Guest Johnz96 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 I agree, Sammy has skills that rookies don't. If they could play a better all around game than Sammy then they'd be in the lineup and he'd be signed with another team. That's exactly my point, at this stage of their respective careers Sammy is a better player than Nyquist or Tatar. As is Cleary, as is Franzen, as is Bertuzzi. When Nyquist or Tatar crack the third line in a year or so, and develop a better all around game, then (and only then) will they be "better" than the vets and have a permanent spot on the top six. Just EXACTLY like what Filppula was required to do, for example. As I said in another post, Filppula didn't earn his right to play in the top six until last season, yet for some reason people think Nyquist and Tatar are both ready to play there right now. And this is Filppula, a guy who, even before last year's breakout success, was noticeably better than either Nyquist or Tatar are right now. Filppula earned the right to play in the top 6 years ago, he just wasn't afforded the opportunity. This is something that argued about with people on Red Wings Central for years and he was finally afforded the opportunity to prove me right last year.

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted January 16, 2013 "Dope" and Emmerton are not compatible in the same sentence. I disagree. It all depends on the context in which you use the word "dope". For example: "One must be a dope to think that Emmerton is more than a healthy scratch when the Wings have their full compliment of forwards available." It works in that context right?

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted January 20, 2013 After tonight I think one thing is obvious. We need to split up Z and Dats. We just can't match up with other teams the way we are set up right now. Now that mursak is down I'd add nyquist to the mix for the time being with bert out. Filppula - Datsyuk - Franzen Nyquist - Zetterberg - Brunner Cleary - Helm - Sammy Miller - Abdelkader - Tootoo I'd even prefer to have eaves out there in place of sammy to be honest but that will never happen.

I just feel if our d- core is gonna be as weak as it is, we mine as well bring in some youth and talent so we have the energy and speed to wear down other teams, so that we are more on the offensive and don't need to play so much in our own end.

Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted January 20, 2013 f*** this.Leave the kids in GR. At least they're winning down there. In fact, send Smith back down there too. No surround Gus and Tatar around guys like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Brunner, Filppula, and Helm. Give them lots of ice and opportunity around these type players and we will become a better team immediately. We need more team speed, skill, and young enthusiasm. Please play Nyquist and Tatar Holland, there not even that young and have nothing more to prove in the AHL. 1 Konnan511 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
