I agree, there is no reason to suggest he is worthless as a GM. I will just let everyone rant on this one. WE ARE FRUSTRATED!!! We are not used to being so ignored, so unimportant, so emasculated by the system. We work the system, and now the system is working us... It seems to be a sentiment that affects me in every aspect of my life but not hockey. I never ever expected to feel like we cannot win as a Red Wings fan... maybe with the refs, but not in running the team. This offseason is starting to make me feel that way. It isn't even over and I have little faith that our team will be any better than last year, and to make things worse I am losing a few of the people that made me so confident in our dominance over the years. Honestly, Buffalo has emerged as the type of team that could be the next Red Wings with a great owner. More reason that I think we might be ready for a big stumble when Lidstrom retires. Thank God we are a great drafting team. I hope that we somehow can get a crack at a lottery pick without having to be a lottery team so we can get a new foundation cornerstone.

That would have been a HORRIBLE trade. Who would have a better person to fill the spot? Nobody. You are correct in that, but that is the league and not Hollands fault. However, he really wasn't worth this much. This would have been a good number for a long term contract, not a short one. The best sentiment is that this throws the entire team salary structure out of whack. This is bad news. The only thing I want to know is if there is a NMC. I have the feeling he should be our biggest trading asset now... Not that he will be, but I will want it to be so...

What makes me mad is Ehrhoff is only 750k more a year. I am so freaking mad. I don't think Holland is a bad GM, I think the league is broken. The cap went up way too much in one year.

Horrible cap number. I want the new cba to slow the cap going up way more than this one. No way on earth we should be paying players like E 3.25. Even worse is this is going to help drive up ticket prices.

Does anyone know where there is a feed for the show... starts at 4 on NHL Network.

This is the lamest system ever. If I was in on the CBA I would stop this trading rights bs.

This is TRUE. Jagr was delayed last night due to turtles on the JFK runway.

I would take Scottie or Stewart. Both would have to be lean contracts though... Honestly, I think the only player who is bigger that can put up points is Shea Weber. Right now we have about the same odds of winning the Lotto.

Then I would love to sign him. Of all the UFA he is the largest one to have the skill to be a goal scorer.

He is RFA... isn't he?

Let us get something straight... There is ZERO chance that we can upgrade from Raffi. There just isn't that player, or players available.

Trading for negotiating rights.

Fair enough.

It is clear he is just ******* trying to drive up costs by getting teams to bid against each other. I have heard the Detroit offer has not changed once.

Some days... It just doesn't pay to wake up. More of THIS...

I am never going to get into this.

I give up trying to figure this out.

Nejlbíže can't be translated... anyone know what this means? Nejlbíže to Detroit... This is so funny how different our boards are taking this over Pitts boards... They are flipping out, we are like meh.

My link So, in what way does that have anything to do with Jagr?

riveting thriller about the upcoming return of Jaromir Jagr in the NHL has come to a single outcome. What team nods is not clear, but according to information Sport star striker rejected the offer Pittsburgh! And choose other options, the closest to Detroit. God I love Google Translate...

Did anyone tell the GMs that July 1st isn't until Friday... that all the action is supposed to happen then...

Lids isn't a good enough mentor? Also Hedman will not be going anywhere. Vinny is a far more likely trade than him. I don't mean to be a dick... But wouldn't that be Avs country?

Aves country? Han-zel? EDIT:double post and old bugs bunny joke.

Ughhhhh... Seriously, you think this is why Holland isn't getting in on trades?!?!?! He isn't because what is the point in trading picks for free agents? July 1st he will do things. /endrant

Best thing I heard all day... "We're not learning as much about "Jagr watch" as we are about "Jagr time," and time moves VERY SLOWLY in Jags' world."- Malik EDIT: it combined the posts... I don't think this is the best thing i have heard at all. In fact it is most likely awful news... Jagr says no to s***tsburgh. Prepare to see Jagr Trend on Twitter...
