Screw that. I don't want any Wings playing and risking injury. What happens if Datsyuk or Howard or someone else blows up their ACL in the Olympics?

Lots of stories say that barring a set back he will be ready.

What is that based on?

Kindl a d prospect other than Sproul and Tatar for Edler and a pick. Doan for a couple picks.

Except they're not because they're balanced by kids with minimal salaries.

Look like ECHL jerseys

10 games a year is acceptable. Some players are just more prone to missing a couple games here and there. Lecavalier has missed 20% of his games the last 3 seasons. That's not missing a ton one year and being fairly healthy the other 2. That's a trend.

#2 among the forwards in hits.I don't think the 4th line will play much less than the 3rd at even strength. It's more likely that both will play the same and the differences in toi will be special teams. If a trade isn't made Bertuzzi Samuelsson and Tootoo will be fighting for playing time. Nyquist and Tatar will be in unless they play their way out of the lineup.

I met Mike a few years ago when a buddy of mine who did sports radio was doing a remote featuring the autobiography of Terry. He was a real good guy.

Hell no. I like sunshine. The person below me is irritated with their significant other right now.

Sure it is. 2 guys who get in and hit and Samuelsson is good at pissing people off. 2 grinders and a guy who shoots. Also if he shows anything he could bump Abdelkader out of the top 6. Samuelsson as the shooter for Datsyuk and Zetterberg could work well. As for our 4th line, put the injured guys in and it's better.

The 4th line is whatever is left. For a time the team was stacked and the Grind Line was #4. Last year it was the Pk guys and/or Tootoo. This year it could be the kid line or Helm's check line, possibly centering Miller and Samuelsson, will be the 4 line.

When he takes time away from kids then people can complain about it Eaves and Emmerton are the guys getting cut not anyone better than a 4th liner. 2 years at $3 mil is not a big contract. I can easily list a dozen signed the last 2 years worse. The ntc was a moot point. If he played well they wouldn't want to trade him. If he played bad nobody would want him and players will generally waive them anyway. When he's healthy he can score 45+ points throw a few hits and piss off the other team. If he's not orbhe craps the bed then he sits on IR again or the press box and a younger guy gets his ice time. Win-win.

Count Chocula even though I liked Frankenberry better. Jennifer Aniston or Garner

Borque also went to a team significantly better than Boston, not a team that finished with a similar record the year before.

He left for more cash not because he didn't get an offer. If there had been an issue like that they wouldn't have brought him back. For a guy with his production a 2 year $3 mil a season contract is very reasonable. The issue seems to be more that he was here before and left than his actual projected production.

When he signed the contract no. Now, a bit. But if he misses a bunch of time they can bring up someone to replace him.

You mean the one season in the last several he missed a chunk of games? This isn't Colaiacovo or Lecavalier who miss 15-20 games a season. He'd been pretty consistently over 70 games a season before he was traded to Florida, hurt his groin, then tried coming back too early and reinjuring it.

Bertuzzi was in against Anaheim. ducks started crap, Bert skated up, it stopped. I don't have an issue with Tootoo but I don't see him having that effect.

$3.01 mil is bonus money the can be deferred to next season. Moving any 2 players in trade/waiving Eaves and/or Emmerton gets them below cap.

Night moves - Bob Segar

Trading any player except Emmerton or flat out waiving Eaves gets them below cap. That's not an issue. If they trade Tootoo and waive Emmerton and Eaves they can sign Cleary for $2 mil. I really don't think Holland wants Cleary back though. He's just not saying that publicly.

He's not half good either

He was a UFA. He was having problems getting a new deal so a call was made. Nothing sneaky about it. The reason RFA guys don't usually get offer sheets is because the team almost always matches.
