from Lightning Strikes,
But it was difficult to ignore Prospal’s outburst, though Torts did his best.
“I’m not here to be the happy man and make everybody happy,’’ he said. “I’m here to make calls as far as the game is concerned.’‘
And this after Torts was asked if he sensed some relief in Prospal:
“I’m sure there was quite a bit of relief and a few other things, too. That’s life. He played really well. Athletes that are upset, they contribute and help the team win, coaches are happy. This isn’t a touchy-feely thing here or love fest. This is a game of hockey and we’re fighting for our life.’‘
what did Prospal say, well read on...

Hmmmmmmmm…I’ve heard that many players enjoy playing hockey in Detroit. I think Prospal would look great in the Winged wheel. Of course, there is that little matter of compensation. How about Sammy, Quincey, a bag of pucks, and the rights to talk to Ken Holland about the GM job in Toronto? 
Seriously, I do think he’d be a great pickup, but don’t know if the Wings would want to pay the real price in terms of assets and/or re-signing him.

Because of the Ilitch/Davidson realationship, I would be shocked to see any kind of trade between Tampa Bay and Detroit.
