vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I would think the presser I heard about but can't find a link to is unnecessary at this point. We know for sure Nick is coming back and I don't think anyone cares in the least what we're paying him, so we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief and move on to more important matters like what we'd like to do with Hudler.

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 Just heard this on the radio. I'll look for streams in a minute. Cross your fingers! I don't know that a press conference is exactly good news... This could be a retirement announcement... just playing devil's advocate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 That's why I said cross your fingers, but the ticket said it looks like he's coming back. That's just what I heard on the radio. I can't find notification of this presser on the Wings site, so I'm still searching for a stream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 Press conference IMHO, is not good news. Dear God, for all Wings fans sakes, let me be wrong. 1 Uncle Danny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 The fact that its Nick AND Ken, leads me to believe he's playing another year and they've come to an agreement on a contract.. If it was a retirement, it would just be Nick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 Per Craig Custance's twitter... "Lidstrom news coming today. Red Wings holding 11a.m. conference call with Holland and Lidstrom." So is it a full press conference, or just a conference call? If it's just a "conference call", then it might be a "back for another year" type deal. Dear God, I hope that's what it is.

Now we gotta fill our top 2 spots on D? jesus... The reports are that he's coming back, so I don't think it's bad, for now at least... I think it's a presser, because I suspect he is going to officially announce that this is last season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I won't be too upset if he didn't, but I really hope that he took a paycut to give Holland an abundance of cap to work with, seeing that this is his last season (more than likely). We'll see... Lidstrom 1 Year, 4.75 million cap hit, maybe with incentives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
