E.G. players will go there for less money because they want a shot at the cup or will pick a player up from a team that is piss poor or has some other disadvantage resulting in players leaving.

I still don't see why this makes Detroit the "bad guy." We have a strong organization and fan base that likes to win. Of course players are going to want to come to a situation like that.
On a different note, I went to the Wings/Blackhawks game last night. For the first time ever, I got to sit in the lower bowl, 10 rows off the ice. It was amazing! God I love hockey!
