ROCHitman Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Red Wings will look at a number of starting goaliesIMO, the Wings should look at an upgrade in starting goaltending. Legace is a fine goaltender in the regular season, but hasn't been able to turn excellent regular seasons into excellent playoff performances. I know, the rest of the Wings didn't exactly play that well during the playoffs, but I saw a lot of soft, back-breaking goals allowed against Edmonton. Also, I don't believe that Osgood is the answer for starter either.I imagine either Ozzie or Legace will return as a backup, and the Wings will go after one of the goalies listed. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing either Luongo or Giguere in the red and white next year. As for the rest of the team, I wouldn't mind seeing Shanahan leave. I'm getting tired of seeing him score 30-40 goals during the regular season, then disappear off the face of the earth during the playoffs. Which of those goalies do you prefer the Wings sign?Me? Biron would be great in Motown IMO. Owner of Kalamazoo Tech Kobras (Nat'l College Fant. Assc. Basketball, Football, and Hockey) 2006-07 NCFAB National Champions2006 NCFAF Midwest Conf.

zig Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The Devils need to re-sign everyone. They cannot let elias or gomez go. If they do that I think they are going to have a great year if Elias is healthy and if gomez and gionta play as well as this year. They need to upgrade their D though.

I will build on your "HA HA" by bursting out into tears.We have officially screwed ourselves over. I would have taken him back for 4 million. 4.5 without a no trade clause. He is NOT worth 5.5 or 6 million, he has done NOTHING to prove he is one of the elite defencemen in the league besides scoring a few goals. Hell, he should move to right wing because hes useless in the back end for preventing goals. They will regret this signing...about 10 million spend on 2 defencemen...and I thought this team was turning around...oh once again they have proven me wrong by over paying for players.

jkrdevil Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 For the Devils:1: Resign Elias. This is a no brainer2. Trade Mogilny and try to void Malakhovs contract so they don't get count against the cap next year. I'm sure the a team like the Leafs are dumb enough to take Mogilny back.3. Resign Gomez, Gionta, Langenbrunner4. If there is any money left sign a defenseman who is reliable and that can shoot a one timer from the point.5. Get a head coach.

Kit Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 The Predators' strategy is transparent as you can get:1. Keep key playmakers (Kariya and Sullivan, particularly)2. Keep key defensive players (Vokoun, Timonen)3. Nurture young talent (Hamhuis, Suter, the entire lineup of the Milwaukee Admirals, plus Alexander Radulov incoming from the Remparts)I'd like to see us keep Perrault too. Mike Sillinger did well this year; worthy of consideration, anyway.Basically, sign everyone; hope Vokoun doesn't injure himself again (though Chris Mason did better than everyone expected him to in the playoffs, and Pekka Rinne is pretty freaking excellent in Milwaukee at the moment. I'm still convinced our biggest problem in the postseason was confidence after losing Vokoun. Odd that we couldn't shake that even after winning game 1).We could probably use a couple more big guys, but we've got a nice even spread of youth and veterans.

Inatimate Object Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Now onto the Thrashers' needs:1. Defense: The team needs a good mix of defensive-minded bangers and speedy, offensive skaters. The team needs to re-sign their top defenseman from last season in Nic Havelid. Garnett Exelby was steady defensively and is the team's best natural hitter. Steve McCarthy and Greg de Vries were the two best offensive D-men from last year. Andy Sutton isn't top-2 D-man material, but he'll hit you and score some goals; he just needs consistancy. Waddell needs to find a way to get rid of Modry and/or Hnidy. Let's see if Coburn or Kloucek are NHL-ready.2. Goalie: When he's healthy, Lehtonen is solid and gives the team a chance to win each game, especially when the spotlight is on him. Michael Garnett showed that he is able to handle playing in the NHL, with having back-to-back shutouts against playoff teams New Jersey and Montreal. If either happens to injure a groin (seems like everyone did) or something, the team still has depth at goalie.3. Forwards: Unless Savard tell his agent he is willing to get a hometown discount to stay, he's probably not going to be in a Thrashers sweater next season. But the Thrashers still have Holik and Jim Slater, will likely re-sign Patrik Stefan, and use either Serge Aubin or Derk MacKenzie for the energy and grinding lines. These are the players the Thrashers currently have under contract: Kovalchuk, Hossa, Holik, de Vries, Kozlov, Sutton, Modry, Slater, Hnidy, and Exelby; totaling about $28 million after all the quirks of the cap are settled. Thrash need to fire Don Waddell especially before he releases yet another good player. Isn't that Steve Staois and Frank Kaberle playing in the Stanley Cup Final?? They also need to just get rid of Stefan, if they can get anything for him great, if not then so be it. You're right on about Modry, he is terrible and apparently missed the meeting where they mentioned the rule changes. Coburn should be given a chance, but not Kloucek he is pretty bad. Savard is as good as gone but it is not that big of a deal, he did cost us almost as many games as he won by taking bad penalties in the last five minutes of games. Richards just resigned for more than 5 million a year and Savard had more points than him and will be asking for a similar price. I know it's a long shot, but if the Avs clean house like it is rumored, the Thrash should take a shot at Sakic. 99% of me believes he will stay in Colorado, but if he is going to go anywhere else it would be to play for Hartley. Oh, and a bionic leg for Lehtonen would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
