I dont see how that could ever work.

Iginla is one of the best players to ever wear the flamed C on their chest, so I am sure they would welcome him back. Anyway, Wings aren't on his list so maybe time to close this thread now?

Din758 take a look at Grimey's post...Pretty much sums it all up.

Him and redmond both suck, itd be nice to have a smart hockey person in the both

Are you that one person in the world that doesn't like Mickey Redmond? Is your hell a cold, lonely one?

Ticked because they get an AHL caliber defenseman and we dont?

Agreed.

Right now this guy's a stud at the NCAA level...Last time I checked the NHL is light years away in terms of talent/maturity.

Doubt it. He's not an 18 year old kid, he's 23.

Problem is...He's 23, and used to playing against NCAA competition.

The quality of competition is just a tad higher than what he's used to...Honestly - he could struggle against AHL calibre players.

Back in the 90's, and up until the early 2000's the Wings were popular with Russian folks courtesy of our "Russian 5"...

These past several years it's been our Swedes...

I can't wait for our "Canadian" movement to begin; scoring goals, and punching faces!!!

I don't want an expensive rental.  I'll take a cheaper rental, but not one that's likely not going to say with your team and who will cost a boat load.  If we're in the market for an expensive star winger I'd chase Gaborik before Iginla.  At least he's under contract for another year.

 

Also, Iginla seriously loves Calgary, as does his family by all accounts.  Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he was traded, Calgary got a king's ransom for him, and he returned there in the off season. 

 

No thanks. 

Agreed.

What's the point of giving up a ton for the guy if all he'll do is re-sign with Calgary later this summer?

I think the next step is to put Richard Bernstein in Murph's old spot between the benches.

OK - politically incorrect, or in general poor taste on my behalf...

I see what you did there.

Belle Tire!!!! God the FSD Corporate stuff is absolute crap. I don't know all of you put up with the Bernstein commercials every 5 minutes

Personally I despise the Bernstein commercials - even worse when Mickey is in them

Wonder how much $$$ FSD gets from that law firm.....

Ahhh.....Memories of Red Wings past.

This is absurd! Who didn't love Murphy, goofy as he was. This is very sad. As Nev said, you blame ratings for a hockey game on the Pierre McGuire of your local broadcast team? "Damn, Larry is on again, can't watch my Wings tonight"... Gimme a break!

LGW should prepare a petition, or at least a thank you/support card.


I think he was entertaining. Not exactly the brightest or best, but loveable goof. What more do you want?

I agree concerning a petition, or an "e-card" for Murph...

I've always liked him; the guy's a multi-Cup winning Dman; a hockey HOF member; he's rather funny - especially when paired with John Keating...

It really boggles my mind as to whom FSD will replace him with.

The unfortunate reality is that by todays standards Perry is a "power forward"...

With that being said - Gerard Gallant in his prime would tear Perry's head off, and **** down his neck.

Classic example of a call made by the refs based on the player's reputation, and not on the actual play/hit itself.

yep you're right Holland never trades picks for players. That must be why we've had 4 first round picks since 2001.

 

Gagne would be hated here, no goals, injured, and a 3.5 million dollar salary. he couldn't really play on the powerplay, never plays on the penalty kill. is a tweener 2nd-3rd liner, that isn't fast, physical, or good defensively.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in more recent years Holland & Co had traded away late 1st round draft picks for an additional 2nd and/or 3rd round pick.

Getting away from their fans and Chelsea Dagger alone makes me love this realignment idea.

This.

Not all, but unfortunately many Chicago sports fans can be complete a$$holes...If ya don't believe me - just show up in your Red Wings jersey at the United Center the next time the 2 rivals meet.

Gotta be honest here.....

Abdelkader on the same line as Datsyuk makes me wanna puke.

Toots belongs there waaay before Abby.

Again - just my brutally honest opinion.
