July 1, 200916 yr The Khabibulin deal is likely front-loaded so it's not a bad deal. I'm not comfortable going into a season with Huet as the starter. Gross.
July 1, 200916 yr For all of the good things Dale has done... Huet is the albatross around this team's neck that will keep us from winning it all.
July 1, 200916 yr Huet, like most goaltenders, was the s*** last year when given consistent playing time. He didn't sign here to split time and he certainly didn't sign to be a backup. I expect him to be quite good in the coming season.

Our defense is good and continues to make strides, but we need another stride next year. Also, these Wings fans need to stop saying Hossa isn't clutch. He was 2nd in the 2008 playoffs in points, 5th last year among Red Wings in points in the playoffs, and 4th among Red Wings in goals in the playoffs. Edited July 1, 200916 yr by whitesoxbrian
July 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) I will miss The Bulin Wall. Yes, after being a huge disappointment for THREE years, he waited until we were backed into the corner and signed another goaltender before looking like the Khabibulin of old. There were more bad times than good with Khabibulin, and his being gone isn't that huge a deal. Huet needs to step it up. Edited July 1, 200916 yr by Steve9347
July 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) I will miss The Bulin Wall. Khabby had a good season last year, but overall he did not do the job that he was brought here to do. He wasn't a workhorse and he didn't play consistently well (albeit on bad teams) for the better part of his 4 years.

Huet has the skills, and I think he can really flourish if given regular playing time. That save he made against Franzen in the Detroit series was just silly.
July 1, 200916 yr Tallon talking about Hossa/Kopecky on CSN right now. Seems like Havlat is a goner. Says that the Hossa deal will effect re-signing Toews, Kane, and Keith. Basically said that they couldn't re-sign Havlat due to length of the deal and not due to money.
July 1, 200916 yr Well they were reporting Huet was close to be dealt....maybe they are still trying to deal him. I can't see them relying on our rookies though.
July 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:17 PM) Havlat to the Wild on a multi year deal possibly So Hossa replaces Havlat. Havlat replaces Gaborik. Will Gaborik replace Hossa?
July 1, 200916 yr I was reading they said Havlat to Montreal possibly as well....unconfirmed though Edited July 1, 200916 yr by EvilJester99
July 1, 200916 yr The thing in that press conference I did like was Dale saying the core WILL get taken care of...here is to hoping
July 1, 200916 yr Still out there Cammalleri, Havlat, Gaborik, Kovalev, Gionta, Tanguay, Koivu, Antropov....Komisarek, Beauchiman...Biron Heatley via trade 2nd tier... Madden, Pahlsson, Samuellsson, Zubov, McKee Colorado, Isles, NYR, Dallas, LA....no "noise" yet from them Wouldn't mind Tanguay Edited July 1, 200916 yr by EvilJester99
July 1, 200916 yr Cammalleri to the Habs .. now theres the deal all those annoying fans were wanting 5 years, 30 mil Edited July 1, 200916 yr by JFields27
July 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Cammalleri to the Habs .. now theres the deal all those annoying fans were wanting Very doubtful Havlat will go there now. Thinking on it they are paying more for Cami than we are for Hossa... nice! Edited July 1, 200916 yr by EvilJester99
