how would you have shortened it ? by over paying n over terming risky ufa that wouldnt have brought in a cup anyway while costing long term cap plus weakend detroits draft position by improving record a littlle bit ? ufa that would be beyond prime when redwings kids were ready ? hes attempting to build redwings up to become long term cup runners , as opposed to your outlook that he should of spent future assets to just get in only to get quickly kicked out . you cry baby fans arent gonna rattle yzergods cage , hes building tampa bay north ''the red lightning''
