Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) I don't think we need top 6 forward: Filpulla Datsyuk Holmstrom Hudler Zetterberg Cleary is good enough. When Maltby is back, we have nice 3rd line: Maltby Franzen Samuelsson Our 4 line is: Downey Draper Drake plus Kopecky, Ellis, Hartigan Defense: Lidstrom Rafalski Kronwall Lilja Chelios Lebda Meech Goalies: Dom and Ozzie is great tandem. So I really hope Holland does not trade anyone from our current roster, except for Drake or Meech. What about Kasparaitis..I know he's old, but he's physical, blocks shots, can fight, I heard he's quite in shape..maybe worth a try? btw just imagine we have Sundin, where would you put him? He would only take ice-time from young guys like Huds and Filpulla. Edited January 7, 2008 by Reds4Life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lfd250 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Draper will play with Maltby, Homer will play with hank. Hartigan will be sent back down. This will probably make some People mad, (and it would be giving up the future) But you might see Kopckey and Meech traded for a more seasoned D man. We've been very lucky so far that Kroner and his glass body isn't broke yet. But barring inj we don't need anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmorland 16 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I'd be willing to part with Kopecky and Eliis. I don't see them being anything better than 4th line players. If we can get a top 6 forward, I don't see how that could hurt us, especially if someone goes down (like our defense did last year in the playoffs). thoughts?

JayUp88 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Just don't trade away Flip and Yuri. They are good now and will be even better. The last thing we need to do is trade away good long term players for some 2 month and leave guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
