    11/14 GDT : Red Wings at Boston Bruins, 7:00 EST

    Why not Jurco in for Pulks? Seriously what are the Wings doing with Jurco at this point?

    Finding it hard to get excited for this game with everything going on in Paris, will likely be watching fox News all night and flipping to the game every 10 minutes or so just to check if anythings happening. What a sad night.

    Abby Signs 7-year, 29.75 mil Extension

    Hovers around 20ish goals? He hit 20 once, his next best season was 10 goals and he did that twice. Abby will never crack 15 goals again let alone hover around 20. Anyone who thinks Abby is a 20 goal scorer going forward must think that Cheechoo is still a 50 goal scorer.

    To me this is the difference between a contending teams signing and a pretending team signing, this is a Kenny Holland Pretender move. This is Kenny looking at the team and saying everything is fine here is a 7 year deal we'll continue to do the same thing we've done for the last 5-6 years. A contending team GM would have seen Abbys agent asking for 7 years and laughed the agent out of the building, a contending team doesn't lockup bottom 6 players to unmovable 7 year contracts. Look at a team like Chicago and how they have stayed competitive and won 3 cups, they trade away and let players like Byfuglien, Saad, Sharp, Ladd, Niemi, and countless others go from the team in order to keep things changing and keep a team competitive. They don't lock players down to long term deals unless they are true centerpiece superstar players. Chicago realizes that the players they have can be replaced and still be competitive. Kenny Holland doesn't know how to do that anymore. Do you think if Abby played for Chicago they would give him a 7 year $4M dollar extension? No, no they wouldn't. Because they know that Abby isn't the type of player that will take the team to the Finals. Kenny doesn't look at this team like that though, he doesn't see that this team needs help. All Kenny sees is that Abby is a home grown talent and should be rewarded for his loyalty just like several past players he's resigned out of loyalty. Loyalty doesn't win Cups, heck loyalty doesn't even get you past the first round but Kenny doesn't see it that way. This team has not made it past the first round in years and what's kenny doing about it? He's signing guys like Abby to 7 year extensions. Signing Abs to 7 years isn't going to make this team go past the first round, all Kenny is doing is resigning everybody and keeping the team exactly the same and setting us up for the exact same first round exit that we've become accustomed to. At some point Kenny is going to have to realize he's going to have to drop the loyalty crap and actually try to better the team, not keep it the same year after year minus one or two new guys making the lineup. At some point Kenny needs to realize this isn't working and make some wholesale changes but that would go against everything Kenny believes in. Whens the last time we traded a roster player? Eaves? Does Kenny even try to better the team or is he just content with this roster and its first round exits?

    I'm seeing shades of a David Clarkson type signing here with Abs.

    Yikes! 7 years is brutal. I can see a 4 year deal at that price but 7 years those last 3 years are going to kick us in the ass. One 40 point season doesn't equate to a deal like this especially for somebody who played with one of Pavel and Zetterberg for most of the season and only put up 44 points. He's a career 3rd/4th line grinder who's going to cash in on one lucky season. Don't get me wrong I like Abby but this deal will look ugly after the first couple of seasons. As soon as Dats and Z retire and Abby isn't playing top line with them he'll be back to his mid 20 point self he's been for the majority of his career. Abby has to have the best agent in the league to get a 7 year deal at 4M+.

    Athanasiou recalled by Red Wings

    Really excited to see AA play, I don't get to see the Griffins so this will be my first time not including training camp/pre season. I said before he can be Helm's replacement if we let Helm walk this season, I hope he proves me right.

    Mrazeks backup

    Has to be other, Mccolum, Coreau, and Paterson are not NHL level goalies as it stands right now. If Howard were traded Kenny would have to trade for a backup as well or sign somebody.

    Connor McDavid injured, out "long-term"

    If somebody has the video feel free to post it. Hate to see the kid go down so early in his career, hope it isn't serious but did not look good at all. On the plus side if he is out any long period of time this helps Larkin in the Calder race... and Edmonton in the 1st overall pick race.

    Which means the next 3 he will be brutal.

    Byfuglien - What would he cost?

    I don't care what it would cost, with how soft this team is I would kill for somebody like this on the team:

    Get the puck and shoot, that's all you have to do Tatar. You don't have to try and stick handle like you're Datsyuk and turn it over 3 times a game.

    At least it will be fun to have a top 10 draft pick for once.
