I am saying that this contract wasn't one that required arguing over. This should have been done before July 1st, and Hasek had to be the one to blame for it not getting done. If it was taken care of then you would see we got like 6 million left, which we could have used on some free agent. Now we just have 6 million left and no one to use it on. Are you guys so stupid you can't see that the order really screwed us up? The same moves in a different order could have made the world of difference. BTW PS3 sucks don't even think that I play that crap. Also I am a big and loyal fan who knows it. I know Hasek is a hall of famer, and I also know that he could have been signed for under 1.5 million, and while the 500k or so doesn't really hurt us this year, the fact that he could make millions next year could ruin next years offseason. The problem here is if he signed before free agency, we would have had Brian sign and then could have made a pitch to other players to come here with the money we had, instead of Holland being most concerned and tied up in signing Hasek.

I decided if the offseason is good by if we are the best in the division. I decide based on if I think we can win the cup. Yes we can, but we could have done so much more. I don't like us choosing Hasek over the talent on the top six forward market.

I do think that signing Hasek with possible bonuses is a dumb ass move. We are going to make next years cap harder while our team this year hasn't enough talent on the top end of our foward core to win so what really is the point of bringing Hasek back anyways.

This was bulls***, all that waiting to get this damn contract?!?! WTF. If we would have signed this a week ago we may have got some other free agents. god damn you Hasek.

Neither really, though I would take Comrie first. I am not really for anyone who is left. Though I would liek to sign someone so we have something to trade at the deadline.

Hey good signings if true... They would be prospect type guys that are on the border. Brad Ference is decent, I've seen him play plus he is somewhat what we are looking for in style. Maybe he will be the Cleary of the year.

We should payed him that. I mean obviously we aren't signing anyone else for 3.5 million, so we might as well have had him for trade bait.

There is a saying, if your not moving foward you are moving backwards. I do not see much progression in terms of sustaining our team. I do trust Holland more then any GM in sports, but I am begining to panic because I don't see how we can rev up for the playoffs if we don't do more now. Bert and Schneider can go to hell, I won't miss them now. Though who is going to step in for us? Now it looks like its going to be Zetter Pavel Homer Hudler?(wait he might be gone) /Val/Franzen Malts/Drapes/Cleary Sam/Kopecky/Igor? I mean thats not at all comforting. I mean, even if we picked up Yanic or Smolinski I could feel a bit better about how it turned out.

I just don't know what the Wings can/will do other then trust their farm. O'neil or Guerin?? I don't like that at all. God damn you Hasek, if you would have just signed before, we could have signed someone. Rafalski doesn't make a good offseason by himself. What are we going to trade for at the deadline? And what could we possibly trade??!?!

I'd be happier if they gave Zetter the same contract right away.

Zubrus Yep, that's what I have been saying since FA started. I wanted no part of Bertuzzi, I said all along that Zubrus is a better call then Bert. Look it up. I Wouldn't mind Vishnevski as he is brutal, but I really do npt think that we need to sink more money into the Dcore.

If Brian wants it.

I don't want Forsberg. He is damaged goods, plus I hate him. Zubrus, O'Neil, Guerin. Those are the guys. If the Wings don't get any of them, well then we will have to get others to step up. Hell, just get all three of them and move the two that suck for someone that doesn't. It is do-able.

Good, to hell with him. O'neil and Zubrus, sign one or both of them. Also Trade deadline time is going to be REALLY important.

Most likely yes, though Sydor going for 2.5 makes me think there is a chance at something. Doubtful still though.

TSN interview See he could have gotten more and he did take a somewhat worse offer. I am so glad to get guys like this on the team. Edited: Removed quote that appeared for some unknown reason reguarding hasek possibly being done.

? Nevermind? Come on let us in what you wanted to say.

I don't mind people leaving, but when they leave to join the other side. It is unforgiveable. This is not unlike Selanne going to the Avs from the Ducks, you know if he didn't come back and win a cup... Really a dick move to the fans that cheered for you. Why couldn't he have signed with the Rangers, then I wouldn't have been pissed. You go join up with Pronger and that dick in the front office and you are dead to me. It's just a big slap in the face is what im saying.

You and me never sleep eh? Yeah I am pumped for him, and I needed it because Schneider is dead to me now.

Zubrus to the wings. 2.1 million a year for 3 years. Or maybe O'neil?? He is available according to the Hockey News. I'd consider him. Comrie? Holmqvist? Handzus to complete our collection of players traded for or used to trade for Calder? Really it looks like the wings are going to just settle on Hasek and Bert and pray they have enough money to tie up all the loose ends throughout the year. I would definately look at Zubris...

It is poetic for him to join the Ducks. IF it weren't for him breaking his wrist, they wouldn't have won the cup. So I guess they owed him.

lol I don't know how that got in there. lol I'ma gona edit that now! Also a few down, you may notice them talking about the FA's signed so far. They state Detroit is now the favorite to win it all.

If its the wings or retire, why hasn't he signed the same god damn contract he did last year.

ESPN is not the definative source lol.

Philly is not going to be scary, they are going to be better. They are just really flipping out alot of guys that should have been great for other guys that should be great. Will they is the question. Personally I think the Oilers win this one. Except they didn't sign Smyth so they lose this by default.
