captainsubtext 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Miikka Kipprusoff. I would love to see him on the Wings. I don't expect him to even enter the UFA market. The Flames will lock him up during the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vangvace 12 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Ok... so based on the assumption that the cap will increase again to say $54mil. (around $4mil more than this year as a wag) We have $25.79 mil tied up before anybody is signed. Chelios $850K (probably under but overestimating. He is on a one year contract till he dies according to the Wings org. ) Zetterberg $7 mil (Based of of this years signings. Yes that could be the home town discount. and for 8ish years) Lidstrom $6 mil (Hard to argue going much lower for the Norris Candidate) Trade Deadline $2 mil (Conservative buffer) That would leave $12.06 mil for 4 Forwards, 1 Defensemen, and 2 goaltenders. with no suits. As for the Wings other FAs. I would prob go after the following because they should still be on the cheap. Even if I do hate Osgood. Cleary Filppula Lilja Hasek Osgood Should Hasek retire after the season Lalime might be worth picking up to backup since I doubt Howard is going to move up to the NHL in Detroit.
