robb himself 143 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 I was just thinking that PJ would be a great fit on the Wings. He only made 1.8 mill last season and could be signed for roughly the same amount a year for 2 or 3 years, and could play almost anywhere in the line up if needed. He would especially be affordable if we lose Huds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrazyGangsta 79 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 To be honest with you I wouldn't mind signing him but I would much rather keep the $$$ and have Abby play instead of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb himself 143 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 yeah, but if Huds is heading out of town (which is looking likely) I think we could sign PJ and also have Abby in the line up Hank, Dats, Homer Mule, Filly, Leino Maltby, Draper, Cleary Abby,Helm, Axelsson just an idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishtemper14+25 11 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 yea sign him to a 3 year deal and he can break his brother into the nhl after next year....2 years of Axelsson-Helm-Axelsson would be a kickass line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 "Only 1,8 mill". Way too much for Axelsson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lamothe 5 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 PJ Axelsson's brother is Anton Axelsson, another draft choice by the Wings a few years back. However, if I remember right, he was not offered a contract. PJ and Anton have no relation to Dick Axelsson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishtemper14+25 11 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 damn i look stupid now, thats right anton is pj's brother.... he was looking like he was going to be a solid 3rd/4th liner, lately i haven't heard much on him whatever the point I was trying to get across is that he would do well over here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Systemfel 33 Report post Posted July 5, 2009 Sure, would be a nice fit. He wouldn't cost $1.8 million, though. More like $800k, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
