    Only after DeKeyser is resigned should he be resigned.

    Look at that in Detroit! I real GM does something to improve his team!! Wonder if Dave D can run two teams?

    What bad UFA year! Nashville did better than Detroit!

    Not trying to get into pissing contest with you but! Detroit Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman will take on additional duties as director of player personnel, team owner Mike Ilitch said Friday. "This is a departure from the traditional title of general manager," Ilitch said. "Scotty's focus will be specifically on the NHL level, such as all trades and signings involving the Red Wings." Ilitch this week had promoted Ken Holland to assistant general manager. Holland will oversee pro and amateur scouting and the annual entry draft.

    Correct me I'm wrong but prior to the 2002-2003 season didn't Bowman have control of player personnel?

    Both Zetterberg and Datsyuk were Bowman guys! Holland gets ZERO credit for them. But he did resign Cleary, Franzen (at the expense of Hossa), Huskins, Quincey, Weiss, Modano, Tootoo, Legwand and the list goes on. Simply put he can't attract top notch talent.

    Here it is! "Had the odd call, but for the most part it's slowed down," Holland said. "It goes slow now for July and August. In past years once (top) free agents are off the market and money is spent things get slow." "I explored trades through June, couldn't find a fit," Holland said. "Now I sense a quiet three, four, five weeks. In the meantime I'll reach out to some of those (GMs)" I'm so tired of his "couldn't find a fit"!

    2008 were for the most part all Bowman leftovers. Remembering of course Bowman still the man until he left for Chicago. Holland gets very little praise for 2008.

    Unless he pulls off a blockbuster deal this off season has been a bust. IMO it started in 09 when he picked Franzen over Hossa! And it's gone down hill since as has the success of the team.
  11. Old School Hockey
    Not forgetting Lilja and Lebda!

    Now let's talk about Holland! His big splash is Quincey and Cleary.

    I know it is a tough situation to be in! But unless the cap grows more than any of us think it will, you just can't have 30% of your cap go to two players. So the two superstar players will be playing with a lot of young guys. And young guys want raises too. It's a tough situation.
  14. Old School Hockey
    Well Chicago welcome back to cap hell.

    I'm with you 1000%. IMO Holland lost it all when Suter went to Minn. He knew Stuart was leaving. He should have blown and I mean blown Suter out of the water with his offer. Give him no reason to look elsewhere. I'm talking Weber money. But no he put out an equal offer (give or take) and depended allure of Detroit to push Suter to Detroit. Funny part we'd probably have Parise too instead of Weiss. Holland needs to get over the fact that Detroit does NOT have the allure it did before.

    I think we (Wings fans and the NHL) have to come to grips with the fact that Lidstrom is retired and there isn't a defenseman in the NHL anywhere close to him. And may never will be again.
  17. Old School Hockey
    I think Petry has a big upside. How many times did we see Stuart score on our goalie? Lol Del Zotto? Don't know enough about him? He not a big player. What about (can't believe I'm saying this because loath him) Green?
  18. Old School Hockey
    What about Jeff Petry? Local boy that's an RFA. Any thoughts?
  19. Old School Hockey
    I have read several articles about a Myers trade. It seems the steaks are too high. I’m hear Buffalo want one of the following: Nyqusit, Jurco or Tatar. After the Legwand trade I’m not so sure I’d like to see another good young leave. Now if they want Quincey and a pick I’m for it.
  20. Old School Hockey
    Would you (not being a dick) mind providing a link?
  21. Old School Hockey
    Until the medical issues are made public it's 100% hearsay for us to debate!
  22. Old School Hockey
    The point is workers are compensated based on their worth. And Moore is not Yzerman. I feel Moore should be compensated. But not in the Yzerman, Jagr, Fedorov level.
  23. Old School Hockey
    Tough question goes unanswered. Do we realize what Moore is asking for is more than Yzerman made?
  24. Old School Hockey
    Any YOU have proof of said brain damage? Come on man his attorney's are trumping everything up. Here's a very simple question? If he's so bad off why did his legal team forbid Moore from entertaining the contract offer he was offered and let the physical tell the story?
  25. Old School Hockey
    Ok. Would a $15/hour employee get compensated the same a CEO for the same attack? And that's really not that far off when comparing Moore to an NHL player.
