Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Modano to play the role of Meech. Sorry... what's his role??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus's Garden 147 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I wouldn't mind Modano for ONE year @ 900K or so. Just throw Ritola through waivers, and we'd carry 14 forwards. Hudler-Modano-Cleary Abdelkader-Helm-Eaves Miller, Draper I think Abdelkader could drop the gloves more often. What are the odds of moving Helm out to a wing, keeping Modano and Fil at center on back two lines? It seems plausible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 He also said he wants Ericsson and Kindl ice time. He might go for a 7th d-man. Maybe Janik fits the bill. He also said he's not ready to give # 6 to Kindl - he needs to earn it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjm502 165 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Sign Modano for around $1m, trade Miller and Meech for some picks than use what we have left for our 6th defenseman which im sure Janik could fill the role of just fine if he had to. Sorry I cant help it, he is one of my favorite players. 2 Lidstrom for life and wingsownnhl43 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I wouldn't mind Modano for ONE year @ 900K or so. Just throw Ritola through waivers, and we'd carry 14 forwards. Hudler-Modano-Cleary Abdelkader-Helm-Eaves Miller, Draper I think Abdelkader could drop the gloves more often. With Tatar and Mursak knocking on the door, I wouldn't want to see Modano signed for more than one year. From the above roster, I'd drop Miller for Boll (if it could happen).

Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 Getting a No. 6 or 7 defenseman would appear to be a higher priority than signing a forward. They have two strong pairings -- Nicklas Lidstrom-Brian Rafalski and Brad Stuart-Niklas Kronwall -- and would like a safe veteran to play alongside young Jonathan Ericsson. Rookie Jakub Kindl is assured of a roster spot because he is out of minor-league options, but the team isn't going to hand him a spot in the lineup unless he earns it. "If there's a defenseman between now and September available at a price that fits in, we'll look at doing something," Holland said. "If we don't do anything on defense, we're OK, though not as deep as we'd like to be." http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2010/06/red_wings_more_likely_to_fill.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey Convert 55 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 I'm sorry, but yes. He has already been contacted by the Wings. I'm not disputing that; my point, which probably wasn't clear enough, was that I think it's a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
