newfy 695 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 From that list I would take any of.. Nick Boynton- depending on what Lilja does Colby Armstrong- provides what Bert should. Some grit and some scoring Artyukhin- Big body that has some hands, hits like a truck and can fight half decent. Better version of Bert I think. Brad Winchester- Fighter that can score 10 or 15 a season Plekanec- Some 2/3rd line scoring depth The of course a fighter. Ben Eager might have to leave chi town because of the salary issues. Boogard simply because he is scary and does intimidate guys. Boll because he isn't an old school enforcer, he can skate, hits a lot and fights like crazy. Or maybe add someone like Downie or Clarkson, they aren't really big heavy weights but they can handle themselves and play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zettie85 106 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Plekanec would be gold on this team but he will have too high of an asking price and I believe he will re-sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems lately that Montreal has just been messed up and maybe he would wanna leave. Detroit is fairly close to Montreal and he seems like a player Kenny would like. I've always thought he was decent, pretty quick, good hands but this year he really got his scoring touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blood On The Ice 15 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Depending on what Hudler does, will probably determine what other moves are made. With the numbers he will make, i believe the likes of Williams and Burt have to go. Then Abdelkader will be brought up for good. Homer WILL be back, regardless of what this team does this year. So you can forget that spot or money free up. And unfortunately, I think Malts will return too. That really does not leave much room for any decent FA pick ups. Williams/Burt = Hudler money. Abdelkader = The small cap increase. The only thing left, might be what Lids gives back = breathing room for the wings next year. I would love to see Plekanec in a Wings Uni, but probably wishful thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfy 695 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Is this implying that Bertuzzi won't be back next season? Yeah well I don't think we need to be loyal to him really, he played a season and a half with us. Why not bring in someone younger who does what he is supposed to like Armstrong or Arty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trapt1307 81 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Any love for Kariya? I wouldn't mind seeing him on the Wings for a year or two. I'm sure he'll sign with a contender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
