Next Year UFA Wish List

10 January 2013 - 11:14 AM

Looking to next year's free agents list, who would you make a play for?

 

Here are my top 5:

 

- Corey Perry OR Ryan Getzlaf

 

- Travis Zajac

 

- Alex Edler

 

- Mark Fistric

 

If we could pick up one of Perry/Getzlaf/Zajac it would make Franzen and Filppula expendable and they could be traded for a top dman. 


If you could reset the career of one Wings player...

Just for some light fun with the lockout looming. Hopefully this hasn't been done recently:

If you could reset the career or one wings player and have them back in their youth who would it be? Would it be a young Lidstrom to shore up the D for another 20 years or would it be Stevie Y to bring that talent and leadership?

For me I'd say Lidstrom only because of the situation our D is in right now, but I keep wanting to say Stevie anyways...

IF there is a lockout, where will our players likely end up?

Just wondering what you guys think as to where our current players would play in the event of a lockout. Would it be the same destinations as last time? What would you like to see?

Young Guns

Pretend you are Ken Holland, and pretend you actually want to go with a youth movement in, say 2 years when the rest of our old guys are gone. This is the way our core likely looks:

Fwds:
Zetterberg (33)
Datsyuk (35)
Filppula (30)
Helm (27)
Nyquist (24)
Franzen (35)

Dmen:
Smith (25)
Kronwall (33)
Ericsson (30)

Goalies:
Howard (30)

Which of our prospects would you expect to be ready and which spots would you fill through other means?

I think in 2 years we will see for sure:

Jarnkrok, Sheahan, Tatar, Pulkkinen out of our forwards

I don't see any dmen ready for another 1-2 years beyond this (unless Sproul or Ouellet are studs). Lashoff might get a look but I don't see him as anything more than a 6/7. Almqvist is a hit or miss it seems. So I think we would have to address our D via FA or trade.

How do you guys see the future? Am I being realistic? Just want to forget our current troubles and look to a greener future...
