McCollum, sheahan, kindl, trading out of the first to take jurco, Brendan smith. How about legwand for jarnkrok? Erik cole for janmark? Stephen Weiss? Franzen over Hossa? Ericsson? Dekeyser? Abdelkader? Nielsen? Helm? Yeah since they weren’t literally the only team scouting Europe, he hasn’t done shit in the draft. Hey were the only team to see datsyuk play. Nowadays everyone would have seen him and he would have gone in the first two rounds. Z would have been a first rounder. He also can’t do anything with limited money. Watch him take tkachuk with their pick, the one guy they absolutely can’t take at all in the first round.

Kenny, feel free to answer any of the following..
last decent FA signing? Last decent contract extension? Last draft with 2 NHL caliber draft picks? How about the next year the wings will not be salary cap hog tied? My season tix are done. They will be easy enough to get and cheaper 2 years from now.

NHL has been lame for over a decade.

Lot of fanny pack players now. Not even a sport - nobody cares.

No Probert to bail out the Dead Wings now.

The "stars" now are a lot of little boy figure skaters.

You’re joking, or Trolling... hockey is more of a “sport” than anything. The players of that “sport”/activity sacrifice their lives/bodies to win the sport’s trophy.

If anything, the league has finally started to get stronger... when the Hawks of Chicago we’re winning the cup a few mere years ago, I may have agreed that the sport was “softening”, however, now the development of the league has finally strengthened itself. The only sport where you have true “Role players” that go out there not only to fight or “enforce”, however, HAVE to be reliable and accountable for their decisions. Tune into the playoffs on Wednesday and take a little looksie for yourself.

I quit on the wings. Life long fan. But enough is enough. I refuse to Holland. He made this mess. He doesn’t have the skills to be effective in the cap era.

People keep talking about maybe Ken Holland can do this rebuild right or perhaps give him a chance to try. But Holland doesnt think we need to nor does he intend to rebuild. We have another 2 years of head scratching contract extensions and overpaying veteran free agents before we can hope and pray the Wings decide to start rebuilding.
