That's just UFA speak for "I couldn't take Kenny for a ride". Jagr learned that earlier in the day.

NHL Live was ripping on Wiz for being "one of the most overpaid" players this UFA to cash in. They did not approve of his contract.... but went on to say Columbus is a weak hockey market and need to overpay to get anyone to play there.

So are you saying he knew they were talking about that and he responded in kind? Still doesn't make sense for that...

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.

What can I say? Enjoy your losses, Wiz. 5 years on your contract you will be screaming to get traded to Pens, Phily or Detroit. But YOUR rights will be traded to Winnipeg or Florida or Islanders or Monthreal.
Sweet. This dude was brought here for one reason, to punch people in the head - every other thing that he can do, other Wings can do better. I like that we have a head-puncher. The league has other, better head-punchers, but this one is ours. Better than nothing. Good work, Kenny!

'NHL Live' is not 'NHL on the Fly'. The guys on NHL Live were ripping on Wiz. NHL on the Fly interviewed Wiz when he basically said Detroit was never on his list of teams.

It's not like Mr. Ilitch is Dollar Bill - we've always spent to the cap. I think we pay what we can to have a well-rounded team; if that means players get paid less here than elsewhere, yet they get to play with a great team with a perennial chance for the Cup, who wouldn't take a little less?
I'm in the "he's entitled to his opinion" camp. Whatever. And I can't really blame him for still being pissed about his uncle. I'd probably feel the same way, new management or no.
Someday it will sink in that players take less here because they are treated with an insane amount of loyalty in return. He can ponder that when he's missed the playoffs a few years and his contract becomes an albatross in a market that has a lot less fans, albeit rabid ones.

Can't wait to read the "Phoenix: I still think it's a hockey market" chapter of Gary Bettman's autobiography. I'm guessing it's going to be chapter 11.

Columbus picked up Carter and Wiz so they may move up from 13th to 8th but we do play them a helluva lot during the season and if I recall, for some reason, they have our number. At first I was disappointed cuz I thought with Ralfalski retiring, we could pony up 5.5 for 6 but now that I hear he is a spoilted entitled rat ... glad we didn't get him.
