Zion 93 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Is Detroit going after Henrik Lundqvist? I can't think of a better reason why Hasek hasn't signed yet. The Rangers spent a LOT of money and the Wings always are on the lookout for goaltending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 That would have to involve Howard and at least one other top prospect. Detroit should not make this move for what could turn out to be a one hit wonder, the next Jim Carrey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 > Detroit trying to get Lundqvist?, Why else isn't Hasek signed yet? I can tell you it sure as hell isn't because Detroit is trying to get Lundqvist. If the Rangers moved Henrik than everything the just did yesterday is for naught.

Mickeyisms Rule! 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Is Detroit going after Henrik Lundqvist? I can't think of a better reason why Hasek hasn't signed yet. The Rangers spent a LOT of money and the Wings always are on the lookout for goaltending. Maybe, just maybe, Hasek is holding off on signing to allow Holland some wiggle-room on his UFA signings. They could structure the deal for more incentives, which would go against next season's cap money as opposed to loading it all on this year's cap. If a half million is the difference between keeping Bert or not, then maybe Hasek is willing to work with Kenny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the way Kenny has worded his references to Dom in the media have all strongly implied that it's a done deal, and if so, there's got to be a logical reason why it hasn't been inked yet. The rationale you gave above makes much sense to me. If so, t's good business on Hasek's part, but I think it also shows that he has a great deal of trust in Kenny, and vice versa. That must have been one helluva bottle of wine they shared! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAFGA 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 WHy in the world would the Rangers trade their future goalie? Are they afraid of another Dan Blackburn meltdown? If they want to trade him to Detroit, fine....I'd take him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
