hhhmmm, guess i must be the only one.
the bondra deal stunk no doubt, but and the kovalev experiment wasnt good either, but there must be something to get us past the second round? i guess i see the potential in our full line-up and think there has to be another piece or two to send us over the top.
i agree what is happening now is spectacular, but thats not going to last. we basically have the same lineup as we did last year, aside from Latendresse and Methot, but where did we go? we added Silfverberg and Zibanejad, but i dont see Karlsson coming in before the playoffs.
i dunno, i guess i dont like complacentcy....

Well if they finish 6th then the second round is pretty much locked up IMO. They need to try to get to 4th place to get home ice, preferably against Montreal who I think they can beat for sure. They're not beating Boston no matter who they add, if anyone.
I don't think they need to add anybody though since the team is rolling and there is no pressure on them to win a round. If they add somebody it should be a depth winger but I don't know who that would be.
but like I said earlier I would have no problem dangling Bishop, Ceci, Puempel, 2013 1st, etc. if we could bring in a player who fits in both short and long term.
I guess I'm just bitter from past deadline acquisitions. Has a single one had significant impact? Bondra, Stillman, Commodore, Comrie, Saprykin, Lapointed, Varada, Ruutu, Barrasso, Leclaire.
Only Anderson has made a difference, or the draft pick we got to draft Lehner from the Leclaire trade.

Semi-retired
Matt Cullen and Andy Sutton were pretty good deadline adds. If you could get guys like that cheap then I'd have no problem with that, but they gotta be character guys who won't mess with anything they have.
No Karlsson...maybe no Spezza. This is not a cup year. They have to be careful not to trade away a great young player unless their likelihood of winning it all is high.
What a Cinderella team needs to go deep in the playoffs is grit and outstanding goaltending. They seem to be doing well in those departments.

If they add anybody it would be that LW for Turris and Alfie. Mike Hoffman was pretty good and showed his amazing speed, but they might want to upgrade there.
I would love adding Jagr, even though he is RW, if the price is right.
Steve Sullivan and Milan Hejduk are two high character players who could also help and might be had cheap.
At least they know that playoffs are basically a lock right now, so that should give them a better gameplan on Wednesday.
dont get me wrong here guys, i like the team right now, but to sit back and try nothing and basically saying "well we had a good year considering the injuries, we dont need to do anything" doesnt sit well with me. a durable winger for the second ine and a bit of scoring puunch for the third line is exactly what we need. no need to sell the farm here, but as EV said, dangle some of the prospect depth and Bishop that we have to get what we need.

When they hired McLean, I didn't know anything about him. However I was super excited because as far as I'm concerned, if he's good enough for Ken Holland, he must be pretty damn good.
I'm not a fan of the Wings, but there's no organization in the league that I respect more.

as for the earlier talk about Latendresse, he is slow but he is very smart and goes to the dirty areas, has a knack for the net. I think he is re-signed for sure.
