FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted May 3, 2007 Well, I suppose I can congratulate my wife on her choice of a Maltby jersey. I just seems silly to wear a jersey if the guy's gone (Stevie is always excluded from that rule). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickeyisms Rule! 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 My wife, who was not my wife yet, bought me a game-worn Maltby jersey in 96-97. I still have it and love it to this day. Maltby has always been one of my favorite Wings. He doesn't score much, he doesn't hit as hard as he used to, but we all slow down over time. Maltby is a Red Wing through and through. I am shocked that some of you here (to paraphrase Ron Wilson- you know who you are) don't have enough faith that Maltby will make the right decision if he is unable to contribute to the team and retire. This 3 year contract virtually guarantees 2 things. 1) A valued Red Wing will get to finish his career as a Red Wing 2) No other team will pick him up during this time to gain his leadership and experience in their locker room.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Fine with me. Maltbys a good guy. Nicest guy I've ever met , always signs autographs , good defensive hockey player. 800K is a steal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 I would have to believe this means that Holland only intends on keeping one of Bertuzzi and Calder, or perhaps dropping both picking up one new forward as neither has looked particularly good in the postseason. [/font] Signed for next year from current roster: Datsyuk/Zetterberg/Holmstrom Franzen/----------------/----------------- -------------/Filppula/Samuelsson Cleary/Draper/Maltby Kopecky Lidstrom/Kronwall -------------/-------------- Lebda/-------------- Lilja Quincey ------------- Osgood Howard So Holland has to sign: Schneider, Markov, Chelios, Hudler, two more forwards and possibly one more goalie.

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 Im fine with this as long as Kenny makes a SPLASH with the remaining forward spot. There are a ton of options, and Id be happy with any of the following: Drury Smyth Handzus Zubrus Pyatt Tkachuk Sturm Blake Hartnell Gomez Kariya Drury would be an awesome choice, IMO.

HC would be so happy... Not ! Big to Drury & Smyth. Didn't the Bruins already re-sign & overpay Sturm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
