Players in italics are players that would be aquired through free agency Ryder-Gomez-Jagr Avery-Drury-Dawes/FA signing Callahan-Dubinsky-Prucha/Dawes (if a 2nd forward is signed) Sjostrom-Betts-Orr Staal-Stuart Girardi-Tyutin Mara-*???* scratches: Pock, Hollweg, ???(Prucha if 2nd forward is signed) Lundqvist Valliquette Enter the poll to see my answer

#14 \| 71 days ago rootman54 (+)	I can pretty much bet on this: Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Holstrom and Lidstrom, Rafalski After that, you never know what pairings and lines will be formed from prospects that the Wings have in the waiting. Enter the poll to see my answer

#16 \| 66 days ago kteacher (+)	(Edited by kteacher) +1 As a Kings fan--are you serious? Youth movement here we , I thought we already were????? One of these days they will be good. All kidding aside, I actually like the way Lombardi is building the team. We are starting to stack up on young "D"-------translation----their power play numbers will go down minus Lubo, but their penalty kill should go up. By the way, do you think the Kings can get a coach? It might be nice if their was someone there to lead all these young'ins. Enter the poll to see my answer

#20 \| 66 days ago nyrangers (+)	MarkTheShark wrote: You guys got Redden...Whatta ya think? Well he takes care of our problem of lacking a PP Quarterback...but his $6.5M contract for 6 years seems a little pricey. Also, I am confused as to why we signed Redden AND Rozival, as Redden is mostly just an upgraded verison of Rozival. These two similar d-men take up $11.5M in cap space, when what we really need is scoring wingers and a bruising blueliner. But still, I think Redden will be a solid fit and he just needed a change of scenery Enter the poll to see my answer

#21 \| 66 days ago rootman54 (+)	+4 Now that the Red Wings have virtually no room left for this year, heres my predictions: Line 1: Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom Line 2: Hossa - Franzen - Cleary Line 3: Filppula - Draper - Samuelsson Line 4: Maltby - Hudler - McCarty Defense 1: Lidstrom - Rafalski Defense 2: Kronwall - Stuart Defense 3: Lilja - Chelios/Lebda And after all that young players like Ericsson, Meech, Quincy, Kopecky, and Helm are all left off the roster. All I can say is wow. Enter the poll to see my answer

I still wanna know what possessed the Pens to keep Mark Eaton. I can count on one hand the number of games he's played the past 2 years. Enter the poll to see my answer

I agree Malkin may have to move over to the wing, possibly Staal. But I dont think the Pens are done signing people, expect a few more wingers. And are they really happy with Sabourin as a backup?

I am hoping they find people to fill the voids left by Malone and now Hossa. They've got to find someone out there who is the same type of player that those 2 are. I heard Hossa said he thought he had a better chance of winning the Cup with the Wings, and that's why he went to Detroit. It's nothing against you or the Wings, but for that I hope the Pens win the Cup next year and the Wings get knocked out of the playoffs early, just to spite Hossa. Enter the poll to see my answer

I was so unbelievably pissed that Matt Schneider left us for the Stanley Cup Champion Ducks at the end of the 06-07 season. I laugh at his face now. Enter the poll to see my answer
