Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 There's little left, I'm still holding out hope for Chad LaRose, but I seriously doubt it. He's pretty much it for grit that can play thats left, just funny that Kenny says if he has a chance to get someone like that, he would but there never available, but this year a bunch were, and we miss out. Theres lots of time to go before the season, so I wont base judgement off of today, but very disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Holland boring... you better make the wings win the cup now... with this passive/inactive july 1st If you want "fun" on days like this, become a fan of the Canadiens. If you want FUN in the playoffs, stay a fan of the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

albo23 10 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Wake the f*** up Holland. Free Agency starts today and you've just slept through your chance to get a "Dallas Drake" type player. Philadelphia got an absolute ******* steal here. I will not be surprised if Philly gets deep into the playoffs this upcoming season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RWK23 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Yeh because his 4th line last year wasnt the worst in the league or anything...and it wasnt the contribution from the Pens 4th line that in the end won them the cup was it? Worst in the league? Hyperbole much? C'mon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,153 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Who are the Wings gonna get for less then 1.1 million? Wings were going to offer Hossa around 4 million, they should offer the same deal to someone else and move the appropriate players. Do something Mr. Holland! Sign anyone! Flyers are looking real strong for next season, they should be one of the favorites in the east. you got to remember, Holland is going to give 90% of our cap space to Hudler, he is our savior ya know? $1.1 for Lappy is great! No word whether he was interested in Detroit, but we could've afforded that for sure. But, lets give Hudler $3 million, so he can choke (worse than Hossa) in the playoffs...

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 That's it... With Lappy you get decent PK and TOUGHNESS 3 years for $3.5M is cheap! Why can't we have at least one guy like Lappy?! Every year same story : Holland wants to get tougher, bigger and he's doind F***ING NOTHING... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are gonna come yell at you and tell you how they won in 2008 with no Lappy type player. Of course Drake doesn't count apparently. They are going to tell youhow hudler is god and he is worth $3.0m on our team. I 'd rather see if Tanguay would come here for $3.0m before Hudler.... ...we lost out on a great deal with Lappy, not that he was my first choice, but $1.1m is an awesome deal for him and he would've looked good in Detroit for that contract...

Guest micah Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Awesome, awesome move for the Flyers and a great fit for Lappy. Philly is going to be a very unpleasant team to play against this year. Tons of sandpaper, but by no means a goon squad. Picking up Pronger and Lappy they got two guys who will hurt you, piss you off, AND still play good hockey. Good pickup at a great price. They are gonna be a fun team to watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
