This'll probably be me talking to myself again, much like the gameday threads 
Salary Cap info
Print Screen!
Let the good times roll for one more season with Zetterberg and Franzen. Supposedly Kenny was trying to negotiate an even longer deal for Franzen on his last one, but he didn't bite. 
Statuses:
UFA
McCarty - 2-way offer on the table.
Hartigan - KHL
Drake -Retired 07/15/2008
Other:
Helm - still has to earn a spot on the team in training camp. I'm still not sure if Detroit will keep him up for 10 minutes a night, or keep him in GR playing 20.
Abbadabbadoo: Grand Rapids, unless he really impresses in training camp. Babs liked what he brought in his brief stint at the end of the season. Me too.
Ville Leino - huge wild card. On a one year deal.
Johan Ryno - playing another season in Sweden.
Marian Hossa has been brought in for one year @ 7.45 mil
Voltron - Resigned with Detroit for 5 years at 3 per year
Stuey -Resigned with Detroit for 4 years at $3.75 per year
Lilja - Resigned with Detroit for 2 years at $1.25 per year
Ericsson - Resigned for 3 years, 900k hit per year cap hit. Still has a year of waiver-exemption
Howard - Resigned for 3 years at $716,666.67 per year cap hit. Still has a year of waiver-exemption
Old balls signed for 1 year
Quincey signed for 2 years
Ty Conklin has been brought in for one year @ 750k.
Steve Downey - Resigned for 1 year, 2-way deal
Darren Haydar - signed for 1 year, 2-way at $525,000 NHL salary
Ryan Oulahen - signed for 1 year.
Brad McCrimmon brought in as the new assistant coach

Between winning the Stanley Cup, finding out that Toronto will be the opening night opponent for the Cup Banner raising ceremony and now signing Stuart and Hossa. I do believe, that taking this all together, that this will put a grin on my face that will be hard to remove all summer long.

For openers ... The NHL schedule will be released in mid-July, and changes still can be made, but the Maple Leafs and Wings are expected to begin the regular season at Joe Louis Arena on a "Hockey Night in Canada"/Versus spectacular.
The NHL wants to make its start of the regular season an event similar to how the NFL opens its season with a special Thursday night telecast. |

What about the European games next year? I assume those will happen before that game does.

I don't know. We'll have to wait for the schedule to come out to see what transpires with that.

It was a lot of fun watching his career over the years. He was a great competitor no matter who he was playing with. He always had my respect and I still don't like the trade that sent him to Winnipeg for Essensa. But, bringing him back to win the Cup last year was a great move.

Howard also has another year of waiver exemption, so his deal is similar to Ericsson's... both will likely go to Grand Rapids this year, but with the idea of playing for the Wings full time in 2009-10.

The qualifying offer with Quincey has expired (they all expire on July 15). He's obviously looking for a different contract offer than that one.
