NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 Interesting idea. My main beef is that he has never played a full NHL season, or even gotten close to doing so. I'd take a guy with a bit more durability if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skacore 2 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 mehh I've thought about Hinote too but I just don't see Maltby-Draper-Hinote being effective enough.. I'd rather get some younger legs and someone who can chip in more than him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewBelgium1554 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 Lived in Colorado here for a long time and unfortunately had the privilage of watching him play a bit and I was never really overly impressed. The durability issue is big as previously pointed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take a guy with a bit more durability if possible. I agree, he has had injury problems pretty much his whole NHL career. But, you gotta love the first hockey player drafted out of West Point, Hoohah! I would put him on the 3rd line with Helm and Cleary, that would be a heck of a crash line.

newfy 695 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 if moen is off the table then why not? it couldnt hurt at the worst he provides a little grit and doesnt contribute any points. At least he would provide some grit which is more then maltby or draper do at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) What about finding a guy that plays like this guy: Ya I know, Wings won without someone like that, BUT on a financial point fo view, this kind of play and players sticking up for theor teammates puts a$$ess in the seats (and note the dollar signs, it puts that in the pocket of Ilitch too!) Yay, the crowd didn't like that punch! Geez! Where can we find another guy like this. I was never a huge Lapointe fan, but in my opinion I wish the Wings could've kept him over McCarty. When he left for the bucks, he was never the same! Edited July 9, 2009 by LeftWinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 These guys are rare. I remember that he was pegged to be the next Captain here after YZerman, then Boston came around! Damn you Boston! I think if he stayed in Detroit, he may still be playing! Hell they gave McCarty another shot, how bout Marty? He could be your $500,000 player! (I jest, I Jest!)

ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 Lapointe - DMac - Shanahan - Kocur - that was sweet... Add yourself a number of skilled players and a couple of tough D-men like Ward and Vladdy and you got yourself a Stanley Cup. That team was tough to play against.
