Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 was hoping he would sign a longer deal, this definately gets me closer to an Eaves jersey, right after i get my hudler No offense, but why do you want to get players that are not long term pieces of the puzzle? I mean I love these guys, but I don't have the money to buy fourth and third line player sweaters. I wish I did.... but that is something else all together.

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 While Mursak will eventually move onto a scoring line, he could start off on the 3rd or even 4th, because he's got those bottom pairing qualities. I'd love to see Mursak - Helm - Eaves. The wheels on that line... No doubt, that red blur would be fun to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 No doubt, that red blur would be fun to watch. Take Eaves off that line in a few years and give me a line of Mursak Helm Ferraro, they would be called the mach 3 line or something. Ferraro won the fastest skater in the top prospects game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I love these guys, but I don't have the money to buy fourth and third line player sweaters. I wish I did.... but that is something else all together. No kidding. I just got my Franzen jersey from River City Sports. It cost me quite a bit and I am happy with it. I've recently started collecting Wings jerseys. So far I have Datsyuk, Zetterberg and now Franzen. All players who will be Red Wings for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave 31 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 right now i only have 2 zetterberg, 2 datsyuk, 1 filppula, yzerman and lidstrom and Fedorov, Not sure why I want an eaves, I only get jerseys of players i like, I could get franzen, but if he wasn't on the wings i wouldn't cheer for him or anything, Hudler I would like on any team, it is better that he is on the wings same as Eaves, plus i like number 17, Kurri wore 17 and he was awesome (although never a redwing) Other jerseys i would get from past or current redwings...Ranford, Carson, shanahan,kronwall,holmstrom,, oh yeah i think i also have about 8 other jerseys not personalized that is what i would get eaves on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 nah i need a jersey to go with each of my hats There needs to be an Abby only jersey section... or jersey shirts or whatever. Anything to look cool with a bunch of colors gathered in one area. Very gimmicky but what the hell... Abby is the ****! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thomaz5 3 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Very nice A great utility guy that sparked our improved PK. Hard working, easy going, very Red Wings like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 So I'm thinking this puts Abds at 850k and Helm at 950k. I don't know. Abby has less experience and production than Miller and Eaves. I know we think he'll be in that ballpark because of his last contract but that was two-way. He didn't earn anything near that nearly 900K contract. Maybe they can come at a little cheaper than those numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Sweet. That means we got a pair of 10+ goal scoring PK assets for an average cap hit of $700,000 each. Helm and Abdelkader's agents will have a tough looking at these deals and asking for 1 mil or more for their clients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you check all of Chicago's guys that fill the same role seem to be getting at least twice that, and from other teams!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeowingsfan 16 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 So I'm thinking this puts Abds at 850k and Helm at 950k. Abdelkader had a cap hit of 850k last season, so he has to make more than that next season due to a minimum mandatory raise of I think 5%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Get Rid of Mickey 23 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Excited to hear this. Hope he can ditch the injury bug and have a consistent season. I think he can really surprise a lot of people this season now that he'll be more comfortable with his role on this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 Abdelkader had a cap hit of 850k last season, so he has to make more than that next season due to a minimum mandatory raise of I think 5%.
