This actually isn't that bad. And if he's sent to GR, they're getting just 1/3 freed up?

Agreed. Not sure whats up with this guy, coming over, playing HALF A SEASON and then acting like he's the big s***. Go get Garth Snow to throw money at you if thats how you want to play it.

All they have to do is peg the loonie to the dollar like they've been yakking about for forever. Problem solved.

Thank God

He wasn't helping the team get INTO the playoffs at all, which they almost missed, if you forgot about that? He did turn it on in the playoffs, but up until then? That was painful to watch... He was seriously dragging the team down at points in the season

Agreed. Minus the Samuelsson nonsense.

Cleary is Cleary better than Brunner

Yeah it's really weird. Not a good reflection on Holland... McDonnell just let us all know that something was not right in the front office.

Same. Not sure how he's magically going to get better after a couple of extra months. I really hope we're wrong. Maybe he can get some of Karlsson's magic medicine, whatever the hell that was.

How about a scenario where Brunner is signed and all the RFAs are as well? Who goes?

Today wasn't bad. Could have been better....I really want to know what Brunner's agent is trying to do here. Will be interesting to see how Kenny handles the remaining RFAs and tight cap space.

He's a decent player, just made of glass. Hes need to go play in Switzerland or some other decent euro league where its less of an issue.

I doubt it. He's no #1 Center, but he is a solid #2....except that he lost his mojo in Detroit this last season. I'm not sure why. He went over to Finland and played for Jokerit with his brother, and did great....and then came back to the Wings with everyone else, and sucked it up. That kind of drop off, considering the rest of his career and his age.....equates to some kind of attitude issue. Okay, he's got his change of scenery now. I think he'll be back to his old self next season...which is still a slight overpayment lol.

Good pickup, I wonder if other teams were sniffing around, and this is how he was retained in GR. I was impressed with him during the AHL playoffs. Does he have a realistic shot at getting called up, though?

Hey, isn't this the same price for Vinnie? Oh wait...

That's why you don't give an old man an NTC

He's going to waive his NTC once he's sent to Toledo

Slightly too long of a contract, but then again I think Columbus fans could do with familiar faces

And he's done for the offseason. We like our team

So? Do it anyway. Paybacks a beeotch.

This is Holland's move? Seriously?

I don't think Holland will do this. He was quoted weeks ago saying that getting a healthy Samuelsson was like picking up a UFA. Plus, the deadline just expired for buyouts.

You know, I was trying to be a little positive. But you're right. Losing Flipper and Brunner and not replacing them sounds like the best idea EVAR

Not sure I can tolerate watching Holland not improve a team that was a couple pieces away from the Finals. How do you propose to avoid another first or second round exit? Oh hey I've got an idea, let's field the same exact team again and see if it works.

Loui gets love here because he's exactly what the Wings need. Oh well, Sammy will power the team into the Finals
