McAwesome 754 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I would absolutely want to have a player like Byfuglien on the Wings, he is probably the best net-presence player in the league after Holmstrom, who better to take his place when he hangs them up. He's huge and hits the way a player his size should, and despite is poor +/- this year, he is pretty good defensively, the Hawks had him play the blue line when they were short at defense. Speaking of RFAs with good net presence, isn't Patric Hornqvist an RFA this year? He would probably be cheaper than Byfuglien and has potential to be a bigger scoring threat, only question would be how much we would have to give up in return for an offer sheet, and whether or not other teams are going to go after him, because there are teams out there that can afford to trade picks and such to land a player like Hornqvist.

Travis 576 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I think I'd take him. I generally adore anyone who dons the winged wheel anyway; but you can't deny what he did for them this season - more specifically in the playoffs. Moving him back to the wing was a great idea. There should be a clause in his contract where he has to wearing his hat sideways and put away the WCW belt, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted June 11, 2010 100000% yes! trade Cleary and a 3rd rounder for Byfuglien ROFL. Are you for real or are you really so oblivious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 ROFL. Are you for real or are you really so oblivious? Nope he is one of the Cleary haters man. Gotta go to each possible post for that. It's kind of funny. I tried my hand in the trade cleary poll and came out with way more no's and I know the Wings would never ever do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's silly for thinking that Chicago, which is currently in cap trouble, would in any scenario want to trade Byfuglien for a player who has an equivalent cap hit for the next three seasons. 1 Nhurdi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat 44 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 Give up one of our prospects for him, I'm telling you, the guy is young and can only get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I get this impression as well, but you never know until a player actually hits free agency and the actions they show... At a cap hit of 3 or less a season, and without trading any of our top 6 forwards or top 4 d-men... I'd pull the trigger on that one... There should be more options in the poll though - 1. Yes, at all cost 2. Yes, but only through free agency 3. Yes, but only if it didn't mean giving up any major assets 4. No, he will cost too much 5. No, at all cost His current cap hit is friendly for what he provides but this guy will expect more then $4,000,000 on the open market... he's got to be the cockiest son of a ***** on the ice (aside from Kane). Give up one of our prospects for him, I'm telling you, the guy is young and can only get better. Ok... it's really not that easy, but sure, he'd be nice to have on the team. Unfortunately the entire NHL would love to have him and he's going to cost a fortune to sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyTownHouligan 57 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 meh, he's good but not that great, he's just really big and hard to move i just don't think he's as good as holmstrom. But thats not really the point of this forum would i take him. depends on how much and how hard he would work i could see him being lazy and not into it.

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 I have to say the more I think about it I have waaaaay more respect for Toews being the Captain of the group of out and out ass hats he has to deal with. Well with the Cup win that probably makes it a tad easier but what about when their acts get just tired and their play doesn't speak for it anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13dangledangle 957 Report post Posted June 12, 2010 No thanks, I'd rather have Burtuzzi + Asham/Winchester -type physical player for the same cap hit than that moron. Not impressed with Bufuglianaopjkan (or however you spell his name) Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Flippula-Zetterberg-Hudler BERTUZZI-WINCHESTER-ASHAM Draper-Helm-Eaves .........I know you didnt mean both Asham and Winchester but damned that line 3 would be brutes lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Yes. We need a "Byfuglien" type on this team. You mean Homer? Homer had 8 more goals, 3 more assists, and was a +5 compared to -7 with 34 more PPM. That's without comparing salary. He was in one fight this season. That doesn't make up for 34PPM.

GORM19 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2010 Chicago has to clear some salary but don't expect it to be buff and even if it is don't expect him to be traded here. lets not forget he can play forward or d so i think that he is close to being worth 3 million probably 2.75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
