Good fucking lord, Holland.
Get your shit together.

We rolled with Bieksa, Hamhuis, Edler, Ehrhoff, Ballard, Salo, Alberts, Rome two years before and we had to bring three rookies in to fill significant roles.
We had Bieksa, Hamhuis, Edler, Salo, Ballard, Tanev, Rome, Alberts and Sulzer last season and we still somehow had Rome play top 4 minutes at times.
Connauton doesn't count as an NHL dman yet.

I guess we are also back in the Parise running:
We also now have too many bottom 6 forwards, a trade has to be coming or something.
Abdelkader gone then? Wings have way too many forwards now. Tootoo is a better agitator than Abby and might have more offensive upswing (?).
@georgemalik
Methinks that Emmerton and/or Mursak and/or Kindl have played their last games as Red Wings.
‏@georgemalik
Tootoo slides in to the fourth line for toughness/grit in Homer's spot and then Sammy fills Hudler's spot.

I hate Tootoo but come on. Atleast Holland is doing something. We still have room for both Semin and Suter. Can't blame Holland for Parise not picking Det among 20 teams.
Sammy for 3 mil is better than Hudler for 4-ish. Gustavsson fixes our backup circus. Tootoo gives us an annoying player atleast.

If this happens this team will be scary good next year with this depth we just got, we NEED a top 6 guy bad though right now, Sammy is not that top 6 guy, we need a legit one in either Parise or Semin.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
A 35-year old lazy player who scores less is NOT better than Hudler. Sorry.
Hahaha
Damien cox is retweeting everyone (to show everyone the stupid) who is bashing Burke for being in the gay pride parade over handling free agency
I don't say this often
But... Props to Damien cox.
Anybody who bashes Burke for doing something in honor of his son needs to fuck off and die- leafs have 3 GMs, I'm sure they can handle it

Who does GMGM think is going to replacing Semin's scoring? Laich? Chimera? We just got a new playmaking center with no one for him to set up.

Semin and trade for Nash. I can feel it.
Good luck fitting both of those guys in when the cap drops.

Anytime a Habs fan talks about contracts all you have to say is Gomez. They can't say shit after that.
Cellphones how do they work
They didn't sign Gomez.

We still have 18 million in cap and I have a feeling we are going to be trading some bottom 6 guys seeing as how we have too many forwards, add in signing Quincey around 3.5 to 4 and I think we will be fine still.
Hudler is lazier than Sammy and smaller, slower, softer. And like I saids, Huds will be getting more than 3 mil probably.
Sammy is a good fit on the Wings and is a depth signing. Only thing bothering me a bit is 2years, but it could be worse.

Parise is funny. I get that the Rangers are the devils biggest rival (and vice versa), but is signing with another division rival REALLY that much better?

Meh.
The cap is not staying at 70M.

Weren't you saying the other day that contracts were rolled back?

We have enough 3rd line centers for 5 teams

We have enough bottom 6 guys to fill up a whole other team right now.
I said it was possible. Teams were warned that the cap might change so it's up in the air at this point. If the owners want a higher percentage of the revenue they might have to forget about rolling back current deals.
Yeah, I could go for this.
Ahem, that's why minor league teams exist!
Great point. Makes me wonder if he's thinking the same and ends up in Minny.

Most are on one way contracts, there has to be a trade coming, I doubt Holland will waive most these guys.

Yep--I think this is heading toward Nash. My guess is they send Franzen/Nyquist and some other guys.

AUGH I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ALL THE SIGNINGS I JUST WOKE UP
AHAHA TOOtootodetroittooootoooo.
What Brodeurs asking price is = bahahaha.
I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHO ANAHEIM ARE SIGNING
Why did we not sign Parros and sign some Starburns guy instead? Apparently it's because Parros wants more ice time. Glad we have an enforcer at least, hopefully he's happy with being a constant healthy scratch and can show Schultz a nice welcoming.
Not bad.
This. There's no place for homophobia or a complete lack of disrespect for a fathers fallen son in 2012.

Problem is, all of them have to clear waivers and would probably get picked up. Detroit doesn't like losing guys on the waiver wire for nothing, which is why I see a trade happening very soon.
Yeah, I could go for this.
DAT GOALTENDING
They're already full of bottom 6 guys too though.
Our defense did our goaltending ZERO favors last year.

Pretty much except this year we are going to have a few of our top prospects moving up to the AHL, so now we'll have some more potential top 6 players.

Thing is "some other guys" would probably be atleast 2 of Smith/Tatar/Jarnkrok, making the price way too high. Get rid of Emmerton using a rifle out back, don't sign Abby (sry dude) and sign Semin.. done and done.

Would have loved to keep Salo (10 years with the team is pretty damn good) but pretty hard to beat TB's retirement home offer of too much money, no income tax and Ohlund's knee-draining kit. Wonder if we'll sign any free agents that aren't just "skate once at training camp" type offers
