    Our Power Play Now

    The problem with having Stuart there is he's a left-handed shot. Samuelsson isn't. Beleive me, I'd love for Stuart and Kronwall to run the second unit but having a right-handed shot on the point gives the Wings more options.

    Our Power Play Now

    Pretty sure Hossa will be on the second unit unless they really need to score. Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Lidstrom-Rafalski Hudler-Franzen-Hossa Kronwall-Samuelsson

    ESPN's Scott Burnside's Instant Analysis

    Hossa's up there defensively. Not quite as good as Hank and Pavel, IMO, but playing for the Wings could change that.

    Ken Holland on the Fan590

    According to Snapshots, Holland will be on WWJ 950 soon.

    Marian Hossa a Red Wing, 1yr, $7.45m

    I think the Wings had the offseason won before they signed Hossa -- which is scary.

    Marian Hossa a Red Wing, 1yr, $7.45m

    Still in disbelief.

    Marian Hossa a Red Wing, 1yr, $7.45m

    Everyone: The Red Wings just added Marian ******* Hossa. I am shaking in excitement right now.

    Pittsburgh Gazette HOLY s***!!!!

    To make it a COMPLETE grand slam of an off-season -

    :puke: Williams is garbage. He was afraid to go to tough areas, especially after the hard hit he took from Torres. He was the kind of player that was responsible for the early exits.

    Wings Offer Mats Sundin 1yr $7/Mill Deal

    I'm thinking Sundin will be this year's Forsberg.

    UFA Day one

    Of course you can make a case for Chicago; they're $5 million over the cap.

    Chicago signs Brian Campbell

    Massive overpayment for Campbell but it's nice to see Chicago getting better.

    Tucker to Colorado

    RDS reported earlier that Tucker signed with Detroit. A few minutes later the article changed to Colorado, so I assume the Wings were in the bidding.
  14. Bertuzzi hasn't been a big power forward since '03. He was garbage for Anaheim last year. If he were still the big power forward you claim he is, then why did Anaheim buy him out?

    Wings sign Conklin: 1-year, $750K

    Calm down. All this means is Howard will have to earn the back up job.

    Wings sign Conklin: 1-year, $750K

    Good deal. He was great for the Penguins this year and can step in if needed. He'll create some competition for Howard.
  17. There are still a ton of forwards out there: Hossa, Huselius, Jagr, Demitra, Naslund, Satan, Avery, Tucker, Ryder, Bertuzzi, Nagy, Stillman, Fedorov etc. Some are obviously more appealing than others, but we could still see a new forward.
  18. Please no to Bertuzzi.

    Sundin Headed to Free Agency

    $10 million for a 37 year old? There are some desperate teams out there.

    Cole to Edmonton for Pitkanen

    I like it for both teams.

    Okay who is the odd man?

    What do the Wings need? Whoever gets moved is going to go for a pick, IMO -- and I don't think the difference between Meech and Lebda is that great.

    Wings Eying Burtuzzi?

    Hopefully not, but I trust Holland's judgement.

    Vrbata to Tampa 3 million

    ...and in other news, Tampa overpays for a forward.
  24. Rice

    Okay who is the odd man?

    Lebda, I think. Meech and Quincey have higher ceilings and Lebda had a respectable showing in the Finals.

    Stuart Re-Signs: 4-years @ $3.75m per

    ...and he can skate. And move the puck.
