others are RFA. Good job so far but Yzerman does still has his work cut out for him

    Weber and PK on the same team! Yannick Weber to Nashville
  15. Agreed. He can be moved away or even just down the lineup and used on the PK/PP some still if he gets passed up by two other centers.
  16. The more I read about Nielsen, the more i like him.. The term obviously isn't great but that's free agency for ya. Hopefully holland isn't done.
