    Should any of #91, #13, #40, #30 be retired? Poll/Discussion

    Win without Lidstrom? Did you watch that playoff? We wouldn't have made it out of the 1st round. We were down 0-2 to the Canucks and it was Lidstrom who scored from center ice on Cloutier to turn that game and series around. That was a pivotal point in that cup run.

    I look for players that changed the game when I think about retiring their number. I think the only one that fits the mold is Fedorov. He was a big part of the Russian infusion into the NHL. He was a role model for probably every Russian player since he played his first game as a wing. I would feel comfortable retiring his number but as much as I like the other options, I would say no.

    Yea I bet GR was happy we signed 4 forwards in free agency. They should be stacked this year for sure.

    Dear lord I knew it was bad but we have less than half the 2nd to last place team as far as trades. Holland has grown quite the (insert lady part) over the years.

    Wings file for abitration with Peter Mrazek

    If only they could have made rules to not allow Roy to wear an 4XL jersey back in the day.

    We can't have 2 goalies over 5 mill. I'm hoping its settled between 4-5 mill.

    Ye but I'd rather see Ott on the 4th line because toughness is something we desperately lack. Miller's job can be passed on to someone else in the lineup. The Helm signing was the worst of the off-season.

    Both lineups have issues. We absolutely need to make a trade. AA has to be in the lineup. And so does Mantha but I don't want to see Mantha on the 4th line. Especially with him having issues with confidence. He needs to be in a position to succeed. The more I look at the lineup, the angrier I get that we re-signed Helm and Miller. I think we would have been better off in the long run without them.
  11. Re-signing Helm and Miller and delaying the youth movement.......wait.

    He obviously can't keep them all, so some will be moved. But he will keep the nucleus which he has already started signing Stammer and Hedman to long term deals. This year is their best year to win it all. The time is now for Tampa.

    Not sure. That's what this article says. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2016/07/02/detroit-red-wings-search-defenseman/86644936/

    Much rather keep Tatar if we trade one but all the articles say we would be more likely to trade him over Nyquist cuz he is due for a 4.5 mill contract. I say who cares. Keep the better player.

    Who do you have as the top 5 Wings of all time..

    McCarty, Draper, Maltby, Kocur, Probert

    Yea as much as I want to see a trade now, I don't see anything imminent. Teams don't need to make a trade right now that the draft and the hustle and bustle of free agency is over. They might as well wait till training camp and see who is making the team and who isn't and then trade. I'm preparing for the current team to go into training camp.

    The other dilemma is Sproul, Ouellet, and Jensen are out of waiver options. So we need to make a trade or risk losing prospects for nothing.

    Who should get A?

    Maybe them giving it to Abby will be the kick in the butt he needs to start earning his paycheck.

    I agree. There is a reason he is unsigned still. If we could swing for Trouba we could actually have a legitimate team.

    It's clearly Cleary....

    I wish we could trade Ouellet, Pulks/Jurco, and a first for Fowler. Relieves some of the logjam at forward and gives up a defenseman who can play the puck and the point on the PP.

    Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

    Yea I don't see how this can be the team that we go into the season with. Holland is so protective of assets so I don't see us losing players for nothing. There has to be a trade and my guess is it will be Fowler. And I don't buy when he says he is done. Just like I didn't buy when he said he wasn't optimistic to trade Datsyuk's contract.

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

    Best deal of the day the more I look at it. If he can swing a deal for a defenseman I would say this offseason was a success despite the bad luck with Stamkos. If we go into the season with the same defense then he gets a C-
