2014 Offseason League Signings and Trades

When you aren't a premiere destination teams need to overpay some free agents to become more attractive to other free agents. Similar to what the tigers did when they signed pudge. Kenny has done nothing. Again. His best move since the cap was the Hossa signing and that only happened because Hossa called him.

@HeleneStJames: #RedWings offered Niskanen 7 years, $38.5 M but were told before free agency began DET not a destination for him.

Ultimately $250,000 a year is what separated us... oh, and the lack of desire to be in Detroit. The stinking rotten town it is.

How much longer? As long as the streak continues, that's how long.

Meh... I'm not interested in keeping a playoff streak alive when we get beat out in the first or second round every year. I am however interested in keeping a playoff streak alive when we're actually Stanley Cup contenders. Hell... look at Pittsburgh firing their GM and Coach. Not saying that's what I want to do... but at some point you have to demand better.

As I said. We're the new Islanders.

I never said I was interested in it either. But the Wings management is.

It's a sad day when even a middle of the pack defender like Niskanen completely rules out Detroit as an option.

If you aren't a desirable destination anymore you know sometimes overpaying is going to get the job done. Offer him 45 million over 7 years and let's see if you aren't a destination again. But our GM rather gets outbid over 2 million or whatever...

Love Nil now trolling the Wings with Eaves signing lol

If I wanted to see no action I'd be watching the soccer cup right now..

Our goal for this season will be to win two games in the playoffs. That'll be an improvement over our one win against the Bruins.

We're a team on the rise, baby!
