The 2007-09 Wings who went top four three years in a row were quite a deep team. Just think of the third line of Hudler-Filppula-Samuelsson that could be a great second line now. And players like Zetterberg, Franzén and Hudler had bargain contracts so Holland was able to afford the likes of Hossa and Rafalski.

If they allow Nyquist on the team next year (I mean how could they not?) then he'll be a bargain for sure.
Sending Goose to GR for next year will be so much more ridiculous than when they sent Helm to GR at the start of the 08-09 season and that was pretty Goddamn ridiculous.

Sammy looked mediocre on a stellar 2007-09 Wings team,but these days I'd take him over Hudler,Quincey,Stuart on PP point without any doubt

One thing to be said about Sammy was he was never afraid to shoot the puck, that's for sure.

I never seen a person blow more shots into a defenseman's shins than Sammy.

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

How dared he not be perfect when he got paid as much as Patrick Eaves does now.
