I would absolutely love Vanek back but he'll probably get a multi year payday not the one Detroit can afford
Man, this is some petty stuff to be laughing about. What will you say when they tell you that they don't even think about the Red Wings anymore?
I mean... that would be petty as hell, but so is stuff like "I hope this team goes 0-82 so they'll fire Ken Holland."
I mean, we shouldn't be drawing lines in the sand on propriety with the way the arguments have gone around here recently.
Maybe Illitch came to him and said "Make playoffs at all costs or we are going to part ways." I mean it is possible, right? There has to be a method for this madness.

What I don't get is why anyone cares what any other fanbase thinks.

When people here discuss hockey, they do not know or they forget that this is a business and you have to make money.
In the real world you have to balance between hockey and business, in the play station world its only hockey.

Shattenkirk and/or smith.
Smith would be one of our best defenseman with the right coaches. There's a reason why the rangers love him.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I love it. People can't wait for Brendan Smith to be gone and now "Oh, he'd totally be one of our best. Never mind the fact that two different coaching staffs both didn't use him and he would routinely kick games in the regular season, he'd totally be one of our best.
Only way that you'd make Brendan Smith a great defenseman would be to treat every single game in the regular season like it was the playoffs. He turns it on when the pressure is on. However, that would literally burn out every other member of your roster... and would burn out Smith to where he'd be useless after a while.
People said that? Or one poster?

This has to be what's happening right ??

Seeing how everyone seems to be being bought out/not qualified I would like to take a shot at a cheap 1 year forward option. Hayes is available now. 6'5 right shot. Was pathetic last year but could bounce back. Grigorenko was not qualified and has some playmaking ability.
Who do they replace? Our roster is pretty full as is.
We have 11 forwards right now correct? The team will carry 13/14 forwards. It's not like these guys would be penciled into the everyday lineup. They would be competition for the likes of Svechnikov and Bertuzzi to make the roster. Personally I'd leave Bert in the AHL to start the year. Svechnikov also shouldn't be a lock. There are several forward spots available and it makes sense to fill 1 with a cheap ufa signing
