NOPE, the word on the street is that Cujo will be back. He still has another year on his contract. Lets just hope that Lagecy gets more net time.........

We're going to lose some players before next season. Possible losses:

Sergei Fedorov
Kris Draper
Darren McCarty
Luc Robitaille (already gone)

..I know there are more too.

Where did you hear this? where and when did Robitaille go?

Between periods of a playoff game. The ESPN guys were discussing who may be gone in Detroit. The Wings declined to pick up Robitaille's option for 2004, so he's gone. Fedorov is probably going to test the free agent market. He has already turned down a HUGE contract extension with Detroit. McCarty and Draper are also free agents who may see what they can get elsewhere, although ESPN thinks McCarty will probably resign with Detroit.

On another note, Yzerman said he will play another season.

I don't see Yzerman going anywhere else. And I hope Hull stays the rest of his career with Detroit.

Yzerman is returning to Detroit. Hull said he will end his career with Detroit.
