I'm not "jumping to conclusions" about whether or not there will be amnesty rules. The CBA is up, the NHL wants the cap down, and the players don't. Last time around, the players took a serious haircut; it's possible that something along the same lines happens. Do I promise it? Of course not.
Speaking of "jumping to conclusions," did you really just say that we offered Semin $7M a year but he went to Carolina for the same term instead?
Ooops, my bad. Didn't realize I was taking RockyWeakSauce seriously. Ignore it is. Ta!

No I said "offer 7 mil" as in he was offered 7 mil and went to Carolina. The landscape has totally changed now. People act like Ken Holland is going to get a call while pumping gas that _____ wants to play for the Wings. It's not like it was 4-5 years ago.

Some of you turds really wanted Semin? It seemed alluring at first but with time to think it over, I was hoping he'd stay away.
It's stupid to write off the wings. Our offense has improved overall and while we won't be shutting everybody out, i really doubt the D is going to be as much of a tire fire as some believe.

I can roll with the D as is, but what happens when, inevitably, a D-man misses extended time due to injury or even worse the 70-80% likelihood that at some point we'll be missing at least 2. Who are the next names up? I honestly have no clue, but odds are they're not NHL caliber. That's why I think it sucks so bad. At this point I want him to acquire somebody, anybody, who can play D in the NHL to add some depth.
I disagree that we've gotten any better outside of Gustavsson. We added two 3/4 line forwards (of which we have about 10) and on D we lost 2 bodies and added 0. I'm not writing off the wings, I don't think the playoff streak ends, but we're not Stanley cup caliber and I haven't seen anything to suggest we have the type of goalie then can carry a middle of the road team to a cup. We'll most likely be fighting for a bottom half playoff spot and go out in the first or second round, which isn't terrible, but I would have thought most wings fans would hold this team to a higher standard.

Omg 4 years without a cup!! Better start blowing money a wrecklessly as possible to appease mike Valenti and the other amateurs that can't see two feet in front of their face.
No he doesn't spend "recklessly" he just gives up a 1st round pick for Kyle Quincey.

i wanted nothing to do with semin. if doan is asking for too much, i want nothing to do with him either. i dont need holland blowing his load of money on locker room cancers and overpriced 35 year olds just cuz he has the money in his wallet. KH is going to make sound decisions to keep the team competitive every year. its still a playoff team, and there is still an opportunity to do something this upcoming season at the trade deadline if wings are in position to make a deeper run than expected.

Is there an award for the team with the most cap space?
Semin should have been signed. Extra capspace is for Nashville. 7 million? what are the Wings going to do with that 7 million in space. Absolutely nothing.
7 million for Semin.

I'm kind of annoyed with this offseason but not completely. You can't just throw money at anyone just because u think you have to make a move. Next years UFA list is much stronger than this years. Also, with the way the cap is looking, many teams may have to part ways with their talent starting next spring. This season may end the playoff streak but I think the wings are in prime position for the following year and years after.

That's what I was referencing when I said we didn't have the type of goalie (i.e. Quick) that could carry us to a cup. Basically I'm just saying we're no better today, probably worse, then the team that has failed to get by the second round the last 3 years.

Okay, Shane.
