man oh man what a tournament for helm , he was all over the ice in canada's gold medal win
i cant wait to see him with the wings , hes like a maltby/draper ......but younger obviously , faster (sure looked like he was real fast) he can hit he looks like hes got alot more offensive talent , had some nice chances

Grigenko wont play here next season. Datsyuk wont be here next season. Cleary will be on a higher line then flippula. Kopecky gets a roster spot , not hudler. So bascially Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Smyth Cleary-Lang-Williams Maltby-Draper-Holmstrom Kopecky-Franzen-Flip/Hudler
chris phillips will most likely get a nice amount of money on the market and at least a 3-4 yr deal , which we dont need jakub kindl will be cheap and he almost made the team , id rather we give him a shot and use the money elsewhere , im hoping grigorenko comes over and starts in the team , what makes you so sure he wouldnt make the team ?? hes been playing in the russian elite league for years , and im pretty sure if he'd come over he wouldnt wanna go to the ahl and get payed peanuts he'd just play in russia or sign elsewhere
you say datsyuk wont be here next season yet you put him up on a line with zetterberg and smyth lol , is he or is he not here?
well 1st off we gotta add some cap space so who are you guys willing to let go ??
we should be able to save 900k on maltby , either he resigns for 500 k or we replace with kopecky , id rather pick kopecky , hes younger and will play harder to stay in the nhl
then we got
robert lang mathieu schneider pavel datsyuk tomas holmstrom dominik hasek danny markov + kopecky and hudler restricted
holmstrom and markov will most likely get a little raise , only way i see us savin a bit of space is if we lose datsyuk which i think we should depending on his demands and his playoff performance and if robert lang would take a 2.5 per yr deal and save us 1.3
the guy id consider letting go is schneider , yes hes doing good but hes most likely to get 4+ from another team and hes getting old , id rather we bring up kyle quincey and/or kindl
anyways on the players id target
shane doan chris drury
our defense if it was up 2 me would be
lidstrom markov kronwall kindl chelios lebda quincey ( i say we let chelios play 55-60 games and quincey plays 25-30 + games where other d men would b injured)
grigorenko datsyuk doan filppula zetterberg holmstrom cleary lang /samuelsson franzen draperhudler kopecky
i know it wont happen but we gotta get rid of samuelson or williams to give some space to our younsters in the lineup
