PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Not big on the idea of Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Nyquist. I really want a big body on that right wing. Jurco could use a little more time in the AHL, but if he's playing with Z and D, and his main job is to go to the net? I'd say he's ready for that. I don't think I want Alfredsson in the top six. He could be a matchup advantage on the third line. Maybe the third line doesn't have to be quite so sheltered with him on it. Sheahan's best suited for center, IMHO. At the very least, he gives us a big body at center, something we're otherwise sorely lacking. I agree with you on Z-D-N. It's just too much of similar ingredients. Everyone should remember that, though Nyquist played great with Z, He really didn't gel with Dats. There was a bunch of articles about how people thought Nyquist was deferring to Dats. So if we want Nyquist with Z, that means we split up the euro twins and they play with Weiss which might work (could help out Weiss). Or Z plays center, but we have many centers that it would probably push Weiss or Sheahan to an unnatural position which I think doesn't play to their strengths. I disagree with number9 that Nyquist NEEDS to play with Z. He played great with others and I think he showed last year that he excelled when he was the one driving the play. Him with Weiss and Franzen is fine and allows other players to be where they should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 You would have to have a ton of confidence and moxy to hog the puck on a line with dats and z. I expect most guys would plan on getting the puck to them and trying to get open Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Yes too busy going for beers with babs and Kenny lol I edit my original statement. I don't want to gossip like that. I think the trainers guard may have been down because we were mostly discussing his Ice Bucket Challenge and my ALS. If you edit my quote out of your post, I'll put up a vid of the trainer I was talking to working the Wings. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Having rethought this, I'd still have no problem putting Datsyuk with Z and Nyquist, even just to see if it works. High octane offence, speed and hands that could destroy an opposing line. Yes they're lacking in size, but size isn't everything. Anyway, this debate is beginning to annoy me slightly as to the reality that Jurco will most likely start the year in the AHL. And yes while a little seasoning in the AHL would be good for him, he more than held his own last year, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed. While I feel like pulling for Cleary to have a good camp, in some ways I'm hoping Jurco just runs circles around everyone so he forces everyone's hand.

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Last year they were pushing for a second line of Franzen-Weiss-Alfie. This combo never worked at all. That was probably partly due to Weiss's injury, but they just never showed any chemistry. It still seems like a likely scenario so hopefully they can gel. Franzen and Weiss, at least, will surely see some time together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
