Its summer guys and hockey isn't on a lot of peoples minds. For me the off seasons are not exciting and we haven't really any significant moves in what the last 7-8 years so little to talk about until training camp. LV has some players to make a decent team www.tsn.ca/nhl/article/how-mcphee-held-gms-hostage-to-acquire-assets-1.785884I liked Nosek, had some potential but not a big loss. On to the entry draft to see who we grab and if we make any trades but again not too exciting for us but at least we have a slightly higher pick since we sucked so bad last season hahaha |

I think we went from genuine excitement of free agency to "I just hope KH will not screw up even more and sign another veteran to a 7 year deal".
Salary cap increased to $75 mil which normally would be good news, but not anymore. The less money KH has, the better.

I find myself checking boards but not commenting nearly as often, Pierre! The past season was more discouraging than any season in a long long time. My faith in KH has virtually disappeared. His failure to act and fire Blashill, plus the overly generous term and dollar amount he gave to his favourites, compounded the futility of a dysfunctional roster and contributed to many of the team's losses this past year.
I don't expect much from the draft by way of immediate help and he will let poorly-performing vets continue to hamper the growth of the prospects. I don't expect the prospect to make the Wings contenders, or even playoff bound, but at least we might see a lot of enthusiasm.
I hope to see the game on October 20 but will be going mainly to see the new arena....not because I expect much from the team next season.

I'd probably be up for the Friday game and the trip to the farm. A Sunday night game before the work week doesn't work real well for me.

Pissed away too much money in those stupid landscape companies. Lucky I survived to ever even have a chance to retire. |

I missed more games this year than the past two decades combined. I just couldn't handle watching the trainwreck. Does that make me bandwagon....probably a little bit, but most of the games either bored me or made me too angry to sleep at night. Combine that with hyperboards getting blocked at work and coaching yet another sport the past two years and I really fell behind on my Wings news and thus any kind of mild contributions I ever did make to the board. This will be the first season in a long time that I will have equal amounts of trepidation and excitement for the first puck drop. |
