Look at the tweet, it's a fake account.

 

[Winger98]

You're only buying out the rest of the season, how much is this guy worth again?

apparently not enough.

With this being leaked I don't know how the hell they don't buy him out, though. You can't let him walk back into the locker room now. (though maybe that's why this is getting leaked)

and the hold-up might be Ilitch is unwilling to pay for the buyout...

Did some digging, the source is shall we say… suspect I doubt Iilitch would care about the last few months of Newsy’s contract if he had a chance at getting at least 2 home playoff games

Would be nice, but I think the smoke on this one is from something not legal in all places

I should have dug first, but Parsons is usually somewhat credible.

Yeah, I should dug into it before posting, my bad

eh, I'm, okay with pretty much anyone wanting to give Ilitch grief.

Barely heard of sites are never a good source for anything.

Agreed, took a chance on Jim Parsons, he usually is somewhat solid, I should have checked his source first though, methinks he was into the eggnog too early

Chris is not the problem with the team so far.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Chris is not the problem with the team so far.

He certainly isn’t a factor in helping either franchise since he took over in my opinion either.

I get that Tigers fans aren't happy with him, but as far as the Wings are concerned he hired the GM that everyone wanted, spends max salary cap, and increased staff levels. What more do you want from an owner in a salary capped league?

The big money teams are always gonna dominate MLB, I don't watch baseball anymore.

He gets grief for way more than what he does for the tigers and wings.

No jersey patch and Fedorov in the rafters.

No jersey patch and Fedorov in the rafters.

Chris picked a sponsor which perfectly embodies the essence of this team, and you're gonna complain? Granted, I like my design better, the patch needs a dumpster fire.

As for Federov, I don't expect my former employers to do me any favors, and I worked over a dozen years for 2 companies. It's what happens when you leave on bad terms.

Speak for yourself. The Red Wings are my family lol.

Welp, as the Wings enter their "difficult period", it's good to remember this one:
