solid!!!

Nice blog Mike as always!!!
Any word on Bylsma's contract?

I heard five year term but nothing on the money front yet. My guess would be a similar contract to Mclellan 5 YR 15Mill

I can't wait till Quennville becomes a free agent.

Solid as usual Michael. I am very happy that we hired a coach that has won the Jack Adams, won the Stanley Cup and is preaching patience/development with our stable of young players. Plus he seems to be on the same page as his boss which is critically important.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in Rochester at all.[img][/img]

They hired Dan Bylsma because Murray wasn't able to hire Mike Babcock.

a short-timer on the wing would help...but i'm preparing for another non-playoff year and hoping they land in the top-three of next year's draft...

this year's free agent class is real weak, better they wait til next july, imo
