AIK'91

First ever post here (after a loss too?) I voted Filppula, mainly because it wouldn't make much sense to have Hossa tied up for 10+ years along with Zetterberg and Franzen. Filppula gives us depth down the middle and is our only legitimate second line center when Pav and Z are together. Even though Hossa would give us a badly needed natural goal scorer (albeit perhaps not in the playoffs if we make it), I still think Filppula has some upside as a more consistent offensive threat and is more important to our depth. He's shown glimpses in the past, like his strong play on the puck since coming back from injury and way back in late '07 when he had 9 goals in 10 games on Datsyuk's wing. Really, it would have been easier to just say that Hossa's contract would handicap the team moving forward and leave us with a big hole down the middle.
