WingMachine91 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 As much as I love this team, and I wanna say that I am not overreacting to the recent brawl, but to me this team seems very similar to the pre 97 teams. Yes they are good enough to win the cup, obviously, but I cant help but think that the addition of another shanahan type player would really do wonders. Imagine that s*** at the end of this game happening but with somebody like Lucic on the ice. We really could use that type of player. So my question is, assuming we let hossa walk. either this offseason or next when lids contract is up, who can we target? Just trying to get some non playoff talk going to get my mind off of this game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,205 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 I said it the GDT, but I...kind of want Kronwall gone. Which is weird, because I'm generally not one to single out a player like that. But man oh man has this guy been killing me all season long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingMachine91 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 We need to sign 20 Boogaard type players. i am pretty sure you are being sarcastic but i do want to stress that i am not implying that we need a fighter but a power player who fights. we need a getzlaf, a lucic, a late 90 shanny, somebody on that top line. or get somebody to teach franzen to play more physical. It is just frustrating watching out team look like pussys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Re-sign Hudler. Everyone else w/o a contract can gtfo. See if there are any takers for Draper, Maltby, Homer and then scour the 2nd wave of free agency for bargain deals and/or reclamation projects like Cleary that have maybe some more punch to their game. Skating fore/back-check ability is key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
