  1. Yeah but losing the 1st rounders can't really hurt that much for the Red Wings. It would be the perfect time to use an offer sheet.

    Wings should sign Paul Kariya

    You should become GM of the Leafs or the Rangers - you've got their ideology down to a t.

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    Before looking a bit into contract specifications I thought the NHL would've accepted it. But after a closer peek that move is obvious. But there'll be a new deal out soon but one with a much higher cap hit.

    McCarty hired by 97.1

    Not surprised by this, a blossoming entertainer with proper hockey creds and with a great sense of humour. Gonna be good next season.

    NHL Rejects Kovalchuk's Contract

    Not really surprising. But I guess this means we're narrowing in on what is considered acceptable.

    Hockey Card Collectors

    Oh I used to collect them properly. Had a really nice Fedorov collection - probably at least 50ish different ones. Actually they should still be around. I have no idea where anymore though. Should probably try to find them.

    Kovalchuk Re-Signs with Devils

    Certainly. But given that they've let those contracts slide it would have to take quite a push for the brass to step in, e.g. signing Doughty to a 25 year contract or something. Besides, my main reason for replying was to post the video under a thin veil (very thin) of promoting discussion.

    Gagne to Lightning

    And I'm guessing Zherdev is supposed to solve the goalscoring issues that might come up. We'll see if that pans out, he's got more to prove than Hudler.

    Gagne to Lightning

    It always comes down to the injury factor with Gagne. No doubt that he's a great goalscorer and it'll be fun to see what he can accomplish with a guy like Stamkos. Or better yet he'll manage to "revive" Lecav's career a little bit. He's only signed for the next season so I hope that Stevie didn't send too much to Philly.

    Kovalchuk Re-Signs with Devils

    Finally. This Kovie thing got to the point where I really didn't care where he signed as long as he did sign before I became old and gray.

    Tatar a regular for 2010-2011?

    One more season with the Griffins will do him a lot of good. Detroit does not have a history of rushing players and they don't have any need to start doing so this season.

    Mikko Koivu stays with Wild

    Hold on a sec. $9M in the LAST year? ...Does that make sense to anyone?

    How much can Modano make there if they're throwing around cash like this?

    Red Wings Making Play for Modano

    Given that nothing else is happening this Modano thing is way more annoying than it should be.

    Dumbass Chicago prospects

    Yes because no one ever got injured from a random hit/fall. Oh wait, that happens all the time. Some people are just unlucky. And in this case it was also incredibly unnecessary.

    RUMOR: Wings Offer 1-year Contract to Maltby

    Good news everyone... In all seriousness though - is this the price of loyalty?

    You really think that he gave a damn about the management of the Toronto Maple Leafs?

    Osgood may retire following this season

    It all depends on how this season goes for Osgood. If he can lighten the load for Howard successfully then I don't see why Osgood can't be resigned for one more season. Otherwise it's probably time for another FA signing. Don't really see the Red Wings trusting goal-tending duties to two youngsters. Maybe time to bring Conks back one more season. I think he's available after the next season.
  21. SweWings

    Kovie

    Should also depend on whether or not the team drafted the player. And maybe how long the contract extends past the age of 35.

    Smith sustains shoulder injury at prospect camp

    Well that has to be gutting for him. I'd hoped to see what he could accomplish.

    Dan Gilbert's message to fans regarding LeBron James

    I was referring to this: But I guess it's kind of irrelevant either way.

    Dan Gilbert's message to fans regarding LeBron James

    ... If you really think that Lebron will not be a major factor in any championship Miami may win then good for you. Any title he would've won with Cleveland would've been rated much higher but why risk it? The fact that he pissed on Cleveland and set the place on fire as he left doesn't make his reason for leaving any less relevant. You may dislike him for it but if he wants to win going to Miami makes sense.
  25. Always liked Steve Nash and I bet he can probably play some hockey. He's got the heart for it at least.
