I think with Burns signing for $8M cap, Shattenkirk is going to get way overpaid for my liking. If we could trade for Fowler and Hamilton at least their hot is much less for awhile. I'm afraid of what they're next contracts will be, but we'd worry about that then.

Should be playing xo...need to showcase him for a trade. Of course we may need to trade Smith too...aw, who am I kidding, Holland is still in charge, so, ya, no trades coming. Unless it's a fleecing.

Hindsight for sure, but hey we'd be in the same boat with Stamkos. This is two years in a row now...he may be damaged goods. But, there is time this year to dump players and really load up for next era. If we can get Hamilton and Fowler, and as long as we can hang on to Sproul, we won't miss Chycrun too much.

Tank it, make a deal for TWO top defenders at the deadline, clear out other players for picks at the deadline. Get the lottery #1. Draft Nolan Patrick. Kronwall retires, lose Marchenko in the expansion draft. Re-sign Ott, and Vanek. Miller walks. Re-sign Jurco and AA. With this lineup, there will ne no need to persue anyone on July 1, except re-signing Ott and Vanek. The plan will be to draft Patrick and bring him in with the new Arena. So it is written. So it will be. Here's my 23 man team to open the 2017-18 season and The LCA Z - Larkin - Mantha AA - Nielsen - Vanek Jurco - Patrick - Abby Sheahan - Glenny - Ott Bertuzzi, Frk Fowler - Hamilton DD - Sproul Ericsson - Green Renouf Mrazek Coreau Leave me alone, that's the ONLY way I will be ok with tanking...

Vegas Golden Fleecers!

Still would be so weird to have Adam Foote's son be a Detroit Red Wing. That would mean Footie would have to cheer for the Wings and actually wear some gear!

He said it's something knights....but they can't even get tge video to play! Golden Knights I was thinking that with the logo. Las Vegas Golden Knights starting goalie, Jimmy Howard!

Lol! Sign of things to come?

Blue Knights.

I hope it's not legionaires, that sounds like a disease.

Except for Van Gundy's position on our election. It's fine to have an opinion, but he said "Black" players should strike until Trump is kicked out of office. I'm all for our 1st Amendment freedoms, but this just makes him look like a cry baby race baiter. Sorry, not trying to be too political, but just explaining why I will not support this team because of this kind of ideology within the NBA. Especially with the fragile state of my country...same reason I don't watch the NFL anymore. Anyhow, we knew this was more than likely going to happen, back when ilitch was trying to buy the team, Mrs. Davidson wouldn't sell it to him if he didn't buy PSE along with it, ilitch didn't want the entire franchise, just the team. Even when Gores bought it he said he wouldn't rule out a move back to the city. Good business move though. http://usherald.com/nba-coach-black-players-strike-racist-trump-kicked-obamas-house/

Wouldn't it be nice for once to see a "classic" jersey be an actual wool "sweater" that actually looks like it came from 1918?

They Continue to dump and chase because, hey, it works in practice against our own D, so it's got to work for real, yes? NO! Our D is inept and my gramma can dump the puck in against them and recover it in the corner! And she's deceased! It's all about pretty much everything you said, but blame has to go on Holland as much if not more as it does on coaching.

Guilty! Come on, who else will fess up? Your wives know who you are!

Holy hell....that look sums up the season thus far!

http://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2016/11/mckenzies-latest-olympics.html I have about had it with strikes/lockouts! What, including the ref's we've had 4 under Bettman? UGH!

But, are there enough fans to make more teams?

Ya, we have a ton of players that should be making $1M to $2M less. Sad thing is, he's going to give Tatar $4M+ this summer...and probably Smith the same.

It would be if we weren't wasting nearly $15M on E, Kronwall and Nyquist. We'd save even more if Z would call it quits, but he still has some worth...not $7M cap hit worth, but more than the other 3. Not to beat dead horses, but Abby and Helm are grossly overpaid as well.

Haven't you heard? There's this Swedish defense kid that'll resurrect our entire franchise because....lidstrom. Holland will waste a lottery pick, it'll be an atrocity to let him draft with it. Speaking of Holland, what a shame, all the winning and champions and hall of famers to grace that hallowed builing, he's going to allow the last year of The Joe end with this absolute debacle. All the history and it'll shut it's lights off as a loser. A horrific loser.

...and the highest payroll in the league. Chew on that and let it sink in.

Because Mantha just isn't doing enough, remember? He has to learn the hard way even when the vets are s***ting on the ice. I wonder if Holland still likes his team? A trade is needed now. I hope that XO gets the nod over Smith to replace Marchenko.

I predicted they would finish higher than us. Jacques Demers and Dave Lewis were fired. Coincidently the worst players tonight were Ericsson, Kronwall, Nyquist. Kronwall was directly responsible for the GWG. Also, Z is just too broke to carry them anymore. Best players tonight, Mantha, Larkin, Sproul, Ott and Vanek of course. Howard did what he could. I don't blame him for any of the goals.

Howard is auditioning for his next job and employer tonight. Let's put on a good show!

I am not sure. But ya, if there is a cap on it, I too could see a pronger type deal to a floor team.
