Learn2LuvIt 245 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Our defense is the least of our problems. We need a solid winger, and a tough one if possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 1,048 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Hatcher must be reading Eklund's work. No chance Holland (or any other sane GM) would want a part of that contract. QFT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 I'm rather indifferent on the subject in general, but why would you go and bring this up? There's so much "correlation != causation" all over this I can't make heads or tails of it. I'm pretty indifferent on the subject also. But here's why I brought it up: The presence of Derian Hatcher on the roster, and a hobbled version of him at that, did not prevent the Wings from advancing to the second round of the playoffs. We can argue about causal relationships, and that's fine. But when people here bring up the notion that you can't afford to have players who aren't super skilled on the roster, points like this are sometimes overlooked.

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Yeah, Hatch does get a bad rap around here, that's true. But it's one thing just to say that, quite another to try and imply anything because we haven't won a playoff round without him, post Bowman. You could just as easily say the same thing about Ray Whitney, you know what I mean? We didn't lean heavily on either in our '04 series.

DreamsofHope 2 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 It just sucks though how the new NHL can affect players. Remember when Hatcher originally coming here had so much promise. Now it seems like risky business... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
