Looking ahead to the off season. Let's just say for shig's and gittles, Holland trades is able to acquire Suter, Parise and Semin. Lidstrom re-tires, Hudler walks, Holmstrom re-tires and he re-signs Helm and Abby and Quincey to long term deals. Your roster may look something like this:


Franzen Datsyuk Semin
Filpplua Zetterberg Parise
Mursak Helm Bertuzzi
Eaves Abby Miller

Suter White
Kronwall Quincey
Smith Ericsson

fast forward to 2013 and if Weber comes knocking, just replace White with Weber or re-sign White and ditch Ericsson if he hasn't gotten any better...

I like it. *SMACK!* Now I wake up from that dream, but that would for sure be a better roster than they have now...and it would be doable.

edit: Also you'll notice Cleary is gone...traded for a pick. If not, then Make Mursak the 13th FWD and put Cleary on the third line...Kindl is 7th D of course, unless Dekeyser gets signed and gets that nod.

We need to try to get Radulov and Weber

For the love of whoever is up there.... Please get Datsyuk a true goal scorer to play with. Thats all I care about.

No one really "likes" playing for Nashville, it's just what professional players are supposed to say until they get traded somewhere better.

Chances are it's going to come down to who they can afford to keep and who the odd man out will be unless they can get everyone back under cap.

I can't see them spending on Suter and Weber. If they signed each of those guys at market value and already have Rinne for 7 million they won't have a whole lot to spend on some desperately needed offense. Unless they think Radulov is going to be a superstar. I don't.

I'll bet Mike Fisher likes playing in Nashville, it makes his wife happy... haha

I heard on the HNIC hot stove the other week that for whatever reason, the Hurricanes are poised to make a big push for both Suter and Parise. Apparently they are good friends, and may consider signing with the same team if the prices are right. If Lids retires after this season (I think he will), Holland should really go after these guys.
