    Leftovers

    I don't see how anyone could be opposed to this move, honestly. Cleary is a warrior who busts his ass every night. We're all gonna look back in 10 years and recognize how overrated Z and Dats are and wish we would have sold the farm for Cleary. He's a slam dunk.

    Development Camp Day 1

    I read this as "Lidstrom out with shoulder injury" and I immediately began to panic before realizing: A.) it's the offseason and B.) Nick is retired Old habits die hard.

    Actually having a schedule. A full one. One that starts in October and ends hopefully in June. All is right with the world. *cue Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters'*

    Does anyone feel like the longer he remains unsigned...maybe he doesn't *want* to return to the NHL?

    Wingspan Wednesdays

    The DRW twitter feed was promoting "Wingspan Wednesdays" today--apparently every Wednesday they'll be uploading full episodes of FSD's Wingspan series. There's a bunch up as of today, they're on the Wings' official YouTube page: http://m.youtube.com/user/OfficialRedWings This is awesome for us out of market fans that don't have access to FSD.

    If you have to ask, you've never witnessed the glory that is Dmitry Mironov.

    This lead to an amusing exchange...kept me entertained at work!

    Steve is that you?

    This was my thought as well. As much as I would love to see Stevie come back and play, my gut tells me it's not gonna happen. Can he even play anymore with no knees?

    Smith files for arbitration

    @HeleneStJames: #RedWings D Brendan Smith filed for salary arbitration. Per Ken Holland, Wings will ask for 2-year deal, if it does go to arbitration. Edit: start of the Sammy maneuver?

    Brunner Contract Talks

    . I totally agree. I'm hoping no one else gives it to him, and he realizes that EARNING that top spot should be the way it is done, and where best to do that then on the best team in the world?

    Howard's Winter Classic Equipment

    His phone bill must be astronomical, because he called me to complain about how much he misses Game of Thrones and can't wait for the next season. No mention of his WC gear, but everyone should know that he has a soft spot for Joffrey...

    Your lips to The Hockey God's ears. I really would like him back...

    Brunner Contract Talks

    I like to imagine that every time he gets close to signing a deal, he comes here and reads the boards and sees how much trash we talk and then backs out.

    Smith files for arbitration

    So it wouldn't matter if the club elected to go to arbitration with Andy and Goose because their salaries don't meet the requirements or...? Makes my head spin, but I hope the Wings stand in their heads to get rid of Sammy lol.

    Brunner Contract Talks

    "I made him an offer, Holland said of Brunner, and he didnt like it." From this article: http://m.record-eagle.com/TRE/pm_104245/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=J4aBcGCk I wonder how much of this situation is a naive player putting all his trust in a shark of an agent...? Whatever.
