not on hollands watch

so, franzen datsyuk tatar nyquist helm alfie abby sheahan jurco miller andy eaves

Moore better settle, he won't win, he's asking way too much money. I think he has Damien Brunners agent as a lawyer.

And we'll start by putting bertuzzi on the first line and nyquist on the fourth...

Gdt's are back!!! It's like Christmas!!

Can't do that anymore per the new cba

Clarkson has 4 goals in 39 games, right he totally scores goals... oh right let's mention that ONE year he got 30 goals, I think he should have gotten more than 5.25 million/year, Toronto got a steal, hey it's not like he only scores 10-15 goals every other year right?

because samuelsson had a sore boob, thats a joke not an injury

actually you did, when you compared them both having injuries in their first years of their contracts.

Fact, Samuelsson missed most of last season with questionable injuries, sore pectoral mussel ring a bell? in 06-07 Weiss hit 48 points, he never dipped below 40 after that before the lockout, he hit 60+ twice and 57 in that time frame, out of those 6 seasons he scored 20 plus goals 4 times. Like I said if you watched you would see that Samuelsson was very inconsistent, because he was lazy sure his numbers look similar, but that is mostly a bi product of who he played with, and a lot of secondary assists. He had a lot of stretches of not scoring his first time with the wings. Weiss has had 2 fairly severe injuries the last two seasons (both requiring surgery) which inflates his average games missed due to injury count. I feel like given a healthy season he will have no problem getting 60+ points with the talent we have.

Neither did lidstrom. And we all saw what chelios ended up like, point is nick knows his body better then anyone. We would all love to have him back, but who knows how well he would keep up at 44 years old

Of course they would. Most are nhl players. I thought you were talking about non nhl players in the olympics

Selanne is 43, Jagr is 42, that is not "well into their mid 40's" and btw Nick is almost 44 now

lol I wish...

also, I agree, Franzen should not be crucified the way he is, Quincey and usually kindl, dont deserve any praise

no I do not. fact, Samuelssons point totals from season to season were very inconsistent, and we already knew how lazy he could be from his time previously in Detroit. He spent 4 years with the wings, left and then was brought back past his prime, at the ripe age of 35. No one was angry the first time he was around, but his second time around we all knew it was going to be a train wreck. Weiss is 5 years younger then Mikael was when we signed him, and he has been a lot more consistent goals and assists wise over his career. You can go look at your numbers and pretend you know what you are talking about all you want, but those of us who actually watch hockey know what we're talking about. Yes, Weiss could end up being a bust, but is not even remotely close to the same situation, the only thing the two have in common is they are both nhl players being paid by the red wings.

It's just most of us are not so trigger happy and are willing to see what he can do when he's actually healthy considering how consistently good he's been his whole career.

Babs is the greatest

Well the kids can't carry the team. We absolutely need franzen and Weiss in the mix. With Weiss healthy he should be producing well enough to carry the second line while Datsyuk carries the first. Franzen Datsyuk Abby Nyquist Weiss alfie Tatar sheahan jurco Miller helm eaves Or franzen Datsyuk helm Miller Abby eaves

Right. The players have nothing to do with that right

In soviet Russia you don't get sick, sickness gets you.

Don't worry babs will give them hell for losing when they get back to the Joe

Of course Crosby and his little buddy are our nations biggest heros now

Giroux didn't even make the team

If Cindy gets the gwg I give up on life
