He'd have a good shot at top 6 on this team, as long as Helm, Sheahan, Abdelkaer and Glendening stay where they belong.

Once we get rid of Howard, we'll agree to take Niemi off their hands and give them the #9 and one of Nyquist/Tatar for the #3. Vilardi will be ours. I'll be sad we won't get Tippett, but Vilardi is awesome too!

Must we always argue?!? just kidding, hell I don't know where i got that from either! I swear I was adding the numbers up...lol, maybe my eyes moved to another column as I was moving up the list. Oops!

Well the years they played together, Lidstrom had 154 points and Vladdy had 175 points. Also his +/- was out of this world, he was a +60 in 96 alone.

Kind of reminds me of Hasek. I remember when he said the same thing a year after he retired. "If" he came back, it'd be for Detroit (I think he threw Ottawa in there as well.) I think he has a bit of an itch, but that's probably normal of players that leave or retire.

This made me think of an old puck I have from the 80's. Here's a pic of it I found on google.

Maybe McIlrath will earn himself another contract...maybe a few call ups. https://twitter.com/RedWingsFeed/status/869615683180441602

Not as long as the NHL pampers the pens.

Just saw the overturned goal...not surprised that call went for Pitt. Should've been a good goal, preds got screwed by uncle Gary. This pampering Pitt is really turning my stomach to the point of no return. Clearly onside.

The scary thing is, when the cap first hit and teams had to buy players out (McCarty, Hatcher) what if we had to decide between Vladdy and Nick? I'm sure if Vladdy stayed healthy he would've been making $6M+ as well...

He was one of the most impactful Wings of all time. Players, for me are the three, Lidstrom, Fedorov, Yzerman...the rest are 2nd tier behind those. Leetch's win should've been Konstantinov's.

Mike Ilitch.

Save the money. What if we swing a deal for Trouba? He'll cost a lot to re-sign. Plus the Fowler idea too. He'll cost a lot if we can get him ufa, or re-sign if we trade for him.

Hoping Fowler makes it to ufa next July. Again, I'd rather save the cap and throw it at Fowler next season if he doesn't re-up with Anaheim.

I would in a heartbeat trade Nyquist for Fowler. But would Anaheim?

He's an RFA. Where did you read he was on radar? Would any of you guys trade the #9 for Fowler?

What's not to believe? 3 teams have win 7 of the last 11 Cups. Possibly an 8th this year. That's not parity, which is what the cap was supposed to bring. All it did was take away from the elite franchises that were willing to do what it had to to win. It was meant to spread the wealth, but I'm sure Uncle Gary is not going to change things this time in the name of parity, the teams he wants winning are winning.

Ya, we'll, I'm out. Uncle Gary pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Salary Cap was supposed to bring league parity, well with Pit poised to win it's 3rd Cup since 09 and with Chicago already having 3 since 10, that's 6 cups in 12 years possibly going to 2 teams. Plus the Kings twice. All the cap did was take away from a handful of teams and give the accolades to a different select few that were basement dwellers for a decade. I don't see parity when 3 teams win 8 of the last 12 cups (if Pit wins) it's the same as when it was Detroit, Colorado and New Jersey, but they weren't handed players due to a cap. There is no league parity, it just allowed Uncle Gary to handicap the teams that kept his league alive throughout the 90's and hand it over to the teams and their fans that didn't even know what the nhl was in the 90's. Meanwhile there are 20+ other teams still waiting for parity to help them out...ask Arizona about league parity. I'm out. They may not win, but the fact that Pit is even back in the finals reeks of garbage. So basically l was forced to give up my winning tradition that was built the old fashion way, to watch the torch be given to teams that the fans didn't even care enough to support prior to the cap. f*** you uncle Gary. We were all lied to and bamboozled.

Kind of surprised Moulson is listed there. He'd be about the only one id be interested in.

I'm out, can't do overtime. If pens lose great, but if they win, I will throw up if I see those bandwagon fans celebrating...

And that is why the nhl is bulls***.

The only chance we'll take is injury...if we could somehow get a 1st at the draft...

Plus I do believe 99% of us wanted him, and wanted Holland to offer more to get him...wouldve been nice...

Asst. Coach, eh?

I say shed the $12M-$14M in salary, sign some 1 year vets, bring up some kids. Save the cap to try and land Fowler if he doesn't re-sign with Duck.
