HowSwedeItIs

Step up his game? Osgood shouldn't have been in the NHL last season based on his regular season play and only STARTED playing like an NHL caliber goalie after reaching the playoffs. Its great to have players like that but someone has to show up to play for 82 games consistently and up till this point, Datsyuk and Lidstrom have been the two most consistent Wings in the regular season.

Kovalchuk obviously. Even if it takes putting Cleary or Rafalski on waivers. You don't pass up a chance at the best goal scorer in the league because of "role players". Zetterberg, Hull and Kovalchuk are pretty much the only players in the league that have a known chemistry with Datsyuk. That twelve year deal for Franzen currently looks bats*** crazy.

Datsyuk is on pace for 21 goals, while Zetterberg is one pace for 23... Zetterberg isn't a playmaker hes a goal scorer, while Datsyuk is one of the best passers in the game. Perhaps you should complain about the "Golden Swede" before you start riding Datsyuk for being seven goals off from his average.
