[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Justin Abdelkader for sure.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

This will likely be a landslide victory for Justin Abdelkader. That is insane to me considering how much a lot of people (myself included) hated having him in the top 6.

 

[Frk It]

Could make a legitimate case for Franzen, Abby, or Tatar here IMO.

Have been messing around a lot with line combo's lately, and ya know, I am having a hard time coming up with some that really strikes me as a perfect fit across all lines. We have a lot of depth, and it makes it really hard.

 

[SoupNazi]

Abby.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Abdelkader, although Franzen-Zetterberg-Nyquist was absolute money 18 months ago before the first two got injured.

 

[PelagicJoe]

I voted Tatar, but also forgot that Datsyuk isn't the #1C right now. So... tie between Tatar and Abby.

 

[LarKing]

I'd say Franzen just because he doesn't work with Datsyuk or the bottom six well at all.

 

[ProPAIN]

I'd put Abdelkader here to get some net-front presence and give Z and Gus some space. Eventually I would want Datsyuk here and Abdelkader would be demoted to the second or third line depending on the needs there.

 

[Vladdy84]

I'd roll with Mule depending on how he looks. Then Gator over Tats for depth purposes.

 

[Retire91]

This will likely be a landslide victory for Justin Abdelkader. That is insane to me considering how much a lot of people (myself included) hated having him in the top 6.

can still count me in that camp voted Franzen

 

[Larkin1578]

I voted Tatar, but it's more than likely going to be Abdelkader
