But the price wasn't right... Maybe we should have paid Brunner 3.5 mil, hey the price was right. s*** bertuzzi almost hit 100 points at one point give him 5 mil, you never know... I know it's a bit of an exaggeration but the point is the same. Why didn't we sign flip again? The price WASN'T right, clowe and Clarkson got paid above their respective worth, because they took advantage of a depleted free agency. Simple as that, the price was too high, that's why they ended up on the team's they ended up on

Me too. I've actually been hoping to see something like this for a while now. Happy they gave into my subliminal requests

maybe he is preserving his strength so he can still be effective at 38

My point was to find someone who can score just as much, and excel in all other categories, for up to a couple mil more. I didn't touch on the others because unless we trade our entire team away we won't stand a chance of getting them, maybe richards, but even his cap hit is considerably more then the 6mil mark i pointed out and he can be quite inconsistent as well. I didn't mind some of the 6.3 mil cap hit but picking a guy who has a cap hit the same as datsyuk is a far cry from comparable to franzen

Oshie has never even hit 20 goals, Roy has not hit that mark since 2010, Staal doesn't even put up the goals or points Johan does, and he comes with a bigger cap hit, Seguin may or may not become a beast, point wise. Zajac = just as streaky, hasn't scored 20 since 2010 either, Skinner is not proven yet, seams his point totals aren't too consistent year to year, not as good as mules either and he costs more at only 21, he will be either garbage or cost a fortune in a couple seasons, and st. louis is far too old to trade assests away for now. please provide some substantial proof that we can find a better bargain then franzen

That's not really a bad thing. That means he scored in 13 games. Instead of scoring 14 goals in 8 games. He was productive over a longer stretch.

Toews and Kane are locked up for two more seasons at 6.3/year each respectively. So this nonsense that they will lose them is entertaining. Who knows what will happen. Salary cap goes up, they trade someone they shed some salaries somewhere. They have two years to come up with cap space for a raise for those guys

It's his cap hit that is important to me. I couldn't care less if he got paid 100 million dollars this year, I look at his cap hit. Ya maybe his last couple seasons he might not be worth that cap hit, but who knows. Right now he is worth it. That's like complaining the car you bought will break in 5 years, maybe you're right, but for now you have no way of knowing and you might as well get the use you can out of it, as it is still worth what you paid for it

well i said 60 points cause you said a better player fora couple million more, but you never did show me that player

name a player for 6mil cap hit will get you 60+ points a year, net 25-30 goals, work his butt off every shift, have great defensive abilities, and get into all the hard areas and charge the net... go ahead and check next years ufas too if you want, even throw a ridiculous trade option, you won't find a perfect player for $6mil, that is a fact

love it! Franzen:

Siegfried and Roy doing something insane when Datsyuk scores

After re signing the players we need to next year we should have about 8mil to sign some big name player, assuming Quincey, Bert, and Sammy don't get 're signed or alfie.

It's a type of salami

We should get something like the hawks have. Sure it's annoying to us but that's the point. It should annoy the opposing team, and it's also kinda catchy so the fans love it and the away team hates it.

You think the red wings are better this year, so we should fire Holland?!? What drugs do you take, cause they must really work

What ugly tattoo did they cover up with this beautiful piece of art?

I think franzenstein will either bring it this year or get bought out.

Zetterberg is more of a sniper then franzeb

firefly should never have been cancelled (probably not unpopular, but needed to be stated) and fox is stupid and wouldn't know good programming if they had it right in their palms...

I like the white pads with the red icebergs

so hockey will be more entertaining to watch?

People underestimate his value because he isn't an all star or a 20+ goal scorer. But he essentially is the heart and soul of our team

I like it, I think I like it better then last year's. Although there is one poster (no names) who likes to come in and completely disagree with everyone else all the time
