    TSN.Ca power ranking

    i noticed that too that they discussed the injuries, but from what the paragraphs talked about was more of what they did on trade deadline day then anything.. atleast to me. but i dont follow them just neat to look to see where we supposedly "rank" in the league. oh well .. im think its more what they did on trade deadline day then anything.

    Holland.

    i think he might be a pinch overrated but i still think hes one of the best.. him and NIll make a great duo as a asst GM and GM so that doesnt hurt. but the forbes things is really stupid, they know nothign about hockey and or sports to be doing anythign with that atricle.. the hockey news does a better job and was surprised at him being number one actually. but i mean you have to give hijm a hand for the bert deal with the mid prospect and 2 conditional picks... i mean s*** thrasers gave up a ton for a almost done tkacuk (sp), and nashville did too.. but i think we got the steal of the trade deadling with calder and bert thanx to mr. holland. that alll i have to say ha

    Igor Grigorenko

    he was born in 1983 and has been at the top of the prospect list since i think hank and dats were there if not before but i know around that time. heres a linnk to his profile on red wings central http://www.redwingscentral.com/prospects/grigorenko.html he seems hell be a good player once he gets over and its not looking like it wil be soon since the russians dont have a transfer agreement with the NHL yet so its a year by year thing, but i heard they wi; be bringing him over.. but i could be wrong

    Some tuff calls for Babs ahead

    we also have to remember that kopecky might be back too. i havent heard anyword on him being out res of year liek they were thining but still thats a what a 3rd injured player that returns along with bert and sammy?! homer/ hank/ dats sammy/ lang/ bert malts/draps/franzen calder/ flip/ cleary or even flip sammy and calder.. but this is going to be fun with line when everone gets back to healthy trying to find the right combination to have decent grit or size and scoring on the each line but im excited to see how we are with bert heathy and hopefully back to his old self!!!

    Roenick?

    roenick would be useless here. and i woudlnt even give up williams for him.. id maybe give up a last round draft choice.. but thats pushing it.. hes lost it and runningon fumes right now.. has been for the past what -24 years now.. hes done.. and why the hell is everyone wanting to trade lang. ya he migh tbe over paid but he was signed when they were handing out outrageous price contracts. he fits this tema well and one of our best playoff performers.. keep him.

    Holland "eyeing" four players

    redlight goes on is right... we need someone who is gritty and hungry.. with forsberg hell probably eb hurt 90% of the time and is pretty much at the end of the line. get me guerin or bert and il be happy
  8. metalwinger_13

    ok, besides...

    we do need someone that has more of a grit player along with a scoring player. go for fedoruk or mayers.. but i say go for bertuzzi and guerin cause theyd come cheap and one of the stated players above and i think wed be good
  9. metalwinger_13

    Holland "eyeing" four players

    ya .. but i dont think forsberg right now will help this team very much.. if he does its just taking pressure off dats and zett and maybe llanger and cleary. but other then that i dont see how hell help goal scoring or anything.. to me hes a more mature zetterberg whose maybe a lil tougher on skates, and can check a bit more but i dont think forsberg is what we need
  10. metalwinger_13

    ok, besides...

    i think hudler and williams are gone.. but in a way i hope hudler stay cause of his output in limited time.. but were also getting kopecky back in march sometime if not sooner. so i say atleast williams will be gone along with maybe hudler, and or draft picks, and a few prospects. but i really hope we dont get forsberg
  11. metalwinger_13

    Jason Blake on the market?

    exactly.. we need someone with size who can score and play gritty .. i think we have enough smaller wingers.. specially with hudler!
  12. metalwinger_13

    Holland "eyeing" four players

    maybe but i think were lookign for gritnot another guy bout the size of hudelr who skates better and a better touch round the net. but bert will come cheaper and im sure more refreshed then forsberg or anyone and wil have that extra energy to drive this club and maybe go after guerin depending on what they want for him.. stick to guerin and bert and see who is cheaper to get
  13. metalwinger_13

    Holland "eyeing" four players

    i dont consider forsberg a power forward. he can pass good and is good on his skates.. but bertuzzi i think would fit a lot better and run ya cheaper in the long run. wed have to give up a decent amout for forsberg unlike bert. go with bert
  14. metalwinger_13

    Available Wingers

    exactly.. i think the list was made up of who if available theyd liek to see or there own favorite scroing wingers.. nto a good list. btu i could also see how he coudl think frolov cause of where the kings are in te standing to dump salary and start over.. but im hoping for guerin or bertuzzi and say another grit/ role player like fedotenko, gelina, roberts, etc. one who is a lil gritty but also clutch in playoffs.
  15. metalwinger_13

