Zetterberg was better offensively in the regular season and playoffs than Datsyuk. Just FYI.
Ah nuts.
Man, I don't know how anyone who watched Torres with the Sharks doesn't see how good he is. Even with the suspensions.
He's everything the Red Wings wish Justin Abdelkader was
Really would have liked Torres, do think his history with the league is a problem. But he skates hard and is big with some skills to go with it.
Basically swapping out Clowe for Torres is one of the things the Sharks did well. Also important to note for those who want Clowe with his ridiculous demands.
I know they also moved Burns up, but Torres was a big part of how they juggled those lines and made some things happen.
Know he is hurt all the time, but does anybody think Havlat will hit the market there? Are the Sharks too cheap to buy him out? Curious haven't heard much on him.
Praise the Lord!
Briere is a chippy, nasty little guy. For every hockey hit Torres gives out, Briere gives out 2 slashes. He also had that 30 point playoff run not long ago, so he's at least a guy who can show up in the playoffs. Not that I'm particularly in favor, but it's not the dumbest idea I've ever heard.I know, right? Imagine how stupid they're going to feel when they realize that he is actually physical and hits people, along with scoring goals now and then. Should you or I start a thread on the Wings maybe singing Daniel Briere now that he's going to get bought out because we can never have enough of those smallish players, right?

I'm just not keen on giving anymore 5-7 year deals on non elite talent. I like the idea of Iginla or Briere 100% more than Horton or Clarkson.
Who would want the leading scorer in the playoffs since the big lockout.... Crazy idea.
Briere doesn't mind contact his playoff numbers indicate that. Briere on a short term for reasonable money is a tremendous pickup.
You're the Babcock fan. He's the guy who elevates scrubs like Abdelakder and Cleary to top lines while the Hudlers, Nyquists and Tatars site on lines 3, 4 and the AHL
If you actually subscribe to the coach's views, I can see wanting Iginla... but Briere?
Why?
Anyone else think Clarkson is going to be a giant bust wherever he goes next year?

I do, I think whoever signs him, Flip and most of the other big ticket Free Agents this offseason are going to be disappointed with their investments.

Think he winds up an awful lot like how people in Tampa feel about Malone.
