Rice 42 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Bruce Garrioch: Defenceman Brian Campbell will be going to the unrestricted free agent market. But, it's doubtful he'll be wearing an Ottawa uniform. Senators GM Bryan Murray said today he had discussions with San Jose GM Doug Wilson about acquiring Campbell's rights before he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, but the asking price was too high and Ottawa really can't afford to sign the former 67's defenceman anyway. Campbell has informed the Sharks he won't be back. Bad news for the Sharks and maybe the Wings too. They gave up a lot for Campbell and he wasn't all that impressive in the playoffs anyway. I'm putting my money on Stuart signing with San Jose. Before anyone says it, there is no way the Wings sign Campbell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blood On The Ice 15 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Do you think the Wings will go after Campbell? Campbell will NOT be coming to detroit. He would cost more than Stuart. If the wings don't sign Stu, then I see the wings going with what they have in D. And if needed, trade for another D man at the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

egroen 384 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 I am beginning to think Stuart will end up in San jose or Anaheim (if Neidermayer retires or they plan on trading Schneider)... I am fine with it. Give the young guys time to develop, and if they are not there yet, pick up a defender at the trade deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undoubtedly, some joker will make a post about how Bowman played Fedorov on defense 10 years ago, and because it succeeded for 2 or 3 games, we should take a run at doing it again.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 Just imagine Federov and Meech on this team! They'd be alternating forward and defense and the other team wouldn't knwo what to do about it!

It would be a stretch of the imagination to think any member of the Ottawa Senators had a good season, specifically Wade Redden. You can smell the regret of the Senators management choosing to re-sign him over Zdeno Chara. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bro-in-law, who lives in SJ, is best friends with Brad's wife's uncle. My sis tells me, the Stuarts love the life style of CA & won't take family away from friends. He has his cup......see ya!

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 REDDEN REDDEN REDDEN REDDEN!!!!! Please get Wade Redden Kenny, He would be Awesome. I couldn't agree more, even though I like Stuart. Wade would be like getting another Nick Lidstrom, a poor man's of course. Plus I don't think it would be for that much, he has been down for a while and if you snap him up while people are gushing over Campbell then you would be fine. I did note that Scotty really likes Brian.... I have to say that I disagree with the concept that we cannot pay a Dman more then Kronners 3 million. How much has the cap changed since we gave Kronner that contract? I think if you gave Stuart 3.5 then it would most likely just account for inflation via the cap??? I really think making a hard line isn't a great idea. You can give him 3 million adjusted via the cap. The team philosphy should be to have a pay grade for role, but things change year to year. Let us say that Franzen has a sick year and puts up like 60 goals, and wants to get paid. Would Kenny play hardball because he doesn't want to pay him more then his idea for a third forward? Is he going to refuse to pay Zetter more then Pavel, even if he demands nine million? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rice 42 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 Need I remind you that Redden was paid $6m this year and had a very good season? Redden has been pretty bad the past two seasons. He's going to get overpaid based on reputation but he hasn't been great since '05-06. Here come the Fedorov posts. Undoubtedly, some joker will make a post about how Bowman played Fedorov on defense 10 years ago, and because it succeeded for 2 or 3 games, we should take a run at doing it again.
