It will be interesting to see those defenceman trying to handle Robin Big Snake up front for Detroit, there will be a few big scraps in those games.

Yeah, Good point.

Good move by the griffins, any word on who the wings will sign out of Bootland, Robinson, Kopecky and Groulx.

I would love to have Bertuzzi on the wings, although i don't know if he will be the same player when he returns to the Nhl after that incident with Moore.

Kopecky is horrible. How can he justify a place on the team when every season he gets injured all the time. The only reason he played physical this year was because he was on a line with Barnes and Vandermeer. He's never fulfilled his potential as a scorer and he is shy with physical play. Bootland had more goals then he did and played in 22 NHL games, why give up on him now. Don't we have enough soft players? Agreed, i would keep Bootland and Robinson they are the only two with NHL experience. Can someone please tell me how the Wings tell Bootland to concentrate more on his offence last season, so he scored 14 goals and had 20 assists for 34 points and was a +5 on a s**t team but then they turn around and say he had a bad year. And 1 more thing he was a -8 with 14 points when he was called up by the wings and he did just fine. So i think he improved last year. And Kopecky has, what 7 goals? And he may get signed? I'm hoping they're serving notice to Bootland is all Unbelievable. This is a biased organization. It's the Kenny Holland disease. Definately agree there, i bet that if Bootland had 10 PIM's instead of 336 he would be signed right away.

Congrats to Philly, they were a great team this year, they are deep on grit aswell.

I think he should come over aswell, what harm can it do. Does anyone know if Valtonen will be over next season, the Griffs could really use him.

This makes me think that Amadio will be signed to a griffins contract, and maybe a few others aswell

Excellent news, hopefully he has spoken to holland about this and some signings are made.

Yeah, i saw that on the tv what a hit it was, he was out cold.
