txpd said:You are not serious are you? of course you are a detroit fan and want to keep your spending advantage. you dont mind that only 6 or 8 NHL teams can afford an NHL brand name player at ufa eligibility. you don't mind that 6 or 8 teams can afford to dress a lineup entirely made up of established/household name players while half the league is lucky to have as many as 1 brand name player.
you dont care that its bad for the nhl as a whole when the Stanley Cup finals are Jerome Iginla and 19 no names vs Vinny Lecavalier, Martin St Louis and 18 no names because those complaining are all saying they miss Detroit. Of course the reason that Calgary and Tampa have no name rosters is that because the NHL is Detroit, Colorado and 4 or 5 other teams full of established players and then the rest of the league that no one cares about. no cares about them because in that system only last year did a team outside the top 10 in spending win the cup. the teams that win are the big money teams and there is no reason to create brand name players in markets like Calgary or Tampa or Edmonton or Pheonix. You dont care that life is tough for 20 NHL teams because you are a Wings fan. You either dont care that its tough or only care about the rest of the league so far as the Wings needs someone to beat.
thanks for the insight. :lol
