Well as upset as I am about not having any big names come here yet....I do agree with Holland that it might not be worth giving up a lot for a player that might not resign with the Wings. Honestly, I really wonder if the tough, gritty guys we need might need to just be second-tier guys.....I'd love a nice big scoring winger, but as we've mentioned the price is really high. The team has done well so far this year with the personnel we have, but that's always the case, so we need something extra for the playoffs. I hope Holland can get something done that will address our needs, but if it means giving up prospects and many high draft picks....I'd rather pass (although our scouts are amazing at projecting talent from later rounds, I'd like to be able to keep some of the higher picks). That's just my opinion though......
On a side note, I'd love to see LaPointe back and even Bertuzzi if the price isn't too high. I think he'd be worth the risk......
