stoneySIOUX Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Funny how people forget the time span from about 1994 thru 2009 when most hockey fans in Chicago followed the Red Wings... HAHAHA snap. I despise the Wings, but that was flippin' funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux rube Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 By Michael Russo The Mike Reilly sweepstakes are coming to an end this afternoon and unless something backfires, he will be signing with the Wild. Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher is currently meeting with agent Mike Liut to continue negotiations toward potentially a Devan Dubnyk deal. Agent Todd Diamond, Mikael Granlund's agent, is waiting in the lobby to meet with Fletcher next. But in other much-anticipated news, sources tell me agent Pat Brisson is expected to call Fletcher this afternoon with the news that Reilly has chosen the Wild. He can not officially sign until Wednesday. Again, unless something backfires (I keep saying that because Reilly's camp has not informed the Wild yet), Reilly is expected to agree to a two-year, $1.85 million deal (plus bonuses) with the Wild, sources say. The former Gophers defenseman, who became a free agent June 16 when he didn't sign with the Columbus Blue Jackets, was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a Hobey Baker finalist. The Chicago-born, Minnesota-raised Reilly chose the Wild over the Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins. He met with 10 teams at the recent combine. Reilly’s dad, Mike, is a minority investor with the Wild’s ownership group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 After dealing Lucic and Hamilton, suddenly BOS has the 13th, 14th, and 15th picks in the first round, and Marty Jones. Think that's enough to get the 2nd overall pick away from BUF so they can go "Mauer" and keep the hometown boy (Eichel) in BOS? I'm not sure why else BOS loaded up like that. Or has BOS gotten that old and this is their trigger to youth for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray77 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Or Boychuk.... How true. That was the beginning of it all...and that was under Chiarelli. I just don't know what to think anymore! I went from thinking that missing the playoffs last year (barely) would be a blip on the radar to now thinking that it might be a few years till they make it back.

Actually, as a fan of the Red Wings, I just happen to have watched a lot of Detroit/Chicago games. It's hilarious listening to Roenick, Milbury, etc. ramble on and on about Chicago's always-loyal hockey fans. It wasn't all that long ago that they were practically giving away Blackhawks tickets with $5 Little Caesar's pizzas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if Detroit ever does something in the playoffs again.....we will hear the same sort of ramblings about Detroit.

He is retired but can't retire or he would be throwing away a ton of money. I believe there is one more year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Pronger has not officially retired, yet he works for the NHL while still on the Flyers payroll. My guess is that this is a wink-wink deal to keep the NHL safe from a concussion lawsuit brought forth by Pronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
