Travis 576 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 good old days?? LOL we didnt get 40 yr old washed up players and overrated injury prone guys , back in the day we got the best The Red Wings obtained plenty of "over the hill" guys back then. Or did you forget where the "Red Wings are old" narrative came from? Weiss has averaged 74 games a year since 02-03 and that's with the mere 17 games he played this year.

gurnsy200 17 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I'd much rather have Weiss at 4.9 than Fil at even 4 per. Great signing. 4 Lazerbeam, Jericho613, sjr2012 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cupcrazy 13 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 guys who are bitching i dont understand The wings are a better team today then they were in game 7 vs Chicago I agree, Holland has done a great job today giving Dats and Hank all the help he can. In the salary cap era he can only do so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Not sure how we sign Gus, Andersson and Smith with 2.3 milion but there must be some kind of plan in place. There will be more than 2.3 million. The wings have trade a couple forwards after today's signings. Trade for picks = cap space 1 Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 trust me we over spent its a week ufa class like you said .... waste of money and for 5 years .... ouch 4.9 is a steal in a weak FA class when teams want to overspend. 1 nuts2u reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 I was doubtfull of Holland going in today based on his last 5 years but hes done pretty good. Not a homerun day so far but he has made the team better. Now just get Brunner under contract and trade Sammy to SIberia or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowings2414 3 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 GREAT sign, bye bye FIl, Cleary, and Sammy... be nice to see us get brunner back, although I don't know where he'd fit... Why would we want Miller back? Honestly would have taken Brunner over him in a heartbeat. So now my question is where does Miller, Eaves, Emmerton fit into this mess? I mean, I'd take Nyquist, Andersson, and Tatar over any of those three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaman 713 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 Helene St. James @HeleneStJames 1m Daniel Alfredsson right wing who shoots right + Stephen Weiss no. 2 center (shoots left) = good day for #RedWings, and they may not be done.

Opie 308 Report post Posted July 5, 2013 GREAT sign, bye bye FIl, Cleary, and Sammy... be nice to see us get brunner back, although I don't know where he'd fit... Why would we want Miller back?

I mean, I'd take Nyquist, Andersson, and Tatar over any of those three. Miller may not offer much as far as goal scoring and points go, but him on the PK, gives Z and Dats a chance to rest instead of having to play in all facets of the game. Sure in a big moment you want Z out there killing penalties. But with Miller, Andersson, and Eaves killing Penalties the way they have, with Helm back the PK should be very strong. And at about a million a year Miller makes sense to me. Not the most important signing but a very good one and cheap nonetheless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
