I think Lilja is the worst everyday defenseman the Red Wings have had since Dandenault was back there goofing up a few years ago. And being big does not make you valuble... you actually have to be effective. See: Uwe Krupp I think Lebda is an ok player but he is nothing special, either. I think he's better than Lilja, though.

Shanahan was a great contributor, but what kills me is that people rip Fedorov for leaving, yet Shanahan doesn't get the same kind of treatment. Especially with his playoff disappearing acts...the one thing you could always say for Fedorov, he showed up when it counted. 168 pts in 169 games... Shanahan on the other hand, not so much.
