sjr2012 - I'd like to see Smith on the PP personally. He's got the best 1-T on our team on D anyways. If we had him on 1 pair unloading and Sproul on the other, I think we'd improve our PP considerably this season. I didn't care too much about whether we got "top UFA's" or not, I just didn't want Q or Cleary back and want Kindl gone. Those were the only moves that actually mattered to me this offseason.

Dear Holland:

[pucktividi 472]

And there it is.

Wings didn't get a right-hand shooting defenseman, but still need someone. They've made offer to Kyle Quincey (left). Waiting to hear back.

And somewhere in Sweden Adam Almquist's having a good laugh at the moment.

******* DONE, CHECK YOUR TWITTERS, IT'S OFFICIAL. GOD DAMNIT

[Jesusberg 1,256]

I could have lived with Holland doing nothing. I get that he swung and missed. Detroit isn't the destination that it once was... but Kyle Quincey is a void. He actively makes his defensive partner(s) worse. I quit.

I'm just going to sit in a corner for awhile.

Quincey signed 4.25 2yrs

Please let this be another UFA that doesn't want to come to Detroit.

Though that may be even worse. What does it say about us if not even Kyle F****** Quincey wants to sign here???

Quincey ladies and gentlemen

[mackel 674]

If we we're make a trade for big buff out in Winnipeg what do you guys this it would cost us? Or Bogo?

I know offer sheets never work out & we would be giving up our first for a couple years but Ryan Johansen offer sheet? I just don't see P.K. Leaving! Or how about Shultz for the oilers?

With the ridiculous logjam of defenseman that Washington has now (Carlson, Alzner, Orlov, Green and now Orpik and Niskanen), their need to sign a 2C (supposedly Legwand) and the fact that they have virtually no cap space, I believe that Kenny should seriously pursue Mike Green.... like right now.

[Red Crazy 201]

This better mean Ken Holland loses his job

I agree Z smith for sure could do wonders at the point but that depends on Babs given him that spot instead of Q and Kindl otherwise we might as well wave off the PP each time we get it

Why get Green? They have Kyle Quinecy!

Disagree with the assessment right now. In a 60-minute game, you're playing an average of 7-8 minutes tops on the power play (each team takes roughly 3-4 penalties per game). Unless Sproul takes leaps and bounds this off-season defensively, he is a liability still at the NHL level and does not bring enough in the offensive end to make up for that.

Lol I don't have enough beer for this day.

[Datsyukian-Deke 722]

Oh thank god we get to see Quincey for two more years. And the great thing is it was for more than Ehrhoff got. Oh praise The Lord we got Quincey! Fml

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

It's pretty simple. The Red Wings don't seem like one of the top competitive teams or a team with a lot of potential headed in the right direction.

This team continues to have no identity post-Lidstrom.

Obviously Holland doesn't get it :/

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Great...2 more years of KFQ and with a raise nonetheless... My stomach is upset. I"ll be in the bathroom for 2 more years. Thanks Kenny. I'm out.

[Shinzaki 72]

We offered Robidas the same deal Toronto did. Does anyone think we're going to be worse than the Leafs next year. Don't know if it's the city..the coach..the building...but when you offer a number of players equal or better terms than what they get elsewhere and you're a playoff team, there's a problem.

Please continue Quincey discussion/lamenting here.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

It's official. I hate ******* Kenny Holland.

[_SP_ 129]

The best part of this isn't that they re-signed him, it's that they gave him a RAISE after the last 180 games...
