BTW, I have to admit I think the Wings are in big trouble if they can't somehow get a top 4 (for them) d-man. That playoff streak might be in jeopardy.

Carolina signed Alexander Semin to a one year deal for 7 mill.

Your statement still stands, it could have crippled them, but less so.

I thought he was going back to Russia, but he might be a good fit in Carolina. OTOH, since nobody else wanted him, I'd have thought they could have had a discount. He's certainly not worth 7 M outside the KHL.

Agreed....Unless he brings his "A Game" every night (and he never has), he certainly isn't worth anywhere near 7 million.

No secret Boyle is being shopped by the Sharks especially after signing Stuart. He's 36 and has 2 years I think left at over 6 mill. After the Quincey committed armed robbery getting almost 8 million for 2 years. Maybe the Wings will make a play. Rumor mill says Preds and Wings both kicking tires. If I'm the Sharks I play hard ball as he has interest from some teams in the East also. Hope they make it hurt a little if its the Wings or Preds.
