Finnish Wing

Not necessarily. I mean it could as well be ZDB and FFH. Does anyone see Filppula as a top six winger possible in the future?

Filppula will be our 2nd line center. I'd start looking for that 3rd line center already, if Williams isn't the guy.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi Kozlov-Miller-Cleary Draper-Helm-Eaves + Maltby

It's just my opinion. We'll see what happens if he can someday play with a quality center like Backstrom.

Any 3rd line center suggestions? Cap hit max. 1,5 (I think).

IMO Kovalchuk is better sniper than Ovechkin. Ovechkin just has had much better linemates.

Devils win easily. Though Kovalchuk might not fit in Lemaire's system. But Bergfors and Oduya? Can Bergfors be a top six forward and put up numbers constantly? He's in a team where he gets a bigger role now. Is it good or bad? Oduya is overpaid. Is he a top four d-man in the NHL? Salmela will get a new chance with the Devils. Low risk, medium reward. And even that pick trading? As like the deal wasn't good enough for Devils without swapping those 2nd round picks? LOL. An absolute steal. Nice job Lamoriello.

Didn't Forsberg just get injured AGAIN? Like third time in two months or something like that.

I think Atlanta is looking for two good players with good contracts for the present and future.

Not exactly a 3rd liner type.

IMO Kovalchuk is the best sniper in hockey, even better than Gaborik and Oveckhin. If he gets to play with good linemates (as he probably does in the near future) we will see some sick goal scoring. Still, as pointed out before it's just a "rental". I don't think we should make a move.

We'll just see if he plays in Winged Wheel uniform or not...

Jump to hyperspace!

Boston: Rask.

I know you would. Thank God you're not the one making the decisions.

Trade/waive Williams, Lebda, May and Leino and get a 3rd line center. Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi Miller-"X"-Cleary Draper-Helm-Eaves + Maltby Lidstrom-Rafalski Kronwall-Stuart Ericsson-Lilja + Meech

If you want to dangle dangle and aren't that big guy you should probably buy flexible composite stick. If you're a bigger guy and just want to work on your slapshot or something like that, go with stiff wooden stick.

I think Bykov know what kinda players he wants on his team. I just don't see Kovalev fitting there. Bykov has had great success so far, so I wouldn't criticize his choices too much.

I'd rather have Jussi Jokinen who's good now than Ville Peltonen who was good back in '95 as a fan of Team Finland.

Dunno about this guy, but I hate Rick Jeannerett, the Sabres announcer. Does anybody else? Sounds like he loses his voice every time the Sabres score a goal.

Thanks. Was looking for this before, but couldn't find anything.

Sharks are actually the only team who take Lebda and Leino when I trade or waive them in NHL Be a GM -mode. I think I got something like 1st, 4th and 5th round picks trading Lebda to Sharks.

I'd rather take that 3rd line center, unless Williams is the guy. We could trade Williams to get someone. Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi Miller-"X"-Cleary Draper-Helm-Eaves + Maltby, May/Leino

Yeah, but I meant every fan who doesn't cheer for USA or Canada. If my favourite club here in Finland would play against Team Finland, of course I'd cheer for my favourite club. You probably know what I mean.

They probably weren't flashy enough.
