    1/20 GDT: Blues 4 @ Red Wings 1

    All of this reeks of being perfect excuse fodder for Kenny when he does nothing this summer.

    Anyone else think that Polak looks like Booger from Revenge of The Nerds.

    Not a single f*** will be given by the linesmen or refs tonight in favour of the Wings. The Blues are going to benefit from The King’s misfortune.

    Blessing in disguise?

    This is exactly what Holland will do, no doubt. Although he might make a call to Statsny’s agent on July first to kick some tires.

    Blessing in disguise?

    It would sting a lot to visit this scenario. But IF Weiss can't stay healthy or get his game back, we can't have this. This team desperatley needs a 2nd line center. We can't be over-paying Weiss to center the third or forth line. Besides we seem to have about 32 guys that can all play in the bottom six.

    Blessing in disguise?

    Pretty sure this has been addressed here on LGWs before, but anyway, Weiss is not eligible for a compliance buyout. His contract was signed post-lockout. A regular buyout would be the only option.

    As long as Backes or someone doesn't kill Zetterberg or someone, I'll call this game a success.

    Blessing in disguise?

    Andersson is out right now with a lower body injury. So that's not true. I generally agree with everything else. The thing with Sheahan though is that he projects to be the better player. He has more upside.
  15. rick zombo

    Blessing in disguise?

    Yeah. If Weiss can't get healthy and regain his old form, I'd want him gone just to free up roster space. We'd still need a second line center though, so that problem isn't going away. That third line center you speak of could very well be Sheahan.

    Blessing in disguise?

    Exactly. There's no stopping Holland from resigning Bertuzzi and Cleary. Bert because of his "size" and Cleary because they probably promised him an extension based on the fact that he took a "discount" this year. To that, I add " ".
  17. I'd like to think that would land Wheeler. Might even be overpayment. Unfortunately, Kindl + Nyquist doesn't come close to Wheeler's cap hit. So it can't really happen.
  18. rick zombo

    Blessing in disguise?

    I'd be fine with this. There will be enough cheap young RFA kids coming up over the next five years to keep the cap hit managable. Another option would be to trade Weiss and eat some salary.

    Has anyone noticed this trend? 3 years now

    Wings internally evaluating injury issues. Decent read. http://blogs.windsorstar.com/2014/01/18/duff-wings-study-injury-issues/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Sorry, I didn't see this before I posted that article. Differnt sources basically saying the same thing.

    Bleacher Report: 5 BOLD predictions

    So I'm confused. This is the second thread started by the OP this morning. They're both the exact same as Bleacher Report articles. This one was written by Issac Smith http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1918199-5-bold-predictions-for-detroit-red-wings-in-2nd-half-of-2013-14-season I apologize if I'm confused but it seems that these threads are presented as if these are your original thoughts. If you're just copying and pasting someone elses writing, that's not the case.

    Bleacher Report: 5 positive things in the Red Wings

    Did you write this article for Bleacher Report? Or cut and paste Matt Hutter's article into this thread. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1922244-5-positive-signs-for-the-detroit-red-wings-2013-14-playoff-hopes
  22. Guess we got off easy 1-0.

    Jurco Called Up

    He's been recalled today.
  24. The problem is: who goes the other way to facilitate cap compliance? High end prospects and picks might get a deal done, but it doesn't help the Wings cap issues (thanks again for Tootoo and Sammy's combined 5M Kenny!!!). I think Wheeler makes roughly 5.3M.
