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)...

Hamilton age 32 with 3 yrs at $9 Rust age 33 with 3yrs at $5.125 I would not mind them being added to our roster, but they're at the end of their respective careers (Hamilton often injured) and carry a big cap hit. Yzerman should send NJ/Pitt draft picks, a prospect/s, player/s who won't likely be a Red Wing much longer ie Berggren....Doing both clubs a favor taking on their aging vets.

I'd send them Berggren or Rasmountain if they wanted a roster player in return...Looks like Rossi's production is trending upwards.

But what if EK65 is paired with EdvinGod77? Norse Mythology may very well have 2 new legends worthy of their tales of greatness shared by village elders for generations!

I was hoping Trev was gonna take over Keats spot.

I'm sure pairing him with Chiarot didn't help...I'd rather see AlJo on Seider's left side.

My brother from another mother from across the lake you must channel your hatred into something meaningful and beneficial like hating those regards from Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio...

Yzerman had another golden opportunity to have added another Cheesehead to the roster in Howard...

Ищу стройную русскую женщину, желательно 28 лет и моложе, с красивыми чертами лица; грудь не большая, но упругая, ягодицы спортивные или упругие, а также влагалище достаточно узкое, чтобы мужчина не чувствовал себя так, будто занимается сексом с измотанной шлюхой. "Взлетная полоса" на лобке приветствуется! Забыл добавить: зубы целы, ухоженная внешность и отсутствие татуировок. Мне не нужна женщина, похожая на ту, что работала в смену с полуночи до восьми утра на Ярославском тракторном заводе.

Yeah...Kinda sad...$700K wow...Back in my college days - beer on weekends and different/multiple flavors of puzzy would've gotten me to sign on the dotted line.

Don Cherry would make a great 'Murican.

The family and I are planning a road trip to Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal next month...Not sure I want to go after watching the video...Such a violent country.

Maybe he should coach in Philly?

Take this with a grain of salt...Listening to Sirius XM Radio NHL Network a regular on the show Anthony Stewart was asked if there's any 'dark horse trade potential, or player movement' that most would overlook, or be unaware of...Stewart commented on 'hearing' Tyler Bertuzzi might be on his way out of Chicago - possibly back to Toronto. While it's a snowballs chance in hell - I wouldn't mind seeing Bert back in a Wings jersey and playing alongside his pal DBoss.

With a hire such as this - what could Leighton possible 'teach', 'coach' that would improve either Gibson, or Talbot when taking into consideration their respective NHL careers and performances (as in Leighton doesn't hold a candle to either of them).

Which pretty much describes us...

Packers > Lions

Not gonna hold my breath...'Trust the Yzerplan'.....

Reasonable bottom 6 player.

I’m not questioning the fact that Yzerman was a better player - he clearly was - I’m saying Yzerman had a better team to play with. Even while he was surrounded by a vastly superior team Yzerman was the center of trade rumors (especially after losing to the Devils in ‘95). I don’t know how a 20 sumthin Yzerman would have handled things had he been on a team as bad as Larkin has.

I'd say 50/50 with trades/UFA signings. Yzerman as a player made the playoffs 20 out of 22 seasons while Larkin is 1 for 10...Granted it was a 24 team league when his career started and to get in the post season was 'easier' when compared to todays standards, but my point being is Yzerman had the taste of success, arguably more supportive Mike/Marian Ilitch, and played meaningful hockey early in his career while it's been a s*** show for Larkin. At this pace DBoss will be retired before the Wings play meaningful playoff hockey. Our rivals are steadily getting better too...So far only Buffalo seems to remain stagnant...If we're expecting draft picks to lead the way - so be it - just don't get your hopes up too high...The trend continues where Cup Champs (and teams going on a long run) have their fair share of players acquired via UFA/trade.
