edit: Maybe he'll end up in Chicago for $6M, s*** they seem to have been given double the cap space of everyone else, so why not?

I can see the press conference now.....

Reporter: "Mr. Tallon. While your moves this offseason have brought a significant improvement to the team, how will this affect the salary cap situation going into next season?"

Tallon: "We have a salary cap?!? Oh s***!!!"

"but the Leafs are still in on him.." is the best part. I'm pretty sure they arent, would be why he's not a Leaf anymore. As far as him coming to Detroit goes, no thanks, keep the cancer at a distance.

Yeah I'm sure Sundin was outta shape (or at least not in game shape) when he signed on with the Canucks...This time around he'll be better off if he attends training camp in September.

For the $$ Holland set aside for Hudler - I'd take Sundin; he still has a few years left in him...Just think how much better he'd make that 2nd line by centering the Mule.

I would rather have Hudler center the second line than Sundin. Sundin 5 years ago, sure. Sundin now? No thank you.

As I have been saying for a long time now, Hudler centering Franzen and maybe Cleary would be SICK. The opposing team would be just as concerned about him and Cleary as they would about Franzen offensively, and the line is capable of whatever kind of offensive system you want. Replacing Hudler with Sundin means weaker playmaking and reduces the line's versatility by reducing the center's playmaking capability as well as putting three players who generally score their goals from below the circles and inside the dots on the same line. That allows the defensemen to put less effort into their defensive scheme because there is a good chance that one defenseman will often be able to protect against two forwards in a zone defense.

Pass. We have enough centers on the team already and Filppula has spent enough time developing on the third line. This season is a chance for Fil to prove he can center the second line and produce.

I want a gritty, third or fourth line forward (or two) that can kill penalties.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom

Franzen-Filppula-Cleary

Abdelkader-Helm-Leino

Betts-Draper-Grier

Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Kronwall-Stuart

Lilja-Ericsson

Lebda

Osgood-Howard

Betts provides the penalty killing while Grier provides the grit.
