  1. Rumor has it according to Darren Dreger on Twitter (Yes I know NOT a reliable source though better then Eklund) the Flyers, NYR, San Jose and DETROIT were big players in the trade scenarios.

    The Next Move

    Looks like Weber is going to the Flyers so scratch that idea.
  3. Well this sucks but wow wow wow! Even if I was Kenny I am not sure if I'd do this IMO 14 Years is too long for an athlete in general.

    Red Wings re-sign Quincey: 2-years, $7.55m total, $3.775/yr

    Not bad. I still think we will go get a 6/7th D-Man.

    How bad are we if our roster is now finalized?

    I'd like to remind everyone that we have a surplus of Forward's at the moment so we need to remember that it is possible that Kenny could use one as trade-bait to get some depth. BTW can any of our current prospects become the 7th guy or would we be better off looking in FA?

    Doan staying in PHX 4 yrs $21.2 mill

    I'd rather bring the kids up personally and try to trade one of our surplus forwards for some extra Defense-man depth or a draft pick.

    Phoenix Coyotes "Folding" an Option?

    IMO it would be easier to move them to QC or Seattle. With Winnipeg moving to the West and the Jackets moving to the east.

    Sign Jurcina or Vandermeer and call it a day

    I actually like the idea of signing Vandermeer. Would it replace Lidstrom? NO! But it would get the job done for this up coming season until we can make a run for Weber.

    Brenden Morrow Trade-able?

    Wouldn't be a bad pick up IMO. Certainty better then Semin.
  10. I am glad Semin isn't coming to us. I thought Doan might stay in Phoenix. Plan C is nothing is my guess.....

    Holland waiting for the CBA?

    If anything he should be working on a trade for Yandle.
  12. IllinoisRedWingsFan

    Ken Holland, Post-Scotty Bowman

    I think he has done okay however it hasn't been great. Heck at least were not Edmonton. With that being said regarding the drafts I will withhold judgement on evaluating those until 2013-2014. Regarding this off season who at are you going to do when the two prized picks wanted to go home???? NOTHING! Their has GOT to be a trade soon.

    Matt Carle signs with Tampa Bay: 6-years, $33-million

    Overpayment is written all over this signing IMO. 6 years for $33 Million. IMO he was worth $4 Million AT THE MOST!
  14. IllinoisRedWingsFan

    Is Mike Babcock the issue?

    What a waste of air time. Seriously it was just the thing that Suter and Parise wanted to go home.

    The Ever-Increasing Cap, Ridiculous Contracts, and Hitting

    I do believe the cap is a large problem and it will have to be fixed during the next CBA negotiations. The NHL has a really inflated Cap IMO. They need to do something about it. Regarding the contracts the NHL needs to look at having a limit of them like 7-8 Years. I know the NBA has a 7 Year limit with the salary being around $120 Million IIRC.

    The Next Move

    Let's all wait and see what Kenny does before we call for his head. I think he has something up his sleeve. At least he didn't resign Hudler.

    Twitter Sources Not To Cite

    Whoops wrong thread. Sorry but yes Twitter is kind of like Wikipedia you use caution.

    Jagr signs in Dallas

    Thank God he didn't come here that's all I can say.

    Changing our Image

    I use to be against this 110% but now after losing Suter and Parise I think it is something that should be looked at in the very least. Though we MUST trade for Nash or Ryan and Sign Carle. I think Suter and Parise wanted to play close to home.
  20. IllinoisRedWingsFan

    Ryan Suter agrees to 13-year, $98-mil deal with Wild

    Well I can say one thing At least Kenny DID TRY this year unlike last year. I hope you never win a Cup Suter.
  21. IllinoisRedWingsFan

    G Joey MacDonald asks for trade

    I think either A. He will be put on Waivers or B. Sent back to GR.
  22. IllinoisRedWingsFan

    Jiri Hudler signs with Calgary, 4 years, $4m/year

    Happy Trails Jiri! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XcYsO890YJY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Still no decision from Suter. Speculation abounds.

    I still think we are in the Ryan Suter "Sweepstakes" I really think he is waiting until after Parise announces. Why aren't you seeing Kenny going after any D-man? I think we will be his ultimate destination.
  24. Again people I DO think something is up Kenny's sleeve and I'll tell you why. 1. I find it telling that we didn't sign any D-Man yesterday this means I still think we'll get Suter 2. There HAS GOT to be a trade up his sleeve. He is just waiting until A. He has the parts in place, B. He signs Suter and.or C. Parise is already gone.

    Still no decision from Suter. Speculation abounds.

    I believe they did submit one for both anyway IIRC.
