I said Tardif would be back, and you all mocked me

UFA - Filppula - Mursak
Tatar - Emmerton - Pare
Owens - Andersson - Tardif
UFA - Raedeke - Vigilante/Archibald/Cord/

Pyett-Janik
Lashoff-Smith
Ehrhardt-Kolosov/Piche

McCollum
Pearce


That's how I imagine it'll end up looking like. Im guessing Coatzee will spend one more year in juniors seeing as Detriot like to be patient, and that there will be more roster spots next season when Mursak, Tatar and the like get a bump up to the NHL. I'd like that spot on the 4th line to be filled with an enforcer. Archibald and Cord I hope do enough in camp to earn a contract and get a place on the GR roster. If that happens, then I think we'll be tough enough to succeed in the AHL. We still need that UFA veteran scorer on the 1st line though. Not too sure what the defensive pairings will end up like. Anyones guess. Im hoping Janik will stay up with Detroit.

Goaltending HAS to be better this season.

MacDonald is back in the fold so goaltending will be muuuuch better!

I wonder where Johnson and Minard will fit into the roster...

does anyone know if Armstrong, Owens, Williams or Crosty will be back?

[uk_redwing]

Owens is the only one out of that lot which will be back.

Crosty has been replaced today by Greg Amadio. One of the worst fighters in the AHL. He's massive. He fights alot (26 fights last season) but he SUCKS at fighting. He hugs, he grapples, he always loses. Crosty was a very good fighter. Shame they decided to go with Amadio instead.

[Andy Pred 48]

I would like to see Crosty signed up, the guy is a forward/D-man so he could provide the grit for the forwards
on the 4th line. We do seem light with that type of player and we need to protect the likes of Mursak, Tatar and
Pare guys Tardif can drop them but he's more middleweight whereas Paul can go with the heavys.

Me and Drumnj stream every game on justin.tv

You will have to let me know some of those links.

Can never have too much hockey.

Sergei Kolosov has re-signed with Detroit, a two-way contract according to a Russian Red Wings blog via Malik.

Excellent, our defence is looking quite strong.

In fact, I do like the look of our roster for this upcoming season. Lashoff, Smith and Andersson are great additions, Mursak and Tatar will be even better, and Filppula and those two FA's we signed seem to be good fits.

[Aussie_Wing]

With Stephen Johnston getting a camp try-out, maybe we’ll see him with the Griffins after all! Here’s hoping anyway!

[DarbyGuy]

John Vigilante will not be re joining the Griffins this year.

He is joining a team in Italy.

[Andy Pred 48]

John Vigilante signs for Asiago in Italy. good luck John enjoy the exp of playing in Europe.
