Looooong term contracts. Maybe it's 2012 Syndrome, perhaps the gm's around the league think the world is going to end or something so... why not?!

I believe NHL.com has Suter is a top 5 defenseman. That's definitely elite.
Weber, Staal, Markov (when healthy), Karlsson and Letang. That's five better off the top of my head lol
Staal, not quite yet. Markov, maybe three years ago. However, I do agree that it is easy to name five defencemen off the top of my head that are superior to Ryan Suter: Zdeno Chara, Shea Weber, Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang, Drew Doughty
They didn't win either!
I'd take Staal over Suter. I guess with Markov, it's hard to tell since he never plays lol. We didn't even mention Duncan Keith, Brian Campbell or Dan Girardi. There are lots I would take over Suter that are younger as well like Alex Pietrangelo or Oliver Ekman-Larsson. I think the NHL.com writer who put Suter in the top five had to have been American (since Suter is).
So by your reasoning, 29 teams stink? Yeah, makes sense.
I will admit... the Wings aren't the greatest, but they don't cheat to get their ways.
Don't be surprised if Luongo is still a Canuck when the season starts. Although I just want this to end quick, so we know what else we need to do in free agency. I've heard good things about Garrison.

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
Hasn't been decided yet as far as I know, I think they will pick a new C when training camp starts... I suspect its gonna be H. Zetterberg unless he turns it down. :2 cents:
I agree, but I don't know who would really fit the position that well. Especially filling the shoes of Yzerman and Lindstrom.
I think it should be Pavel Datsyuk, but Zetterberg would be a great choice as well.
In related wings news, Lidstrom has signed on to be one of their Swedish scouts:

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
great all we need is more small soft euro's coming to the Red Wings..
I think the Red Wings should rock the boat right now.. while the Preds GM has a moral conundrum on his hands, considering the upcoming status with Shea Weber, Nashville already knows that there hopes to keep Weber is slim and none, after Weber saw what Suter got, he's counting the days to cash in on a long-term deal that's gonna make him the highest paid D-Man in the league, so Nashville should just trade him now before they are left with NADA.. That's the progressive / aggressive approach the pens took with Jordan Staal, now the Red Wings should just ante up and make Weber there top priority. they missed on Suter because of family ties, now they can't afford to let Weber get away. The Red Wings should pursue Weber with all the marbles on the table right now, sort of speak. a D-Man that can make or break a franchise only comes around every so often, Detroit needs to jump on this NOW. :2 cents:

The captaincy is between Datsyuk and Zetterberg, and for whatever reason Zetterberg just seems more fit for the spot to me.
Agreed. Datsyuk has the better hands, but Zetterberg just seems like more of a leader to me as well.
Do you even know how the Wings got Lidstrom and Datsyuk? You might think the Wings' style is "soft", but I sure as hell wouldn't fuck with it.
