i don't really understand the tootoo buyout personally, his cap hit is very minimal when buried in the minors

I agree to an extent that they shouldn't be allowed to discriminate. But at the end of the day it is the owners discretion who he can and cannot sell tickets to. No chance of winning that lawsuit.

Why? He signed a contract, he has stated he wants to stay the year in grand rapids. If I had an employee sign a contract possibly with a no compete clause or something of the like, and it was my say if he is allowed to negotiate elsewhere, and he/she was a valuable employee, I definitely would say no too. If he is unhappy he can tell Holland he would like to leave, but he is still under contract and until that contract is done he shouldn't be talking to other employers. Same goes with players. They can't discuss new contracts with other teams till the old one ends.

Should have put sirgay boobtitsky. Either way, love it lol

I will hate it if the finals are Boston-Chicago again.

They barely won their first two games and got pretty lucky. I don't think they were ever really in it. They haven't looked good for their last 15-20 games.

His back foot is behind the line, looks pretty close to me. It's all called in a split second, refs don't have a chance to pause and check replays they have half a second to make a decision.

I agree his body of work was better in buffalo but some players thrive in a no pressure zone on a bad team. I just don't see Miller coming to Detroit and having any better numbers then Howie and I've been saying that same thing for a couple years. Mrazek on the other hand in 2 years time I can see being one of the best nhl goalies around

I disagree. Nbc has no problem creating controversy or stirring the pot when the team in question is not named Chicago or Pittsburgh

Those guys don't play center. We had too many centers already, he wouldn't have gotten a shot here. Look at legwand, career 2nd line center ended up on the fourth line as a wing.

Rask is my favorite. Miller has not been consistent at all since he left buffalo. I don't think he's any better at all, he has a better d in front of him than Howard and puts up worse numbers

Lol for all the people wanting to trade Howard + for Miller, he isn't doing very well in st. Louis. I think Howard is better

You answered your own question. He wasn't a key piece of our future and had no future here

That's why I font like that radio station. Just look at those corsi stats someone posted. Literally every defense man plays better when they are playing with Smith.

Your cynicism is always such a ray of desperation around here

I'm on board wearing the conductor hat on the franzen hate train now. He just seems not to be able to step up when it counts anymore. Use the buyout now while you still can and maybe we can get a young impact player with his money

One of the first things we actually agree upon. Jarnkrok had no real future here, too much depth at C already and he was getting impatient

Not my work, but I found this gem on Google, figured I'd start the ball rolling

right... better goalie

I'd agree, bit the fact is mrazek will never be ready for those minutes if he doesn't start getting backup time in the nhl.

We've gotten a lot more people back lately and this has been the first injury in a while. (Not counting Alfredsson, don't think he's been healthy most of the year) It sucks Jimmy is hurt but hopefully we can win a couple games before he's ready to ho and we aren't golfing when he is ready.

Y, I figured you meant mrazek, but. A bunch of people were talking about McCollum right before your post so I couldn't be sure

Yup good ol wings brass hiding a minor injury by saying it's a concussion, don't know how you cracked the code

He's on contract through the end of next season. I guarantee he will back up Jimmy, they need to know what they've got in him before they 're sign or release him
