Feldmarschall 9 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 I like the idea of adding McKee to replace Lilja. He's a good physical shot-blocker and a strong PKer. I remember watching him during Buffalo's playoff run back in 06, and he was fantastic as a shutdown guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 Sutton (LONG SHOT - too $$) Really really wish this could happen. Can someone out there tell me why this guy is too $$??? I don't see him being crazy high profile salary guy. *Meh* get it done Kenny. He fits the bill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 First we lose Downey, then we lose May, and now we're going to lose Lilja. This sucks. 5 HankthaTank, 55fan, titanium2 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Lilja really had a good season this year. He seems to have gotten over the brain-lapses in his play. He'll be a really solid shot blocking defenseman for a struggling team, or a good 6th on a good team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Needless to say, I'm pissed. For once, GET IT DONE, KENNY. Not up to Kenny. Lilja chose to test the market, and Holland would never not comply wish Lilja's wishes. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13dangledangle 965 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) I love Lilja but at his age to be a 3rd pairing I get him wanting to move on elsewhere and bloom. I actually dig Exelby a lot and think he would "bloom" in the Wings system.

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 Its gonna be interesting to see what Kenny does on July 1st.He's not known to make huge splashes via free agency.I think the blueline needs to get tougher,so gimme Nick Boynton and I'm happy,as far as defense goes. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
