I agree... It's strange, Ilitch and Chelios went only to INCREASE initial offer...

Source?

IMO, Suter wants to play for the Red Wings and Parise elsewhere (see Pens) but the 2 of them would like to play together... Suter is our 1st priority and Wings are doing everything in their power to sign him.

Remainds me of Chelios/Hatcher/Bert... I think that jersey # 22 will be very popular in Detroit

Lilja WILL be back for sure...

Top line minutes, played 54 games... Full NTC... who would want you Sammy????

I'm sure that Brunner was supposed to replace Hudler... This is one of the reason why young players liek Schultz will never sign for Red Wings. Instead of giving a chance to Nyquist and Brunner on the top 2 lines... Kenny is going after 35yo Sammy... Sucked 3 years ago... will suck for the next 2 years...

Next will be Lilja... Too bad Kenny missed Whitney...

I could see him as the 4th ine center in Detroit... Too bad he's not that big and tough...

Franzen, Flip, Kindl and the pick for Nash...

3 years ao he was slow... this time he will be even more exposed as the forward on the point. We have already Kronwall, White, Smith, Kindl, Quincey... and maybe Suter... do we really need Sammy on the PP? Hudler replacament is Brunner or Nyquist.......

There was no need for Sammy - Why Kenny needs to go after his EX on any occasion? Sammy sucked 3 years ago - he will suck even more this time!!!!!

I don't hate Tootoo, I'm thinking about getting his shirt/jersey... the sad thing is that Tootoo is the "big" player that Kenny was thinking about... What about Sammy? This is sick - he's better to get Suter sign tomorrow...

FU Kenny

Pens are after Prust... http://spectorshockey.net/blog/nhl-free-agent-and-trade-rumors-part-one-july-1-2012/ http://www.torontosun.com/2012/06/30/devils-could-be-left-with-whopping-five-hole "Pittsburgh, a team bumped around by the Rangers’ Brandon Prust, has some interest in him" Yandle would be perfect fit... but I say no to Bouwmeester (only because of his contract)...

http://blogs.tenness...n-paul-gaustad/ The Predators re-signed one of their targeted pending unrestricted free agents today in defenseman Hal Gill. Now comes a bit of news on the other, Paul Gaustad. Gaustad’s agent, Michael Gorman said that his client will likely take a look at July 1. “Paul intends to wait until July 1st to see what options are available, but he is definitely considering Nashville’s offer to re-sign,” Gorman said. Earlier today, Predators General Manager David Poile said he will still try to lock up Gaustad leading up to that date. “It would appear he’s going to free agency, but I’m holding out hope he might change his mind,” Poile said. At age 30, Gaustad is likely looking for a shot to win. He has never won a Stanley Cup. At the moment, with Ryan Suter not locked up, it probably makes the decision to re-sign with Nashville more difficult. Gaustad is a rarity in the league, a face off specialist who can win both right-handed and left-handed draws. He’s also strong positionally in his own zone — though doesn’t create a lot of offense. Gaustad won over 58 percent of his face offs after the Predators acquired him at the trading deadline for a 2012 first round draft pick.

What was Rangers offer?

3rd line should be def/energy line 4th line should be energy/intimidating line Why would you want Brunner on the bottom 2 lines?

Kenny will need to be QUICK tomorrow... let's hope that he will not wait or the 2nd/3rd wave (like he was doing in the past)...

Franzen - Dats - Parise/Semin Flip - Z - Brunner Cleary - Helm - Bert Prust - Gaustad - Eaves/Abdelkader Kronwall - Sutter Quincey - White Smith - Ericsson/Allen Carkner

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399541 Veteran forward Travis Moen has elected to remain a Montreal Canadien for another four seasons. The 30-year-old potential free agent agreed to a US$7.2 million, four-year contract with the club on Friday. He is to earn $1.8 million per season after getting $1.5 million in each of the last three campaigns in Montreal.

Prust might sign with Montreal or Toronto... Buffalo is also high on him.

Doan and Prust...
