Interesting. (But doubt he signs anywhere by Ottawa.)

he has already said he will only come back to ottawa, but i guess that can change if murray is an idiot and says yes come back but only on the 4th line and only for 1 million.

it is believed he is asking for a 1 year, 4-4.5 million contract.

1) DW inquires about almost all players like this, he's a tire kicker.

2) I'd be shocked if he plays anywhere else but Ottawa

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

No one from out East ever signs here.

 

[Squeeven]

Yeah...this just isn't going to happen. Don't see why of all places he'd sign here for what will likely be his last year only to have Sens fans pissed at him.

 

[Eighth Fret]

i don't think there has ever been an FA that DW hasn't inquired about

 

[Audio Outlaw]

He is far too old.

Alfredsson's decision: Ottawa, Boston or Detroit.

Not going to be us. DW is the king of tire kickers.

Yes and it is getting very very very very very old.

 

[Barrie22]

Yes and it is getting very very very very very old.

not really sooner or later there has to be that one free agent that tells wilson, this is what i want from detroit, but i'm willing to take less from you to play with so and so.

like the countless other players have done to the sharks aka nieds in anaheim.

As per @DarrenDreger, Wings deal has been agreed upon with Alfredsson, one year, $5.5 M (including $2 M in bonuses)

Red Wings announce Daniel Alfredsson's deal. One year at $5.5-million cap hit. Lot of bonuses to get to that number though.

The Wings just like ruining legacies. First Modano now Alfie.

I am the most surprised that Alfie would have done this, always figured him to retire a Sen.

Don't forget the wings signed #24 from the Hawks on D, what was his name, Chelios..

Detriot is where stars go to die?

 

[Negatively Positive]

Am I the only who thinks Ottawa is a better team than Detroit? Detroit was surprising in the playoffs but Ottawa had injuries to Anderson, Karlsson, Spezza, etc. and they still made the playoffs and Detroit and Ottawa both got knocked out in the 2nd round albeit Detroit did take the Cup Champs to 7.

And Ottawa went out and got Bobby Ryan and Clarke MacArthur. They're significantly better than Detroit on paper.

It's pretty tough to count out the Wings entirely, but I certainly don't look at them as the team to beat anymore.
