The Detroit Red Wings will announce a two-year extension for forward Todd Bertuzzi as early as Thursday.

Bertuzzi, 37, is in the last of a two-year deal that's averaged $1,937,500. His new deal is for closer to $2.2 million a season, and is backloaded.]]> http://www.freep.com/article/20120222/SP.../120222018

Just got back from the UC after a great win over the Red Wings. No Toews, but no Datsyuk so that evens out, but a very encouraging win on a number of levels.

This had to be the best team D I've seen them play all year. Once they got the lead in the first they completely shut down Detroit, limiting them to maybe one real scoring chance for the last 12 minutes or so. Crawford was great and I was impressed with the neutral zone positioning as well as the active sticks there.

It's amazing. After declaring them not to be Stanley Cup contenders this year they are slowly making me a believer again. Still plenty of hockey to be played, but after 4 encouraging wins in which they outscored their opponents 15-5 including three straight one goal against wins, they're trending in the right direction. If this team shows up in the playoffs they can compete against anyone, of course if they play like they did during the slump they could just as easily be swept in the first round against any opponent......here's hoping the wins continue.]]>

Maybe it was not Bryz, as much as the Yotes system. Look at how Mike Smith is doing.

This could get ugly after the fans jumped all over Bryz today and JVR then scolded the fans, via the media, afterwards.]]>

I have my ideas of what they'd have to give up.....but no idea. Chips include Grabner, Okposo, Niedderiter, Strome, DeHaan, maybe even a guy liek Montoya if the Isles can resign Nabby. Of course picks would be included and I'd love to see okposo stay. I wouldnt mind giving up Grabner and more to land one of these guys.
Anyways that's my thoughts. Its better than waiting for Parise to become a UFA and watch him go elsewhere.]]> I'm not gonna say more, but guys like this make this team a playoff team for years to come.

TSN on Nash being on the market: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=387786

Do you guys think Nash will approve a trade to Toronto or is that wishful thinking on the part of Leaf fans? It's going to take a big package to land Nash and I'm not sure Toronto has the assets to do that deal. It's hard to speculate on what Nash's short list would look like. Rangers? Red Wings? Boston? Not sure the Rangers want to mess with their line up, they are playing good hockey right now.]]>

The first round of the 1995 entry draft had 21/26 players play less than 100 games.

The second round had 8/26 play more than 100 games.

The third round had 8/26 play more than 100 games.

The Sharks had no players in the first three rounds that even played a game in the NHL.

In the entire draft, they had two players play more than 7 games - Toskala and Kiprusoff.

Talk about a failed draft...

---

The 2000 draft was worse...out of 7 players drafted, 22 games played in the NHL.

2002 draft - 125 games combined for two players.

2004 draft - 1 player with more than 40 games played (Torrey Mitchell).

2006 draft - 1 player with more than 50 games played (Jamie McGinn). Although, John McCarthy will go above that mark, and Ty Wishart may.

2 players drafted 2007 or later have played any games in the NHL - Tommy Wingels & Jason Demers.

The Sharks are so screwed once this core is finished...]]>

I was really unsure after they picked him up last year but he played well enough in the playoffs that i had hope thAt a lot of that was wrong.

Well ... I have to say that either he has changed or all of that was just hokum. He had his seventh fight last night ... Defeating Cal Clutterbuck. And he hasnt just been sticking up for himself but also for teammates. This seems to be a player who will do everything he can for his team and will uncomplainingly take on any role on the bottom two lines.

Hehas become a pretty valuable assett.]]>

The Sharks are wasting their games in hand, while teams ahead of them continue to win.

The defense and goaltending has been scary the last couple of games.

This team is so very streaky, up and down all season long. What it means, is that they will either be out in the first round, or the third round...their streaks don't last longer than 10 games or so either way.

DW has said he doesn't want another rent-a-player, which means that he will have to either pay for a player with at least one more year on his contract (with all the assets the organization does not have), or roll with the team as is into the playoffs.]]>
