kindlwillbegreat 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 As none of them are natural scorers, I don't see why this would be so great. zetterberg will be a 40 goal scorer soon enough , datsyuk and kozlov can get 25 + , there nice goal scorers enough lol ........but no i dont want kozlov back we need some bigger forwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Would Shanahan coming back throw a wrench in the locker room though? I mean, I don't have any inside information, but I haven't heard of any ego or behavior problems with the Wings. Everyone seems to get along really well and click. Is Shanahan going to come back and expect to be queen of the ball? If so, no thanks, though we miss his slap shot. I say let's keep our eyes on the future and not get too nostalgic. I highly, highly doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albeh 1 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 zetterberg will be a 40 goal scorer soon enough , datsyuk and kozlov can get 25 + , there nice goal scorers enough lol ........but no i dont want kozlov back we need some bigger forwards Kozzie made 2.04M last year and had about 80 points. 2.5 might just land him. That's Eighty points. Assuming we could get either Bertuzzi or Forsberg to fit in addition to Kozlov, which would you prefer? Homer-Zetterberg-Sammy Bertuzzi-Datsyuk-Kozlov Cleary-Draper-Maltby Kopecky-Filpulla-Franzen Grigorienko as our 13th -- or -- Homer-Zetterberg-Forsberg Franzen-Datsyuk-Kozlov Cleary-Draper-Maltby Sammy-Filpula-Kopecky Grigorienko as our 13th. I'm torn. Both Bert and Forsberg are health risks in one way or another. All things being equal, I think I'd rather Forsberg's option b/c I would hate to see Franzen's icetime suffer too much. Forsberg's obligatory 30 games out of the lineup would leave lots of room for Grigorienko to cut his teeth too, and give the others alot of ramp-up time. Kozzie has 300+ goals in his career now and he has (if my memory is not total cheese) been a clutch playoff scorer in the past. He at least seems like a good safe addition that'd fit and would be a fan favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastian 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 I would be so depressed if Bert left cuz i so love him and don't want him to leave, i dont understand why Holland wont give him a longer contract like the one he wants, it seems like the money is perfect that he is offering except for the length.

Look at Bertuzzi's stats last year. Take a good, hard look at the GP category and you may understand why Holland isn't willing to invest long-term. I want Bertuzzi back too, but don't pretend like there's no risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiantRobot 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 id really like to see nylander join So would I, but he isnt coming any cheaper than 3.5-5 million, and I think that means he isnt coming. I dont see forsberg coming much cheaper than that either...although id take him in a heartbeat provided he can still physically play. Grigorenko has a 2-way contract: If he doesnt make the club out of the gate, he has an option to return to russia after a few weeks in the AHL, so I'd look for him to be playing in Detroit unless he just cant cut it. I still say Kozlov, and no, Im not one of these "Bring back (Insert former wing player here)" guys. He has been a performer for the past few years, and he would fit well with Datsyuk. He would come at a decent price too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want Bertuzzi back too, but don't pretend like there's no risk. Ya i understand there is a big risk in it but, you and i both know that the rest he is having now and by the time practice comes and goes and preseason is over he will most likely be at about 80-90 percent and to me thats a good Bert, because this year or well the games he played this year he was very very careful not to put his body on the line and when he did the guys he hit flew and by flew i mean damn did he hit them. And when they tried to hit Bert i loved it when they were the ones to fall to the ground and Bert just looked at them like wtf hit me a fly or something.

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Zubrus to the wings. 2.1 million a year for 3 years. Or maybe O'neil?? He is available according to the Hockey News. I'd consider him. Comrie? Holmqvist? Handzus to complete our collection of players traded for or used to trade for Calder? Really it looks like the wings are going to just settle on Hasek and Bert and pray they have enough money to tie up all the loose ends throughout the year. I would definately look at Zubris...

Zion 93 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 I'll take Zubrus. I hope Bert isn't greedy and takes Boston's offer, because we need him, Zubrus and Dom. That would be nice. Quincey and Lilja are going to have to do on defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) I would take Zubrus or Comrie. Remember the wings are not looking for a big name 40-50 goal scorer. They have 2 guys that can do that already and have a couple of young guys who the team has high hopes for. Grigs is hopefully going to be wearing the winged wheel, Flip will be a year more experienced and better. The mule should be a damn good 3rd line player. I would really like to see the Mule, Flip, and Samuelson on a line together. Edited July 2, 2007 by Opie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Haha priceless. Bert and/or Guerin with carefully crafted contracts would be nice. Especially both. I really dont get why people are so hung up on Kozlov. Anyone on this board could probably put up big points playing with Kovalchuk and Hossa. What? I'll take Koz over Guerin any day.
