Son of a Wing

Few things I would change with this. First off I think you underestimate what Dekeyser is going to get paid. He makes 1.775 this year with his bonus and there's no denying his value. If his deal is 3 years or more it will easily be over 3 million. I would expect Gustavsson back with a very slight raise. The way Bertuzzi is playing he might even have one more year(If we can't acquire someone else). Mitchell Callahan is eligible for waivers next year too and plays RW. Could be a scrappy 4th line guy. It'll be nice that Glendening will be waiver exempt next year as well. Sproul and Almquist wll get their shots too.

Well you did respond directly to a conversation about Bryzgalov in a thread entirely about Bryzgalov...

Agreed. Teammates value trust and respect a lot more than "being a good guy". Trust and respect you have to earn. "Being a good guy" is essentially a default status that can be lost.

I would much rather have an over-loyal GM like Holland than a GM that pretends there's loyalty like Holmgren.

Stay Classy Chicago Helmet steal at :13 Beer dump at :19

What the heck... for Brossoit and Horak?? I don't get it...they get another undersized forward and an OK goalie prospect while giving up one of their only solid defencemen...the one thing they need.

No he has lost a serious step. At the beginning of the season I too was of the impression he would resign again for next year but now I'd say no. Supporting Cleary...Bold/underlining entire sentences...modifying words to get swear words posted... I'd say you're doing your best to ruffle some feathers lol

I'm a fan of the Detroit Red Wings. Not the Detroit Nyquists.

Rereading it I can see how you can see it that way. First sentence I was responding to you taking kipwinger literally and the second part was just me giving my opinion on the whole situation. Also realize I sound kinda snarky. Sorry it's not intended. Just comes out that way at times.

They are available to every team in the league. Nobody wants them. Its not like we're the only ones with their game footage and are hiding their talents from everyone. Bottom-line their not talented enough.

Yeah well aware I posted the video and detailed when stuff happened lol I didn't say anything about the guy doing it. Just giving my opinion on how I feel about the events. Thanks though.

Uh...you took his post literally? lol Helmet grab - Funny. Beer dump - just plain stupid.

Thanks for the advice. I use Chrome with Adblock(sorry Matt). Everything is zippity zap.

Well who do you think is the most underappreciated Red Wing by the general public/fans?

Nope just NTC. It will state whether it's modified or has stipulations.

I thought it was interesting that George Malik stated today that Sammy's NTC is actually limited and requires him to submit a list of 8-12 teams he WILL NOT go to. This is news to myself and I'm sure everyone. Maybe a glimmer of hope he actually can be traded without his consent?

Seems anytime this organization makes a mistake everyone piles on Holland and anytime something positive occurs its attributed to other factors. We've always had more of a "braintrust" then a sole acting GM. But I guess it's easier to lay all the blame on one guy. Definitely a few mistake signings but I'd still rather have the issue of too much depth rather than too little.

I think you've got all that backwards. Constantly playing weaker opponents makes you complacent. Players and coaches state this all the time.

You type the way you talk. It's ok....we accept you. (I like ...) lol

Yup you're referring to the compliance buyouts. Deadline of July 1st of 2013 and 2014.

Ericsson and Smith are coming back which would still put us at 24.

Wow just clued in your profile picture is of Matt Foley. Nice work. lol

We need a big, top four, right handed shooting defenceman. Hell two of them would put us around top contender status once our forward situation gets sorted out. Both Nashville and Winnipeg seem to have a plethora of them. Neither are in the same conference, both are struggling overall and very budget conscious. I want Byfuglien...
