Who would you want in our top six?

[Carman 387]

Yeah but the thing is Flippula is not going to be able to get Versteeg... Flippula is barely worth a 3rd round pick.

[Finnish Wing 110]

Versteeg for Filppula? Prepare for another 3 pages of discussion.

[superstarsingh 23]

No real additions.

Holmstrom- Zetterberg- Datsyuk

Cleary- Filppula- Franzen

or

Bertuzzi- Datsyuk- Holmstrom

Cleary- Zetterberg- Franzen

I miss Hudler.

i really think we just need time. problem is we're running out of it pretty quickly. but with all the injuries everyone has been playing different roles, switching to a defense first team, back to a scoring team ... we need everyone back and some time to get used to playing together again.

Says who?

Filppula is like Zetterberg but on a much smaller scale. He was on pace for his best season so far prior to breaking his wrist. Flip is a solid two way player that would garner much more than a third round pick in a trade.

Just something I thought of while reading this thread..

How about this:

Holmstrom, Stuart, Meech to Chicago for Versteeg, Barker and a third round pick.

Waive May.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Franzen

Cleary-Filppula-Versteeg

Bertuzzi-Draper-Eaves

Miller-Williams-Helm

+Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski

Kronwall-Ericsson

Barker-Lilja

+Lebda (Ugh)

Never going to happen, but I like the idea.

I kinda don't like the idea of seeing Holmstrom in a Blackhawks uniform...

[Guest Lidstromboli]

i want 04 playoffs Keith Primeau

can we time-trade for him please?

[superstarsingh 23]

Is Versteeg an RFA at the end of the year?

[dragonballgtz 273]

Is Versteeg an RFA at the end of the year?

No he re-signed with CHI for a 3 year $9 million contract before this season started.

[superstarsingh 23]

Thanks, I was not sure whether it was last year or this year that he was slated to be an RFA.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Just like how Hossa was not going to happen.

Or that there is no way Leino could be traded?

Or that there is no way Jimmy Howard could be a starter?

Or that there is no way the Wings could miss the playoffs?

Come on, pretty much anything about hockey is relevant.

Good point.

I think having Franzen and Zetterberg in a team is enough for top6 scoring.

Then you would be mistaken because we've had Dastyuk and Zetterberg while Franzen was injured and had very little offense. Have you watched this season at all?

I said having Franzen and Zetterberg. "While Franzen was injured". Yeah, that's my point. Datsyuk is a setup guy, not a scorer. And yes, I've watched every I've been able to watch this season.
