LeftWinger 5,072 Report post Posted June 28, 2012 It's nice to see Holland qualified Quincey and is now letting him stew over it while he tends to more pressing issues....Schultz and Suter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,072 Report post Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Well, with the news about Schultz choosing to lose his entire career instead of win multipe Cups. I guess it's Quincey and Suter to round out the top 6 defensemen... Come on Kenny, don't lose out on Suter! 10 years $100 if you have to! capgeek.com is gonna crash tonight with NEW rosters being created... EDIT: Gimme Suter/Semin/Doan/Prust/Montoya. Call it...Book the Parade. Screw losers who think they are bigger than the game... Edited June 28, 2012 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 28, 2012 I have it on good authority that Brandon Prust will be a Red Wing in 2012-13. Take that for what it is, coming from a 26 year-old native of London, Ontario. I can just imagine the smile of joy you gave Leftwinger there. (I'd LOVE if Prust signed here as well... he's exactly the kind of guy we all wished Abdelkader would become) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take that for what it is, coming from a 26 year-old native of London, Ontario. Im from London Ontario as well an I am same age as Prust. You happen to know him by any chance? Has he stated that he would like to sign a contract with the Wings? Talked to Kenny etc? Edited June 28, 2012 by redwingfan19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,072 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 Didn't want to start a new thread... We know Q is going to arbitration, but what is the hold up on Abdelkader I wonder? Is he looking at offers? Is he waiting for all the dust to settle? I really would hate to lose him, I am looking forward to seeing him team up with Tootoo for some chaos out on the ice...

DangleDangleBeach 16 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) i was actually just thinking abbys situation as well. there is kind of a log jam up front right now especially in the bottom 6. add in the reports that the wings are interested in semin and/or doan its just hard to imagine where everybody is going to fit. without abb, we have 15 forwards. bottom 6- mursak, eaves, miller, emmerton, helm, tootoo, "abs" could go either- bert, cleary, sammy, brunner, nyquist top 6- datsyuk, zberg, filppula, franzen. even if we dont sign any top 6 forward(s) and re-sign abs that gives us 16 forwards signed. both nyquist and brunner have the 2-way contracts and in reality could be sent down which would really suck and is something that i really hope doesnt happen but even then, still are at 14 forwards. (14 forwards, 7 d, 2 g) does this mean emmerton goes? eaves? mursak? signing doan and or semin would improve out top 6.... but then again it seems to make things even more complicated. maybe abs or miller can play d lol Edited July 9, 2012 by DangleDangleBeach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RyanBarnes! 293 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 Detroit Free Press "The Wings have been talking to Abdelkader's camp for a while, and the negotiations were going well enough that Abdelkader opted not to file for arbitration by the July 5 deadline, unlike teammate Kyle Quincey. Quincey has a hearing July 25, and while the sides could reach an agreement before then, Quincey would, through arbitration, be assured a one-year deal that would leave him an unrestricted free agent next summer." I hope both are signed to long term deals shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I can't remember where I read it on Twitter (don't worry, not HockeeyyyyInsiderrrrr) but someone had quoted Abby as saying he expected to sign his new contract next week.

Guest Johnz96 Report post Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't surprise me if he thinks his 8 goals in 81 games and 0 playoff points is somehow good enough to test free agency for a big money contract. Tootoo did, with less goals (1 of which came on the PP (an opportunity Abdelkader wasn't afforded) scored with a lot more ice-time (only 3 seconds of which was short-handed) Edited September 1, 2012 by Johnz96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
