OVERPAID?? A 2ND AND A 4TH IS DECENT

Two picks seems a bit steep. I am happy that we got Stuart because Christ knows we needed someone like him but TWO picks. We could have held onto that 4th rounder. Oh well, whats done is done. Welcome to Detroit city Bradley Stuart.

Stuart!!! thats isnt SO bad but It could be better We Needed scoring not Defense

I agree but disagree too. I would have liked some scoring help but depth on D after what has happened recently and last playoffs is still good. And hes a tough guy.

Splitting up the euro-twins might help enough.

I honestly don't care what the Wings did in the past.

This current team has major holes that seem to have gone unplugged today. That's what irks me.

Major holes that will be filled with people returning from injury.......Sure we could have used a goal scorer, but we shouldnt have overpaid and we didnt

Okay okay...this makes me feel better. Size and Grit on the back end for next to nothing. Not bad, not bad.

Wouldnt have minded a Stoll/Fedorov/Fedotenko addition though, after we lost out on all the big fish.

Yea agreed Does anybody know if he will be able to play tonight?

You know what the best part about this is????

Holland stated in the summer that he wouldnt sign a Dman to a contract that was more than a year long. Brad Stuart signed a contract with LA that was how long? One year. For how much? 3.5M.

In short, Detroit couldve had Stuart in the off-season, and how much would it have cost them? Nothing.

Nice job on making yourself pay out TWO picks for something you couldve had 6 months ago Kenny. Pat yourself on the back with that one..

Epic fail. Stuart solves zero problems.

It solves two major problems.

1. It relegates Lebda to the bench

2. It keeps Sammy off the point on the PP

And Fletcher couldn't do anything. The Leafs will continue struggle if they can't change up that team.

And I'm happy with depth on D now, when healthy.

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Kronwall-Stuart (maybe that pairing?)

Lebda-Cheli

Lilja

Meech

Quincey

Don't get me wrong, cause I would've been more happy seeing a forward picked up and Sammys ass dropped way, way down the forward chart.

But Brad Stuart is a really nice d-man. Quick scouting report:

ASSETS: Is a very gifted skater and makes excellent outlet passes. Has a heavy shot that can be very effective on the power play.

FLAWS: Is prone to mistakes in pressure situations, which has led him into the coach's doghouse in the past. Doesn't use his size effectively enough.

CAREER POTENTIAL: Top four defenseman.
