Who would you want in our top six?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I'm interseted to see who everyone on here thinks should/could be aquired as a top six player for us? I would like to see Afinoganov or (though near impossible without Stuart or Fil) Rene Bourque would be awesome too! I'm just not sure who is really out there in our price range wecould afford?

Realistically I want Holland to do what he can to get Franzen and Lilja into the lineup and keep our future draft picks and prospects where they are for now.

This, and that is all he really has the wiggle room to do.

-because Franzen and Lilja are what will solve our problem... :blink:

I'm just saying I think something "Big" may be needed here, not that Lilja and Mule aren't huge because they are!

Our price range is they can come here if they pay us. Seriously, there's a "Wings gunning for a top 6 at the deadline" rumor just about every year, and it never happens.

I think something big may be needed here also, but I'm more willing to invest the future over the summer or next year when hopefully the team is a little more stacked to make a Cup run.

Well I have a few dream players haha.......not sure if any of them are very realistic.

Horton, Lucic, Booth, Carter, Frolov, Clowe, Wheeler..........Maybe none of them are realistic....but let me dream.

DOUGHTY IN 2011!!!

Kovalchuk obviously. Even if it takes putting Cleary or Rafalski on waivers. You don't pass up a chance at the best goal scorer in the league because of "role players".

Zetterberg, Hull and Kovalchuk are pretty much the only players in the league that have a known chemistry with Datsyuk.

That twelve year deal for Franzen currently looks bats*** crazy.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom

Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi

Oh, wait... we already have everyone! Time to get that 3rd line center...

I want a healthy, at least 80% Franzen - that's it...

I also don't think we need a 3rd line center, Williams was a center first already and once he gets more conditioning back from the injury, I'm sure he'll be moved back there...

I think with everyone healthy, if Lils is good to go and Kronwall doesn't have any setbacks, we're set...

Franzen-Zetterberg-Holmstrom

Filppula-Datsyuk-Bertuzzi

Miller-Williams-Cleary

Draper-Helm-Eaves

Maltby

May

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Stuart-Kronwall

Ericsson-Lilja

Meech

Howard

Osgood

looks pretty damn good to me

Williams isn't really a 3rd liner type and he's been playing wing all the season. We could get rid of Williams, May and Lebda or Meech and get a center with about 1M cap hit.

you're right, because he didn't play a 3rd/4th line center role his entire first go around here, or center his entire junior career growing up...

oh wait...
