I like Lundqvist and Lecavalier.

Antropov has actually been very good this season.

I haven't seen him play much lately. If he's still sound defensively I'm all for it. I think we need another big body on defense.

I'm not saying give up whatever it takes, I'm saying more than just a pick would be fine. The Tkachuk deal was stupid, he was a bad fit in Atlanta and was washed up anyway. I'd be fine with the Wings giving up some high picks and mid-to-high level prospects.

Sundin is a perfect fit for this team and some are saying a draft pick and nothing more? He's a big body, he's clutch, and he'd be perfect for the second line.

Yeah, it was a great trip. We went to Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka. No Tokyo unfortunately.

Here's a picture from my trip to Japan over Thanksgiving: Came out a little weird... it looks like I was photoshopped in or something.

I don't...get it...what's wrong with...John Keating?

Anyone else's Versus HD feed not working?

Kane actually went to my high school for a couple months before he left to play in the OHL.

When did Nick say he wouldn't like to see Sundin in a Wings uniform? What does Williams have to do with anything? We got rid of his garbage play and garbage contract by trading him for Calder.

Fedorov was a free agent. Niedermayer isn't.

When I go I usually take the Lodge and get off at Jefferson. I park in a structure on Griswold that is never full on game days. It's a short walk (4-5 minutes) to Cobo from there and I just walk under Cobo to the Joe's steps. I'm pretty sure it's $10 bucks. After the game there's never a wait to get out and you can get right back on the express-way easily. I found some more info on the lot: Jefferson and Larned Parking, operated by AMPCO Parking Systems. 500 structure spaces at $10. This lot is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Entrance off Griswold between Jefferson and Larned. From the Lodge Fwy, exit Larned Street, continue for 3 blocks to Griswold, then turn right (south). Entrance on right (west) side of Griswold.

At this point in each of their careers, I think the vast majority of people would pick Hossa. The guy is as durable as they come but he's not a UFA like Forsberg is. He would cost boatloads of assets to acquire.

I agree that it shouldn't and won't ever be changed but it would be cool to see a mock-up of a jersey with silver accents.

Didn't Joseph step on the ice with his jersey on inside-out in protest of the whole Hasek situation?

There's this, too:

Honestly, I think it can all be attributed to two things: scouting and, in turn, Nick Lidstrom.

TSN: Great deal.

Yup, Savard easily.

Will Forsburg be playing on a line with Zetterburg? I don't think Philadelphia has the cap space to afford Forsberg. They'd have to dump some salary first.

It'd give Forsberg a little more incentive to come here...

If Lidstrom thinks $5 million is alright, there's no way the NHLPA is going to disallow from signing a contract for $5 million. Look at what Brodeur and Sakic are making.

Hey, who bumped the thread from August '05?
