germanwing 154 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 KHL or Pens. Can´t believe he will sign with us, though i´d like to see him play on a line with Dats! Pens will offer him the money. They´ve tried it Parise too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 It would be nice if he signed here... The man can put up points under the right environment... Wings should take a chance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustyrhoades9687 2 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 this guy is a disgrace to hockey, sad that people will accept this for a few goals. Both of ur videos prove one thing first is he got hit in the head second he's a scorer not affraid to throw a punch. Let me repeat myself so it makes sence he's a scorer I.e. wat the wings need that isn't afrraid to put in the physical aspect of hockey. Maybe you could've chose better clips.

Guest Heaten Report post Posted July 17, 2012 The slap fight is hilarious. Do people really want him on this team? He has way too many issues and is a cancer. I sure hope Holland avoids him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arag 308 Report post Posted July 17, 2012 If Semin is the last option left, than it will be ok if we get him short term and hopefully without overpayment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustyrhoades9687 2 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 Yea I second both of u I have mixed feelings towards this guy sounds like he could be the next hossa u kno might play might not but short term to prove he's ready for our kind of team great ifhe works out then sign up for full time but make him prove it that should be our selling point to him.

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 Can he learn how to back check? I think the biggest question right now is whether or not he & his agent understand that he's not worth $6.7m or more a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,522 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 Lyle Richardson of The Hockey News reports that Semin is rumored to be looking for a two year/ten million dollar contract. If this is true I honestly cannot understand why nobody (not just the Wings) has signed this guy yet. Something's screwy here. 2 WingsAlways and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall 871 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 If Semin is the last option left, than it will be ok if we get him short term and hopefully without overpayment. Semin offered 5 years and $7.5 million, Holland overpaid, fire him. Don't get Semin, Holland is a failure, fire him. Seems like a no win scenario to me. Semin can make 10 million in the KHL.

Red Crazy 201 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 that sucks,but can you imagine Pavs centering that line with a couple of 30 goal scorers on the wings I think that is just what we need. I am affraid with the lack of effort our team was showing at times last year bringing in Semin is a huge risk. Has to be a short term for the right $ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Why do we compare every mediocre or declining player that comes to this team to Dan Cleary, are comfortable with the "reclamation project" stamp, and so confident we can fix things in our system and dressing room, BUT Semin, a player with tremendous skill who didn't get along the greatest on a young team like Washington is beyond repair?

Stinkyness 10 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Why talk about Semin anyway. Holland couldn't sign a leaf to a tree....Nyuk Nyuk.....heck a better reclamation project woulda been Wolski and at only 600k. I hear his work ethic sucks but he likes to party, someone could mention to him a Stanley Cup Party lasts 4 months or so.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfall 871 Report post Posted July 20, 2012 Holland Signs Semin 4 years 20 million. Holland keeps his job and Dats has his wingman. Let me know when you wake up from that dream. No way he signs for $4 million more than Hudler. Especially when he has a $10 million dollar offer per year in the KHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
