Cheveldae32 32 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Alright so the Stars fans that I work with (I am in Dallas) just told me that they heard on a Dallas sports radio station that Mike is going to be throwing out the first pitch at the Tigers game tonight, in a Wings sweater. Anyone heard anything about this being a done deal???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 What most people need to remember is that the Wings arent trying to sign him to be their offensive savior. They are interested because at this stage of his career, Modano is basically the ultimate role player. He can bring offense to a 3rd or 4th line while being solid two way, still functional on the PP, and brings leadership. He has his name on the cup. I also cant see who could be a better mentor to Helm. They are basically the same type of player and Modano may be able to teach Helm how to finish a little better. 2 Frozen-Man and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone heard anything about this being a done deal???? LOL...damn, Kenny must be pushing hard. No but really it probably got mixed up with Kenny and Babs taking him to lunch then a Tiger game later today to talk things over.

Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Checking in on a Dallas Newspaper source, someone is saying that they just received a text saying that Modano has signed... http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/hockey/stars/stories/070610dnspostarsmodano.10ffd4148.html I always hate believing other newspaper sources... but.. who knows! That was just an anonymous comment in the comment section. It's not like the newspaper itself is reporting that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone heard anything about this being a done deal???? Per Live 105.3 Dallas radio.....Mike Modano IS throwing out the first pitch, and is reportedly VERY CLOSE TO SIGNING WITH THE WINGS....possibly even done already just finalizing the finer details. The Dallas fans are all saying that he should retire instead of signing with the Wings. "He should be a man and retire a Star, not sign with Detroit. Cuz lets be honest, no one down here likes the Wings."(radio host) lol love the fact that we are the envy of so many.

skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 I don't think Modano is seriously considering the other teams that have shown interest because the only team he's talked about is Detroit. At least that's the way I see it from all the interviews that have come out in the past week. No other teams were mentioned until today and it wasn't from him.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 As much as I want Filppula to have consistent minutes on the PP I have to admit that PP lines of Z-Pav-Homer Huds-Modano-Mule can help the Wings get back the best PP in the league again. 2 HankthaTank and LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Modano can play the point though? he did that in dallas if i remember correctly Yeah that's right. I anticipate that the Wings will find a way to get a right handed shot though somehow because that's just what they do, for better or for worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
