Red Wings

Yeah, and Edmonton had the last 3 first overall picks...which they promptly all used on forwards.

At least they are one of the few teams to ever be able to ice a first forward line of three first overall picks in a row (Hall - Nugent-Hopkins - Yakupov). I have a feeling they will be a lottery team next year as well.

Hmmmmmm.

Lottery team?

When does the current CBA expire?

[FVD]

I don't think that not getting Parise and Suter says anything negative about the Red Wings and Holland. Those two wanted to play together, let them. I trust in Holland's judgment enough to feel he will get this team back to prominence.

[lions&tigers&wings...yea]

Hmmmmmm.

I believe the current CBA is expired right now. They haven't begun negotiations yet, but those sides seem confident there won't be a lockout despite the fact the owners want more of the profit sharing going to them and the players want more coming to them.

Current CBA expires 9/15

Missed it. Sorry Tony. Was surprised it hadn't been posted. My bad.

[Tony G]

nah, bears repeating.

Yeah that was an awesome message. Nick just signed on to be a player scout in Sweden for us...some writer who broke the news was like: "Every report out of Detroit on Swedish forwards will be: Lacks creativity, easy to shut down." hahah

[DanO]

That's going to pay dividends.

I hope we can grab Doan and maybe Semin to 2 year deals. Not sure where to go for D. Theres not much out there.

[nhwbrooklyn]

Doan would be awesome to get. That guy is a warrior.

I think Doan is either staying in PHX or heading to Vancouver.. We should prob sign Semin and get it over with. If we can get him to a short term deal we'll be ok.

Our D is more than likely set with

Kronwall Smith
White Quincey
Ericsson Kindl

If we dont have a strong D we better do what we can to stack the front side. Maybe Lids will change his mind and come back!
