commentary...

the additions of Daniel Alfordsson,and Stephen Weiss means two things for the Red Wings:their team offense,and power play should be better,because Weiss is a very good passer,and Alfordsson played many times with Red Wings' captain Henrik Zetterberg on many Swedish national hockey teams,and the Red Wings focused on Weiss in free agency,and reports say that Alfordsson got the cold shoulder,in the financial matters,until it was too late for the Senators to make a substantial offer on opening day of free agency... he had talked to Boston and Detroit before free agency,in general terms,so both teams were on the radar for a free agent contract,but honestly,it was a shock,and a good surprise,for the Red Wings...
