Am I crazy or is $4M too much for Mrazek? I mean, he put up decent numbers on a team with bad defense, but I just don't view him as a true #1. Again, I could be crazy lol

Yeah you have no idea what you are talking about. Mrazek is definitely worth $4m on a 2 year basis.

He was the top goalie in the NHL until his birthday came around...rumor had it he hung out with Johnny Football that night and the Bruins lit him up the next day. If he fixes his consistency issues then this will look like a bad deal for the Wings because in two years he will want $7+.

Who doesn’t have room for a $5M backup?

To be fair it is plausible that Detroit retains 50%. At which point 2.5M is pretty fair

You know what I really love? When someone posts a thought and says they may be wrong, showing they're open to the fact that they may not know, and some a$$hat has to say, "You have no idea what you're talking about." I mean, it really makes for good constructive discussion. Gotta love the warm and fuzzies.

I would expect nothing less though from a bitter bolts fan. Did you get any autographs on the golf course this year?

Fair.

3 years would still be too long for me.

If they trade for Howard even with retained salary and have three goalies, they really could have just traded for MAF from the start!

You guys realize this is Eklund reporting right?
Guy know nothing about hockey and has exactly zero insider information...doesn't even bother keeping up with basic hockey news, probably didn't even realize Calgary already got 2 goalies this off-season
Pretty sure he just saw a rumor that popped up way back at the draft when Calgary was kicking tires on everyone and thought it was current breaking news

stuff like this just hurts his own reputation if you consider he has any left that is...
- cpltanto

Isn't his reputation what you described...make stuff up and not know anything. So doesn't this blog actually "help" that reputation??

DET since they are over the cap.

If your going to make up a lie like Howard to Calgary, at least do your homework on the team. They got the two goalies they want that are better than Howard and cost less combined. Plus they still have rfas they need to sign with 15mil left. This article is a joke.

LTIR says hi.

Are you kidding with this Howard to Calgary talk Ek? If it actually happens I will buy a seasons pass. Do you even pay attention to what happens around the league?

Motion that Potvin sould be docked half his votes for his terrible broadcasting career.

You know what I really love? When someone responds to a stupid comment in a just way, showing exactly why the comment was incorrect. and then some a$$hat makes a comment about the fact that the team they cheer for won a championship... as though the commentor had ANYTHING to do with the victory. Gotta love the big dummies.

Motion denied. You may re-table this motion in six (6) months from the date of denial.

Iginla to Boston done.

I'm hearing it's not Schenn for JVR.

Eyes on Carolina.

You know what I love? when someone responds to someone responding to a stupid comment and pointing out why the commentator should not be referring to the championship their team won whereas no fan could possibly make that claim. This is a fan board, not a peer reviewed publication. Gotta love the big dummies

Wow Ek! You don't think the 2 they have now will be enough?

I think the point flew over your head.

He can probably be put in the same boat as Osgood, benefited from a great team.

Lidstrom is one of the greatest at his positions ever, therein lies the difference.
