I'm Defecting
That's it. I'm jumping ship. I am going to go sign up where ever it is I need to sign up to be a Red Wings fan. I know the Wild have only been around for eight years, and the Wings have been around for the better part of a century, but still, come on. How do you get Henrik Zetterberg to sign for 12 years at a cap hit of around $6 million per, while our GM can't get Super Groin to sign for upwards of $8 million per year?
Now, before everyone jumps up and down on me asking if I would have wanted Gaborik to be offered a 12 year deal. No, I would not have even wished that on the Canucks. The point is, however, that we have a GM who seems to trip over his own shoe laces when signing free agents, and then the Wings go out and sign Henrik freakin' Zetterberg for a $6 million a year cap hit.
Any Wings fans that may be reading this:
Can you send me whatever forms and paperwork are necessary to be a fan. I'm in.

Salcer
I’m guessing that Gaborik would like to punch Ron Salcer in the face for advising him to turn down the offer that Risebrough gave him this past fall, huh?
Hell
I would’ve fired him in September! Salcer’s trying to be Scott Boras, but he isn’t nearly good enough, and the NHL economy is going into the crapper in a hurry. Look at the escrow deal. Salcer should be trying to get a $5M one-year deal for Gaborik with the Wild right now.
Being good pays off. Guys just want to stay in Detroit and are signing deals like that to stay there.
And if you think that’s a good deal, look at the contract Zetterberg’s been playing on the past few years. Wow.
Yeah
It’s killing me. I can’t go to NHLnumbers.com anymore. That site makes me sad. You look at the cap space and contracts the Wild have compared to other teams like Detroit and Pittsburgh and Montreal and it’s nauseating.
Just once
Just one time I want the Wild to land a deal like this. I know the deal he has been playing on is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Just one time, one guy, that fans could get excited about…
The only way to avoid failure, is to learn from it.
