Berube was kind of a surprise. I dunno who else they have besides Griess since they gave up on Halak. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He was their best next in line. Now it seems to be Jeremy Smith, who has bounced around the AHL and had some horrible numbers in ten games with Colorado this past season. Then again, hard not to have horrible numbers on a team with their record. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I thought they were done with Varly. Or wanted to be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bye Nosek. Wings got off easy. Too bad it's a cheap ass contract. No cap relief. Then again, I didn't expect them to take Helm or Kronwall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who did they protect? Varlamov?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pulks was chosen? Hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't watched the Awards in years. It's become just as cheesy as any other awards show. Just hand out the hardware and STFU. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is Nosek being taken even a for sure thing? Didn't read any of the links yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. Errorsson can take a hike back to Sweden any day he feels like it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I liked Hossa that one season he played for Detroit and scored 40 goals. Those were good times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The league will definitely consider anything that makes their product more like figure skating. Delete the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holland is a weird, weird man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well, Quincey is floating around out there somewhere. He needs defence.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I know he has a bad attitude, walked out on a practice, doesn't work hard enough, etc. But it's ok for guys like Coreau to come up and fall flat on their face and get rewarded with more starts and the Winter Classic. Guess he has a good attitude and works hard or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With the horseshoe up the Hawks ass, I could see that happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Giving Mrazek his last contract season to evaluate things further makes sense. Coddled? I don't think he expects that. Or maybe he looks at Howard, who was coddled in the AHL till he was 25 and ran out of eligibility, and wonders why management is tougher on him? Mrazek made the big team early with a quality of play that couldn't be ignored, and took the starting job away from a guy who had it for 5 years. He's regressed though, and maybe management is tougher on him because they know how good he can be? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wonder if Mrazek is laughing his ass off right now. If it really is Nosek Vegas agreed to take, that's ok. Still have Bertuzzi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So Vegas is interested in goalie J.F. Berube. Vegas would also get Grabovski and the Isles 15th overall pick in the entry draft in exchange for taking Berube. Holy f*** McPhee, next time use lube! Edit-Just saw this was posted earlier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well look at that. Leafs needed to get stronger on D, and made a step towards it. They got their s*** together down there right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope, if he stinks up his last year of his deal, let him go. One bad season can be forgiven with a young developing goalie, but two in a row, move on. Maybe a change of teams will help him. That being said, nearly the whole team had a s*** season. Coreau had worse numbers and Howard only played 26 games because of two injuries. Could he have kept up his solid numbers for longer? Who knows. It's a small sample size to justify protecting him, just like Mrazek's attitude is a poor excuse to expose him, but it is what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well said. If there's no side deal to keep him, this has to be one of the dumbest, most pointless moves in a long time. If he gets the "message" AND stays and does something positive with it, all will be well. If he's dropped for nothing when no other Wings goalies would even be considered, and with ONE year on his deal and RFA status, it's a ******* train wreck. Kinda like the team itself I suppose. The kid had one bad season (Ya ya, he supposedly sucked after his birthday year before, yet still pulled off a 2.36 GAA for the season) and had a bad attitude. Someone, please take him, we can't handle this s***!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not saying that, just saying Babs probably had more leeway with his Cup win and Olympic Golds and long tenure as coach. Blash might be on a shorter leash, and I sure as hell hope he is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure the Hawks don't really care about him career wise. Didn't they give him a ten year contract? For a team with EIGHT NMCs and two 10 million plus contracts in the cap era, if he can't play, big savings for them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some of these analysts have to be huffing gas. Coreau has passed him on the depth chart? Based on what? Having a 3.46 GAA and .887 SV% in 14 games with Detroit last season, allowing 41 goals? Come on... I could see if he was putting up pre-last season Mrazek numbers ( never lower than 2.36 GAA), but he wasn't. He was even questionable in the AHL playoffs. So contract negotiations were "tense", and mutual frustrations carried over. Ok? Not the first contract Holland has had to negotiate that was tense. Should all players just bend over in front of him? And of course there were frustrations. Holland was looking at making the playoffs and it obv wasn't happening. And can anyone honestly say they think Mrazek stunk it up cause he just didn't care or was so pissed off that it hurt his game? That's always great for a career. Maybe he was pissed off at Blashill for giving Coreau the starts that should have been his, especially when Coreau was no better. That makes sense. But to be pissed off about a contract negotiation and letting it carry over that long? Nah. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
