RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Overpaying for Guerin is not what the Wings need to do. I don't know why everyone thinks our offense will suck so bad. I rather liked the lines in the playoffs - and we scored alot of goals. While it's not the cure for everything, we can pick up a winger in March if needed....

Guest Crymson Report post Posted July 5, 2007 Damn. I wanted Guerin here.... but not for that much money. No wonder Holland hasn't been that active. GM's be overpaying! Not much left out there now. I'll be curious to see how our offense does this year. We'll have zero trouble making the playoffs, and at present we'll be well set for cap space at the deadline. We'll be OK. Notice: there was a typo on TSN. The contract by the Islanders is actually for TWO HUNDRED years. Hahaha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 Ah. I can breathe again. I would have ripped Holland up and down for weeks if he would have signed Guerin. Definitly not what the Wings need. Looks like the Islanders continued their usual trend of overpaying players way more then their worth. First Fedotenko, now Guerin and Comrie. That's like a triple whammy!

Salviaman 104 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 for the Isles. Way to overpay a player past his prime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 Well at least now Guerin won't have to worry about disappearing in the playoffs, since the Islanders won't be going there anytime soon. Thank you Ken Holland for not signing Guerin. I'm not sure Guerin can even be classified as a top six forward anymore. Excellent non-move made by Holland.

FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Let the insults toward Kenny commence. Before you start, see contract details: 2 years/$9m. $4.5m per year. Go Isles. We'll have zero trouble making the playoffs, and at present we'll be well set for cap space at the deadline. We'll be OK. I find myself agreeing with Crymson (first time in weeks ),none of the remaining forward UFA's who were left after July 2nd are not what we need. Kenny chose the right path here,re-sign Hasek & Huds and still got cap space to make trade deadline interesting. I'm thinking there will be a one more surprise signing - a la Greg Johnson.
