rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 8, 2013 I think some of us are going to love this guy. Seems like a heart & soul player, like Helm or Eaves, only with way more skill and hockey sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted July 8, 2013 I enjoy Abby playing alongside our eurotwins but having Nyquist in the top 6 and Tatar with Helm would be my ideal preferance. If we were to split them then this is how i would go about it Mule - Dats - Nyquist Z/Weiss - Weiss/Z - Alfy Abs - Helm - Tatar Miller - Andy - Sheahan/Eaves/Jurco/Bert/Sammy/Ferraro (option galore) Id love to have a all swede line but I don't see Weiss and Dats playing much together. Here is why I am so confused with holland right now because where is cleary going to fit with all of these forwards? 1 Wingsfan72 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lwing 68 Report post Posted July 8, 2013 I looked at some videos of Weiss and found a few fights. He is not afraid to drop the gloves (imagine that in a Red Wing if you can), but the problem is he get's his butt kicked every time he does. Thank God we have Franzen to protect him. 1 matthewdanna reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsAlways 486 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 Watching this video, you know why like this guy? Explosiveness. He creates so many plays and will make the line he centers so much better. Good upgrade and cheaper than Fil. The banked drop pass to the teammate behind him was very crafty... He seems to be very offensive minded not to mention a quick thinker, I think he'll fit in just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 Go over to the Florida boards. All ten Florida fans rave about him. They say he was the heart and soul of the team, he's feisty, is good on faceoffs and can control the puck. He goes for the net, he's a great teammate, a classy guy, and is underappreciated. About the only negative they said was that he's not super-tough, but he doesn't shy away from using the body or going into tight areas. They also said his forecheck leaves something to be desired. But all in all it sounds like he's a huge upgrade over Flip and the Florida crew thinks he'll be a fan favorite. 2 St. Michael (the Red Wing) and haroldsnepsts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted July 9, 2013 Doubt it will happen but I would rather see: Z-Dats-Alfie Mule-Weiss-Gus I am very much good with that line up too! Especially since you put the former UMainer in the top 6! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 Ummmmm...Weiss is a center. And Alfredsson is a RW. Right? So... Zetterberg/Abdelkader - Datsyuk - Abdelkader/Zetterberg Franzen - Weiss - Alfredsson Yes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted July 10, 2013 Franzen plays RW usually. So: Zetterberg - Dats - Alfie Nyquist - Weiss - Franzen Tatar - Helm - Abby Miller - Andersson - Eaves/Bert Emmerton, Sammy The only player on off wing is Abby and he will just grind anyways. Or do: Miller - Helm - Eaves Tatar - Andersson - Abby As a 3A/3B option Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted July 11, 2013 I think that Nyquist will most likely see time on the third line, where he will probably be more effective than in a top-six role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
