Mike Modano Only Makes the Red Wings Better


We've seen the Detroit Red Wings go out and get 40+ year old guys and integrate them into their system. Then again, anything is possible for the Detroit Red Wings.

What is possible is for them to sign Mike Modano away from the Dallas Stars. He was shown the door in Dallas but he still feels he has the urge to play.

Hmm! An interesting signing by the Detroit Red Wings just a few weeks ago. I didn't really find it as surprising, but I'll tell you this. The Red Wings are known to collect old-age guys and make it work on their team. Kirk Maltby, Nick Lidstrom, Brian Rafalski, all those type of players. They seem to do well for the Wings, so why not add another guy who can be a physical and threatening presence on the ice?

Sounds like a good move to me. This signing will only make the Red Wings better and could potentially give them the ability to challenge the Blackhawks again in the Central Division. After all, the Blackhawks are starting to crumble like broken chocolate chip cookies, but maybe there's a point there.

Will the crumpling Blackhawks allow the Red Wings to retake the Central Division and challenge the Canucks and Sharks again? Hmm, another interesting view. But the signing of Mike Modano makes those predictions a bit more true. With that kind of talent on the ice, you can bet the Detroit Red Wings will become better and make it to the playoffs again.
