    Doan staying in PHX 4 yrs $21.2 mill

    Pittsburgh, LA, NYR, Philly. There will be an insane bidding war over Doan IF he choses to leave Phoenix. Holland will not get caught up in this. The only way Doan comes to Detroit is if he wants to come here above all other destinations and accepts a reasonable contract. Just can't see it. There. Now you can be really surprised when the Wings sign him.

    Has the Detroit diamond lost it's shine?

    Is this baseball you're talking about? Salary cap free baseball?

    We Need to Trade

    Doan won't come here. If he leaves Pheonix, it will be for a run at the cup. I'd say that's why he's waiting. To see who's the most appealing when the dust settles, as it has today. Wings are too far off from a cup run to attract Doan.

    Hang on to the cap space for next year so we can get outbid fo Weber, Iginla, Getzlaf, and Edler by Columbus.

    Zach Parise agrees to 13-year, $98-mil deal with Wild

    Shouldn't the Parise/Suter signing threads be merged, so they can be together forever?

    Suter Watch: Decision today, down to Wings/Wild

    Maybe they just parked the jet there so Holland can low-ball Howson. We are talking about an organisation that paid the Russian mob to help Konstantinov defect from the Russian miltary by forging doctor certificates stating he had inoperable brain cancer.

    Suter Watch: Decision today, down to Wings/Wild

    Exactly. Sign Suter or have him tell you in person it's a no go, then get the drop on everyone else and sign whoever's left.

    Parise Watch [update x2]: Red Wings OUT of Running

    Seriously. Something's going down. I highly doubt that either Parise or Suter planned on dragging this out. All I can think is that someone blindsided one or both of them with some unanticipated offer, and that this has prompted some sort of existential crisis. Maybe Mario offered them gold plated bunk beds beside Sidney's, in his basement.
  9. 13. Because the only thing cool about Minnesota is Prince.
  10. Pushing Blue into another line thread is like pushing Homer Simpson into Donut and Beer store.

    Still no decision from Suter. Speculation abounds.

    Parise and Suter to Colorado. E4

    Parise Watch [update x2]: Red Wings OUT of Running

    There were a few Canadian born players that had no trouble making up their mind to sign on Sunday. July 1st. Canada Day.

    Still no decision from Suter. Speculation abounds.

    That extra 20M means a lot to their agents I'm betting. And, make no mistake, these guys are in the ears of both Suter and Parise. Sort of like Wormtongue in The Two Towers.
  14. Good for him. I hope Holland doesn't miss the bus, waiting around for the Lebron twins.

    It means the person who tweeted this saw Babcock in Minnesota.

    Parise Watch [update x2]: Red Wings OUT of Running

    At this rate, I’d take that. + a trade

    Still no decision from Suter. Speculation abounds.

    From the Twitter gibberish above. Nice one-way journalism. If Holland was out of the Suter sweepstakes he’d have signed Carle, Rozsival, or Salvador by now.

    Jokinen to WPG

    I guess if Hudler’s worth 4...........

    Now what?

    I popped my July 1st LGW posting cherry just to chime in and ask.......... Are you on crack? http://www.capgeek.com/charts.php?Team=15

    Red Wings make contract offer to D Justin Schultz

    I'd spend some of that remaining 1.9 M cap space on a healthy backup for Jimmy.

    Red Wings make contract offer to D Justin Schultz

    I wonder if Holland's quotes about Schultz are any kind of indication that he's not optimistic about signing Suter.

    Pens Targeting Suter and Parise

    Great post. I got half way doing something like this before I had to go save a cat from a burning tree. Seriously though, it comes down to what matters more to Parise and Suter: joining a stacked team like Pittsburgh with an iffy long-term cap plan and dramatic loss of depth outside of the top six F and top 2 D? Or joining a team like Detroit who could ice a well balanced squad and still have 10M to throw around. Plus the Wings uniforms are cooler. BUT they'd definitely have a larger selection of jersey numbers to chose from in Pittsburgh

    Pens Targeting Suter and Parise

    Agreed, I'd still add Prust and do this with the 4th. Cleary - Abby - Prust (Miller/Eaves)

    Zach Parise

    I thought the salary cap was created for parity? This is becoming a parody. Parise, Crosby, Malkin, Suter, Letang, That’s not right.
