Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Ok, so the likelihood of the Wings adding to the current roster before mondays deadline are about as remote as Zenon Konopka winning the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy this year. So we have all our roster guys fit and healthy, and we add 9 Black aces for the playoff run. G MacDonald, D Smith, Meech, Janik and Fwds Mursak, Tatar, Emmerton, Tardif & I Filppula. So with that, what you gunna do and what are your lines. Will be very interesting to see who gets left in the stands, my guess is probably some of our so called vets get to warm the stands seats abit more than they thought. Ill start the ball rolling. 1st Line Zetterberg Datsyuk Hudler 2nd Line Franzen Modano Bertuzzi 3rd Line Eaves Filpulla V Cleary 4th Line Helm Abdelkader Draper res Miller Holmstrom 1D Lidstrom Kronwall 2D Stuart Rafalski 3D Salei Ericsson res Kindl/Smith G Howard G Osgood.

Guest Hatethedrake! Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Just to be different... Abdelkader-Datsyuk-Hudler Franzen-Modano-Bertuzzi Filppula-Zetterberg-Cleary Eaves-Helm-Holmstrom Miller, Draper Lidstrom-Salei Kronwall-Rafalski Stuart-Ericsson Kindl Osgood-Howard HAHA the Line Nazis will have a field day with this one. Really it doesn't matter. Babs will mix things up and go with the hot lines anyway. Well I assume their will be hot lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 I'd go vintage with the top line - clutch on d and offense. Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Franzen - Filppula - Hudler Bertuzzi - Modano - Cleary Draper - Helm - Eaves Sit: Abby - in for Drapes if required Miller Defense: Lidstrom - Rafalski Stuart - Kronwall Salei - Ericsson Sit: Kindl Smith Goalies: Howard Osgood - although the second howard falters i wanna see if he can spark some playoff magic.

WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted February 26, 2011 Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Franzen - Filppula - Bert Abby - Modano - Cleary Huds - Helm - Eaves Sit: Draper- plays if there is a deserved loss Miller Defense: Lidstrom - Rafalski Stuart - Kronwall Salei - Ericsson Sit: Kindl Smith Goalies: Howard Osgood - although the second howard falters i wanna see if he can spark some playoff magic. I'd like them to try Abby with Modano and Cleary again. This line was hot earlier in the season and hopefully they can continue the trend. Huds should be playing on a higher line, but hopefully he can bring some scoring to the fourth. I would also have Huds play the PP to get more ice-time.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 27, 2011 I can't justify putting Abdelkader on the top 4 lines over Draper based on his play this season. Abs just isn't hitting like he used to... he looks completely drained of energy out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you obviously know there is no roster limit come playoffs, what is the signficance of naming a 23 man roster? You can't dress 23 players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankthaTank 1,100 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 I don't think anyone else picked up on this. Sure we did. Same old shtick Hudler-Datsyuk-Cleary (can't break that line up imo) Filppula-Zetterberg-Franzen Bertuzzi-Modano-Holmstrom Draper-Helm-Eaves (Abdelkader, until he wants to be Abby of last year Drapes gets the nod and Miller) Lidstrom-Stuart Ericsson-Rafalski Salei-Kronwall Howard (starter) Osgood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 The maximum limit of a 23 man roster expires and becomes unlimited after deadline day, and it stays this way through the postseason, so why would I set a 23 man roster? Here's what my combined group of active players, spares, and black aces look like: Hudler - Datsyuk - Cleary Bertuzzi - Zetterberg - Franzen Filppula - Modano - Holmstrom Draper - Helm - Eaves Primary spares: Abdelkader, Miller, Mursak Secondary spares: Tatar, Emmerton Lidstrom - Rafalski Kronwall - Stuart Ericsson - Salei (In the playoffs, the best guys are going to see more minutes than the balanced/conservative approach Babcock has been taking during the season.) Primary spares: Kindl Secondary spares: Smith, Janik, Meech Howard Osgood Spare: MacDonald Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
