		<title>Qualified Good News on Leino and Hudler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to Helene St. James, the Wings will have Leino signed to a two-year contract very soon, possibly today. That&#8217;s great news, if it pans out. The team needs Leino to stick around, obviously, and he needs the Wings to keep him since they probably offer his best chance at regular NHL ice time right [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Hossa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brief thoughts on Hossa:
&#8230; I didn&#8217;t really want him to re-sign, so I&#8217;m not disappointed in that way. I am, however, disappointed in his choice of destination. Chicago is probably the only team in the League that I would have found offensive, and now I&#8217;m finding it hard not to be pissed at the guy. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hossa&#8217;s Gone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update (01. Jul, 2:16 PM): Staggering, mind-blowing deal: 12-years, $62.4 million with Chicago. Wow. More to come after work. - Matt
Sportsnet, via Winging It In Motown:
Sportsnet has learned Marion Hossa has turned down a contract offer from the Red Wings that would have kept the all-star with the Red Wings for the next 10 years.

		<title>Howard&#8217;s Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One interesting bit of Khan&#8217;s piece that I didn&#8217;t mention in my last: the Wings won&#8217;t offer Conklin a contract, which means Howard&#8217;s all but assured the back-up spot next season. Only way he loses it is if he is terrible in camp and Larsson isn&#8217;t. Not likely to happen.
That means Howard is the guy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hossa re-signing looking unlikely, may be for the best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ansar Khan has the latest on the Hossa &#8220;negotiations&#8221; here. It doesn&#8217;t sound like he&#8217;ll be back, as Holland himself is not optimistic and is even talking about possibly shopping his rights as early as Monday.
When I read that the Hossa camp is seeking a deal averaging $6 million a year, I have to think he&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Draft Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m no good with prospects, so I&#8217;m deferring to Kyle on this. He&#8217;s got a review of the Wings&#8217; draft choices here. Sounds like the Wings did pretty well, all things considered.

		<title>The Captain&#8217;s In</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve known this day would come for  long time: Steve Yzerman is part of the Hockey Hall of Fame&#8217;s class of 2009. Joining one of the greatest leaders in sports history in entering the Hall this year will be former Red Wings Brett Hull and Luc Robataille, as well as Brian Leetch.
Congrats to all, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of an Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update (23. Jun, 9:40 AM): Interesting Holland quote in the Windsor Star regarding a possible future in Detroit should he have trouble signing elsewhere:
&#8220;I told him to spend the summer (looking) and if things don&#8217;t work out we can talk down the road.&#8221;
I assume that such a discussion would involve a front office position and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post-Awards Comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Congrats to Datsyuk for winning his fourth Lady Byng and second Selke tonight. It&#8217;s too bad Lidstrom didn&#8217;t get the Norris, but at least that pretender Green didn&#8217;t get it.
The show, by the way (if you didn&#8217;t watch), was about as painful as usual. Bad music, stumbling Hollywood types and wooden ex- and current player [...]]]></description>

		<title>MacLeod on Handshakegate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bruce MacLeod&#8217;s got some good thoughts on the Crosby/Lidstrom thing. Some of his points echo my own views on the matter.
Basically, I feel like for Crosby it&#8217;s too much success, too soon, and that winning the Cup now after just four years really messes up any chances the guy has of ever reaching real maturity [...]]]></description>
