Plus everyone, me included, was saying if he didn't trade that contract, he needed to be fired.

I just mean with his knees. He's given a lot and I respect him, but it's time to give up his spot. E can rot, Kronner can fade away.

I respect his career, but is he worth $6.25M per? I cannot wait until Mathews is due up in 2 years. Btw, since they have no cap room, I'll send them a pick for Hyman. Talk about electricity with Larkin!

Unless we're trading one in a package for a legit top pair guy, I say we keep all three of them and let Kronner and E rot in the basement. Daley - Green Dekeyser - Jensen XO - Sproul

I just think it's awesome that everyone thinks of our young D that Jensen is the best. After all the slack I took a few years ago for putting him on my roster all the time. And yes, Daley will make this D better. Plus he makes less than half the guys back there.

This guy on Kevin Weekes left reminds me of a slimy slick character like Mike Damone or Swiper from Dora...

Wouldve taken Hartnell at 1yr $1M, but he's chasing a Cup for sure by going to Nashville.

Ugh, why would you put AA there?

So no more money...$8M to re-sign the RFA's...guesd no trades happening this summer....again.Plan the parade. Ya if they get Duchene as well? Stanley Cup Favorites.

Capfriendly only showing 1 year...

So much for Fowler...8 year extension $6.5M per. Shattenkirk $6.65 per year. I would've been fine with that.

....so are we done?

Sorry, deleting my attachments, I have run out of room!

Colin Wilson to Colorado Id love to have these guys job...how cool would that be?

3 yrs. 9.5M Not too bad.

Well we know by experience there is no trade coming.

Guess it could be worse. If Kronner and E aren't ready to go, Daley is a good solid pickup. On the surface it sounds stupid, but if Kronner and E and Sproul can't go, Daley is a nice option. He's won 2 Cups in a row and can bring in some experience on what it takes in today's NHL to win. Your top pairing becomes Daley and Green out of the gate.

If Abby go $4.25M for scoring 23 goals once, Tatar will get at least $5M. That 25th goal last season was the money ball...er, puck. I say 6 years AAV $5.5M. Anything less would be a "hometown" discount. Maybe someone will tender him an offer sheet for 5.5M. I'll take the 1st and 3rd rounders.

Tatar will get $5M+ AA will be between $1M and $2M XO will be under $1.25M Don't know how we sign two D and a FWD, plus bring up another and still fit under the cap... I'm hoping XO stays under $1M and AA stays close to $1M. But Tatar will get every bit of $5M. At least! I see $5.5M in reality...

He only mad $575K last season, guarantee it wouldn't be for much more than that if at all...

Not exactly, but is a known lowballer. Maybe he's coming around from that, but IMO, it's too late. Damage done. We'll see what happens this summer...god I'm so tired of saying that. I like that he tries by signing players, but the problem is with the players you already have.

Id take another member of the Michigan Mafia...but is he any good? I mean, better than what we already have?

He overpays his own players that don't deserve it, but when it comes to trying to get free agents to come, they have to take a discount because Lidstrom did or Zetterberg did and, hey, it's Detroit. History man, history!

Oh! Didn't know about McKee! That's great news too! Now, will either of them get any kind of real shot here though? I certainly hope so!

We need an entire overhaul upstairs. We don't need any of his assts. taking over with the same philosophy. We need an entire new coaching staff, and have about 6-8 players sold off for whatever we can get. I guarantee we can get 6 and 7th round picks for all the players mentioned above in a fire sale. I don't care really. Of those players mentioned, I'd keep DD and Sheahan though. I would start by asking them to submit their list of teams in their clause and then contact those teams and take low picks just to get rid of them.
