    #6 Bryan Little

    He is an RFA and a huge chip. The Thrashers have cap space according to the NHL, but their self-imposed space may mean they have to actually make space. Little is a potential star.

    Teams rumored to have interest...Montreal and Detroit

    little 5`10 190

    08-09 79gp -- 31g -- 20 as =51pts

    09-10 79gp -- 13g -- 21as -- 34 pts

    09-10 salary 850.000

    not a bad player

    Eklund is somewhat turdish.....

    Wow what do you know.. Newfy made another one of these threads, surprising right?

    Okay I think this is the last one(we'll see) but here is another pretty good option for our gritty 4th line type guy. He's definitely not my first choice but he isn't an awful choice either.

    I think the biggest thing to look at here is the ice time. He can consistently put in 10 minutes a night without being a huge liability as well as put up 20 points roughly a season. He is definitely a tougher player, he had 13 fights one season but that number was down to 3 last year and 5 the year before. He's 31 which isn't too old and still play 9 or 10 minutes a night. He has very similar size to Abdelkader.

    He doesn't fight as much anymore but will step in for his team and definitely defend himself. He is very similar to Dallas Drake. Check this fight out.

    or this one which shows he can hit pretty good and will answer the bell.

    What do you guys think?

    3rd person reference alert...... And I agree..

    Exactly - we definitely need a player on this team that will stand up for his teammates and hold other teams accountable, but at the same token, he needs to be defensively responsible and still chip in a couple points... I would LOVE to see a guy like Clarkson from NJ here, but I don't see them letting him get away, as he has potential to be a true power forward who can get you 20+ goals a year in addition to his toughness... with that said, I think Arron Asham, Eric Nystrom or Brad Winchester would all be good additions to this team for what they offer, depending on the price tag...

    Armstrong and Asham are the two that I have in mind. Its been reported the wings have had Armstrong in their sight the last 3-4 off-seasons. I would like them to snag him this off-season for 2-3 years. A scrapper that will fight with the best of them, has great play making ability, and can score a solid 20-25 a year.

    Cory Emmerton are that we have a chance to see him play a couple of game with the Wings this year, `I've seen playing in the Ontario Junior is it was very good, very good marker.very good prospect for the future...

    it was a very good shooter ,

    Jesus Christ. How f***ed up are you tonight. You sound like the local dry cleaner after a dozen beers.

    Yes. At Jimmy Devellano's apartment in Detroit. He invited us over for pictures and drinks with the cup in '98. I was 17, and we had the cup there along with several of his rings from the NHL, and AHL. Cool little piece of hockey history he shared with us that day. Mr. D is a great guy. Thanks Dr. O'Malley.

    I have been lucky enough to grow up in the a few minutes from Downtown Detroit, and have been a CBC viewer for the 26 years of my existence. Yet, for this series I am going to need a barf bag, and a mute button because of the Sid talk. NBC does it as well, but CBC will be on in my home. Which do you prefer?

    Abby is one of those players that is at the right place at the right time all the time. I listen the Sirius CBC hockey and when they speak of all the youth the wings have in GR, they always bring up Abby as the player to watch for. This kid is fun to watch, makes plays with his grit and speed. He will kick some ars on Sunday.
