cr00d 26 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) I know there's already a Recchi thread, but that was an original waiver... he's now on re-entry waivers, which means teams can claim him and pay only half of his 1.75 Million dollar salary, with Pitsburgh having to pay the other half. Considering over a quarter of the season has already been played, Recchi would only cost a team roughly 700K for the year. Is he worth it now???

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 I wouldn't even think of it here in Detroit, but I could see him working well in St. Louis or even ending landing in Edmonton - They could use the veteran leadership... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingslogo19 281 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 IMO he might as well just retire. he's had a good career, but it's time to hang them up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 Carolina will pick him up for 700k. Carolina is near the top of the standings, I don't think he'll make it to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DetroitIan Report post Posted December 7, 2007 I would say he's worth a shot now. Only having to pay half his salary is a huge selling point. A team would be foolish not to give this guy a chance. He might have a huge boost to his game with a change of scenery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted December 7, 2007 If it ain't broke don't fix it, if we were to bring someone new in they better have a bigger upside then "veteran leadership" we have plenty of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. But there should be plenty of teams out there that could use some extra veteran leadership. I will be quite surprised if no one picks him up this time around. But yeah, as for the Red Wings, no way we should pick him up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted December 8, 2007 Damn, I was hoping he'd go to a good team. Good for Mark too still have an NHL job, too bad it's with the Thrashers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
