Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 I'm surprised Tommy is so high. Plus, for as high as they have Jarnrok, they have Teemu quite low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 Smith and tartar make me happy. I hope smith can improve his defense. I just read tartar is the most exciting prospect since datsyuk and zetterberg. His numbers are nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings1110 184 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 I really hope Sheahan gets his offense together, he's a rare breed that wings' have had very very little off the past decade On any other team I think his offense would be double what it is now because of their style of play.

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 http://redwingscentral.com/stories/2010_12/08_PreliminaryRanking.php Smith takes top spot, not surprising. Enjoy! i can't wait to see nyquist on the top line with dats and Z! i love all the haters that say the wings are f***ed when lids retires. smith is gonna be a beast. almqvist will take rafalski's spot and lashoff sounds like a manimal. tatar will hopefully take a roster spot on the wings soon. not sure where there's room in the next 2 years, but that's not for me to figure out. holland probably gets mad erections when he looks at his prospect pool. hopefully jarnkrok and almqvist tear s*** up at the WJC.

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Since that big game has Tatar been better or up and down still? Emmerton is +14 that is saying something when only 3 other players on the team are close to that +/-.

Emmerton is +14 that is saying something when only 3 other players on the team are close to that +/-. Better. Fraser, although still sucking at his lines, has been putting skill player with Tatar. do you guys think we'll see Mursak with the big team next year? He'll have to be. He is out of options and he needs to be re-signed as he will be a RFA at seasons end. I fully expect him to replace Miller next season, or Eaves because one of them will not be back.

I fully expect him to replace Miller next season, or Eaves because one of them will not be back. Both Eaves and Miller might not be back because they might have Mursak and Emmerton on cheaper deals. I know they're both very important to the PK but at the same time the money for Jimmy's new contract and hopefully Nick's new contract will have to come from somewhere. Then they might re-sign Draper as the reserve forward for mentorship purposes. (Konnan511) EDIT: Oops. Not entry level, right? EDIT AGAIN: Parenthetical citation and Works Cited. Works Cited 1.

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Pulkinnen should be higher imo; Sheahan, Andersson, Emmerton, Lashoff reshuffled a bit. I'd rank: 01. Smith -- Beast 02. Tatar - Minibeast 03. Nyquist -- Arguably (one of) the best prospect in college hockey 04. Mursak 05. McCollum 06. Jarnkrok -- Has higher upside than Sheahan most likely, but.. 07. Sheahan -- Was taken in the 1st round because he's a safe pick to develop into a usable NHLer, plus size 08. Pulkinnen -- Injuries still leave questions, but could rapidly vault up list 09. Emmerton - Please be for real this time, Cory. 10. Lashoff 11. Andersson Edited December 9, 2010 by Datsyerberger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted December 9, 2010 Haha, it was more paraphrase I suppose. Do you think both Eaves AND Miller will be gone next season in favor of our homegrown fellas? Well we might actually see Miller gone but I doubt Eaves is. I actually think Hudler will be traded for picks before we lose Eaves. Modano will be gone next year, Abby plays his third line center spot then Emmerton takes the role of 4th line center. Miller is gone and Mursak takes his 4th line spot and fills in in the top 6 for injuries. Or maybe Hudler is gone and we see a third line of Mursak Abby Cleary and a 4th of Eaves Emmerton Miller.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) 2011/12: Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Franzen - Filppula - Hudler Cleary - Abdelkader - Bertuzzi Eaves - Helm - Mursak (Emmerton) Tatar could certainly make the team, ditto Smith, but as they still have year(s) to run on their contracts, no need when the team is already loaded. Frustrating for Tatar though, hopefully he takes it well. 2012/13: Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Cleary Franzen - Filppula - Hudler Tatar - Abdelkader - Mursak (sick line) Emmerton - Helm - Eaves Edited December 9, 2010 by Aussie_Wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
