Detroit Red Wings

A 1 year deal makes it nicer. It has the potential to really pay off without much to lose or risk involved.

 

Im not saying this will happen again but everyone thought Larry Murphy, Fetisov and Larionov were washed up and some of the best years they had were when we acquired them. I wasnt suprised with Legwand and didnt care for that move but I still think Mike Richards can be productive. we shall see

 

The Detroit Red Wings signed LW Eric Tangradi, 26, to a one-year contract. He has played in 143 NHL games with Pittsburgh, Winnipeg and Montreal.

 

wtf???

 

Cant wait to see what Cutter thinks... I know what you think, i think. Im still scratching my head.

 

What stands out to me is 15 points in 143 games... i might be able to top that... even at my current age and condition.

 

exactly. he makes andersson look like a prolific offensive threat. i have no idea what the point of this signing is.

 

Im not sure, but the kids name for GR is Porter and he moved on. An internet rumor is that its a signing to replace him and he will goon it up in GR... I dont get this shit at all. I would love a guy who can kick butt, but if he could play some hockey too, ide like it a lot more.

 

uhhhhh, I don't get it.

I just fell off my computer chair, Im still in shock. Holland now goes from a B+ to a A-, what the hell has gotten into him? Tangradi isnt the enforcer Id like but hes big and probably best known for getting Gillies worked into a frenzy.jes big and not afraid to mix it up, Im speechless. biggest center weve had since Primeau 20 years ago! best offseason Hollands had since Bowman left *THUMBSUP*

 

I remember Keith Primeau for two things: 1. Sucking in the '96 playoffs, and 2. Being part of the trade that landed us Brendan Shanahan.

As for the Tangradi deal... meh *TIRED* I doubt we even see him hit double digits in the "games played" column.

Those NTCs are kicks to the groin area.

Looks fair, nothing special about it outside of the NTCs imo. He gets his raise early, Detroit gets a couple of years in return.

 

I like it, glad they got him in the mix. I didnt want to lose him. does this mean Tatar may be on the block?

hes the best of the 'kids' we have here and has the most potential long term IMO. hes better than Tatar and Jurco, way ahead of Sheahan and co. hes minnie me which I hate but hes really fun to watch and as small as he is, hes not afraid of contact and going in the corners. in the pansy NHL we now have forces me to qualify that as toughness. the bar is so low anymore its not even funny

 

i don't think so. pretty sure their intent was to resign both of them, and this contract isn't unusual enough to make me think sauce boy is on the bubble now, unless he already was and they were pretending otherwise.

 

ok, this kinda sucks:

ansar is the wings lead guy on MLive. let's just say there's a pretty sharp dropoff after him

 

4 weeks? I'm a teacher and i don't get 4 weeks.

 

No doubt. Ansar Khan is one of the best sports journalists out there. The rest of that site rivals CBS.

 

Red Wings sign Mitch Callahan to a 1 year contract at $600 000 (2 way)

 

Sign Cleary Kenny. Do it!

 

Pavel Datsyuk says he'll be with the Detroit Red Wings when they begin the regular season Oct. 9.

But whether he's on the ice is a different story.

Datsyuk, recovering from a June 26 surgery to repair ruptured ankle tendons, indicated to SVT.se's Marie Lehmann today in Yekaterinburg, Russia, that he won't be ready for the start of the NHL season.

"They say 4-5 months," Datsyuk said of his recovery time. "We'll see how this goes. ... I'll be there, but they not start me. I hope I miss (only) a little bit, the beginning of the season."

Datsyuk's agent, Gary Greenstin, told the Free Press in June that Datsyuk would be ready for October, but the Red Wings aren't expecting Datsyuk back before November.

Despite that possibility, Datsyuk didn't seem worried, telling Lehmann that the rest of the Wings should step up in his absence.

Datsyuk is in Yekaterinburg, his hometown, for his hockey school.

The Wings, under first-year coach Jeff Blashill, begin the season Oct. 9 against former coach Mike Babcock and the Toronto Maple Leafs at Joe Louis Arena.
