Sundin has mentioned that he likes playing with Wellwood on his line. I'd like to see those two with Kilger for more than a period; the banger, the mover, and the shooter. Of course I agree, an elite winger would be great, but only if the deal is a good one.
I wouldn't hate seeing Kilger back. I also wouldn't hate Antropov, who's been a kid for too long now. I've never thought of Kilger as a veteran, mainly because he only joined the team last season. However, I'd like him back in 2nd line role. Antropov has been the "he could be REAL good if..." kid for so long now that I'm almost ready to cut bait. But we did that with Steve Sullivan and Freddy Modin and it's come back to bite us in the ass... Unless Steen, Wellwood, and Stajan all become suddenly twice as good, Give them the ice time, and I think Leaf fans will be pleasantly surprised. I'm pegging Steen as the next captain of the Leafs. I can definitely see him slipping into Sundin's spot. Wellwood is a pure scorer, and every team needs that. Stajan could turn out to be the next Brind'Amour. /rose coloured glasses firmly in place
I think the Leafs should actually try to get a legitmate talent to play with Sundin. Just for once. You know, for kicks. Try it on - it might actually be fun - hell, it's only been 11 damn years. Here's a tip - First, what you're looking for, Fergie, is a guy who plays left or right wing and has scored a lot of goals... RECENTLY - not 1996. Like 2003 or better. He's recognized for doing this, and the expectation is that he will continue to do this. Second, DON"T put him on the second line for "balanced" scoring. If you want balanced scoring - get TWO - and let Mats have the good one. Hell, it's worked for some other teams, just give it a shot - what's the worst that can happen? You don't make the playoffs? Crazy.
weedy... question for ya..get sundin a talented winger for once....what??? u don't like alex mogilny...what was alex? chopped liver?
Weedy, I'll trade you Michael Ryder for Kyle Wellwood. How's that?
