He'll be a free agent in 2 years.... in that time, Lidstrom will also be a UFA, and will probably take a cut. Kenny is good at contract negociations.

Nope. Unless they start judging on how to use an enforcer, he'll be here for a long time. He does everything else right, and when we're healthy, we're a great team.

I'd like to see Lilja dropped and Stuart re-signed. If we need another d-man, get Orpik, the guy is big and physical. Stuart at 2.5 or 3, and Orpik for 1.5 mil or 2. Samuelson, Hudler and Kopecky should be packaged and shipped off, even though Kenny wont, they should be. Re-sign Cleary to 2.5 like you said, and Filpula. Get Ryder for 2.25, Gratton for 1.25 and Avery for 2.25. Pavel Datsyuk $6.7m Henrik Zetterberg $2.65m Daniel Cleary $2.5m Tomas Holmstrom $2.25m Micheal Ryder $2.25m Sean Avery $2.25m Kris Draper $1.583m Valtteri Filppula $1.5m Chris Gratton $1.25m Johan Franzen $942k Kirk Maltby $883k Darren McCarty $550k Aaron Downey $550k Nicklas Lidstrom $7.45m Brian Rafalski $6m Niklas Kronwall $3m Brad Stuart $2.75m Brooks Orpik $1.5m Chris Chelios $1.1m Brett Lebda $650k Derek Meech $483k Chris Osgood $1.417m Jimmy Howard $900k That's what I'd like to see.

Downey must be on the team. He doesnt have to play, but he needs to stay up here. Lebda or Lilja is a toss up, they both suck ass.

Joke team. Joke Organization.

Man, I wish we'd have dumped off Kopecky and Hudler. Seriously they didnt get any ice time for a long time in the end of the 3rd and OT. If we dont get our injured back soon, Dallas will catch us. f*** the hockey gods.

When the f*** are we getting our defenceman back? Enough of being a joke already. We're playing like were the worst team in the league or something.

Hudler is useless. Why do our guys never use there good moves? I dont understand. Hahaha, we lost to the Oilers, fail.

Man, I dont think we're gonna lose.

I would've said that, but he's bound to score 1 in the next 3 years. Datsyuk fails hard at shootouts since he raped Vokoun in 06

Maltby has no luck whatsoever. He wont score another goal before McCarty comes up.

Dont blame Lilja, blame Lebda for no being able to cover ANY of the Oilers forwards.

Shoot

Glencross is running the Wings tonight, f*** this guy. Someone has to get him.

DEAR GOD PAVEL!

Man, Our PP will be so good when we get Stuart, Lidstrom, Rafalski, and Kronwall back. Chrisstt.

This must be the worst game I've seen this year. Ozzie has been the only standout

Can you imagine if he had made moves though? Kopecky & Hudler for Gratton and a 3rd, Sammy for Ryder. No complaining then! Something I just realized, the Avs got Foote and Forsberg back, s*** son, WE NEED SHANNY!

Man, it'd be hilarious if we got SHUTOUT by Edmonton. I hate getting SHUTOUT.

Bergeron>Lilja Huskins wont be playing anymore.

This is so surreal. I thought we were gonna make forward moves, but we didnt. Seeing useless scrubs like Kopecky, Hudler and Sammy skate around like chickens with there heads cut off makes me so sad, makes me miss the old depth guys, yeah those guys. The ones WHO DID THINGS THAT HAD IMPACT.

ZDH's magic is gone, last year they could do anything at will, this year...

Haha, Schnieds.

The defence isnt the problem, we're getting help there. The forwards are HORRIBLE. Getting Danny back helps, but not making a forward move will hurt us in the strech run.

PP blows.
