Parise Watch [update x2]: Red Wings OUT of Running
NeverForgetMac25 replied to Dominator2005's topic in General
So many people here keep talking about how the Wings *need* goal scoring and I just don't get why people are so hell bent on adding a Parise-type. Obviously, it would be phenomenal to add him to any roster, but its not as if the Wings struggled to put the puck in the net last year. They still ended up 4th in the NHL in scoring. And before anyone replies,the need for a bonafide goal-scorer is not lost on me. The bottom line, is the defense needs to be the focal point this offseason given our massive losses. Add Semin to go along with Suter and we're in good shape. Add Parise but not Suter....and we're f***ed. -
Still no decision from Suter. Speculation abounds.

That thread title is fine for now, unless you want me to change it to something else. That seems appropriate for the time being though. -
Jiri Hudler signs with Calgary, 4 years, $4m/year
NeverForgetMac25 replied to Zetts's topic in General
You mean other than the 16 million he just did for himself? -
Hey what do you think of 7 Million in two years for X player
NeverForgetMac25 replied to Majsheppard's topic in General
The trade wouldn't involve newly signed players. The swap would include guys that were already on the team and as a result, the guys Holland brought in yesterday would help round our the roster when (likely) multiple players would go the other way for the high-end talent (I.E. Ryan, Nash). -

That's one of the more sexy rosters I've seen in a long time. -
It would've been so odd seeing him leave NJ considering he's done everything and more in his celebrated career. It's not like he needs to pull a Borque.

Honestly, this is the only thing that makes sense at this point. Signing forwards like Holland did yesterday leads me to believe that he's out of the Parise sweepstakes and focusing on a multi-player trade for one big fish (I.E. Nash, Ryan). It's likely gotta be guys like Franzen and/or Fil that will be heading out the door to make it happen. Coupled with Suter signing here and I'm more than happy with the offseason. Sidenote: While Tootoo is a f***, he does bring a level of physicality that we've been missing for a while. Obviously, I would've loved for it to have been another tough guy that didn't play as dirty, but atleast Tootoo can chip in offensively. As for Sammy, he's a poor-man's Hudler plug to fill out the roster when the aforementioned trade goes down. -
i hope we dont panic if suter and parise signs elsewhere
NeverForgetMac25 replied to nyqvististhefuture's topic in General
TBH, if that is a factor, I believe its a low one. It's not as if Dats and Z are chopped liver. -

NeverForgetMac25 replied to nyqvististhefuture's topic in General
I'm fairly confident Holland would offer the same for Parise's services. It'll boil down to where he wants to play or in other words, Datsyuk vs. Crosby? -
^ That's actually great news for the Wings. The Parise sweepstakes will likely be over well before that and if the Wings can't lock him up, this will give them time to shift their efforts.

Haha....that's awesome. Somehow, I hope and pray that Suter and Parise see this kind of stuff.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if this is just posturing to squeeze a little more out of Phoenix. I still expect him to re-sign.

While I agree with you that the Wings would be better offensively, defensively they'd take a hit....atleast in the short term. Suter & Schultz are not greater than Lidstrom and Stuart at this moment in each of their respective careers. That doesn't mean they're not paramount to the Wings' needs right now.

With the s*** job Snow has done for the Isles, he's gotta be thinking he'll be gone in 5 years anyway, so what the hell. The problem is, his offer was still beyond ridiculous and just plain stupid...even in the short-term. What an idiot.

This seems so beyond ridiculous I feel like the thread belongs in the trade rumor section. If true, they're both absolute idiots. Does Snow truly believe moving up two picks in the first is worth every other pick he has? If so, Howson deserves to be fired for turning it down. As for Snow, he just continues to make the Islanders the laughing stock of the NHL. Bottom line, two dumb GM's making each other look dumber.

Remember when Z signed his life-time contract and they reported that Homer talked to him in advance? The writer of that article posted a gem. He said something along these lines: How do you think that conversation (between Z and Homer) went? Something like this: Homer: Henrik, you signing renewing with ink for your name and paper? Z: Jesus, Homer.

Thanks Matt...I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed that addition. Glad to see its back.
-
Even if White moves on when his contract is up, the thought of dealing him now is beyond ridiculous. As if losing arguably the greatest defenseman of all time wasn't catastrophic enough, then we lose another extremely valuable member of our top four within a few weeks....and now, you want to move another part of our top 4? I don't care if we lose him for nothing next year, with no guarantee that Kenny will be able to sign any top-end free agents in a couple weeks, turning over yet another top-four defensive player this off-season might actually make this team struggle to be better than a 7-seed in the West.

Top Swiss-leaguer Brunner to sign with Wings, Babcock has big plans
NeverForgetMac25 replied to evilzyme's topic in General
Which is a major bonus. Hudler was solid for notching goals a little more regularly than the average Joe and his Shootout skills were helpful. Perhaps this kid has the touch to do the same but for far less. Not even to mention the fact that his speed will help make up for early-NHL career mistakes that are bound to happen. As has been mentioned....low-risk, high-reward scenario here.- 139 replies

League takeover of cash-strapped Devils may be inevitable
NeverForgetMac25 replied to edicius's topic in General
It'd be nice if you posted the article title or a little excerpt rather than just a link. Not meaning this to sound bad, but its common courtesy. -
Weird not seeing the Wings finish off the regular season with a home-and-home against Chicago.
-
Oh, there will be. Sad, but true. It'll be the same idiots that boo Hossa when he did nothing but fulfill his obligation, which was a huge risk in the first place given the 1-year term in the prime of his career.

Best of luck to Brad....except when he's playing Detroit.
