Red Wings signed Curtis Joseph for the following season

 
"It was very hard (to trade him),"nhl jerseys  Thrashers GM Rick Dudley told NHL.com. "We know Jeremy Morin is going to be a significant player down the road."
   Whether he gets to center the second or third line doesn't matter. The Red Wings' third line, expected to include the returning Jiri Hudler, will be better than the third lines of half the teams in the discount nhl jersey NHL. If Modano had 30 points in 59 games with a thin Stars club last season, he's capable of between 40-50 in a full season with the Red Wings. Just as crucially, Modano does not have to be the face of the franchise, as he has been for the entirety of his career in Minnesota and Dallas. At age 40, in a Detroit locker room jam-packed with world-class talents, big personalities and respected leaders, Modano will get to be one of the boys. Hudler, who had 57 points in 2008-09, will be expected to produce north of 60 and Cleary likely around 50. If they all stay healthy, the Wings could have one of the best third lines in the NHL.

Morin, a 6-foot-1, 189-pound right wing, nhl jerseys scored the game's first goal and arguably was the U.S. team's most active offensive player in a 6-3 defeat of Finland at the USA Rink at the Olympic Center here.
