You're right, we can't make any assumptions. So next year under contract over 35 are two players. Two players over 35 years of age isn't old. And even with 8 players 35 or over last season, we were only the oldest team by an average of 1 year of age.

If Bieska resigns with Vancouver, then why can't the Wings get him? Too big of a payday on the FA market?

I think the Vancouver defense was exposed against Boston. You can blame some bad goals on Luongo, but he needs help. Bieska and Ehrhoff and the boys hung him out to dry more than a few times. No thanks to Bieska over Wiz, if Holland signed both then cool, but the obvious choice is obvious... Wisniewski! (plus he is right handed)
SOmeone will overpay for Bieska, that someone shouldn't be Holland...

You'd have Abdelkader/Helm/Miller/Eaves/Holmstrom/Bertuzzi set to become RFAs/UFAs respectively.
Hudler also turns UFA at that point. I understand you don't like Hudler... but is it just that you simply don't notice anything about him? That's probably what it is; you have some psychological trauma related to the drafting of Hudler, which causes you to be unable to see him or any information about him except in an argument.
They have doctors who can fix those conditions.

I'm guessing being condescending is one of those treatments?

I would love both actually.

No thanks to Bieska over Wiz, if Holland signed both then cool, but the obvious choice is obvious... Wisniewski! (plus he is right handed)
SOmeone will overpay for Bieska, that someone shouldn't be Holland...
I thought Bieska was their best defenseman. They might have won if they didn't have the injuries, or if the Sedins played well, or if Rome didn't make the biggest mistake ever and destroy Horton...

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.
