Right and I was pointing out, Tatar, Nyquist, filppula were all drafted later. Find me a team with a better track record for late round drafts. Sure we could rank and get top 10 picks for 5 years. We know that won't happen though

Has datsyuk done it yet?

As was datsyuk. They were "small soft euros" and they turned into two of the best nil players of their time. Other teams get lucky with one guy on their team drafted late that turned into a star. The wings however have stocked the shelves with great talents I'n late rounds and won a cup. We have nyquist, Tatar, and possibly others coming up now that "we just got lucky with" and we had filppula and hudler before too. We are very good at late round drafts and we don't have to rank to win. Its the one thing I can't knock Holland for. That being said I think he shouldn't have been extended still.

And he's only 27, wow.

Dats also has 532 assists already. He could easily be over 600-650 when he retires and is just shy of Beijing a ppg player his entire career (804 points in 824 games) that's good enough for me, without even taking into consideration his two way play. That just puts him over the top.

Nope. He would just post congratulations Cleary on taking us for fools, and never post again until next year.

It's all about the Benjamin's. And it wouldn't be smart to bring gretzky in to manage the team.

Sure. But also reeks of the truth. I don't think subban is worth that kind of money, not unless he learns to play his position better

From what I've heard (word of mouth) a deal was all but done for him to come to Detroit but he refused to waive his ntc

I want that controller. Maybe then I will be able to pull off his moves in nhl 15. Probably not still. Pasha is hilarious though

You're right. My mistake. Doesn't Weber come in second every year just missing by a couple mph though? Hahaha yeah

Cleary and Quincy for jumbo!! Kenny I knew you had a plan all along!!

Plenty of other professional athletes do this all the time I'm sure. You're going to tell me the nil doesn't have any selfish people? Lol! Or is that no other sport has unselfish people? As far as I'm concerned every sport has a mix of both, but the bigger the sport (hockey being at the bottom of the ratings pool) the more exposure certain types of players get.

I wouldn't doubt it

Didn't he injure your gm or something too? Blinding him I believe? Guys got a crazy shot, but the guy sending that tweet is a bit naive if he thinks no one thought he had a hard shot, considering he wins hardest shot every year breaking his old record

Why is there two of the exact same thread on here right on top of each other? I'm so confused I could die. Also, fedorov, but I like datsyuk better

I like it better, but I still don't see someone not in the bottom 4 or 5 winning it.

What makes you think this type of thing is exclusive to nhl players?

The only thing is, you would have an opportunity to meet Z and possibly some other wings and fellow nhl players, so that could make it worth it.

This is what I was referring to. Yes it was a baseless thought, and I was just stating my opinion, that's all. It could be either side, but twice in two days the lawyers thought it was resolved then it wasn't, so who knows really.

I feel like they made them believe that a deal was in place so they could spin it to the media that it's all a lie and Steve is too fragile to handle the media. Seems all too convenient to me. Probably a tactic to squeeze more out of them.

I'm just gonna dress up as a waiter and sneak in, then change into my tux once I've gotten in.

That sucks, free agency and trade is usually our bread and butter

Budget team... Maybe, but as you pointed out, it certainly wasn't a budget line.

I wonder what they settled for
