Mighty Wings 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 http://miamiherald.typepad.com/flapanthers...e_of_the_p.html The big news in Pantherland is that Todd Bertuzzi won't play tonight, and probably won't play Saturday either. That means he will not have returned to play in a game after his back surgery before Tuesday's 3 p.m. EST trading deadline. I guess those who hated the idea can breathe a sigh of relief.

T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 I believe this will just make his price go down, and some team can take a relatively low risk gamble.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 This isnt news. Anyways, fine then. Trade Williams for Bertuzzi and nothing will be lost. If Bert cant play, then Sammy will take Willy's spot by the playoffs. Thats a win-win situation IMO. We dont have to pay out 1.6M to Willy next season and if Bert is really that bad, we can let him walk. IMO, Kenny should really take a risk with Bert if we can get it done using Willy alone.

And Bertuzzi WILL eventually come back. In the mean time, bring up Hussey who was bomb in his few games and let Hudler and Flip play more. Then once Bert and Sammy come back, the team looks pretty good. Hank - Dats - Homer Sammy - Lang - Bert Cleary - Flip - Hudler Malts - Drapes - Franzen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rice 42 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 Does any remaining player on list make the Wings better? There's not one on there that I think will. You don't think a second line of Cleary-Lang-Guerin is better than Cleary-Lang-Williams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 What if Bertuzzi doesnt even come "back" at all? Or if he plays 1 or 2 games, and calls it a season? Even if the Wings just gave up Williams to get him, its still a major loss in the sense they didnt add anybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) You make a good point, Jeff! And no it wouldn't really be a loss. So I was reading that the fan 590 or is it 950? Said that Guerin is most likely coming to Detroit and soon. Edited February 23, 2007 by hockeycrazy3033 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if the Wings just gave up Williams to get him, its still a major loss in the sense they didnt add anybody. you forgot about Sammy. Sammy would replace Williams. Edit: And Willy straight up for Bert would have no bearing on whether or not they could acquire Guerin. Its more of a last ditch effort to acquire somebody. Id rather trad Willy for the "chance" of having Bert than do nothing at all. I still say that Ryan Malone would be a great pick up( 28 and not a renter) Why would the playoff-bound pens trade Malone? They may have wanted to trade him earlier in his career, but hes doing just fine right now and a big, fairly physical body for the 2nd line. Theirs, not ours.

BigTex 1 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 Willy is a third line player. No matter what happens, if he's still on our team when the smoke clears then that's where I want to see him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zion 93 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 You mean 4th line, right? Our 3rd/checking line of Franzen, Draper and Maltby has been pretty solid this year. I wouldn't mess with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
