Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 Good news. Someone has to go, now. There really isn't any getting around it. Hopefully we'll get a defenseman in return. I'm gonna leave this list of defensemen here for Ken, because he definitely browses around the LGW forums: Anton Volchenkov John Erskine Cory Sarich Mike Komisarek Douglas Murray Zach Bogosian 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaCkaveli20 275 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 While Volchenkov's contract isn't great. He's a great shot blocker, would help with the loss of Stuart. And certainly make our PK better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lines Brunner - Dats - Zetterberg Franzen - Filpulla - Sammy Bert - Helm - Cleary Eaves - Abs - Tootoo Miller, Knuble Great news for Eaves and the Wings. Also, that's a pretty good set of forwards. I've been feeling less than stellar about the Wings as the season approaches, but man, on paper that looks pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Din758 371 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 why wouldnt the lines be: Brunner-Z-Franzen Bert-Pav-Flip or switch Bert and Franzen. Sorry for doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis 576 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 why wouldnt the lines be:Brunner-Z-Franzen Bert-Pav-Flip or switch Bert and Franzen. Sorry for doing that. Didn't Babcock say something to the effect of Datsyuk and Zetterberg starting the year together with Brunner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSM 114 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 why wouldnt the lines be:Brunner-Z-Franzen Bert-Pav-Flip or switch Bert and Franzen. Sorry for doing that. He's going with that lines that Babcock had set to start the season, just switched out Miller for Eaves. Probably a pretty good guesstimation too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,520 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 Glad to see Patty Eaves back. What's not to like about this guy? He provides depth scoring, PK acumen, works hard, forechecks like a badger, and makes the ladies swoon. Hope to see him play his way into the lineup soon, thus making my the first of my season predictions in the "2012 predictions" thread dead on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmamolo 287 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 Just like everyone else I'm pumped. The only problem I see is that with this news it means Eaves obviously can't start the season on LTIR and with Helm day-to-day someone will have to be cut/released/waived/traded. Because the Wings will need a 4th line centre it probably means Emmerton starts the year witht he club which could push Mursak out which would suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
