    Next Seasons Needs/Team Future

    Lawton, Dore, Daigle, Brendl, Stefan, DiPietro, Scissons, the list goes on and on. Jurco was compared to Hossa, those comparisons mean nothing to me other than style of play.

    Wings "in the mix" for Iginla

    But they can all be best friends You're right, this is a good time and place to discuss buying out Franzen again

    Wings "in the mix" for Iginla

    Agreed, but the tendency around here is outrage over signing anyone even approaching the twilight of their career. Iginla contributed 61 pts last year, that's better than most players currently in their prime.

    I'm interested to know who ppl think deserves the Selke? I'm betting it will be Kopitar but Toews and Specifically Bergeron are up there as well The jack Adams has been 90% going to Wa since November

    Hartnell to Columbus for Umberger + 4th in 2015

    Na that's the routine of about 3 LGWers who apparently know better than professional hockey minds

    HHOF Class of 2014

    For the young wings fans who want to trade away Zberg and Datsyuk away, Hasek was a good goalie type we had had back in the day, no one who would have ever traded him.
  14. If we're talking rentals then my choice is Tiger Williams

    Hartnell to Columbus for Umberger + 4th in 2015

    Hartnell - 32, 4.75 cap hit, 5 years remaining, 52 pts last season Umberger - 32, 4.6 cap hit, 3 years remaining, 34 pts last season (4 less games played) Philly also got a 4th round pick CBJ got the immediate upgrade and moved a guy who wanted out. Philly shed a contract that will begin to lose its value in 3 years.

    Player Development - Patience pays off?

    We've had more vet contracts over the years so its been easier to sink players

    Player Development - Patience pays off?

    When you give an over-ripe player a shot at the NHL you know he's getting his best chance. He's had ample time to prepare. If he doesn't cut it, it wasn't meant to be anyway. Sinking players in the minors also gives you the best contracts. They will all be deflated bc they haven't proven anything at an NHL level either. Wings have known about this for years, and are still great because of it, despite picking low every year. Damn Nill for letting the word out!

    Oldy, but new to me. Thought everyone would enjoy. Classic Datsyuk, classic Ovi

    Brad Richards bought out by Rangers

    Weiss will get another shot, and I doubt Ken trades. My guess is he'll wait till FA and probably talk to the likes of Stastny and Legwand, and maybe others if their situations change.

    Brad Richards bought out by Rangers

    It's getting kind of ridiculous how many options at center there might be this year. Kesler, Spezza, B Richards, O'Rielly, Stastny, Legwand, J Thornton, Bolland, Grabovski, Ott, Roy, O Jokinen

    Seems like yesterday when he was the hottest C on the FA market
