Detroit # 1 Fan

Looks like a hypocrite now, says he wants out, the Sens get him out, and he says "nah" Losing alot of respect for Heater.

You mean life as Stanley Cup champs? Hey sounds good to me....

Have you seen Clutterbuck play?!? He goes 500% every shift, hits everything, and has a decent scoring touch too.

The North East. Hey Mount Royal eh, nice place! Might be going there next year, or possibly the year after. Not sure how much longer I'm staying in Cowtown haha.

Good deal for Edmonton. Getting rid of Penner is a great thing, Cogliano is a great young kid, but Heatleys scored 50 goals twice, you make that sacrifice.

I would like any of them here. Sullivan may be small, but he's gritty, talented and has a heart the size of the moon.

This is bizzaro world right now because I'm defending Crymsons post, but he doesnt like gritty North Americans, at all. He's very pro Lidstrom and Datsyuk, etc He was simply giving his opinion of Hossa, just because he scored 40 goals in the regular season doesnt make it ok he took the Finals off.

I think this is the first time we've ever agreed on anything Crymson! Thanks for the 40 goals, but a monkey could've done what you did in the Finals.

I had forgotten until Drake and Helm the last two postseasons respectively what physical players that are effective are like on the Wings. Now we get a full season to see how that works.

Sure will, probably for the Griffins radio. It's just strange, I read on mlive like 5 days ago they'd both been offered 2-way deals, now it's being reported that they wont be offered contracts at all. In any case, I'll miss em both.

That really sucks. Cant see at all how they'd hurt the kids in GR. Good luck boys, I think this is the end of the road for McCarty.

Oh no doubt, Bouwmeester is a great defenceman. Campbell is mediocre.

I suppose compared to Campbell, that's a pretty good deal. I just hate see Calgary do anything positive

Thats alot of money. 6.6 mil for 5 years

Now I'm a bit more excited for tommorow.

He said Neils coming to Detroit? or Orr? Orr would be huge, can play 5-10 minutes a night, fight anyone in the frickin league and can chip in too.

Drury and Redden, good players, overpaid by 4.5 million each.

I dont expect Detroit to sign anyone outside of a gritty guy that can chip in the odd goal. Anything more then that will surprise the hell out of me.

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired centre Scott Gomez, winger Tom Pyatt and defenceman Mike Busto from the New York Rangers in exchange for winger Chris Higgins and defensemen Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko from the Montreal Canadiens. Full deal, great trade for New York, cap space, a 20 goal scorer, 2 solid young defenceman.

Yeah, Heater to the Rangers is looking good now. They just gained 6 mil in cap room and already had close to 18 mil, now thats 24 to get Giradi, Staal, Callahan, Dubinsky and Zherdev signed. Lots of room to fit Heatley in.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=283329 theres the link, in exchange for Higgins.

His horrible contract and his signing bonus tommorow, mixed with pubicly asking for a trade, has kept everyone but Edmonton and New York from sending serious offers.

Zetterberg, Richards, Parise and Getzlaf should be top 10.... easily.

Kipprusoff sucks. I hear so much about him every year, and he just continues to s*** the bed, year in and year out. That's a stupid trade for Detroit, your losing talent level, picks, and gaining a drunk ***** show of a contract. No thanksss.
