Motor City Mullets

Not surprising...Makes you wonder why/how the whole Walman (apparent locker room cancer) situation played out (my take was to move Walman and create cap space for Trouba who then negated the trade AFTER finding out from his agent and not from Drury or Yzerman)...Just a bunch of other trades and random signings over the years that always leaves me scratching my head - nothing that'll hinder this team long term - just odd $hit is all. I think Larkin's demeanor this past post season presser sorta tells where his mind is at...He's gotta be burnt out - has any other player who's worn the 'C' for this team had to languish with such a poor roster?

Ready for a loss Lions fans?

Quality team bonding…

We do own the ‘UP’…Possession is 9-10 of the law…The ‘UP’ borders/physically attached to Wisconsin while you cannot say that about the Michigan lower peninsula.

Even though I'm a casual Packer fan - just knowing how much it irritates you brings joy to my heart. True story...Back in 2003 my coworker brought in the Sunday edition of the Chicago Tribune and on the back page of the sports section Da Bears placed an ad looking for season ticket subscribers since several thousand seats were added after renovations that summer...For $hits and giggle$ I actually gave it 20 minutes thought about buying tickets for that season

They're also the official pizza of the NFL...

Stop talking to your dog...People will think you're crazy.

Carolina in town that night...

The rumor I saw was Isaac Howard for Cossa.

This franchise was destined for Milwaukee...

Yup...Unless something falls into his lap that won't require much in return this will be our opening night roster. The only thing I can think of is a late summer move where some clubs might have to shed some salary to become cap compliant.

Will the NHL attempt to 'persuade' GMs not to do so? Would Bettman/BoG want to deal with the likely PR headache? While I agree with these guys having every right to resume their careers - just not sure how the public will accept these guys.

Agreed - however finding these guys, or having to pay fair market value will be tough...Robertson will likely command a player like Raymond in return...Not sure what Rossi would cost us, but I'm sure he won't come cheap...Who else is out there (saw Sprong signing a 1 yr deal with CSKA Moscow)...
