Just for that I am going to start a thread called "Fehr vs. Bettman: Who would you draft?"
-
If you follow the griffins at all you would know Nyquist put weight on. Brunner will too, just like kronwall did, just like datsyuk did, just like everyone does. It's too bad emmerton didn't try gaining some skill while he gained weight
-
No Lidstrom was our quiet leader, the face of the team. Helm was and is our heart
-
You're really stretching if you only want 5
-
Are you crazy? Not DEAD tired... just tired enough
-
He IS the heart and soul of our team.

Good grief, I hate NBC. I only get 11 games not on nbc?
-
Who wants to watch back to back games against the ducks in Anaheim? this isn't baseball It wasn't that they were opposed to realignment. They weren't given all the information, and there were so many unknowns come playoff time, and when they asked for the info bettman dragged his feet. Don't even get me started on the uneven divisions
-
Unless Brunner turns into a leader on the team. Helm definitely deserves it though more than anyone but datsyuk and zetterberg.

I need a prayer answered, please.....no toot-toot whistles.

Hey that wasn't a sexist thing. You say something like that and don't think about it first, the dirty minds will catch it and run, guy girl, or transvestite lol. Edit: could you imagine Murph: "well that puts a new twist on dollar hot dog nights" Mickey Redmond "well I guess you could say he really left his jockstrap hanging from the clock" -
I know and I was being facetious Ahhh the second coming

While it would be great to see the kid promoted for his hard work, he is more of a grinder and wouldn't do overly great in a top 6 role. He does get a lot of ice time on pks and that does inflate his toi, so for the 10-12 minutes or so he plays a game not on a pk he does put up a decent amount of points, but he is a grinder, not a playmaker, power forward, or sniper unfortunately. I would love to be proved wrong though. Edited for grammar

how bout the energizer brunny
-
While bert and sammy have experiience and some skill left in the old bag, I disagree they are better. The nhl is a younger faster version. In order for the wings to keep up with other teams they can't have bert and sammy slowing down the top 2 lines, Franzen does that enough, we need more speed which Brunner can provide assuming he adjusts accordingly to our rink size.
-
I thought someone said impact trade... not desperate attempt...
-
this. Franzen has skill and ability to score, no one is denying that. What he lacks is hard work and dedication, If you're a chef and you have all the skill in the world but you only put out 1 in 6 dishes good because you got lazy, you are not better than the workhorse down the line who doesn't put out a very high quality dish, but is very consistent with what he does put out, but puts out what is expected and more. I don't think we should buy franzen out, that is just dumb, if we are paying him anyways might as well get some goals for it, but if we could trade him for something decent like a top 4 d-man, I would be down for that.
-
I think they are from the standpoint that they are workhorses for now at least. Skill wise Franzen takes the cake, the problem is he only shows up when he feels like it. If I had to choose between Helm and Franzen, guess what Franzen would be packing his bags. Helm comes out every night and gives %110 percent, thats why he is better than franzen, thats why Nyquist, smith, and tatar are better than franzen.When you score 20 goals in a month and then 10 goals in the next 4 months you obviously don't care enough
-
I think they would most certainly out perform them, maybe not under goals because we know franzen can net 30/season. the problem is franzen will score 3 goals in a game against colombus that we were winning anyways and then not score for 2 weeks. I actually do like franzen, he just needs to have that same sense of urgency he has in the playoffs, in the regular season.
-
I think Nyquist and tatar have more to prove so will most certainly work harder than Franzen, because we know how lazy and streaky he can be
-
I'm in favour of just calling him brunner, let murph or mickey come up with some ridiculous homer name, they are way better at this than us. Only difference is they don't realize how ridiculous they sound. lol
-
Yup, gary bettman is coming to our team to play backup to howie
-
Hop in the delorian and scoot to tomorrow, there you can watch it
-
6th and 7th round you mean. Also we have tatar, nyquist, smith and jarnkrok currently that are looking like studs
-
Nyquist is a puck moving, quick skater, with a great sense ofwhats going on. Most rookies play like crap their first few games, he didn't. He always didn't get on the score sheet a lot bouncing between four lines though. Datsyuk had 35 points in his first year which was 70 games, Nyquist was on pace for 27 points in 70 games, really not that far off. Cut him some slack, and have some faith in our team
