Sometimes she goes, and sometimes she doesn't. But since Stevie came home the way of the road has been much better!
-
$1.7 per year for two years for Troy Stecher is a great deal. Stevie is really doing a nice job in FA.
-
I love that he's a RH shot, he'll get a ton of ice for Frolunda this year and probably be ready to roll next fall. Hope some of the rumblings about Stevie using the draft capital to jump into the late 1st are true because I'm hungry for some more prospects to talk about tonight haha.

Corey Pronman says it's Lucas Raymond. I was hoping for Perfetti or Drysdale, but this guy is lighting up the SHL right now and we do have a history with Swedes after all.
-
What's on the go bys, can't believe the forum is still humming along. I'm still on a high after the Abby buyout news, so I'm down with pretty much anybody we take here.

10/05 GDT | at Red Wings 4, Minnesota Wild 2 (1st Game @ LCA)

Real happy for Marty Frk, worked his way up, earned a spot in the lineup and buries in his first game. Love it. All of the young guys looked good and Howard was great. Nice way to open the season. -
2007 was a great year on the forums. The Brad Norton experiment, the rise of Pain Train, the beginnings of Hasek vs Osgood wars, and then getting the cup in 08 after losing to the Ducks in 07. Lots of highs and lows

Tatar, Athanasiou, and XO's new deals

All the arguing about Butcher can stop now, from Craig Custance: Red Wings haven't called on Will Butcher. Not considered serious contenders for the college UFA defenseman. -
He's the guy who injured Mantha in that fight towards the end of the season. I love fights, and tough players but we just signed Dylan McIlrath who would serve the exact same purpose if need be so I hope we don't sign Witkowski.
-
I voted yes because mediocrity is OK by the Wings standards these days as long as they have a shot at getting 8th seed. If we bottom out and finish top five again, then I could see a realistic possibility of Kenny moving upstairs and fresh blood being brought in.
-
Daley for 3.5/4 for 2 years isn't the worst deal ever. I certainly hope that's it and Holland leaves room for kids up front.
-
What's scary is Smitty probably would've gotten more on the open market. Gonna be interesting to see what Girardi, Daley, Hainsey and Kulikov haul in.
-
I couldn't believe those reports the Wings were in on all those dirt defenceman. Hopefully they all price themselves out of our price range. Vanek coming back short term, I could live with.
-
Nope, just checked. Not related to Doug. Still, a good looking player. Saw him on a list of the top 10 OHL prospects.
-
I like a lot of the picks today, all in all looking like a decent draft. No one outstanding, but some interesting prospects.
-
From his scouting profile: Models his style of play after Canadiens goaltender Carey Price. Well, if he can be half as good as Price he'll have an NHL future.
-
Keith Petruzelli is 6'5, 2nd ranked North American goalie. Good value there.
-
From Zablocki's scouting report: Compares his style of play to Bruins forward Brad Marchand. I like it.
-
So based on what I'm reading the reason he was ranked so slow was because of injuries. Apparently he's more of a top 50 talent, which is more reassuring.
-
Kasper Kotkansalo, 92nd by central scouting and we grab him at 71.
-
Interested to see what they paid for him.
-
I personally saw some of the guys we passed on for Rasmussen play, so I could be underwhelmed about that one with some facts. I know nothing about Lindstrom except where he's ranked so I'll hope for the best considering Andersson's history.
-
Bob McKenzie had him ranked #85. Hopefully he's another Hakan gem.
-
That would be pretty great value in a 2nd rounder. We'll find out early tomorrow, there's lots of good talent on the board for our 2nd.
-
Yup, gets underway at 10:00am.
