Saturday Wings Notes
The Yzerman Decision
Nothing really new on this front.
“Steve’s not prepared to make a decision at this time,†Holland said. “He’s better of postponing it until he’s comfortable with the decision he makes. It’s a very difficult decision for him.â€
As I mentioned in my last post, Holland is willing to give him all summer to make his decision. Obviously, he’d appreciate it if the decision was made before July 1st so Holland knows where his cap will stand before going after any free agents or mulling the trade possibilities. Yzerman is on vacation with his family and then Holland is in Vancouver for the June 24th NHL Draft so they won’t talk until the week following the draft.
“But at the same time, he’s making a career decision, and he really, he’s the the face of the franchise. I’ve been here since the early 80’s and Steve was here. If it takes Steve all summer, we can deal with it.”
Todd Bertuzzi?
While IwoCPO @ A2Y doesn’t necessarily see Todd Bertuzzi coming to Hockeytown, he would love to see him in a Wings uniform by next season.
But, can you imagine Bertuzzi on a line with Zetterberg or Datsyuk? He’d score fifty. And, if he regains his nasty demeanor, Delma Huddle would go unscathed. Also, the Wings could open up Detroit’s practices to the public and every day we could watch Hearns/Hagler II as Chelios and Bert go at it.
I couldn’t agree more. Sure Bertuzzi had a very bad moment, but he’s paid his price. I think that a change of scenery would do for Bert and I’d be happy to offer Detroit as his new home. And Bert isn’t all bad, JJ @ Canucks Hockey Blog talked about a nice Bert back in late March of this year.
