Aaron Rome to Dallas for 3 years.

They overpaid.

 

[ZeroGravity]

1.5 million cap hit for Rome.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

We have enough bottom 6 guys to fill up a whole other team right now.

and enough old men to fill a retirement home.

 

[Crazymoogle]

and enough old men to fill a retirement home.

Still time for Burke to sign Hasek

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

1.5 million cap hit for Rome.

Geez, $1.5M for a bottom-pairing depth defenceman... well he did play on the power play in Vancouver. But who didn't?

Spoiler

Ballard.

 

[pringles]

and enough old men to fill a retirement home.

With Lidstrom and likely Holmstrom gone the only thing getting older is this joke.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I don't even know what to say right now, I guess tomorrow is going to be even crazier with what happens, though I know a trade is coming, I just don't know what.

 

[cube444]

Bobby Mac just said on TSN that the Wings are still in the Parise sweepstakes.

 

[Marvie_3]

Well the Wings did bring back Samuelsson......

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Bobby Mac just said on TSN that the Wings are still in the Parise sweepstakes.

If we do somehow land both Suter and Parise, I will forgive getting Tootoo and bringing Sammy back.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Whitney signed with the Stars too? 9m...odd deal, thought the guy wouldn't keep moving around at 40 (and a NMC too?)

 

[Marvie_3]

Gonna trade Datsyuk to free up enough cap space?

 

[Plinko]

Gonna trade Datsyuk to free up enough cap space?

Franzen.

 

[scissorfight]

what the fuck

kill me

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Franzen.

This, also maybe waive Eaves and trade a few of the younger guys like Emmerton and Mursak.

 

[Marvie_3]

Franzen.

I'm sure teams will be lining up to take that shitty deal.

 

[Smiley90]

So apparently Vancouver has a massive public event for Canada day for the legalization of Cannabis... In a public space in the middle of the city, with people openly selling weed, joints, brownies, etc. and loads of smoke. Yeaaaah.

 

[Wingfan19]

I can't believe I never started that "WTF Holland?!?" blog 5 years ago like I said I was going to do. It would've been glorious!

You were gonna start it right before the season they ran over the rest of the NHL and cruised their way to a Cup? LOL.

Ok, more like 7 years ago now, it was right after the lockout.

Come on. That deal looks great compared to other FA deals recently.

Ugh. One of the worst things about this city. The weed culture.

 

[Marvie_3]

Not when they deal is 8 more years, 4 of those having an actual salary of at least $5M

Ugh. One of the worst things about this city. The weed culture.

Weed needs to be legalized so these morons who think they're such fucking outlaws for smoking weed finally shut up.

There was also 4/20, which isn't exactly the sorta thing that goes unnoticed.

I think it's fantastic for decriminalisation efforts, but doing it in Vancouver is like walking into a multi-level brothel and saying everybody in there should be having sex. Downside is the event itself is full of hippies and crackheads, which sucks.

 

[Acid08]

Weed culture does suck. Weed itself is the coolest though.

 

[Cactus]

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

Down Goes Brown ‏

At least you know where to find your mortal enemy......

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Hippies. I fucking can't stand hippies.

 

[pringles]

Still, those were some great years right after the lockout.. hell of a team we had. Holland's only been mediocre the last 2-3 years, but then it's also been hard to come by great deals. If he gets us Suter I'll be happy with his work. If he can do that and get us someone like Semin.. fuck yeah.

Come on. That deal looks great compared to other FA deals recently.

For real, Franzen can float like none other but 4M for him is not a bad deal when Leino is making like 4.5M. Besides, Franzen will never play out the full lenght of the deal.

 

[Acid08]

Hippies. I fucking can't stand hippies.

Peace and love

@Sean_Leahy

Petr Svoboda on interest in Jaromir Jagr today: "He got 21 offers; I’m not kidding." - http://bit.ly/O93o6c

Please don't let one of them be Detroit... Please don't let one of them be Detroit... Please don't let one of them be Detroit

 

[pringles]

Please don't let one of them be Detroit... Please don't let one of them be Detroit... Please don't let one of them be Detroit

We can't add another forward who's name isn't Parise, Semin, Ryan or Nash..

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Detroit Free Press @freepwings
#RedWings done with free agency for today - now sitting back to wait to hear from Ryan Suter & Zach Parise.

Well I guess if we don't get Parise we will hopefuly see Holland go for Semin, fingers crossed tomorrow will be a great or horrible day.

 

[Alucard]

I remember getting my hopes up for the Pens signing Hossa in 2008, and Jagr before the start of this season. Nothing about Parise's decision will surprise me tomorrow.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I think I was arrogant for assuming that a Suter deal with Detroit would've been done by now. Such an obvious fit.

 

[Merguson]

Ducks signed Sheldon Souray. 3 years at $11 million.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Please don't let one of them be Detroit... Please don't let one of them be Detroit... Please don't let one of them be Detroit

"Robert Lang putting in a call for the Wings..."

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I think I was arrogant for assuming that a Suter deal with Detroit would've been done by now. Such an obvious fit.

No there was speculation before today that he wouldn't decide until monday or tuesday.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Ducks signed Sheldon Souray. 3 years at $11 million.

gggggguuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And here I was thinking we dodged a bullet when I heard we were out for Jokinen...

 

[Merguson]

From Bob McKenzie:

Hearing Jason Garrison going to VAN. Awaiting confirmation.

 

[Plinko]

Well I guess if we don't get Parise we will hopefuly see Holland go for Semin, fingers crossed tomorrow will be a great or horrible day.

Yep--I bet Semin is waiting, too.
