Is it possibe Z could be switched with Vanek if his play isn't going well?
Of course not. Blash will just put Z back out onto the ice for 22+ minutes a night. That should solve everything.

Welcome to the land of the golden parachutes, where iron-clad contracts and country club loyalty rule the roost. With how they've twisted it into something both frustrating and boring, I can't wait for that stupid streak to end.I'm curious how many like myself are concerned after watching Zetterberg last night. He looked so lost and out of place, especially on a top line. He was a spectator compared with Nielsen and Tatar. I wasn't even angry I felt so sad for him. Every single Red Wings prospect/regular has been buzzing with energy and speed the last weeks...except for Z.
Insane I'm pretty sure Z had the most minutes of anyone this game.
Am I reading too much into one game? Does Zetter just need a few games to get moving better? Is it possibe Z could be switched with Vanek if his play isn't going well?
Yeah but we got Steve Ott and Thomas Vanek.
Horrible GM is horrible.
We also chose:
Glendening-Miller-DeKeyser-Helm-Marchenko-Sheahan-Pulkkinen
Almost 1/2 of our lineup was signed this summer. Like the decisions or not this was a gigantic OS for the Wings.
It's preseason. Z was coasting.I'm curious how many like myself are concerned after watching Zetterberg last night. He looked so lost and out of place, especially on a top line.

Quick question: I took a flyer on Smith in my deep keeper league. It's either him or Campbell for a backup D. I saw Smith's point totals in pre-season but how has he looked? And will he actually get ice time with Kronwall out?
As a whole I'm excited. Can't believe some have such a negative outlook on the season. With the exit of Quincey and Richards the Wings are stronger that's a fact, Nielsen is better than a wounded Datsyuk.
Larkin has world class speed and skills. His presence alone demands the team play a quicker transition game which we see happening. We look faaast! Even the meaningless game last night was entertaining to me. I'm seeing the quick offensive rushes that we wished for more of last season.
We may flop on our faces but I think the Wings are going to be fun to watch.
Quincey was one of Detroit's best dmen last year, he wasn't the problem at all weighing down the defense. Datsyuk, even broken down, was a possession monster and one of the best forwards in the entire league even at his age. I'll give you Richards, but cmon.As a whole I'm excited.

I don't think that's true, but if it is true, it's a harsh reminder how truly terrible the state of the Wings blueline currently sits.

At some point this ridiculous idea of Quincey being a good blueliner will have to die. We see a kid get plucked off of waivers and a rush of posts about how he's really not worth anything to us. Meanwhile, another guy sits on the market for a summer before taking a one year "please keep me out of my van by the river" contract and he's still supposed to be one of our better D.
Zetterberg was abysmally bad. Literally the worst player on the ice, Pulkinnen included. I can only hope the guy was taking it very easy in his first game back.
He certainly wasn't good, but he was probably the most consistent one of the bunch, albeit a very middling level of consistency.
Although it's possible he looked better since he has garbage like Ericsson to make him look better.
Larkin is gonna have to slow it down a bit or he'll be worn out by the all star break again
Kind of an coincidence that injury returning players look bad on their first games.
Let's look what happens after 5-6 games. That usually tells a better story.
I agree which is why I left the clause in regarding I hope he gets up to speed. I notice that not a lot of sympathy is given to Pulkinnen given he only started skating two weeks ago after a major shoulder reconstruction.
So are we thinking Smith gets 2PP duties??
