I don't know about that. He is young, hopefully he grows up if that's a problem hopefully Datsyuk and Lidstrom and the Wings organization can set a good example for him but the guy's young tough and got 40 goal potential and is going to be more affordable now to acquire than he ever will be.

I think Stewart would be a perfect fit for the Wings if he doesn't have prima donna attitude issues like Crosby. If the Wings can get Pariise, they would have a lot of good skating, skilled finess type smaller players with Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Parise, Nyquist even with prospects they are stocked with such players like Tatar, Jarnkrok, and Pulkinnen so trading Filppula for Stewart would leave us enough cap space left to get an elite defenseman like Suter and bigger tougher bottom 6 forward that would leave us looking something like this. I don't think we would be able to afford to keep Hudler however.


Datsyuk-Parise-Stewart

Zetterberg-Franzen-Nyquist

Helm-Bertuzzi-Cleary

Miller-Abdelkader-Moen/Gaustad

with Eaves, Mursak and Emmerton fighting for time

Suter-Kronwall

Smith-White

Quincey-Ericsson

Kindl and Schultz as reserves

Howard-Mcdonald/free-agent

That would be a younger, deeper, bigger, tougher to play against line-up than the one we iced this year and still as skilled

I didn't think that there was intent to injure on that play,, they were a distance from the boards when contact was initiated and it looked like he layed off on it, Kronwall slid into the boards after he was already down on the ice. I don't think it was that dirty and I don't think Stuart deserved to get beat up for a good hit but some dirt usually goes with the territory when you are talking about mean guys. We need a mean guy especially a young one with a right-handed shot who could score 40 goals for us

^ there goes that good idea of signing Stewart.

[DangleDangleBeach]

lol... like there was ever really a chance that st louis would let him come here.

[Crymson]

What I have been trying to say at the moment he is worth less than his potential and because he is precisely what we need, he is worth the cost in a trade but at the same time would still be a bargain against the cap enabling us more freedom to make other moves now or in the near future

What is it you don't understand about teams not wanting to trade assets to divisional rivals?
