The drunk dude posted a picture of himself saying he just got a small black eye. Never mind that Tarnasky was obviously taking it easy on him and it is probably his hip/side that is messed up from being tossed fifteen feet like a child.

Such a hilarious video, I can't pick my favorite part between the guy crawling out of the pond like some swamp creature or when Tarnasky tossed him at the end.

I thought the rumor was he wanted to choose where he would go so I figured he would go to free agency, but I can see the allure to Edmonton I guess. If you get a chance to play with Trent Frederic you have to take it

I'm a bit shocked that Howard signed a deal there

I'm not a NCAA guy anymore but I would rather the players get rich than the administrators and conferences

I've never seen that twitter account with the Karlsson rumor, is it popping up anywhere else? Feels like a guess but who knows

Was just coming to post the same info from that podcast: Friedman says Detroit wanted to make a pitch to Ehlers but were told no. He says Detroit is “a hard sell” because it’s been too long without playoffs. I wouldn't think this would be a shock to people but well...

Nope I'm a moron he's going to Carolina

Wonder if Ehlers is about to sign in Utah, they randomly cancelled their intro press conference for Peterka today

I guess they think he can help the PK? His underlying numbers say he was probably the best/among the best of the pk-ers in Winnipeg's 13th ranked PK. Truth be told I thought he looked bad last playoffs so that's stuck in my head. Seems he's thought of as a solid third-fourth line guy around the league but I dunno.

Elmer signs for two years @ 1.125 per

For Holl, I think you might as well bury him in the minors to get him completely off the books after the upcoming season instead of stretching the cap hit to two seasons with a buyout. The ~$2 million in savings on the cap this season for a buyout doesn't move the needle too much for me personally but I get why people just want him gone.

Damn, that is sad about Beasley

Yes!! I'm glad you're enjoying it hb, I really miss it, I thought their first season was fantastic. They better make more!

Wait....this can't be true

I personally wanted Wallinder to step up in his bigger role in Grand Rapids last season, but he never really seemed to. He's a tall, toolsy guy that we're still waiting on to put it all together. He also seems kinda soft. I thought what little I saw of Buium live last season, he seemed pretty solid as a second pairing guy for GR, but did seem to make some mistakes in his own zone/neutral zone. Buium is probably the "closest" to the NHL of the three GR defense from last season in my mind, but Wallinder has a higher ceiling if everything clicks. It's a shame Anton Johansson went back to play for his dad's team in Sweden because he seemed to do pretty well in his short Griffins stint last season.

I fear that if Tuomisto is seeing any time with the Wings something will have gone terribly wrong, I just don't think he has the footspeed/skating for the NHL but I also don't know what I'm talking about. It would be cool if he could turn into something because adding another useful tall dude would be a plus.

Pricey unless Miller bounces back in a big way but I could definitely see that happening

My wife is getting mad at the Ken Holland memes I'm sending her, I am more than fine with what the Wings have done so far lol. I wonder if someone is going to drastically overpay Ehlers at this point

John Leonard gets a 1 year deal for some Grand Rapids scoring, scored 36 goals in the AHL last season

Ken Holland is so bad at this, that Ceci deal is insane

Jeff Petry to Florida is pretty funny to me

Interesting, didn't he use a NTC to not come to Detroit in the past? 1 year $1 million with incentives, not much money at all
