LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 I really like Valeri Nuchuskin and then sign Dekeyser. Dekeyser and Pulock and promote Lashoff permanently....let Kindl walk, dump Q and E and hope Kronner shapes up! I like Huskins as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yak19 303 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 Time for a trade, i don't mind involving any of Franzen, Filpulla, Cleary, Abdelkader, Quincey, Kindl, Nyquist, and Emmerton. Ryan O'Reilly please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterPavel 115 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 Dekeyser isn't gonna sign here and get buried in the minors until he's 27. and Kenny's not gonna draw kids attention to the Wings if they don't even get to earn a spot on the Wings and cash in even a little after their ELC. Maybe Kenny will have an epiphany on the golf course and change his strategy after missing the playoffs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if Holland lets Kindl walk and White walk then there is a spot for him to play...even if they keep Q.

beachwing 426 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 Say what you want about the roster, i dont see the effort and intensity every shift and that is on each player! Babs can yell and scream or skate them to death BUT it still comes Down to each individual to give a s*** and work!! I was flipping back and fourth from Philly/ tb and its like two different leagues. Wings look slow and tired... Still. Only game we showed any moxy was St Loius . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Brunner, Tootoo, Lashoff and Abby to an extent are the only guys playing good every game... I know its not all Howards fault, but man if he wants to be elite, he needs to steal some games, not just keep it 4-1...he has no control of his rebounds...gives up way too many. Lots of passengers today...most days. Filppula has been really good this year too, and as much as you hate Franzen, he's been pretty good after the first couple games. Howard isn't fighting to see the puck. He's just waiting for people to move and wondering why it keeps sailing past him into the net. Mrazek should start against the Blues to wake up the Wings.

Well if Holland lets Kindl walk and White walk then there is a spot for him to play...even if they keep Q. Kronner - E Huskins - Smith Lashoff - Dekeyser Q Fixed. But i'd keep White. Say what you want about the roster, i dont see the effort and intensity every shift and that is on each player!

Wings look slow and tired... Still. Only game we showed any moxy was St Loius . Z and Brunner together has been awesome, and even Franzen has regained some of his 2008 form on that line. The only guy that's had all out intensity every shift since the season started though is Z. He's been inspirational. Too bad the rest of the team is on the bench with their heads in their junk.

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 Still doesn't solve our scoring issues. We have a solid set of D prospects already. A 3rd line of Tatar-Jarnkrok-Drouin would be nice with Nyquist on the 2nd line. But we need to draft Drouin first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brett 1,029 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 i cant believe helm is worth so much to this team. 3rd and 4th line are useless without him dont worry everything will be fine once sammy comes back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 The way this team is going, he won't be buried in the minors. Those days are gone as I can see currently. Lets hope so. Tuzzi has been really good, but guys like Cleary need to go. Homer finally retired after hanging on 2 years too long, after Draper and Maltby did the same. It's getting old. Those guys win championships when they're young. Guys with that style of play have expiry dates. We have Nyquist, Tatar, Lashoff, Andersson, Jurco (eventually), Sheahan to fill out roster spots, but we see Q making almost 4 mil for a couple years and Cleary at almost 3 mil. Sammy's good, but Nyquist deserves his spot, as does Tatar. Dues have been paid. If Dekeyser comes here, he will want a spot and should get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Well that was a stinker. I don't want to sit here and pick it apart because there's enough of that going around for everyone. However, I do want to say that I hope I never hear Babcock say "I don't dictate the playing time, the players dictate their playing time by how well they perform". When I see Cleary and Quincey sitting and Kindl and Eaves playing in their spots I'll start believing that load of b.s. Still go a ways to go before we can call this a hockey team, but I'm not ready to give up yet. But a little accountability and consistency by the coaching staff would go a long way. I missed the game, so how did tatar look tonight? He wasn't really a factor, but he worked hard and his hustle almost made a few things happen. Give him consistent linemates and a week or two to practice and he'd probably contribute.

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 I think we need to re-assess when helm, smith get back.
