    Matt Wuest Prospect Tournament Thread

    Yet Hicketts and Larkin are both probably having unicorn dreams about Matha's shot tonight.

    Red Wings sign D Mike Green (3-years, $18-million)

    I wonder what NeverForgetMac25 would think of this thread's digressions?

    "DMacs" is a hell of a way to abbrevriate Emmerton.

    Yup. I bolded the Nosek part because Holland took some heat for trading Janmark and Jarnkrok. But you touched on it. Where would the club have found room for some of these guys?

    Larkin, Mantha, Nosek, Svechnikov, and Paterson all looked great in those highlights. That Polei fight. Woof.

    2015-2016 expectations

    Don't forget about 3-on-3 play in OT. Hopefully the Wings can win more of those than they lose. One potential advantage Detroit has over a lot of other teams is that Blashill gained experience with this last year in GRs. Something many coaches in the league can't say.

    Gee. I wonder who this backup goalie will be.

    Over/Under for Larkin's time as a Red Wing in 15/16

    Assuming Richards is only here for one season, Larkin should be able to take 17 next year. I think he'd look good in that number.

    Free agents this off season

    If Loooch was still there, this would never have happened.

    Wings sign Brad Richards 1 yr, $3 million

    That's probably where Kessel would have been this season had he not escaped to Pittsburgh.

    Wings sign Brad Richards 1 yr, $3 million

    Only if Babcock gets him when he's 40.

    Cleary re-signs... 1 year deal

    Cleary re-signs... 1 year deal

    If Mantha turns out to be anything like Johnny Depp in this new Black Mass movie, I think we'll all be happy.

    Cleary re-signs... 1 year deal

    I was just abut to post that I'd be happy giving Cleary 950k for the rest of his living days if he could help mentor Mantha into a 25-30 goal scorer at the NHL level.

    Kings Insider: Kopitar contract-extension not even close

    What are you talking about? They're both going to sign with the Leafs.

    Howard's New Mask

    Howard's New Mask

    Nah man. Holland's waiting to see how helathy Franzen is before he trades Howard + Mule + Helm + Quincey + whoever else you doesn't personally like to Edmonton.

    That mask is average. Just like Jimmy.............

    Moving Jimmy Howard

    It's about picking a side and then saying "See, I was right!!! I know all about the hockeys!!1111!!" It's also a bit OCD. Anyway, I'm with you. It's going to be awesome to have two capable goalies this year. Especially for the 7 back-to-back games early on. Also, it will be refreshing to see the tandem get managed propertly by Blashill. I think we can all agree that handling goalies was not one of Bacock's more potent skills.

    Moving Jimmy Howard

    And it's like some people don't realize that keeping Jimmy means that this team begins the 15-16 season with what will most likely be a very good goalie tandem. But hell, let's nueter that option right off the bat because who'd want that kind of stability?

    Moving Jimmy Howard

    Maybe next summer? Maybe. But sure a s*** not right now.
