It's just great to hear that Brandon Sutter is feeling well enough to attempt a comeback. He's got nothing left to prove and hopefully he saved his money earned to date in order not to have to work again.

Yeah, between the Penguins and Canucks, he's done all right for himself financially. It still pales in comparison to your health, though.

He hasn't been able to walk a flight of stairs without getting winded for the past couple of years.

He can stand in front of the net and have McDavid bang pucks in off his butt.

/Likely a better fighter than Huggy Bear Stortini as well

I forgot we even had him LOL. So much for one of the assets picked up in the Tanner Jeannot trade

Sutter out, Suter in.

@sbb122 when reading this.

Seriously though would have loved to see him in Pittsburgh.
Just like Vancouver he would have fit in perfectly as he doesn't like playing on playoff teams.

Very happy with this signing.
Was wondering why he was still available.

We still need to dump at least one winger

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Was wondering why he was still available.

He had a decent rookie season skating next to Patrick Kane and then was probably the victim of his own hype a little.

Not breaking the bank for him is good but it's kind of a shit on the wall signing and I'm not sure why that got him a second year but like I always say with these signings, if $1.6m is fucking your cap up you have bigger problems than the $1.6m.

Had a feeling his time back in Montreal was short-lived. But is this really a win for the Red Wings?

EDIT: Missed the 50% salary retain so Petry at 2.3 million is not as bad.

^ Also add as a goalie not sure what d-pairing is scarier in front of them?
Petry with Matheson
or
Petry with Holl/Chariot or Gostisbehere

Dammit! I just bought back my Petry jersey!

Detroit's blue line last season before Yzerman took over was Kronwall, Mike Green, Hronek, DeKeyser, Dennis Cholowski and Nick Jensen.

Now I'm not saying what they have now is worse but if it is better it isn't by much and is almost entirely because Seider is good (maybe?). Beyond that, not much to show after 5 years of sucking.

Uggg I didn't look at their d-core in complete detail until now.
If they put Petry and Maatta out there together they might have the slowest pairing in all the NHL. I have seen turtles move quicker than them two.

Didn't realize their core was that bad but it is awful.
