Had to see that one coming a mile away. I liked Conklin his first go-round with us.

[Malto Marko]

I hated to see him making a million a year sitting on the bench knowing he could not stop a muffed shot from a Mite player.

Dat's out "at least" 2 weeks with micro knee surgery... Man I hope we can get him healthy and back in shape for the playoffs or we're screwed.

We might need to make a move after all. We need to secure that top spot with the way we're playing at home.

He'll be fine, Jad needs a name again.

If anything they need another defensive center who can handle the faceoffs and kill penalties.

We just lost the best player on the Wings squad to knee surgery in the stretch of our season. I wouldn't write this off. Before this I was totally on the bandwagon for adding depth on D and a "Dallas Drake" type player.

I'd rather have too many guns then not enough.

Chill.

The timing is perfect for Micro Surgery.

He will be out 3 weeks or so and have fresh legs for the playoffs.

The too many guns approach really doesn't work. Its why the Rangers floundered for so many years. If Datsyuk isn't healthy for the playoffs, no trade will remedy this and they probably won't win. There's no need for them to make a trade, not anything major anyways.

Not to mention the Wings haven't been the sort of team that relies so heavily on any one player that they stumble when that player goes down. Hell, they go so deep that even last year, with all the injuries they had, they still kept their head above water and pushed to the 4 seed when all was said and done.

Any other team takes those sort of injuries, they can kiss the playoffs goodbye, much less home ice in the first round.

Good post chemi.

[chemiclord]

I am honestly amazed at how Holland has been able to keep the talent level on the Red Wings deep, so deep that no one is pushed to the NHL level before their ready. I honestly think that helps a lot, and keeps the bust percentage on the Wings way down.

Honestly, how many players have the Wings drafted or acquired that just flat out stunk? Even Conklin gave the Wings something for a while before he fell off the map.

[FCRhodes]

Kyle Quincey is back in town. Some nice depth for the playoff run. Gave up a first rounder.

[froot loops]

Yikes, it is a sellers market. I liked Quincey when he was here last, but he must have gotten a lot better to fetch a first rounder.
