Speculation: Next year's line-up? (Image)

[Dexter Colt]

I'm no handwriting expert but here goes

• There seem to be 3 kinds of 4s. The triangle, and single- and double stroke field goal types. Both Babcock and Renney seem to use the latter kind.
  
• Neither Babcock nor Renney make the loop at the bottom left corner of the number 2.
  
• Number 9 looks like it could be either one's.
  
• Babcock seems to write the number 8 as two circles. This may or may not be the case on number 18 in that image.

Renney's assumed handwriting taken from here. If it's him, he sure takes care of his fingernails.

The 8s and 1s in my original image in the OP and the one I found on google match up really well. Seems like it's Babcocks handwriting.

This thread is awesome lol.

OMG! I just came home from dinner with friends and found this piece of paper on my coffee table. It must have been Mike Babcock who wrote it!

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Apparently Mike Babcock is now the lineup fairy.

 

[Vladdy84]

This is all silly. Everyone knows that Babcock would have hearts encapsulate 41 and 71.

I'd experiment with the lines a la Bowman, and probably start out with this.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Alfredsson
Nyquist-Legwand-Franzen
Tatar-Weiss-Sheahan
Abdelkader-Helm-Jurco

Reserves are kind of a question mark. Glendening, Miller, Callahan,
Dumping the three geezers: Cleary, Bertuzzi, and Samuelsson.

Kronwall - E
DeKeyser - ??
?? - ??

I'm all for trying out XO or Sproul at this point. Or Marchenko. Realistically, KFQ is probably coming back. Defense is a giant glaring hole that needs fixing.

Monster
Howard (bench his ass for a while, he's earned it)
Mrazek gets call ups.

Thought this deserves it's own thread (Jaster's idea actually)

Don't know much about the guy who broke this, but apparently this was left in the Wings media room.

If those are the lines next year, or for the playoffs, I'd be pretty stoked.

He writes for the Freep, highly doubt this has any ties whatsoever to anything the Wings have planned. Let's get Helena St James to ask Holland about what it means.

Khan might be the only guy covering the Wings who is reliable for info on future moves.

But whom do you have as your 4th line right winger? Based on the symbol in the original post I can only assume we are signing the artist formerly known as Prince this summer. Kenneh does love his old guys.

 

[Run the Jewels]

It is pretty awesome that Alfie has a minus next to his name though.

 

[Kronwalled55]

Guess Samuelsson is coming back

 

[crashman]

Can we please not resign Alfredsson

I know he's gonna be 41 or whatever, what better wingers can you sign for $5m? Vanek, Hemsky, Moulson? Those guys are gonna get paid bigtime, and Holland probably won't get in a bidding war for any of them. Hemsky might be a possibility if Alfredsson doesn't return, but even at 41, Alfie might be the better player.

It's obvious that Cleary and Sammy are done here, and I think it's 95% likely Bert is too.

TBH, the only thing that concerns me about our forward situation next year is what happens with the health of D & Z, and how the Weiss/Legwand situation plays out. I really don't see the point in keeping both of them, but we're probably stuck with Weiss. Weiss has a ****-ton to prove next season, he's been such a disappointment thus far.

How do you figure?

He's always worn #37 when he's played here.

I think his point is he isn't even listed on there, even in the "gone" area.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Guess Samuelsson is coming back

new PP coach.

The circled forwards must be guys who don't have to go threw waivers and could be sent down (Jurco, Anderson, and Gledinning)

Couldn't say Ott could it? Hope not...

 

[YostisHome]

Seeing 44 and 71 both crossed out brings me great joy.

My thoughts exactly.

Andersson is no longer waiver exempt. And Glendening won't be either, if he plays 11 more games this season/playoffs.

So something I just noticed...

The original image we're analyzing has not one but TWO kinds of 4s. One used the fieldgoal style. The other the triangle. I don't know many people that switch between those seamlessly. I think we're looking at two different people... plot thickens.

The second 4 is actually a 9 and they're bringing Fedorov back.

 

[Glock22erDRW]

How the HELL did that video not include the Super Troopers scene? Just..... for shame.

I was thinking the same thing!! Enhance... Enhance... Enhance... ahahaha, what a great movie!
