Thread: Why Wings fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>What Rd are you drafting that's going to be better than Hronek, Sandin-pillikka or reinbacker or Wallinder, you have to use 9 if you want any of them so now your spending higher assets than what you got on Hronek to replace him and it's a crap shoot if those guys are better.</div></div>

We need to use the Draft picks to get a better RD. I have hard time believing that's the reason why Hronek was traded. Hronek puts up points, but struggles a lot when the game gets more physical - In the Playoffs you need to reliable.

Seider will probably soon make 8+million, can we pay a 2nd pair RD 6.5+million? Tampa, Rangers and Canucks are the only teams in the league who have two d-mans on the same side making A LOT of money. And they all have problems to get good players for the other side. We just need to find a reliable 2nd pair RD somehow.

Thread: Can this team make the playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>I mean probably not, just adding pionk and killorn replace hronek and Bert so just a better backup, overpaid johansen and Martinez isn't going to be enough to make the playoffs.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Maybe but probably not.
We don't really need Martinez. Edvinsson just had surgery and will be out to start the season but Johansson should get some time at least to start the season.
I would say this team is better than last year but not by much.</div></div>

Signings and trades are not the only thing that makes a team better or worse. Most important thing in a rebuild is the growth from the young guys - They are the future of the team.
