Heaton 1 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 If it's true then oh well, they most likely overpaid anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barnes52 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Not surprising considering how soft their defense was last night against Detroit. They could use a crease clearer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 I've been pushing for Witt even before Fischer went down. But you're probably right Heaton, I imagine they overpaid. Washington is going to want a good deal for a leader like Brendan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Wings have some assets to throw around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 Would you trade Hudler or Williams for Witt and a pick? The Wings have some assets to throw around I am one of few who holds Jason Williams in high regard. When he's not playing the point on the PP, he's not a problem, and the price is certainly right. And sadly, he's quite easily the most physical player in out top six (when he is in the top six that is). I have, however, always advocated the trading of Hudler. The guy has skills for sure, but what can he really bring to this team in the future that we don't already have? Anyways, I think Witt might be a little too high profile for Ken Holland right now. He stated in an interview a little while ago here in Canada that he was probably going to go after a seventh defenceman. I think he said something like "you can never have enough defencemen".

NAVYWING 2 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 I would hold on to Hudler. Jason Williams is about as effective as Maltby... not much. Hudler has first-line forward talent, and if the right boot fits up his ass, he will really turn heads when he gets going. Williams doesn't deserve any more than checking line minutes. I'd trade Williams just for a bag of pucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd trade Williams just for a bag of pucks. Jason Williams is sixth on this team in scoring, right behind Lang, and provides a solid physical presence, all the while making league minimum. Hudler, however, has attitude problems, and even if he does reach his hyped potential (I'm not saying he won't) will not fill a need this team has right now.

ChelisChick 174 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 The Tennessean has been printing a few speculations on Witt and Keith Carney. Both their names have been tossed around. I'm really curious to see which way they decide to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blood On The Ice 15 Report post Posted February 12, 2006 Eklund, have any of his rumors ever come true. BS site as far as im concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatcat6 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2006 Ture or not true, I don't think we need Witt. For one thing, Witt is getting old, and we someone who's young. Lebda's been really good this year, and Kyle Quincey will most likely make the team next year. I'd say we just ride this year out with the defenseman that we have, and do what's nessicarry for our team this upcoming offseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
