Your 2011-2012 Redwings

[Winged_Wheel88]

Next year will we even recognize our team?

Players who could be gone:
Lidstrom
Rafalski
Ericsson
Modano
Osgood
Draper
Hudler
Salei

Could be a nice mix of battle-hardened veterans and fresh hungry blood next year. We'll see.

And now we wait for Nick's decision. I doubt one person wants to decide before him.

STAYING

Lidstrom

GONE

Rafalski

Looks like the Redwings are also interested in bringing back Ty Conklin to back up Jimmy Howard in net.

He didn't retire? :confused2: There was a big deal about how last year was going to be his last season. Did he change his mind?

Well I guess he will, but he hasnt announced it yet. I couldve missed something though.

Interesting. Yeah, his Wikipedia article doesn't have him down for having officially retired yet.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Havent heard his name at all though, but maybe you guys could go for one more year with him.

[Cofomike17]

Hopefully Hudler is traded by mid-season for some size and grit

He had better have his shit together. They aren't just kicking the tires on guys like Mursak anymore. They are ready to give them some good ice time.
