Booster313 138 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 It's not a new idea by any means but I am still from the camp that would like to see Fedorov finish his career as a Wing. On the goalie front next year I'd like to see Ozzie, Bryz, or Howard performance permitting. Of course if Dom can finsh this year in form and he wants to give it a go next year I am ok with that too.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Ryder, Rolston, and Avery. Dan Boyle or Adam Foote on D. Kolzig or Bryz for G. RFA offers would most likely be Phaneuf and Richards. Any of those guys would be good . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grittzkey 1 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 I wouldnt object to many on the list. but there are a good chunk on that list that will end up like Freisen,O'Neil,Peca,Sopel all solid players who either didnt even get a try out. or were signed after a try out to a less than lucrative contract.. id wait for those guys. and i think some of the older guys could end up that way..

Skiing - Puck 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 I would love John-Michael Liles, he is a great offensive defenceman. I would also love Chris Gratton he is good with his fist, but also can put up some decent numbers offencively. I know many of you will disagree with me on this one but I would like Sean Avery back in the winged wheel, There is something to be said for having an agitator like that in your line-up. I also would like Ilya Bryzgalov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 McGratton, Ryder, Avery, Fed, Rolston, Legwand, Foote, or Blake. I'd like to have any of them in a wings uni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,198 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Hasek will (or at least should) move on after this season, opening up a spot for Howard -- and thus, an Ozzie-Howard tandem. Howard is being groomed for the #1 role, so, barring a complete meltdown between the pipes on the part of both Ozzie and Howard next season, we won't be seeing an outside goalie (e.g. Bryzgalov) joining the ranks. Especially when this team's biggest holes are in the top 6 and top 4. It's becoming more and more obvious -- win or lose -- how badly this team needs a big-name scoring winger and a smart, safe, big-bodied top-4 guy on the blue line. I'd say looking at the team right now, the former hole is bigger than the latter. If management doesn't plug it at the trade deadline and Hank doesn't ask for too much, I'd say give Hossa a call. Maybe send him some chocolate too. And a box of puppies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Offsides 21 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 I'm sorry. I want Fedorov back. My plan to lure him back with a cookie on a string will be put into action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grittzkey 1 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Federov would be awesome to have back, he is a version of his former self but that is still a great thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mudvayneowns91 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) I don't know why only two people have said Phaneuf. I realize we'd have to give up some sort of royalties since he's a rfa. Still though.... That guy is a force on defense. I'd rather have him than any other D guy on there. Edited November 26, 2007 by Mudvayneowns91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Forwards - Gratton, Holik Defencemen - Foote, Blake Wouldnt mind seeing Naslund/Sundin coming for a cheap price in hopes of a cup. yuck, I couldn't think of 4 more washed up old guys... I am a strong believer in youth - the younger the better. Do you think the Wings should send an offer to Phaneuf? He would be a nice replacement for Lidstrom once he moves on. Out of the forwards, Legwand may be a nice addition. Edit - oh and i have been really impressed with Daymond Langkow. The Flames will have to part with him or Phaneuf - i'd take either. Pascal Leclaire might be worth taking a look at - I think he could be a long term solution to goaltending in Detroit. Howard has not impressed thus far...

SpiritFan 37 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Step 1: Make an offer for Kari Lehtonen. Atlanta wouldn't match (they have Pavelec). Step 2: Get SOMEONE on his ass IMMEDIATELY to leave the Twinkies alone & get his ass in shape! SOMEONE will be able to stay on this kid & keep him going in the right direction (he's only 24 - he CAN be taught yet!) Step 3: Have a nice day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishtemper14+25 11 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 i want feds back, but i would like to make an offer to phaneuf, imagine that blue line if lids and cheli come back...and of course fisher rejoins the team and grgs makes the team out of camp all of those unlikely, i dont see us making any big moves unless we lose big players...if ozzie doesnt re-sign(which he should) than we'll need a goalie otherwise i see a ozzie-howard tandum, i do want to have a consistant second line scorer such as feds just so we can keep our top line next yr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grind_Lines_#1_Fan 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 Our Guys UFA: Nicklas Lidstrom-give him 2 more years at $12/y Kris Draper-He signed Dominik Hasek-Even if he still wants to play next year don't bring him back Chris Chelios-If he wants to play he'll be back here Andreas Lilja-I say its 50/50 but they should bring him back Chris Osgood-depends Daniel Cleary-give him 2+years Dallas Drake-probably retire RFA: Igor Grigorenko-he aint coming back so whatever Valtteri Filppula, Jimmy Howard, Kyle Quincey, Jonathan Ericsson-lock them up long term (3+) while they are relatively cheap Logan Koopmans-WHO? Ryan Oulahen-struggling in minors I believe Other Teams: Sergei Fedorov-He owes us fans something for leaving like that and played for Babcock Todd Fedoruk-one word ENFORCER Bryan Smolinski-From Michigan, probably a little pricy though Sean Avery-likeable tough guy that never wanted to leave Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted November 26, 2007 I would be fine with losing Lilja, Kopecky, or draft picks and money for the following, ignoring whether or not gaining these players is possible: Hossa Rolston Langkow Ryder Prospal Sundin mats sundin Dion Phaneuf Any of those would bolster our blue line, or give us offense.

Get it right. If we could get Dion, i would love it, but if we are going after a RFA, go for Ovechkin. We got young talent to replace Lids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
