Flyers not looking for a Goalie for Gagne... (E3) "They are trying to trade Gagne in order to bring in another forward... " - Eklund

Interesting, Now what are they willing to offer Bosh to come along with LeBron? Bosh should atleast get free parking and discounts at the Hockey Store.
-
How about Chris Osgood for Ian Laperriere? Or Chris Osgood/Danny Cleary for Scott Hartnell?

#%$* TSN!!!!!!! viewing for Canada only.

It's crazy seeing what some of these teams are paying for some of these defensemen. If Chara hits the market next season MY GOODNESS how much will he command?
-
He's like 32years old sure he's from Latvia but it was still in the USSR for half his life. I'm sure he can speak Russian.
-
Nice signing for them at $600k per season. He would've been a nice fit here and Dats would've had someone to speak Russian with.

Red Wings Salary Cap VS Non Salary Cap Era
Johnny Diamonds replied to KrazyGangsta's topic in General
As Illitch has shown with his Detroit Tigers ownership: If there is a belief that they have a chance to compete, he will spend big. If the chances seem slim, he will try to trim salary and operate under a budget. -
How about somebody who can win some damn faceoffs on the road?
-
This strange odd couple Datsyuk and Boogard friendship or whatever it is reminds me of Master Blaster.
-
$14 million tax free? He should take the money. He's still young enough that he could come back to the NHL in the future to chase Cup dreams.
-
Absolutely not, it would've been suicide. In a non-cap world f*** YEAH.
-
It could've been done moving some salary around. Let's say Holland didn't re-sign Bert. What's that about a 2mil cap hit? You ship Ozzy to Tampa Bay for a prospect, There's close to another 2mil, and yes Obviously you'd have to get Raffi to waive his no-trade clause and ship him somewhere for a bag of sticks. We would've had to roll with some young D-men like Kindl and Smith, but it probably could've been done had Holland really wanted to do it.
-
It might not be a popular idea but I would welcome either Morrison or Wellwood on the Wings. Both had great faceoff numbers last season. Both have local ties. Morrison played hockey at UofM, Wellwood was born and raised around Windsor,ON. Grit and toughness is a nice thing to have on your team. But for a team built like the Wings, keeping possesion of the puck is the difference between losing in the second round or going all the way.
-
Eriksson has the potential, Abs is scrappy tough call.
-
Most recent Ivanans and Boogard. Boogard clearly wins but Ivanans won't back down.
-
Raitis Ivanans could be had for $600k ish. That's what he played for last year. He had 6 goals 2 years ago.
-
What is it why you're a fan of this team?
Johnny Diamonds replied to Finnish Wing's topic in General
If the Wings ever move out of the state of Michigan I will be done with them. -
Great signing? You guys are out of your mind. He's the Russian Cujo.
-
Lebron, D Wade and Chris Bosh going to the Wings?
Johnny Diamonds replied to JoeWilk's topic in Other Sports
At 6'9-6'10ish Jonas Jerebko would give Boogland and Chara a run for their money for tallest player in the leauge. And Oh BTW he's Swedish and already lives here. -
My link write that link down and when you have access to a PC/Laptop & internet connection over there read through the instructions and forums and they'll tell you what you need to watch FREE streamed games.

Can't blame Howard for this one. Putting Ozzy in will not stop the Sharks from diving all over the ice. The Wings are just gonna have to suck it up and find a way to outscore the divers er I mean Sharks.
-
It took me a long time getting over losing both Dave Strader and Bruce Martin. I don't care if he has some bias towards the Yotes it will still be fun to hear him call a Wings game again. It could be worse, we could've got stuck with that little wormboy on VS who does those demonic voices. I can't stand that little sh##!
-
I bet Franzen would eat that roadkill too.
-
Anyone else missing McCarty?
Johnny Diamonds replied to Bring Back The Bruise Bros's topic in General
D-Mac was awesome. In his prime he was a complete hockey player. He wasn't great at anything but he could do everything.
