I see Brunner being resigned for 3 years $9.0 million or a $3.0 million cap hit that sounds like a fair deal he way more then doubles his salary. Get it done Ken Holland.
Speculation: What do you want to see this off-season?

Bert and Sammy bought out, Cleary walks, Quincey demoted to 7th D and guys like DeKeyser, Smith and Kindl get more ice team and more responsibility. Let Flip go wherever, acquire top 6 forward (prefer big power forward like Horton or Clarkson). Tatar obviously will get a roster spot like he should, probably on the 3rd line and if he plays well then he could maybe see time on the 2nd line and first PP unit. Call ups should be Sheahan, Ferraro, Glendening, Almqvist and Mrazek. Abby put in the bottom 6 where he belongs, Nyquist on the 1st line with Dats and whoever else. Brunner resigned. That's about it.

I'd pass on him at this stage in his career- the dude is money in the playoffs but has been trending down as a regular season point producer. Given the last-second push necessary for Detroit to sneak into the PO's this year, I think Kenny needs to focus on acquiring guys who can be effective during the season to help the Wings make the playoffs.

I think Buffalo will overpay for him, to get him re-united with their another overpayment Leino. Together they would be effective again, not so overpayed.

The way he is, would he really be an upgrade at wing over Filppula? If not then don't even go after him. He's going to come with a heavier price tag than we want plus has injury history.
Briere would be blocking space made for Nyquist in the top 6. I'd rather have Gus in the top 6 next season.

Agree, I think it's more about what he would cost, though. Dude has overpayment written all over him.

Briere is kind of player Holland will definitely have interest. Short-term deal, then fit to open spot for Jurco/Frk after few years.
That 50+59=109 playoff points in 108 games if freaking impressive.

No doubt it's impressive but you need massive insurance for the regular season when he gets hurt.
It's worth noting that he would also be a 35+ contract. It would HAVE to be short term. We are already complaining about those on the 35+ deals right now (Sammy and Burt). Not saying that Briere doesn't have skills, I'm worried about that injury history.
He's a useful player when healthy and he's a very good playoff option. I would not mind having Briere or Nyquist on the 3rd line as the scoring winger, that would be great.

Detroit vs. Everybody
I would rather have Filppula over Briere.
I'm just waiting to see if NYR buys out Richards. A risk, but could payout.

There's now rumours in Twitter, that Datsyuk could sign an contract extension tomorrow.

Sure hope so 4 years for the same money he's currently making now $6.7 mill.
Don't think he can sign till July 1st. Officially that is. I supposed he could announce they have an agreement. But won't be official until July.

Just like Drew Miller. No difference. Done deal is a done deal. No matter what day the contract will start.
This possible extension is a thing that I never believed to happen. Because I really thought this daughter-case would matter more. I'm still sceptical. But if it happens, I will the happiest fan in this Universe on that moment.

Yeah it's just like Malkin they can have an agreement in place, But yeah he cant sign the deal until July 5th free agency.

He still gets in done in the playoffs, but he's old and injury prone and his past couple regular seasons have sucked. I'd pass.

I wouldn't mind Briere, but like with every player it would depend on what kind of contract it would take too sign him and I have no clue what he would be expecting.
Run the Jewels
Make Detroit Great Again
In my opinion it is pretty straight-forward: continue the youth movement and keep your draft picks. I've always been willing to give up a draft pick to attain the rights to a guy like Ryan Suter, but it's obvious since the advent of the salary cap that Ken Holland will never be active on the UFA or trade market. We'll get lucky every once in a while and get a guy like Brian Rafalski through free agency but for the most part we will do nothing.
So bring up our young guys and let them play against the best talent in the world under the best coach in the NHL. I'd like to see something like:
Z-Pavs-Abby
Mule-Sheahan-Jurco
Nyquist-Andersson-Tatar
Miller-Emmerton-Eaves
My guess is Cleary and Filppula get better offers elsewhere. If we can get a legit 4th line center to compete for Emmerton's spot - this is Ken Holland we're talking about - then I'm cool with that.
Mike Babcock proved himself this season after Ken Holland fanned on every good UFA yet again. Ken needs to give Babs whatever he asks for. That's the only way this dog known as the Detroit Red Wings Orga-NI-zation will hunt.
Just my opinion.

Jurco and Sheahan over Nyqusit in the top 6 is a joke.
