And they need to keep Fillpula who is finally developing into a great player so they can put Zetterberg and Datsyuk back on a line together, they play their best when theyre on the ice together

Where do you think Parise lands? I’ve heard a lot of wings fans saying they want him and Detroit has been rumored as a team that will go after him but I think Semin would be good and I think Parise will be going to Minnesota.

In reply to Edd Austin. I don't agree with that. Howard was at his best when we rode him for a lot of games in a row. He gets into a grove. I don't think he's the kind of goalie that works well in a tandem. He's a competitor. He wants to be out there every night.

In reply to Eric.

Uh… what? Where have you been?

The team is nowhere near the cap. They were $16M under it this season (until they recalled everyone and their mother) and have over $20M to spend on next year’s team (unless the cap DOES go down).

Sorry, homey… I’ve done the math. But clearly you haven’t.

Nice article. But do the math. That team is already at the cap – unless it’s raised significantly – and you’re still talking about adding a guy like Ryan Suter AND Rick Nash.Those guys make a lot more than Filppula and Quincey. You can’t just switch them out. And if Nick had any interest in taking a hometown discount, he would’ve done it the last two off-seasons too.

You’ve got to do the math along as you write these things.

We need not only a backup goalie but someone who can push Jimmy a bit. Play some games and put together a win streak as a tandem goalie .. someone like Vokoun? We must get scorers. We have enough skaters and passers. We need bonafide shooter/scorers. Defensively we need size and strength. Without making these changes 2012/13 will be a repeat of this year.

In reply to Ian Power. Especially when he's making $2.8m next year. If he was making half that I'd say he's decent value.
