Hey Guys... new user... traveling in Australia and made time today to watch/listen to the game online.

Just wanted to bring up my favourite thing and one of the small bright spots in the Wings play this season. With the injuries and loss of players to free agency, etc. the Wings have had to rely on some role players to plug the holes. I remember watching the Wings back in the glory days in 96-98 when they took a penalty and you didn't even worry. It was because we had the best role players in the league killing penalties for us. Does anyone feel like we're getting back to that state this year with new guys like Eaves, Miller, Helm even, and Draper and Maltby still around to show them how it's done?

I worry that once everyone is healthy and we make the playoffs (I know they'll be there), the "skilled players" will replace the role players and the penalty kill will suffer like it did last year. Shouldn't the team be a first and second line of skilled guys and a third and fourth of role players?

I fail to see the point in having a Jason Williams playing on our 3rd or 4th line and there won't be room for him on the top two. Should he not be considered in trades the same as Leino?
