Ty Conklin is a latter-day Gary 'Suitcase' Smith - Wings fans better pray to (insert deity of choice) that Jimmy stays healthy.

Hello (again)!

Conks was a good soldier for Detroit a couple of years ago, never complained about being in the rotating goalie turnstile or Detroit's half assed defense. Not a bad backup, not a good starter.

Does this mean we get the Winter Classic?

This leaves Detroit with alot of room cap-wise. I'm content.

That's still a heck of a hockey team in Vancouver - At least you guys know that you'll be right back in the playoffs next season. I wish I could say the same for the Flames.

yeah I recognize that pretty big too. At least you have 1 Cup in the organization. that counts pretty big. even if it was from 89. maybe next year
