OT: NHL Free Agency Thread
Edit: Thanks for the TSN link
Looks like the Wings may miss out on Okposo... so what's the plan now?
Don't trust those rumors agents are misleading to help drive up prices. Its all a giant chess game. Wings have lots of money but they have needs.

They haven't really signed a Tier 1 FA in a long time. I want them to use their money wisely vs. over paying to Kyle Okposo. He's going to get 7.5 mil per year and he's not worth that. Neilson will prolly sign with the wings he's a great 2 way Center knock on him would be age and he's going command 5.5-6 mil a year hopefully they only sign him for 3 years.

In 2 years the salary cap could rise significantly and these deals might end up being a bargain. My biggest issue is the age. If Nielsen gets injured, it could be another Stephen Weiss debacle.

Yet another reason why there was no need to keep Helm around. At least use that money for someone like Martin, who led the league in hitting.

Either way it doesn't matter. Neither team is beating Tampa, Pittsburgh or Washington any time soon. I kinda wish the Wings were still in the Western Conference.
Former Michigan Goalie Al Montoya signed with Montreal!
