    Alexander Radulov: Wings on short-list of desired teams

    Why do you want to get rid of Goose one of them sure but both? It's not Nyquist's fault that people expected too much out of him, nor is it Tatars. One of the them needs to be included in a package true but both of them and then sign Radulov doesn't make since. His last time in the NHL was with Nashville, a few months before Suter turned UFA and their captain [Weber] stated, HOW disappointed he was by his actions because Weber was the one pulling hard to bring him back. And if people think Fedorov would let him go easily they are also wrong, the KHL can offer a ton of money which NHL teams can't. But yes, Avs would make a lot of sense and it would be hilarious to see.

    Alexander Radulov: Wings on short-list of desired teams

    No thanks guy doesn't have the right attitude so he's not something you want to bring in, see his stint in Nashville. wouldn't even sign him for 1 mill. Avs make a lot of sense douchebag coach and douchebag Radulov lol. Hey maybe he brings Kovalchuck along with him...especially since forwards are exactly what the Avs need lol. Also enough with the Euros time for some Michigan boys and Canadian grit

    Yes and he would absolutely a dream come true. Winnipeg would be incredible stupid to let him go but hey it would be a huge win for us. Danny D. - Trouba for the next 10 years? Boy sign me up for that plus both are Michigan boys

    Haha reminds on that famous police academy scene, someone sprayed Dork on Harris' chest and he walked around being the laughing stock at the beach and then complained to the chief of Miami. Yeah little and hockey doesn't match at all but there is no way they are going to change anything. still a shame when a team has so many deserving guys and yet they aren't even mentioned...just sad

    Maybe it has but then it's time to chance it back. MSG is the only arena left without a sponsored name such a shame really.Can't wait till the oilers announce their name for that plastic dome, although everyone knows it should be named after #99

    That's the point we aren't talking about your every day expansion , sunrise team here, this is Hockeytown, history, tradition, original 6 and all-time great players who deserved to have it makes after them I'd rather be naive than accepting some of the stupid stuff that's going on in today's day and age. Better to change things back to the way they were what a next ads on players jerseys? Sponsored team names? Corporate bulls*** and marketing shouldn't have a place in such a historic sport.

    The problem is it sends the wrong message. Naming it after the all-time greats, the best owner in all of sports would have kept things consistent, the only difference between this and one of the other super expensive arenas will be the location, nothing else. There is no history, no Stanley cups just bland plastic luxury dome.Backslash won't do anything because that weasel Wilson will find some way to spin it as a good idea, which it is not

    Well there a lot of things wrong in the 21 century, which were much better in the old days ... advertisement is for sure on that list.A building without a soul is not amazing no matter how luxurious it may be. Best example is the Pens arena modern and comfortable beyond believe but Pens fans are missing the atmosphere of the igloo. Why does every team need a new arena ? Why not improve the old one? I'm sure the Joe would have looked absolutely gorgeous with a huge renovation but no no, a bankrupt city decides to throw 200 down the toilete. And the next plastic dome is already in the works...The new oilers arena good times

    Starting next year every team will be aware of him and probably focus about shutting him instead of Z down. Of course he has all the tools to deal with that but it's also possible that Larkin might have trouble adjusting to playing against the top pairings, top lines.Double A hasn't played enough games. The sky may not be falling but failing to pull of huge draft moves and signings will paint the clouds extremely grey. And no this won't be fixed in 2 summers because next years UFA class is a joke

    New arena construction updates

    It's almost comical all those new arenas are over the top built, expensive as hell but lack soul, history and of course atmosphere soo disappointed right now what in the name of is happening to this franchise? whatever the case it's not good What's next free smartphones and WiFi in the arena? we are talking about the Red Wings here an original 6 team celebrate and embrace it instead of selling out like all the other teams

    This would mean:- getting Chychrun - Trouba - Stamkos I think me winning the lottery has a much higher chance than that. Losing Pasha means losing an elite 2 way player so it won't just hurt the TOP 6 position it will also hurt an already has defense.

    The fact is this: - The Wings need one NOW and - they need one for the future plus - a top 6 center NOW this can't be fixed in one off-season which is freaking scary.

    Thank you looked him up and nah, 183 ...5,10 the Wings really have enough of those guys. Tyson is the same type of player only 2 years older and could be had for just money but he also isn't what the Wings need. Trouba would be an absolute dream, I'd happily pay him his asking price of 7 + mill because it would be a steal of a contract in a few years.

    f*** you Tom Wilson never liked the hiring of this guy, he simple is an annoying suit who doesn't give a s*** about the rich history of this team or what the term Hockeytown really means and stands for. Let's hope that stupid render is just another placeholder, the only logo on top of that roof should be the winged wheel, nothing else.

    I've never heard a word out of Anaheim that Vatanen could be available so where does that rumor come from? I think Shattenkirk is a very fine defenseman and on the verge of maybe becoming a great one but if you trade for him, Green needs to go. Can't have 2 puckmovers who need other guys to cover up for their defensive lapses. In order to get a good return on Green the Wings would have to eart some serious junk of his salary (2 mill at least) and I don't know if thats a wise decision he has only 1 year left so.

    Dan Boyle Curses Out Reporters

    No I fully agree with him. The argumentative tone was more because of guys like Brooks, Feschuk there are reporters and then there are guys who are only interested in creating a controversy.

    Well fans will need to get creative and find something like the Sharks did. Almost nobody knows the "real sponsored name" of that arena because everyone is simply calling it the Shark Tank.

    Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

    Matt Martin, Ryan Reaves would go a long way to finally have a real fourth line, but I'm not getting my hopes up and of course the holes are almost everywhere this off-season. Chris may have patience but I hope the best owner in all of sports is watching closely what happoens this off-season and if he doesn't like it, press the red button. Richards, Miller thanks for their service but they aren't what the Wings need and for sure not part of the future. Other than the young guys I really don't care who gets traded just move into the top 10 and make a huge UFA splash.

    The Missed Chances: '03, '04, '06

    I think the Wings were close like really close but it wouldn't call that a dynasty, after the last back to back cup. Had they won in 2009 again then yes, I think this era would have been regarded as a dynasty. That 2009 against the Penguins still stinks, you are at home game 7 and not Crosby not Malkin...Talbot is the guy who puts the dagger in the heart god damnit. I remember it like yesterday I was so freaking pissed the next day, it was almost worse than losing against the Ducks because that year Jiggy just wasn't beatable and of course they've had Pronger, Niedermayer.

    Could have been a lot worse I guess at least it's a local company but why not name it after the owner? Mr. I deserved that honor so much. When you have the option of guys like Howe, The Captain, Lidstrom and of course Mr. I it sucks that it's just another bland corporate name. Really thought the Wings would be different than all the other s***ty sponsored name arenas. Could have been a lot worse but it could have also been better. The new arena better has a statue of Yzerman infront. Hate all these new shiny over the top paid by taxpayers arenas.

    Mantha

    Larkin, Mantha are the only 2 guys with great upside so of course he should be in the lineup next year but given what went on, I'm not sure if they start him with GR again. His size creates space and his scoring touch is something else hope he proves all his doubters and especially Develano wrong

    there is no comparison someone is going to pay him upwards of 3 mill and judging by his comments he is as good as gone too.

    Dan Boyle Curses Out Reporters

    Where did he lash out? Probably his last day in an NHL locker room, he is part of the Rangers that moron Brooks isn't so Boyle has every right to tell them to get the f..out. Too bad he didn't test how long Brooks would have stayed if Boyle meant business.
