NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 Nice deal. Looks like they say Abdelkader will get a similar deal. Assuming either Ritola or Miller are waived or traded and that if another D-man comes in Meech is gone the Wings have just around 1 million to sign a #6 D-Man If Miller and Meech are both moved, I've got a Remaining Cap Space number of $1,847,500. That means Kenny could spend roughly $1,347,500 on a Dman now (and still have his $500k injury reserve) or wait until the deadline and bring in a guy making around $4.5 million. Just some food for thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lookalive07 251 Report post Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) That hit could have been considered boarding but man was it awesome. Good to see the extension made. I'm itching for the season to start more and more each day. Edited August 4, 2010 by lookalive07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WMUCarGuy 8 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 Not really Helm related, but I was so excited when I saw this news (not that it's terribly surprising...) that I bought my yearly new Red Wings hat a bit early this year! Just ordered this bad boy! 1 Ram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motown4013 350 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 This is total homerism but I don't care. With every signing, this team feels more and more like a ginormous juggernaut just waiting to be unleashed. Can't wait for the season to start. I am TOTALLY with you on this one.....I am stoked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With every signing, this team feels more and more like a ginormous juggernaut just waiting to be unleashed. Can't wait for the season to start. I know. Hockey season means summer is over and that means this insanely oppressive heat will be gone, too. Heat indexes of 110+ suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donfishmaster 62 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 My deepest hope is, however, that Babs has spent the entire summer giving Helm "shot practice." I love his speed and aggressiveness, but what good does it do when he breaks away with the puck only to end up shooting like a 13-year old girl who just drank three pina coladas???!!!

newfy 695 Report post Posted August 5, 2010 A lot of times he seemed like he was trying to do too much out there. Hopefully he returns to his simple game of nailing people (where was that last year?), being good defensively and being a great penalty killer. If he plays his style of game the goals will come, something just seemed a bit off about him last season. Either way I still like him and hope he and his buddy Abby tear it up nex season 1 EuroWing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
