Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 My choices are the following (in order): 1) Shawn Burr 2) Kelly "Dangle" Buchberger 3) All of the above My old hockey coach was close with Shawn Burr and created a drill and named it after him that I will forever hate. For a two year period whenever I heard Shawn Burr's name it meant pain, nausea, and exhaustion, until one day Coach told us that Mr. Burr would be joining us for a couple practices to help us get prepared for the playoffs. There was about a two week period where Burr would show up to every practice, lace em up, and take to the ice with our team. Especially exciting was the fact that Burr was assigned to be on my line for when we practiced plays. We had good chemistry, until he ripped a shot from the top of the circle and everyone dove out of the way. Anyway, sucks to hear that Franzen is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 I believe the only trading we see from Kenny comes at the deadline. Sign a depth player, and go from there. I have trouble believing Franzen will be back this season though. Why? The only time you really see people stay out the whole season is if it's a very severe ACL tear and the post-op isn't as positive as expected (or physio takes much longer than expected) or when more than one ligament in the knee is torn (some combination of ACL, MCL, LCL and PCL).

Guest Crymson Report post Posted October 9, 2009 since franzen is out who would you guys trade for? maybe some like alexander frolov or nathan horton? Any other suggestions? To trade for a quality player, one needs to TRADE someone to the other team. In order to land a high-quality player, the team would need to make moves that would open holes elsewhere. Also, Franzen WILL return, and the team would be over the cap when that happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forsberg-Zetterberg-Cleary Bertuzzi-Filppula-Datsyuk Helm-Williams-Leino Abdelkader-Draper-Meech Lidstrom-Ericsson Stuart-Kronwall Ralalski-Kindl Scratches - Maltby, Holmstrom, Lebda How about these lines? Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Lidstrom Maybe eventually you'll stop being a dumbass and concede that Holmstrom is still a good player and CERTAINLY not worthy of being scratched.... and MOST CERTAINLY not scratched in favor of Derek Meech, yeesh. I get the feeling you started with this whole Holmstrom bashing thing in a very public manner, and now you feel it necessary to engage in incredible hyperbole in order to try to convince others and so protect whatever image you feel you have.

interminded 1 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Trade ? Why trade ? He'll be back come playoff time. That is the important thing. Granted, it gets even harder now to win the division, but I really don't care about that honestly. As long as everyone is healthy when the playoffs start ...

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 I could see Forsberg asking for 2.5 plus Forsberg isn't worth 2.5 plus. I wouldn't even give 1 plu for him. I don't even know what a plu is, but I'm sure Forsberg isn't worth one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 This team has depth for a reason. They arent going to go out and make a drastic trade right off the bat. They will let this go for a bit and see where the team and Franzen are in a couple of months. If they think he is going to come back they wont make a deal, if he is in fact done for the year then it will be time to make a move. We are still good enough to win this division and conference but we need some guys to step up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 Franzen being for that amount of time is going to hurt. Still have faith though. Stop "working Eaves in" and give him some time. Bring Abdelkader back up. How about these lines? Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Holmstrom Holmstrom - Lidstrom The TIGHTEST.
