DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted July 24, 2015 Semin signs with Candiens for $1.1m, 1 year term. http://www.tsn.ca/canadiens-sign-f-semin-to-one-year-1-1m-deal-1.335588 Kenny, we could have done that, couldn't we? With Dats and Z's leadership in the locker room, they could have gotten his lazy arse back to a respectable performance level. Who cares. We don't need players with motivational issues. People slamming Mantha would have a field day with Semin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Chuck Pleiness @wingsfrontman 1m1 minute ago Just got confirmation on Tomas Jurco deal. It's two years at an average salary-cap hit of $900,000. Only 3k followers. Take it for what it's worth. Edited July 24, 2015 by darkmanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Pleiness is fairly reliable, in my experience. Brendan Savage is actually the beat writer who disputed the rumor that Jurco was going to sign this deal. He said that a "source" was insisting that Jurco and the Wings were very far apart as of yesterday. Edited July 24, 2015 by Jesusberg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I'm still a huge Jurco supporter. I think he has a ton of upside despite a pretty mediocre looking second season. The Red Wings botched his development last season -- he either needed to play big minutes in Grand Rapids another year or actually be utilized properly in Detroit. Nobody is going to do s*** offensively with Drew Miller and Luke Glendening. Hoping for a nice rebound from Jurco and ideally spending more time with Sheahan as his center going forward. 1 McAwesome reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some times they get it wrong, Holland loves smoke and mirrors. Just glad everyone is under contract now. 1 Jesusberg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just glad everyone is under contract now. It doesn't help everyone in the Wings media is a lap dog for the organization. When they claim someone is "far apart" on a deal, obviously that reflects more poorly on the player than Holland. 1 Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just glad everyone is under contract now. Didn't even notice that Pleiness tweeted about it yesterday. Savage has been on the defensive for the past few hours over it. I actually feel bad for the diggers sometimes - we tend to remember when they swing and miss, more than when they're right about something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually feel bad for the diggers sometimes - we tend to remember when they swing and miss, more than when they're right about something. Totally. It's why to this day Aaron Ward still makes fun of himself on TV for reporting Iginla to Boston at the deadline prematurely a few years ago. It happens. I respect all of the Detroit diggers, (except a certain one who always paints Holland as an angel...) They usually have the Detroit centric news faster than the MSHM. Couple of times it's wrong, and like you said, that's all we remember. Just reading their twitter mentions after a wrong report is painful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Story: http://bit.ly/1JE3Br7 Savage more reliable? Looks like they weren't as far apart as some would have led us to believe. This makes me happy, Jurco has been my favorite of the kids so far. I just hope he gets utilized properly, if so the numbers will come and his confidence will return. 2 krsmith17 and GoWings1905 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's to hoping he starts developing towards a physical goal scorer Even if he doesn't light up the scoresheet, a big, physical, fast kid whos defensively responsible and can still bring a good amount of skill to the bottom six isn't a bad thing. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,908 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 yay! Now we wait for dominoes to fall! Seriously I hope he gets a chance to setup in front on the net on the PP. Imagine him screening and Pulk's 300 MPH slapper from the blueline! Yes! 1 TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 How awesome would it be if Homer managed to teach Jurco his GPS-like ability to stay outside of the crease (seriously, how many of the goals called back on Homer for goaltender interference not actually interference?). We've seen the videos of Jurco's hands, that could be a deadly combination on the PP, Jurco and Pulkkinen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,908 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I'm hoping that is an experiment we will see. PP #1 Hank, Pav, Abby Kronner, Green PP #2 Nyquist, Richards, Jurco, Dekeyser, Pulkkinen. Nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather have kronner by himself on the first unit like last year and dd and green together on the second because kronner can qb the pp by himself dekeyser isn't great offensively and green isn't great defensively so that would work out better for both 1 PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
