Booster313 138 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Here is my roster, obviously we'd have to send something, (possibly Emmerton or Mursak) which may open up a injury spot for Drapes, also if Jagr decides to sign, dump Hudler. I figure if we have the cap space we might as well keep Huds and try to get him going right away unless a better player is available. CAPGEEK.COM CAP CALCULATOR FORWARDS Jiri Hudler ($2.875m) / Henrik Zetterberg ($6.083m) / Johan Franzen ($3.954m) Daniel Cleary ($2.800m) / Pavel Datsyuk ($6.700m) / Alexander Frolov ($3.500m) Todd Bertuzzi ($1.937m) / Valtteri Filppula ($3.000m) / Patrick Eaves ($1.750m) Tomas Holmstrom ($1.875m) / Justin Abdelkader ($0.787m) / Darren Helm ($0.912m) Cory Emmerton ($0.533m) / Jan Mursak ($0.550m) DEFENSEMEN Nicklas Lidstrom ($6.200m) / James Wisniewski ($4.000m) Niklas Kronwall ($3.000m) / Ed Jovanovski ($3.900m) Brad Stuart ($3.750m) / Jonathan Ericsson ($2.400m) / Jakub Kindl ($0.883m) GOALTENDERS Jimmy Howard ($2.250m) / Evgeni Nabokov ($0.570m) CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter) (these totals are compiled without the bonus cushion) SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $64,212,044; BONUSES: $0 CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $87,956 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 White is the best option, and really he should have been the best option from the beginning. Save for the right hand part. ASSETS: Moves the puck with precision out of the defensive zone. Is an above-average skater and puck-handler. Owns a big shot from the point. FLAWS: Lacks ideal size for the NHL, especially in front of his own net. Can go into offensive slumps from time to time. CAREER POTENTIAL: Mobile, yet diminutive defenseman.

pucktividi 472 Report post Posted July 3, 2011 So the Wings have added 2 d men,backup goalie's on the way,but we are still one depth scoring winger short in my eyes. Wanted Laich,Ryder or Jokinen but they are already locked so what about Vinny Prospal? I know he's 36,but he can play and for Bert/Homer's money wouldn't mind him see in the Wings sweater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockey23 79 Report post Posted July 4, 2011 Holland on getting a backup: The market for goalies is pretty picked over, Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. We’re comfortable with Chris Osgood if we have to do it. I have gotten calls from teams, looking to trade a goaltender, Holland said. I need to do something and I probably will this week. Also, on the offseason in general: We like our team, but we’re ready to make another move or two—whether it’s a signing or a trade—to make our team better this summer, Holland said. I think the roster is probably about as good as last year, but losing in the 2nd round isn't the goal. It's good to hear Kenny's not done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
