Abdelkader - McDavid - Kassian

 

[GreytWun]

Love it. Let the SY show begin.

 

[wingsfan17]

I would like to personally congratulate everyone on this forum for scoring as many goals as Abdelkader last year, and for $4M less and in in 49 less games too!

 

[mapleleafs34]

If Babcock was still here I would guarantee he signs here. Thank god he's not

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Would assume this means that Yzerman is looking at make another major splash trade wise, And wants to shed some salary.

 

[njx9]

Huh, expected we'd just ride this one out. Cool.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

And we Red Wing fans are rejoicing.

Poor Applegator.

Hope he finds his game elsewhere.

What? You mean like on Xbox?

Dudes done like dinner.

What? You mean like on Xbox?

Dudes done like dinner.

Elsewhere could certainly mean Europe, in this case.

Plenty of castaways making a living overseas, these days.

 

[Retire91]

So fricken stupid the wings had no reason to rush the end of the contract. Now Abby is on the books until 2026

 

[Peter Tosh]

I always remember this play as his best on ice moment ever!

With an A on his chest...

It's ok, we don't need to see it anymore!

You know you’ve finally moved on from Holland when Abdelkader, Howard and Ericsson are no longer taking a roster spot. Unfortunately, Abdelkader’s name will still pop up over the next 6 years. I believe they’re still paying Weiss too.

Everyone on the planet who follows the NHL knew this one would ultimately be a buyout the day it was signed and here we find ourselves.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Just a hunch but I would not be surprised if Turris and MAF are red wings by the end of the day

Turris + 11th for 32nd

MAF and Krebs for 45th OA and Cholowski

Sorry the Turris one is terrible. Way overpaid, under performing, we aren't giving them anything close to 32 for cap dump garbage and the Preds aren't giving up 11 to get rid of him.

With an A on his chest...

I just pretend they didn't have room for his full name on the back and slapped the "A" on the front.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Quick, someone distract Holland!

Though I could see him getting a camp invite.

Yeah I think Oilers fans should be a little nervous right now given Holland's addiction to retreads.

 

[Mr Positive]

If he played center I'd think Holland would try him out on the Oilers

 

[Alex Jones]

And people say Edmonton can't attract big time free agents.

 

[Mick Jagr]

Just a hunch but I would not be surprised if Turris and MAF are red wings by the end of the day

Turris + 11th for 32nd

MAF and Krebs for 45th OA and Cholowski

MAF controls his destination. I think he'd rather back up Lehner than start for Detroit at this stage of his career.

Abdelkader - McDavid - Kassian

shades of that old Datsyuk line with Cleary and Bertuzzi right there

 

[jetsforever]

That contract aged well.
