    Imagine the booing he would receive here or in Toronto Guy is an embarrassment for hockeyAs for Ekblad I don't think he was on the verge of tears more like nervous I think Oilers are going with Draisaitl

    Whos the second best defender after Ebklad ? Looks like the draft is very forward heavy

    Kesler traded to Anaheim

    True if a player has a NTC you are out if you aren't on that list. Given the difficult conditions I think both teams did very well here. Benning seems to be on fire today the Canucks are really tearing it down wow.

    Which (retired) *non* DetroitRedWings player would like to meet?

    _Yeah I would gladly do that, but if it where ever to happen I would have to attend an advanced english lessons class for sure. One doesn't want to sound stupid when talking to such legends. Other than that I could easily seeing us agreeing on a lot if not all things.

    Teemu Selanne, Scott Niedermeyer (how do you skate so smoothly at that level??), Don Cherry, Joe Sakic, Ron MacLean, Linden (good choice), Bobby Orr, Dave the Hammer Schultz, Larry Playfair, Linden Byers and Super Mario Lemieux it's really incredible through how much things this guy has played and not only played but still at an elite level.

    NHL Draft 2014: First Round

    Wow music to my ears man let us all hope Ritchie falls out of the top 10 so we can get this guy. As for you have to be Canadian, just google for Canadian proxies and you should be good to go.

    2014 draft thoughts.

    Offer them our first Nyquist and Jurco Ekblads potential is sky high him at Dekeyser at the blueline would be an unbelievable pairing for more than a decade

    NHL Draft 2014: First Round

    Ritchie, Tuch, Perlini, Larkin one of those 4 pls stay the hell away from guys like Ehlers, Barbashev. If they pick him might as well throw the pick away because he will go to the khl if things arent going his way Also enough with the small soft euros need some hometown boys and size and grit

    Wings to have face to face with Matt Niskanen

    I don't understand how people are willing to pay a premium for Boyle but cringe on the money for a guy like Niskanen ? Every contract holds some risk yes, Niskanen is coming off his best year but it's not like he has been horrible before the guy knows how to move the puck and how to play a solid defensive game. If you have to overpay him by about 0,5kk you do it, especially with our top 4...

    Kane and Toews both asking for $12M per year

    Yep I really think so the Sabres aren't going to be even close to the cap so paying Kane 14 per is almost nothing for them especially since Pegula completed another 1 billion sale. Winnipeg could trade the cancer that is Kane and replace him with hometown hero Toews and their jersey sales explode. Got I wish I were as talented as these guys so much money so young

    Kane and Toews both asking for $12M per year

    Whats the alternative letting them walk and go back to penny pinching? The truth is both will get their money it's either from the Hawks or someone else. Save for Crosby, Stamkos there is not one player I would taker over Toews guy just has the intangibles. Kane on the other hand to me is not worth that much but the market dictates the prices. Like I said both would get maximum terms from their hometown teams so their asking offer is already 2 million underpaid I don't think they are going to go even more down maybe 11 but even that might be pushing it

    2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

    Hard to keep up with all the change but lol good luck for the Canucks getting Kesler to add Florida to his list. Well I'm sure he is prepared for that but are the Canucks ? I think they want a clean start with only guys who want to be there and get this thing rolling instead of focusing on "does this guy want to be here or not ?" it's also difficult for the players because they want to trust their linemates.

    McKenzie and Dreger talked about it on tsn either yesterday or the day before.

    2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

    Kesler narrowed his list to two teams Anaheim and Chicago so all others are out. Being interested is nice and all but getting the job done is the real problem and if we aren't prepared to overpay for guys like Niskanen, Statsny we aren't going to get them simply as that.

    Wings to have face to face with Matt Niskanen

    You want Yandle ? I do too but that would cost us, the first, one of Nyquist/Tatar + say goodbye to Mantha re you willing to pay that for 2 years of Yandle ? Niskanen ONLY costs $
