Wheelhouse Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The season is over and the Red Wings are champions once again. What does your team need to do to dethrone them next year?

pollux Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The Habs will most likely let go of Smolinski, Ryder, and Brisebois, and will ttry to sign Streit before July 1th.But for the first time in a lot of years, they have the young core this team needed to attract some big free agents. Amongst them, I believe they'll try to sign Sundin and/or Selanne. Teemu would play great with Saku.

But I believe that the Leafs Nation would label him as a traitor!Coming from Leafs Nation and as a Leaf fan, many idiotic Leaf fans automatically put the "traitor" label on everyone who leaves the team via free agency... Curtis Joseph, Joe Nieuwendyk, Gary Roberts... just to name a few from recent years.So, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mats Sundin receives the same treatment from these fans.

maz Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Could be a rough off season in Pittsburgh:http://www.nhlnumbers.com/overview.php?team=PIT-DanAnd that is why many of us pens fans felt that it was this year or never. Some of those guys will be gone, unfortuately, they are also hard to replace.I want them to keep:Orpik (though, he doesnt like Therrien)LaraqueRoberts (though hes definately in retirment territory at his age)Hall Ruutu MaloneHossa (He says he likes it here, and he fits in well. Hopefully thats enough to lure him out of other really juicy offers he will get, especially after proving he definately is not a playoff choker)DupuisConklinI think they will keep:OrpikRoberts (Only if he wants to play another year or so)Ruutu MaloneDupuisConklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmackman Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hey if I change teams this year do I announce it in this thread? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle.

Cujo Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hey if I change teams this year do I announce it in this thread?You probably could, but I'm not sure if any of us would notice. As for the Oilers, I can't see them doing much this off-season. Maybe they'll trade Souray and Hemsky away for more prospects, but that would make too much sense.

The Oilers are loaded with prospects, all fighting for decent ice time (Nilsson, Cogs, Gilbert). Why give up a guy like Hemsky when veteran presence and production are what's needed?What's truly in question over the Oilers' offseason is what to do with Pitkanen.
