kindlwillbegreat 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) im aware that this will never happen and since datsyuk played well this playoff season everyone will call me crazy and stupid lol .........but heres my idea ....... datsyuk to philadelphia for the 2nd overall pick and joni pitkanen (he's rumored to be on the trade block) pitkanen is making only 2 million, hes 23 yrs old had 43 pts 6'3 213 pds here's some info .... Assets Has tremendous size and strength for the blueline position. Oozes offensive potential and displays plenty of grit, toughness and character. Flaws Will need to play up to expectations in a tough sports city (Philadelphia), which could be an intimidating factor throughout his career. Career potential No. 1 defenseman. i think he could learn alot from the master lidstrom .................and this trade to me is more about landing kyle turris , i really love this kid and i wish there was a way to land him here i think hes gonna be unbelievable all around player and he can score alot as well , his role model is steve yzerman so i think it would be a dream come true to be here for him and i think he would just be an unbelievable redwing ...............he would be a yr or 2 away from joining the team , this deal would then allow us to get smyth we'd have turris , a superstar in the making , a yr or 2 away and my roster for this yr would look like .... trade lilja and samuelsson( not likely to be dealth, unfortunetly lol ) for picks smyth (5.5) zetterberg ( 2.65) filppula ( 710k) (he did play alot on the 1st line last yr towards the end) bertuzzi (2.5) forsberg (5) holmstrom (2.250) franzen (940k) hudler (1) grigorenko (858k) cleary (660) draper (2.1) maltby (888k) kopecky (500k) lidstrom (7.6) markov (2.5) kronwall (3) pitkanen (2) lebda (650k) chelios (850k) quincey (510k) hasek (2) ozzie (850k) smyth 5 yrs at 5.5 per bertuzzi and forsberg at 1 yr deals markov 1 or 2 yrs at 2.5 per any thoughts ???????? let the bashing begin ! lol 45.518 Edited June 21, 2007 by kindlwillbegreat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 LOL ah well, im tryin lol ....................i guess im the only one who really wants to see kyle turris here real bad lol I would love to see Kyle Turris here. But is it a real life possibility? No, it isn't. Unless Zetterberg is involved, but there is no player in the league that can score and be a two way force like Zetterberg. No way would I give him up for an unproven rookie. I have to wonder why you would include Forsberg on that list also. He makes Kronwall look like an iron man with how much he's injured. You know, in the pre-salary cap days it would possible, but not now. If the Wings re-sign all the needed players (Hasek, Bertuzzi, Schneider), there is very little to work with at all. Even Smyth (who I'd love to have here by the way) is a stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grind_Lines_#1_Fan 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 First of all, welcome to LGW.com and second of all, why would we do that, plus why would Philly trade their best young d-man and #2 pick overall for Datsyuk and his new 7 year deal. If we were planning on trading Datsyuk, we would have one either done it, by now or never would have gave him such a contract. He is a large piece of our future, as well as Pitkanen is for Philly.

Even Smyth (who I'd love to have here by the way) is a stretch. forsberg is still one of the best players in the game thats why id take a chance on him , and it wouldnt be a longterm deal and as long as the guy would be ready for the post season thats all that would matter , the guy is unbelievable , i think he would love coming here with all the other swedes he's still only 33 ........i really can't see us losing that series against the ducks if he were in the lineup with us , im sure we would of got some big goals against the ducks ...........losing to them still kills me cause i know 2007 should of been our year, ah well Datsyuk for PITKANEN and a SECOND ROUNDER?!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you, by chance, related to Mike Milbury in some way? LOL no .............and you'll see kyle turris will be amazing and in 2-5 yrs youll be like omg that kids so good i wish he was in detroit lol ........plus trading datsyuk would give us cap space to get ryan smyth who im sure would come here in a heartbeat so its basically datsyuk for smyth pitkanen turris i might be the only one but i really like it ..........an extra 800 k and we get ryan smyth and his 30+ goals a season with all his passion and heart for the game and a guy you most definetly know will do whatever it takes to win every post season and a young gritty offensive defensemen to replace schneider who will now be out of our price range thanks tot he timonen signing ........and a guy whos got all the tools and will undoubtedly in my mind be a future star in the nhl First of all, welcome to LGW.com and second of all, why would we do that, plus why would Philly trade their best young d-man and #2 pick overall for Datsyuk and his new 7 year deal. If we were planning on trading Datsyuk, we would have one either done it, by now or never would have gave him such a contract. He is a large piece of our future, as well as Pitkanen is for Philly. well they got timonen so they might trade him now , plus its been rumored for a while now they been wanting to trade pitkanen for some reason ........why wouldnt they want dastyuk for 7 yrs at under 7 million ?? they wanna go for drury or gomez and pay 6-7 but nothing is guaranteed if they go on the free market to get them .............as for us not trading datsyuk i know it wont happen but i would seriously consider it if i was the gm ( save the thank god your not the gm comments lol ) with this new cap you gotta thank ahead and be creative and take chances ..........kyle turris would be here till hes like 27 , if we got smyth we could lock him up for 5 yrs and we'd have pitkanen ........i love dastyuk but if it was possible to add those guys and lose him i wouldnt be crying , we'd have those 3 and we'd still have lidstrom,zetterberg, holmstrom all the younger guys coming up like filppula,kronwall,kindl and free agents we can get Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Trading Datsyuk or Zetterberg would be like trading Lidstrom, bad idea. Just because some one can bring more skill or the same skill at a cheaper cost doesn't mean it is good for the locker room. Datsyuk will inherit the A from either Zetterberg or Chelios, depending on if Chelios or Lidstrom retires first. For clarity so I don't get yelled at this post is written correctly if Lids retires the C will go to Zetterberg and then his A goes to Datsyuk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
