    Compliance buyout expected to be used on Tootoo

    I believe so. That is also the reason Weiss couldn't be bought out. He probably would have been the guy axed if he were signed prior.

    I would be very happy with Campbell assuming that Florida eats up some of his salary which I don't see why they wouldn't anyways. They are always fighting to get to the cap floor. Trade one of our D prospects, and a draft pick or two.

    Dan Boyle's rights traded to the Islanders…..

    All these people saying we don't need Boyle because that won't win us a cup are like a broken record. Does adding Boyle guarantee us a cup? Obviously no. But what player is really out there that could do that? We have to start somewhere to fill our needs and I think he fills two of this teams needs immediately. Right handed shot....puck moving defenseman. End of story.

    Detroit re-signs Gustavsson 1 yr $1.85 mill

    What's Norm Maracle doing these days?

    Dan Boyle's rights traded to the Islanders…..

    I would assuming he shows interest in signing here. We need a defenseman who can make that first pass out of the defensive zone and Boyle is certainly capable of that. Prices will go up for players if we wait to sign a Niskanen. I'd rather get a guy signed prior to July 1st.

    Tootoo put on buyout waivers Per Mackenzie.

    Dan Cleary may return...sigh

    This is it guys! I knew it was coming soon but it's finally here! This is the sign for the Apocalypse the Bible was referring too! Why else would God let this happen unless this is it! Dan Clearly is the sign guys!

    Don't you guys get it? Mrazek is ripe.....but not over-ripe. He may be ready to play in the NHL but he needs to be over-ready to play in the NHL or something....my head hurts.

    Ales Hemsky's rights are being shopped by Ottawa now that he rejected a 3 year 10 million dollar deal per Lebrun.

    If it's a 2 way contract we can bury him in the AHL and I'm fine with it. If it's a one way deal I'm burning this motha down!

    Why?.....no wait I'm not getting dragged into another "is Howard a good goalie" debate.

    Wings sign Tomas Nosek to 2 year entry level deal

    If our European scouts see something in this kid I'm going to trust them. They have had enough success to warrant my respect. You can never have too many throws at the bull's eye. Good signing!

    Richards is not what we need. He is more of a set-up man. He averages about 20 some goals a season. We need a sniping winger to put with Datsyuk.

    Trading up?

    "Possible" franchise player for our Captain? There have been plenty of 1st overall picks that didn't turn out to be what we thought they would. I'll keep Z thank you.

    Trading up?

    Most likely because with the Panthers, prospects are thrust into starting roles before they understand the game and make mistakes, lose confidence and eventually fade out. One of the reasons we are so successful is because our prospects are prepared and confident when they finally get starting roles.

    Spezza Requests Trade

    I'm going to assume we are not in that list which means we have a 1 in 20 chance of trading for Spezza.....so your telling me there's a chance!

    Spezza Requests Trade

    I can as well. It's actually a fair trade straight up and it solves both their problems. That being said I hope it doesn't happen because I would love either player.

    Spezza Requests Trade

    According to puck daddy, St Louis, Anaheim, Vancouver, and Nashville have inquired about a trade.

    Spezza Requests Trade

    I hope Holland is getting some sort of package together and at least trying to make something happen. Sick of him just "kicking tires".

    Never going to happen.........never going to happen.

    I'm confused...isn't this thread about Boyle? I haven't read anything about him in like 2 pages lol

    2014 SCF : (2) The Big Apple vs. (3) Hollywood

    I've been to about 5 games and play in a hockey league with a ton of kings fans and they all have been the same. They act like that one Championship makes them the greatest franchise ever.

    2014 SCF : (2) The Big Apple vs. (3) Hollywood

    Man I hate the Kings. Coming from a Wings fan that relocated to California, Kings fans are some of the biggest ******** in the NHL. I've been to many away arenas in the NHL and I've never had as many problems as I have at the Staples Center. All I have heard about for 2 years is their last Stanley Cup and they won't let anyone forget this Stanley Cup either.

    I think Smith will have a similar path that Ericsson had. Early in Ericsson's career he had flashes of brilliance laced with terrible defensive mistakes. He eventually learned the game and is now a solid defenseman. I think Smith has a bigger learning curve then we would like but I think the talent and potential is there. Give him one more full season and I don't think we will be discussing trading him.

    Just like half of the Wings team. I think he is worth the risk. A winger with a great shot and a proven goal scorer with every team he has been on. Gaborik with Datsyuk would be salivating.
