    DRW Free Agents / Salary Thread

    Well the good thing about Nyquist sucking it up in the playoffs for two years in a row is that he shouldn't end up getting much more than 3M.

    Yeah and Holtby and Bishop will both be 5M guys under their next contracts.

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    I agree about Mantha. I'm actually pretty annoyed at Jimmy D for s***ting all over him publicly the way he did. But Devellano's never been known for his tact.

    WCSF : (8) Calgary Flames vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

    Ducks will go 8-0 in the first two rounds and then forget how to play hockey and roll over vs Chicago. It's like that team of weasels has a magic spell that works on everyone but LA.

    And when those kids that come from that rebuild fail to win a cup in their first two seasons? Blow it up and do it again.

    Pretty sure Tampa went 5-0 vs Montreal this year.

    Hmmmmm. What do Burrows, Tucker, and Prust have in common?

    Great summary krsmith17 Although it saddens me that Mantha goes unmentioned. A reflection of his performance.

    Free agents this off season

    Doesn't sound like Holland will do much during UFA season this summer, other than hope the team has "growth from within". http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2015/05/red_wings_not_counting_on_quic.html I know I know. It's shocking.

    I wonder if, back in 2002, Wings fans knew just how bad Weiss would actually end up being here in 2015

    At What Point Does Holland Deserve Blame?

    Exactly. No one knew s*** about Datsyuk in 2002 other than he had great hands. If you had told me after the cup run in 02 that Datsyuk would go on to score almost 100 points in a season and win a bazillion Selkes I wouldn't have believed it. Hell, Holland nearly traded him for Scott Gomez.

    Locker room Clean-Out Updates

    Given Management's history with guys like Nill, Yzerman, McLellan, MacLean, Peters, etc, you can be that Blashill will be granted every opportunity to take an NHL head-coaching job if the offers are there. As far as the wife thing goes, that was my reaction as well.

    Jesus. I'm sorry. Holland's insane. Hopefully he means to offer him a position within the organization but not on the team. I think it would be great to keep him around in a player personnel type role.

    You can get in trouble around here for making things up.

    Who is the coach next season?

    He liked Granato's "compete level".

    Tough to beat the Lundqvist - Talbot combo. I guess it all depends on how great Mrazek can be.

    Kid's a maniac. I hope Washington advance just so I can see him destroy a few Lightning or Habs players.

    Oh I know all about Tom "Visnovsky Destroyer" Wilson. I was inventing new curse words for him during that April 5th game vs Detroit

    ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

    I actually have no issues with that hit. It was sort of from behind I guess. Backstrom makes initial contact with Boyle's shoulder, not his head, his skates more or less stay on the ice, and there wasn't a lot of force or much of a charge. Palat on Glendenning was way worse, only Luke is tough and Boyle's softer than a peach. But man, this series is going to be good.

    If I'm allowed to have a team now that Detroit is done, it would be Washington. You plan on catching any games Kip?

    Sigh, having a relapse of irritation

    is awesome. I'd put that mistake he made at about #25 on the list of "Stupid Things the Wings Did In Round 1".
