    Alexander semin being bought out

    Kenny needs to have the balls to make Cleary go away. He doesn't have to be cocky about it. Larkin could make the team and explode.

    Are you saying Babs is very hard on his players?

    Which GM has the balls to sign Semin? He would be nuts to do it. Stop dicking around Kenny.

    In the words of Marv Albert....Yeeeeeeeessssss!

    Sad thing about Joe Louis is that during WW2 he went overseas and raised money for the war effort and then was taxed heavily for it. He had to come out of retirement where he lost to Rocky Marciano. He then became a ref and was very bad at it. In his day though the Brown Bomber was great. He had his "bum of the month club" knocking out guys like it was easy. One of the all time greats.

    Recently on Hockey Central an ex GM said that Semin "has no soul." .Do we really want that guy on the Wings? Semin has always been all talent and no heart.

    Free agents this off season

    Don Sweeney reminds me of Garth Snow when he first became Isles GM. Flying by the seat of his pants. No planning. I think Neely has something to do with the knee jerk GMing which is going on in Boston right now. I'm still shaking my head at the Hamilton trade.

    Holland doesn't expect to be busy this offseason

    Kick tires. Explored market. Prices too high. Too much term. We like our kids. Getting Franzen back is like signing a free agent. Pav returning in November is like making a trade. Any free agent signing has to make sense. It has to be the right fit. We're going with our younger players. We need them to take another step.

    Holland will not sign anyone. Too much term and too many dollars for average players. Kenny will not want another UFA mistake like Weiss.

    Free agents this off season

    They 're-signed Quincey after losing out on Boyle, Stralman, Niskanen, Ehrhoff. I'm not losing sleep when we lose out on Green, Franson, Martin and Ehrhoff.

    #19 OA Evgeny Svechnikov

    I love this pick by Kenny. All he has to do is round out his defensive game and he'll be ready in a year or two. Grand Rapids is the perfect place for this kid.

    #73 OA - Defenseman Vili Saarijarvi

    If this kid ever makes it I don't know how I'll spell his name correctly. I still have trouble with Pulkkinen.
  18. Gladiator...are you not entertained? With Bettman saying it.

    2015 Draft

    Kronner was also small when he was drafted. Worked out very well I'd say. We can use the German shepherd on the power play. The dog is a tank. Screen the goalie. Score goals. Win games. If the dog has stupid speed, we are talking dynasty here.

    Take Tretiak. Good name.

    Datsyuk Has Ankle Surgery

    Franzen coming back is like signing a free agent.

    Wings re-sign RFA Joakim Andersson

    He'll likely clear waivers and be playing in Grand Rapids next season.

    Free agents this off season

    I just don't see how Weiss fits on this team. Where does he play? Third line with Sheahan and Pulkkinen/Jurco? 4th line with Miller and Glendenning? If Mule comes back it complicates things even more.

    Free agents this off season

    Not sure how much cap space we can add since (according to the Khan) Weiss will likely not be bought out.

    Him and Landeskog were best man at each others wedding. Not really. I just made that up.
