im still catching up in this thread

very subtle picture montana!
 
No way does Burke trade those three for Datsyuk.

Just no way. Kabs has another 6 years left in him at the very least of being a #1 dman. Schenn could be a Pronger lite very soon. And Stalberg might be a gem himself. And all for a Russian who makes $7M? Not happening.

I'm sure Columbus would give up Voracek, Stralman, Brassard/Filatov and the 4th overall.

when's the last time a player hauled in 3 top-5 picks and a young 40pt defenseman in a trade?

and why would Pavel Datsyuk of all people be the first?

Who cares where you were drafted? Once the draft is over it doesn't matter where they were drafted especially the further away from the draft you get.

All those players have a lot of potential but only Voracek has a lot of value at this point in time. Obviously the others are good young players but I could name several young (25 and under) players taken after the first round that are far better.

A russian who is a 95 point forward who could win a Selke. A true building block up front.

Detroit never ever ever ever ever ever ever makes this move
 
I prefer Zetterberg myself. And Schenn, PRONGER lite? Wow. Maybe if he learns how to skate, stickhandle and grow a pair of calves that are at least up to a girls standards, you're right.

Have you seen Prongers lower body in shorts? And Schenn's? It is like saying Sean Avery is a Wendel Clark lite. If that is the same kind of thing, then yes, Schenn is a lite version of Pronger. But then again, so is just about anyone.

Please don't lose a lot of your credibility by comparing anyone on our roster to Chris Pronger. Probably the most underated dman of the past ten years. He is still the player most valuable in my opinion, right beside Crosby.

It's sickening how you overrate stuff....really.

Schenn Pronger lite?.....maybe Adam Foote lite....

and 6 more years of number 1 status for Kaberle eh?....I like him alot but he isnt Scott Niedermayer.

Datsyuk might might be the best all arounf forward in hockey when factoring in offense and defense....
 
Alright, no more posting Howard Berger articles.

for the love of virgin mary mother of christ.
 
Schenn is not like Pronger, at all. Schenn is better postionally, but lacks Prongers competivness, and nastiness on the ice, as well as Prongers offensive totals. Schenn is like Regher, a guy who can play 20-25 mins a night, provide shut down D, and be a reliable guy on the ice. If you want to compare anyone on the leafs to Pronger, it's Phaneuf. Phaneuf and Pronger are both slightly tall, both have a cannon of a shot, both are nasty hitters, both are leaders, both are chippy, both have a win at all costs attitude.
