2009-10 NHL preview: Detroit Red Wings

http://www.inquisitr.com/40625/2009-10-nhl-preview-detroit-red-wings/

The Detroit Red Wings have been one of the finest sports organizations in any sport over the past twenty years. It is really too bad that the NHL salary cap finally caught up to them. In previous years Wings’ owner Mike Illitch would have cut check to Marian Hossa, Mikael Samuelson, Jiri Hudler, and Tomas Kopecky. However this year he could not, and the Wings had to let all four players go. After signing both Henrick Zetterberg and Johan Franzen to very cap friendly long term deal the Wings just didn’t have enough cap space to make a big splash on the free agent market.
