I don't care about his pants or attire in general. He needs to be in AAA though or traded. He likely wouldn't clear waivers, so I'd say traded. He has little value and hasn't blossomed.

His pants are lazy and they suck ....

He looks like a tall guy who should add 15lbs of muscle, take a Scott Stevens taught class on proper body checking technique and for god's sake, stop tilting his helmet over to one side. I swear it's like he's trying to look through the ear hole with his left eye.

Anyway, i'm pretty much ready to bench any of the bottom tier guys for Downey or Mac.

Last year, with Drake and Downey in the lineup most of the time, we seemed to be more well-rounded and played a better overall game. That's just my opinion.

Of course Downey doesn't bring alot to the table skill wise, but just seeing him run over a couple of people and stand up and fight tough guys on other teams, seems like the rest of the team fed off of that.

IMO, Kopecky ain't bringing a whole lot of anything the Wings don't already have in spades except height.

Seriously, what does Kopecky bring? He ain't much of a hitter. He would not be called upon to take faceoffs regularly. He doesn't get PP work. He doesn't get PK work. He's basically a big, awkward guy out there that can skate pretty well.

I'd bench his ass for Downey or Mac in 2 seconds at least the skill set those guys bring to the table are something the Wings can actually use.

[Z and D for the C 712]

I'm 100% under the belief that Kopecky is kept as a wing because it increases whatever chance we have of keeping Hossa significantly. It's worth it in my book.

[cnot19 191]

Yea Kopecky just sucks but he did help us lure in Hossa i guess. Either him or Meech should be waived or traded for a nother foward.

I vote Leino or Helm for Kopecky

Apparently Leino hasn't been playing very well in GR. Perhaps he thinks his chances of making the Red Wings is decreasing as the season goes on, less to play for.

hed probably be an upgrade form kopecky

[SouthernWingsFan 854]

I don't share in the utter Kopecky hate that many display on here, but I'm all for a shakeup in getting Helm or Downey some more PT if it can get him to improve his play.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

leino's almost a point per game. can't be playing that bad.

Only because he started so strong. He's done jack in his last 15 games, and I think only 1 assist in his last 7 or 8.

Goal and an assist last night, he had a hip injury and changed to a more floaty style of play. Last night he went back to driving to the net and had success.

Mac offers less than Kopecky, Mac is not the skater / hitter / fighter that he once was. He was a proud warrior during our 3 prior cups to last season. There are going to have to be moves made in order to have player movement, apparently Meech didn't gather enough interest this morning. Lebda should be the one to go, hes not getting any better and at least Meech can play forward or defenseman. Things may be in the works people.... Im not a Kopecky fan either, he should be using his size moreso than he does, same goes for Lilja.

Hossa will not be retained unless Zetterberg just asks for a ridiculous amount. With the economy the way it is, teams will have to start cutting back

This always happens with him. whenever their is a thread about him he suddenly plays better. same thing happened last year before he got hurt.........hmmmm

I wonder if he and Lebda were sharing a laptop when this was posted ???

I honestly hate you and wish you weren't a Wing fan.

GO WINGS!!!

No point, will be just as ineffective with little ice time. Wait until the playoffs when he can have more time, then let him loose! Give him minutes in GR for the season.

[Guest mindfly]

Few minutes in NHL > Lots of minutes in AHL... it's just too big difference in tempo, skillz etc.
