Now that the Griffins have Exelby, I wonder if the Wings will look to trade Amadio because he got his new contract from the Griffins, not the Wings, who are now the ones in charge.

No!!! Not Amadio!

Amadio is a good dude. Was the Griffins representative for AHL's Man of the Year award for his efforts within the community.

Video on DRW.com of Kenny talking about their acquisitions featured this most-excellent picture of Exelby.

I'm just glad to see Pyett is re-signed. I think adding Exelby is a very smart move and will definetly add depth to our defensive roster. Both great signings!!

I just think he's (Pyett) a good young D-man with a lot of potential and adds great depth to the Griffins Roster. I'd love to see him up in Detroit one day but he just needs to develop a little bit more and even if he never makes the Wings roster I believe he will be a solid player on some NHL roster. All in all I'm glad to see the Wings keep as many young guys as possible so that we can explore options in the future. Our veterans aren't getting any younger and it would be good to know who we can call up and when and who can be a main-stay on the Wings roster in the future.
