08:25 AM ET 07.02 | As Zach Parise and Ryan Suter continued to make the Red Wings, along with a few other teams, sweat into Monday, Detroit remained active. The Wings remain interested in Columbus superstar Rick Nash, but are disadvantaged by needing to make an offer so sweet it will entice the Blue Jackets to trade the face of their franchise to a team within the Central Division. About $17 million remains in salary cap space. ... [Jonas Gustavsson, Mikael Samuelsson, Jordin Tootoo and Damien Brunner] give shape to the Wings' promise of being different -- especially so Tootoo, a punishing hitter who has got a reputation for being dirty. "We're stepping out of our comfort zone," Holland said.

really? I had no idea
I think though, when your share a name (audibly) with a piece of ballerina paraphenalia, you really must feel the need to hit people

How are they steping out of their comfort zone if all the FA's are supposed to go there?

There appears to be some hesitation on all the available FA's to do so.

For some reason I have this feeling he will end up in Pittsburgh....then all they need is a Stills to complete the trifecta

Supposedly the Rangers don't want to trade Stephan or any of their big 3 Dmen. Smart I guess, but you have to give something to get something. Plus with the cap hit Nash has, they kind of have to trade someone decent to get cap relief.

Wait, what? Are you saying that all the FAs haven't signed with the Red Wings, yet?

I always wondered why the Rangers would be interested in Nash. He seems to be similar to Richards in the type of role he would play.

They're all standing in line, hat in hand, waiting their turn. It takes a while to process all the paper work y' know.

Don't remind me! I suppose Leighton can provide decent back-up, if the Flyers improve the defense. If not, this season will be a repeat of last season.

because he can score. This will be cured the moment he gets here I'm certain

That's true. Hadn't thought of all the work involved. If it's any comfort, Adrian Datar has both Parisie and Suter heading to the Wings, so I guess it's a done deal.

As a Flyers fan, I still think they were smart to hold onto their defensemen. I'm jealous.
