Only one thing to say... You freaking beauty!!! Great deal by Kenny!

Soon I hope! It's after 5am.

Where did you hear this from? I hope we haven't given up on Bertuzzi. I like Fedotenko, but unsure on Blake.

Summed up my thoughts.

But Detroit doesn’t feel the need to?

That will push me over the edge!

Believed to be the San Jose Sharks... Meaning that leaves us with either Bertuzzi or Blake I guess.

Wow, he's been traded! But to who!

Thanks Matt, much appreciated!

This is actually starting to sound like a real possibility. We might actually land Bertuzzi! Cmon Holland! I will never doubt you again!

I would love Bert on the Wings. Absolutely love it. Probably Meech and a 3rd or something.

Will you pay for me to fly over?

I guess this team could do with an injection of pace. But his size and lack of production during the playoffs concerns me a little.

Am I the only one who doesn't particularly want Blake?

Jokinen is 6' 3, has 64 PIM's and 61 points in 63 games. What's not to like!

I think it will look like this... Franzen - Datsyuk- Holmstrom Hudler - Lang - Calder Filppula - Draper - Maltby Ellis - Hussey - Langfeld Flip played with Drapes and Maltby last game, and seems to fit in well. I think he'll go with them again and put Huds up to the second line with good mate Lang.

That sounds about right. I am all for Bertuzzi coming to Detroit.

Who will take his place on the 1st line? I'm hoping Flip but we all know that's not going to happen.

Good luck with that!

I'm sure this has already been mentioned, but what is Calder's contract situation? And Williams still has a year to run at $1.6million, no? Good deal, to get anything for Williams without giving up picks/prospects is a positive.

Link Disappointing. I guess Babs is willing to persist with Lang and Williams hoping they will turn it around...

Surely the Oilers will manage to lock him up. He's too good to let get away.

Well as the article suggests, I highly doubt we’re going to bring in anything more than a 3rd or 4th line physical player with limited scoring abilities. The price for rentals is just too high for Holland. So therefore Lang and Williams will remain on the second line. I don’t see the harm in giving Huds and Flip a chance on a scoring line, but I guess Babcock has faith the current line will turn things around.

I should also point out that wingsfan40 scored a perfect 7/7 on Sunday. Impressive!
