Son of a Wing

Do you ever post ANYTHING to contribute to good discussion? Just another smart ass comment by Zion.

WOW anyone else see the 2 big hits Helm made in the Slovakia game? He got corked once with his head down but still made the two biggest hits of the game. Watch the highlights if you haven't seen them yet. http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/news_story/?ID...bname=world_jrs really excited for this guy

Why do you even bother coming to this website? All you do is ***** about the people on it and the topics discussed. Sheesh if you hate "LGW" so much just leave. Your constant negative repeative comments are getting old.

Maybe you've missed the past 100 topics on this but yes it has gotten old to speculate this "lets trade a center for a scoring winger". It's all been speculated on here ALL offseason. It's obvious it won't happen anytime soon. Let's see how the season folds out and then bring this back maybe near the trade deadline. Maybe someone will step up maybe they won't. If it was sooo obvious then management would have done something by now. They are giving the young guys a shot as they should.

Not all trades are focused on building for the future. They desperately need a playoff quarterback and Carle is not ready to fill that roll all season. .....oh and I dont know why you seem to think Dasyuk is unrestricted next year.

How about: Datsyuk and Schneider for Marleau and Murray/Davison

Not meant to be negative to anyone just thought it would be humourous. Enjoy!

First this is just a THEORY so no flamers please THE SCORE: reports Anaheim Mighty Ducks GM Brian Burke may not be done dealing in the wake of his shipping high-priced center Sergei Fedorov to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The site suggests veteran blueliner Ruslan Salei "could be sacrificed" if Burke decides to shop for a centre. Ok so Anaheim dealt Sergei away for peanuts. It was a dump. Brian Burke has stated that he is not done dealing and would like to improve his team. With the loss of Fedorov that would leave anaheim with Rob Neidermeyer as their top centerman. They could definately use a Top flight centerman. Now i think Detroit would be a trade contender for we have an abundance of high quality centermen. -- Datsyuk, Lang, Zetterberg, Draper, Williams, Yzerman. They are all natural centermen although i would hardly call Yzerman a Top centerman anymore. Plus we have Franzen who has proved himself and Hudler coming up next year. They need a proven scoring center so that narrows it down to Lang, Zetterberg or Datsyuk. Since I dont see Detroit moving D or Z I wouldnt be surprised to see Lang go. Especially since he hasnt quite been the dominant force we all thought he would be SO FAR. Not sayin he wont be. Just sayin our forward corps could survive without him. Now what would Detroit want back? Well what are their biggest weakness'? I think most would agree at this point in the season it has been lack of toughness and Defence. Some may say goaltending recently but i'll stick with toughness and defence. So since Burke has been stated saying Salei could be offered up I think it fits great. Have them throw in a draft pick or say somelike Mcdonald I think it would overall improve our team. Plus salei is Cheaper and younger. Possible Line Up: Shanahan Datsyuk Williams Samuelson Zetterberg Holmstrom Maltby Draper Yzerman Cleary Franzen Mcdonald/Sykora/Fedoruk/Hedstrom Lidstrom Salei Schneider Fischer Wooley Chelios/Lilja/Lebda Plus add Knonwall to that when hes back...... We would have to waive mowers or trade him or just get rid of the guy. he makes everything so complicated. Let me know what you think

Im sure its nothin to worry about.

completely agree

Easy boy no need for the flamboyent sarcasm just saying some people are different and dont feel comfortable leaving their country when they can just make a great living there doing the same thing.

leave your home country and everyone you know

i think you just know how to push the right buttons on people

lol yeah feel free to start up a new one with more guys. these were just a quick few that I see the most in arguements. not necessarily always pointless. barnesy has some good points. although the rest........

well its just for laughs. if anyone takes it personally then im sure they will speak up. otherwise no need to lock it. until then vote away

And over that entire span he managed a point per game. I would take an inconsistent player who could manage a point per game over an entire season over a consistent one who averaged .5 or maybe even .75 points per game, depending on physical and defensive abilities. oh i think i have to disagree with you on that one. at least when theyre consistent you can count on them night in and night out. plus consistency is usually always linked to attitude.

Yeah thats exactly what i was thinkin. PLus add our excess of centerman and our defence struggling i think its very possible. depends on if holland and/or babcock wants to shake things up. cause that would definately do it. Again its just a theory.

Oh no Im not saying Lang has done bad hes definately putting up points. But Center is where we are by far the strongest and by what I said above I think its worth it for salei and something. We could really use a strong reliable defenceman who can log more minutes. We have the offencive dmen covered.

If he has such great leadership qualities, why did the Wild name him Captain and then trade him. You don't just trade your C unless things aren't working out. It wasn't because he was going to be asking for too much money! If you are with Minnesota and things aren't working out, then you have some serious concerens. When was Delmore named captain of anything? Your argument makes no sense. If you want to know the reason why Brown was expendable, it's because they already had Alex Henry and Willie Mitchell back there. If we had ONE mean D-Man with size, I'd be somewhat happy, we have none. just wonderin Barnes why you dont think Fischer has size and toughness? Ok after his ACL recovery he was not as effective as all hoped nor as physical. but have u ever recovered from a torn ACL? Im amazed he playewd that well. forget how he played in the last year of the nhl and look he played in the lockout. the most recent hockey for him. he dominated in the two world championships and was on the top line for the chzechs for the one championship....when they won gold....and he physially dominated huge. im not attacking your opinion or anything just lookin for your input. i do think we need one more physical D-man but we do have one in fischer.
