babygorilla 1 Report post Posted June 27, 2008 I know he didnt have the stellar stay here in Detroit we all hoped for. But I think he is now healthy, has lost 30 pounds, and has a grit that is nice around the net. I for one would take him if he didnt ask for a ton of cash, and wanted to play for a true cup contender.

Shouldve stayed a wing bert, probably wouldve had a way better season. no I'm glad he is gone, he was nothing but truble for the Red Wings. If he isn't good enough for the Ducks why should he be good enough for the wings? We have young talent we need to devolop, and players to sign next year. He would be getting in the way of both of those things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyoski 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2008 I'd take him back. But what's the deal with his salary, would we have to pay the $4 million he's under contract for? If you picked him up before he cleared waivers then yes, any team foolish enough would be on the hook for $4mil next season. He will clear waivers and probably sign a 1 year deal somewhere in the 2-3 million range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
