Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Kopy has potential to be worth that money. He showed glimpses of it towards the end of this season. I'm sure this helped Hossa's decision. He knew the Wings couldn't keep Kopy, but the Hawks said they'd sign him as well. This feels a bit strange. Gonna be weird playing against both of them a ton of times next season. That I agree with. If he strings his best patches together more often then he could definitely be worth 1.2 per season. However it wasn't worth the Wings trying to match that number, we realistically had about 750k at the max. I now see why he said he was hoping for significantly more.

Snazzy 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Looks like Chicago Blackhawks wants to be the Red Wings ugly red-headed step brother who can't do anything right... I am glad Hossa and Kops is gone. Wings will be that much better in the long run. I was hoping that Holland wouldn't give Hossa a long term deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Yeah, LGW > Scotty Bowman when it comes to putting together a hockey team. Oh wait... I'm no Kopecky fan, but I fear and respect Bowman and he's in the thick of this Chicago madness. Out of respect, I trust that he knows what he's doing. And that scares me. Yeah, because Bowman is the GM and has to answer to the Blackhawks onwer. Bowman was on the team when they signed Campbell and Huet. Some great trick he had up his sleeve then.

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I guess this is a pretty nice consolation for Hossa leaving. See ya Kopecky. I won't miss you for a second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Must have been a condition Hossa had before signing with the Hawks. That's the only logical thing behind this. Bowman probably knew it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I love all the people imploding about how Detroit won't be any good this year. They lose the only 2 guys who werent on the cup-winning roster, and the two most complained about forwards on the roster in Kopecky and Sammy. And yet, somehow, we're no longer contenders. Love it.

I love it. All that does is make the guys hungrier. Losing game 7 on home ice and now people saying the team is done because Hossa is gone. There couldn't be better motivation for the Red Wings going into next season. I am beyond excited to see the level of revenge and determination the Red Wings will have with the way guys like Z, Cleary, Lidstrom, and Ozzie compete. They should be bitter. Hopefully that translates into a stronger, more focused Red Wings team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
