OK so i love datysuk. And i think underestimated for sure. But Ovechkin prob is going to take it this year even tho datsyuk is very deserving of it. they are going to say datsyuk plays with a more talented team then washington so OV is going to take MVP this year. What i think.

Datsyuk and Lidstrom still best Forward and Defence combo in the league.  

Im sorry but thats such a stupid idea. Lose lidstrom in 1 or 2 and want to get rid of our defence core what are you thinking... or should i say maybe you should start

So i was doing all the crunch work for the salary.

Detroit can keep hossa if willing to give up 2 of the following players

Franzen
Samuelson
Hudler

Hossa would also have to take a nice pay cut too at least 6.7 for this all to work. so thats 0.8 million less then this year and he could easly make close to 9 for any other team. This is all going with the salary staying the same due to north american economy problems. The 4 million raise that was talked about last summer isnt going to happen now. All teams can hope for is that they dont lower the salary cap and screw over teams like detroit.

So detroit would be left with
Hossa        Dasyuk        Hudler
Holmstrom Zetterberg  Lieno
Filppula      Draper        Maltby
Cleary        Helm           Abdekelder

Lidstrom  Rafalski
Kronwall  Stuart
Lilja         Lebda

Goalies is a toss up.. do they
trade Osgood and go with Conk starter and Howard back
or do they
stay with the wizard and have ty play backs or let howard take that roll
either way they can afford both... to help cap it would help to get rids of the wizard to gain little bit of cap room

thats my idea for next year and the salaries will work
