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.

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.

[HankthaTank]

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

[Datsyerberger]

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

Huds and Homer together would be a pretty weak defensively.

[robb himself]

gotta have Holmstrom on the PP. Period.

PP#1 Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Holmstrom
Rafalski, Lidstrom

PP#2 Franzen, Filppula, Hudler (with Bertuzzi switching in and out)
Kronwall, Modano (also would love to see Ericsson get some time)

[king_malice]

Huds and Homer together would be a pretty weak defensively.

Huds and Homer playing with Lids,Kronner and Z i think will be good enough on the D side of the game

I wouldn't mind seeing this line in the regular season to see if they can produce offensively and defensively. However, putting them together starting in the playoffs would to too risky IMO. It could be a great offensive line though.
