Okay hurry up and score three so I can see MSU wup Ohio State.

Franzen, as he has never been able to do, will not carry his recent play throughout this whole season. Anyone who thinks he will is eating too much cornbread. He's going to be 34 in a few weeks and still under contract for six more years. Down the road, when he starts to show age, do you really want him taking a spot from Jarnkrok or possibly Mantha?

Everyone keeps on being so wrong about Franzen but continue to keep speaking about him. You'd think after you've been wrong so many times you'd keep your comments to yourself. It must be embarrassing.
Franzen is a true power forward and the only one on this team. He won't be bought out because holland isn't stupid. Him retiring early and giving the team a 3M cap penalty will be peanuts by that time with the cap going way up. Also considering having a player of Franzen's caliber would usually demand 5.5M see what Weiss was able to demand. His Defense is very undervalued on this board. He's big, strong, one of the best shots and great play maker. If this guy was on any other team he would be some of your guys wet dream to be on this team for 3.9M a year

He is big but strong? Come on I could poke him with my finger and he would fall over then his response would would be to whine and cry. He is the definition of a ***** not a power forward. He is fine of those people that everyone knows....he runs his **** sucker telling you what he is going to do but never has the balls to do it. He is a ***** don't ever label him as a power forward again its a disgrace to the REALnpower forwards of this league.


He is terrible in way more than HALF of the games he plays. That's why he should be bought out. Even though Weiss isn't scoring points he still brings more than what franzen does. Z and DAT when they're not scoring? They provide leadership and defense.

Thanks, Jimmy. Thanks for pissing away yet another lead. I've wasted so much time defending that guy it makes me sick.

I'd rather have Tootoo out then than Cleary...

I would rather have a monkey on skates out there instead of Cleary.. at least the monkey would be amusing while being devoid of talent.

Red Wings will build from within until big TV deal boosts cap in 2015-16 [Krupa]

 

“Grand Rapids won the American league championship last year,” Holland said. “Five of those guys are on this team, basically, (Danny) DeKeyser, (Brian) Lashoff, Andersson, (Tomas) Tatar and Nyquist.”

 

He said he believes two more prospects playing for the Griffins are likely to make the Red Wings roster next season.

 

“As we go along, I’m hoping those young players become more important to our team, and we’re going to pay them more,” Holland said.

 

“That’s a good thing. That’s got to happen.”

I'm really hoping our Swedes do some heavy recruiting on Steen throughout the Olympics.  Considering he's a UFA and all.

A Swedish-Canadian top level scorer who's not a liability and just entering his prime? Yes please.

Blueadams, something to keep in mind is Sheahan, Ferraro and Callahan are all eligible for waivers next season.

 

I can't see the Wings keeping Mantha, Jarnkrok and Glendening on the roster at the expense of losing all three of those guys on waivers.

In the hypotheical world from which this question hails, I'd take literally anyone over Dano at this point.

Honestly im not doubting we'll see far better play from the dinosaurs at the Alumni game than we've seen from Cleary all season.

How the hell do guys like Andersson even earn a place in the lineup? Jesus, he's just another Emmerton. 

 

Except slower and dumber. We have WAY too many stupid players on this team.

After watching Franzen's first game back against the Jets, I think it's safe to say we'll never see the old Mule again.

IDC what it is just as long as he is gone this off season.

God I just hope Holland finally makes a good move and buys him out.

It's all completely speculation at this point.

 

If Franzen had issues managing his anxiety anytime while on the Red Wings, then Holland is an even bigger fool than I thought for giving him an 11 year contract based on a few good seasons. 

Could've had Hossa.