    Peter Forsberg

    ya key word there is .. HEALTHY. somethings forsberg has never been. and if he was i dont think the cost of getting him and having him till the offseason woul dbe worth it. he migth but but i dont think youll see much off a change in scoring honestly. we need someone who focuses on scoring not setting up goals.
  16. metalwinger_13

    Peter Forsberg

    i dont see how his style will help .. he have his style of player in zetterberg only forsberg has the recognition and more strength then zett but i think zett is getting to his level in takin over a game .. or even rising above it! and for what wed have to give up for it .. ti would be worth it.
  17. metalwinger_13

    Peter Forsberg

    i dont think hed fit in .. only angle is the swedish thing.. other then that i dont think it will work.. one hes too injury prone, 2 hes nto a big time scorer more of a datsyuk type player in more assists then goals. and 3 we need scroing and healthy players or atleast ones that are consitantly healthy. not ones that take a year off to rest a foot then come back just for the playoffs. but ya hope wings dont get him
  18. metalwinger_13

    Bertuzzi

    i wasnt to keenon bertuzzi at first but now im for it.. i think hed come cheap cause hes also injured too right now. but i think hed help this team out real well. then add someone like jamal mayers, or ruslan fedotenko or one liek that and i think wed have a very strong playoff team. but forsberg is not a option. put im hoping for big bert and am actually excited to see if we get him.. i swear ill b pissed if we get the chronically hurt forskin
  19. metalwinger_13

    Holland "eyeing" four players

    i dont think forsberg would work.. hes hurt to often, and passes to much to be a scorer. thats our problem right now is that we have too many passers and role players and no one that can light the lamp consistently. plus i think zetterberg is a better, cheaper, younger version of forsberg in a way so why get a player that is injury ridden and a history of it when you coudl get someone liek guerin or bertuzzi who are mor of a goal scorer with grit. i hate these rumors about forsberg. if we got him i think it would be a bad move for what were going for.
  20. metalwinger_13

    Any trade's beeing talked about for the wings

    i dont think forsberg would help this team at all.. hes more of a passer and the rest of the roster is perfectly fine with passing.. we need a guy who can be a sniper and be able to lean on for goals.. plus with how injured forskin has been it would be luck if he survived the season. but guerin and tkachuk, and bert are iffy but slightly better then forskin i think .. everyone is obsessed with a injured ridden player and its kind of funny when we have a cheaper maybe even better vision in zetterberg right now at a even cheaper price and full health. but go for fedotenko, roberts, maybe fedourk to patrol... we need a few more grinders who are clutch perfromers for the playoffs. and maybe add a cheap d-man as extra depth to the d -corps. im thinking cross cause i thought he did a pretty good job last year. just wish he would have gotten time with us in the playoffs. but thats what i think.

    Any trade's beeing talked about for the wings

    just the normal forsberg rumors which i think the wings shouldnt do and now fedotenko to wings. we could get him for a draft pick or two since the lightning are looking to clear some cap space.. so its more liek a salary dump type idea by them.. well see though.. its been pretty quiet on all the teams front from what ive been reading as of right now
  22. metalwinger_13

    Available Wingers

    i say go after fedotenko (sp), maybe todd fedoruk from philly and if some how we can get say doan.. then go for it.. definatly get rid of somehow .. williams, maybe hudler, and picks.. or try and pawn off some average prospects. but i think fedoruk and fedotenkop can each be had for a decent mid level draft pick since ligthing are close to cap and looking to free cap space, and flyers ar ein a rebuilding period and should take all the picks they can
  23. metalwinger_13

    Fedotenko

    plus there both fairly inexpensive and can be had for probably a low prospect or even a draft pick or two. i heard zednik could be had for a draft pick possibly.. but thats when he gets off his injury which i think is a groin injury
  24. metalwinger_13

    Fedotenko

    i think hed be a good pick up.. add him and zednik and i think wed have a deam that will put up a agood fight for the cup.. i think they would.. zednik is fast and can score and fedotenko can hit but also score the clutch playoff goals. he was a big part of the lightning winning it in 2004.

    Wings/Sabres working on a trade?

    i dont see this trade happenign because one kronwall is a guy we need in our d-corps, and two langs salary wont fit into buffalos budget as they are trying to resign pretty all of last years team to new deals and most are good raises. if anything it wil be someone cheap and decent that can play consistantly at the NHL level, like a draper or maltby, or we could even try and pawn hudler on to them for biron.. who knows but i say keep lang as hes a big center that we NEED for playoffs. i dont know why we want to get rid of lang.. well atleast you guys.. if anything get rid of lilja. or we coudl trade williams rights for biron strait up or something.. but keep lang and kronwall
