It's going to be amazing to see Holland trade all of the Wings young talent for draft picks, then trade those draft picks to reacquire Kyle Quincey.

Trump literally wants to make it legal to discriminate based on sexuality.

Scott Hartnell is stupid so he probably doesn't know that, but he doesn't get credit for ignorance.

Actually, Pence wants that. Trump is the one who is a huge pervert.

Robert Kraft?

Kraft didn't come into a dead city and spent decades bringing it back like Ilitch did.

Also, Ilitch was literally the son of immigrants who came up from nothing to essentially be the greatest city patron ever.

On the date of that letter, I went to a Wings game for my 4th birthday. The Wings beat Pittsburgh 4-3, Mario Lemieux got his 1000th point, and a fan caught a puck in his beer.

Probably because a lot of us know people who got suckered into the Amway pyramid scheme.

Amway has nothing to do with Ilitch. Amway is the DeVos family and Grand Rapids.

That whole sponsorship thing was due to Tom Wilson, and backlash killed that thing early.

The Red Wings have 10 combined goals from Sheahan, Abdelkader, Ericsson, Kronwall, Glendening & DeKeyser.

They are making a total of $21 million this year, out of $79 million, and the Wings have zero available cap space.

Yikes.

Sort of a similar indictment for Boston's forwards: Bergeron, Marchand, and Pastrnak have combined for 63 goals this year. That single line is 40% of Boston's total goals so far.

Here's another bad sign, albeit more of an apocryphal one: the Red Wings' All-Star was Frans Nielsen, and he has been invisible on the ice. I can't honestly remember a time when I thought that wow, Nielsen's really having a great shift/game.

The most memorable part of his season has been shooting pucks into little nets in the skills competition.
