Alfie leaving Ottawa, becomes a Red Wing

[DetDannyWilliams]

He's apparently all but signed with the Red Wings. According to multiple reports, it'll be a one-year deal, and Sportnet's Nick Kypreos reports it'll be worth less than $6 million (https://twitter.com/RealKyper/status/353169311831040002). http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2013-07-05/nhl-free-agents-list-best-live-blog-daniel-alfredsson-red-wings-free-agency-star

Well this guy's been a Sabre killer his whole career so it's good to get him out of the div.... oh, wait.

Yes... and he's better than anything we have on our roster.

In terms of careers I will agree with you but if I'm building a franchise the Sabres have much better blocks.

I don't see how he thinks Detroit has that much better of a chance of winning the cup than Ottawa.
