Speculation: 2013 Off-Season Thread III

[OpRedDawn*]

I am of the mind that I do not want to see Mitchell on the team come October 3rd. /shrug

I'd like to see this tried in the pre-season;
Parise - Coyle - Pominville
Granlund - Koivu - Heatley
Cooke - Brodziak - Nino
any mix of: Rupp, Steckel, Dowell, Veilleux, Konopka, Mitchell for the fourth line.

Koivu is 1C......

Mitchell was awesome last season. I'd too want to see him play more, definately not less.

I second this statement.

Parise - Koivu - Coyle
Zucker - Granlund - Pominville
Cooke - Brodziak - Mitchell
Veilleux - Konopka - Rupp
Dowell



Heatley is traded to Calgary in exchange for Markus Granlund and early release of their new alts so we can finally get updated jerseys in NHL 14.

 

[Minnesota]

I don't think Calgary wants to get rid of Granlund. Especially for Heatley.

We'd have to add.

I think it will be either:

parise-koivu-pom
healty-coyle-one of 3 kids
cooke-brodz-mitchell
rupp/knopka/dowell/steckel

or if granlund can win the 2 center this:

parise-koivu-coyle
heatly-granlund-pom
cooke-brodz-mitchell
rupp/hoppydowell/steckel

I still think F***ing all star will contribute 25 goals this year and when we get to the playoffs IF still healthy we could be alright. I could see all the kids (Gran, Nino ,Zucker maybe even Haula ) 45-60 games depending

Is the goaltending position still Backstroms to lose? Or is harding going to give him a push this year?
