Bet he plays tonight.

And aren't scooters the liberal community fantasy for getting around downtown areas?

Question: For how many teams has tanking worked? I don't have the bandwidth to go do the research at the moment, so I'm asking if anyone knows off the top of their head. My perception is that tanking doesn't work very well. There is the whole lottery thing, so even if you tank sufficiently, you can ...

.....and Kasper is a stud center and Mazur develops into a monster scoring winger and the pick Wings get for Larkin is a transformational player. Or....Kasper develops into an energy forward on the third line, Mazur busts like Zadina and the Larkin pick turns out to be another Ras. Y isn't gonna ro...

It is somewhat interesting without the top 5 protection, because Boston could fall way way down by then, but this deal leaves a gaping hole at C in our org with nothing but hopes and prayers for filling it. ...which is apparently the preferred approach, Hopes and Prayers over A Bird In The Hand. Yo...

I am not at all convinced that Larkin is going to bolt anywhere. And I think it's possible that he gives a hometown discount. You guys are getting your panties all twisted in knots over something that may not happen. And as far as franchise players go, I agree that Larkin really isn't that franchise...

Pop, the salary structure you are decrying is just how it is in professional sports. You get paid for two things--past performance, and/or future expectations. If the Wings trade away Larkin, good luck signing any free agents that are anywhere close to his quality. And I should point out that any fr...

You guys kill me. There should be only one criteria for siging Larkin--is the team better with him, or without him? The answer is better with him, by the way, in case anyone was unsure. And who cares how much he gets paid? It isn't your money. And the cap will go up. It's been pointed out already he...

According to Khan: The sides have agreed on the maximum eight-year term. They remain apart on the average annual value. The Red Wings would like him at $8 million per season. Larkin’s camp is eying closer to $9 million. It’s a fine line for the Red Wings. As important as Larkin has been and will co...
