[Singing] Red Wings sign Brad Richards


Recommended Posts

Weiss replacement and hopefully becomes the 2nd line C. Still can't believe they let Filppula go and signed Weiss to that horrible contract. Should've just paid him to begin with.

no one has knewn that weiss would suck this way and well ...injuries also threw him back ..last season it seemed that he will move up again ..but it was just for a few weeks

Big trade between Detroit and St.Louis upcoming, Oshie and Shattenkirk for Nyquist + prospects and Detroit 1st in 2016.

Would give the Blues cap space to get Tarasenko signed to a rich lengthy contract.

Damn that would be huge for the Red Wings

Detroit going all in? Looks like they are hoping there aged group, along with the signings of today can give them a shot at one more cup before sinking to a bottom feeder.

Bottom feeder? Detroit Red Wings? With all due respect, you are nuts. They are reloading and re-tooling on the fly and should see no drop in skill, talent, or league standing.

Only team in the league in Red Wings who can actually retool on the fly while still being competitive.

Last time I checked Canucks don't have the Red Wings great scouts and management so why do they think they can retool on the fly and still push for the playoffs while getting younger?

Arguably the only team that can retool on the fly in the whole league is the Red Wings who never miss the playoffs but still have good prospects and young players from their picks.

Abdelkader, Tatar, Jurco, Nyqvist, Sheahan, Dekeyser, Smith, Mantha, Tyler Bertuzzi, Mantha, Larkin, Oullet, Sproul, Pulkkinen, Nosek, Svechnikov. Yeah, how on Earth will they be able to continue to compete after 2016?

Heard those Mantha twins are phenomenal ;).

Sorry for the bump (didn't think it deserved it's own thread, that's why putting this in here), here are some interesting comments made by Brad Richards.

 

Richards admits that it was probably a mistake signing with the Red Wings.

 

"It didn’t seem like we ever got firing on all cylinders, just probably wasn't a great fit for me," Richards told The Guardian's Jason Malloy.

 

"I want to look at free agency and see who calls and what opportunities are there, but I haven’t made my mind up with what I want to do yet."
