Re: Wings changes for 2007/2008 season
The NHL is one league where players have been known to take less money to play on a contender, or stay loyal with a franchise.

Paul Kariya did it when he signed with the Avalanche a few years back.

We're very lucky that Detroit is one of the top franchises that attracts free agents. Everyone knows we will be a playoff team, and the locker room doesn't have a lot of drama going on.

I love my Wings.

Harmony is so wonderful.
Now let's get back to Bertuzzi NOT breaking necks.

Bert is gone. Signed with Anaheim.

I'm ok with that.

Not if we meet in the playoffs again.
He seemed civil last playoffs. But if he goes psycho again...I hope it gets ugly on his face.

That's what I love about Hasek. He's trying to make sure that while he's not left out the team can go and get more help. Remember, a few years back when he got injured he refused to take money from the Wings for the remainder of his contract since he couldn't play.

I love my Wings.
With the firesale in Nashville we have no opponent in our division and should take 1st which will guarantee at least the 3rd seed for the playoffs.

"I love my Wings."

Barbie or Honey Must.

"a few years back when he got injured he refused to take money from the Wings for the remainder of his contract since he couldn't play."
That didn't go forgotten. Huge key move.

I have to admit I haven't seen this coming:
Wings sign Dallas Drake - Red Wings Snapshots - MLive.com

Quote:
As per a release from the Wings this morning, the team has agreed to contract terms with forward Dallas Drake on a one-year contract. Additional terms of the deal are not available.
"We're very pleased to have Dallas join the Red Wings," said Holland. "He's a very physical player who will add grit to our lineup and make our team even more difficult to play against. He's a veteran player and you can never have enough experience and leadership on a team."
In 14 NHL seasons, Drake has appeared in 944 NHL games, tallying 174 goals, 297 assists for 471 points and 844 penalty minutes
