Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 With the trg camp getting ever closer, i was wondering if the front office are going to send any invites out to UFA's this year. Our roster looks almost set and I can't see any places that could be up for grabs during the camp. We look like we may have to trade one or two players anyway so any invitee's may well feel its a closed shop in Detroit. Could we get a couple in to push the guys on the brink even harder? Last year we needed D and we had Cullimore and Sopel (who must be kicking himself he didn't sign) in for the camp but this year we are deep enough on D. Maybe we get some 3rd or 4th liner Ufa's in to fight it out with our roster 2 way guys, and they could go to GR if upstaged. I like the competition this causes but I feel that any UFA coming in is probably wasting their time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lfd250 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2008 I don't think you have to worry about the wings going and looking. You answered your own question, who would want to try for a 4th line or sitting almost every game, when other teams need players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booster313 138 Report post Posted September 8, 2008 The Red Wings are inviting a few UFA's to camp on a tryout basis but they are playing for a position in GR not with the main club. Unless by some miracle they are able to really beat out someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dump-N-Thump Report post Posted September 8, 2008 I bet if we're interested in them, so are other teams, and when a player looks at our roster, they'll probaly try and look at a different team since we are stacked as hell. But with that being said i would welcome Alexei Semenov for a TC Invite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
