    More russians to red wings?

    I don't know if it has been agreed to, yet. But, the main reason less Russians have been taken over the years is because of the lack of a transfer agreement and Russia not wanting to lose all their star players to the NHL. The next country a lot of people are talking about is Germany.

    Ken Holland Franzen negotiations

    Doing a little research, Franzen's agent is based out of New York, if that means anything.

    Gary Roberts Retires

    They are in the first year of new management. The new owners thought throwing money at the situation would be the way to go. Plus, they phased out the previous GM out of the decision making and didn't hire a new one until most of the off season decisions had been made. Finally, they hired Melrose as coach. Now, they are trying to fix the issues they created.

    Whats with all the back to back games?

    TV contracts really affect this, as well. You have to fit these games in all these viewable windows.

    So, are you happy with the turnout?

    Flood control caused double post.

    So, are you happy with the turnout?

    Because, I don't think our cap would have worked with just a draft pick, and I don't think Ottawa wanted a 3rd or a 4th. I read one spot wanted a prospect and a second, at least. San Jose and Detroit competing against each other might have driven up the price, too.

    Wings send scouts to ATL vs. COL game?

    They play Colorado on trade deadline night. It may just be advanced game scouting to check out the future opponents.

    Hudler: More Icetime - Worse Performance ?

    It's not really ice time that is his problem. It is who is going against. When he plays on the top two lines, he is going against better forwards and defensemen. However, when he is on the lower lines, he matches up against weaker opponents, and he produces. His ice time is low just because Babcock uses his top two lines so much.

    Lidstrom is Hurting

    Would you rather have a injured Kronwall who can't play during the playoffs or a healthy Kronwall who can dish out the hits during the playoffs, when everything is on the line?

    Jagr close to signing with Oilers?

    Isn't there a cut-off date where no one can be brought over from Europe past that date? I thought that was put into the CBA. Edit: My bad I was thinking of something else. I was wrong.

    Wings need attitude adjustment

    The current team reminds me more of two years ago, with problems in their own zone that led to penalties or goals. That team played the same the whole year. They reached the Western Conference Finals but lost to the Ducks. Last year, they played more of a complete game. The February issues last year were mostly due to injuries. They have some of those now, but the overall team play is more like two years ago.

    NHL Awards Moving To Las Vegas

    The buzz is that they could be going to Kansas City, because they are going to play a preseason game there next year.

    Leino

    There is no such thing as front loading contracts in the current NHL CBA. They take the average salary over the entire contract, not just the year to year salary values to figure the cap hit.

    The Vote is on Thursday.

    Any source on this? I hope it to be true, but I would believe it only if I see it.

    Convinced yet?

    That play looked onside to me. The replays they showed had the puck cross the line before Marleau took his skate off the line. Allowing San Jose to get two breaks behind the D were the killers.
