Just about half the team. He was towards the top for hits for the Wings forwards.
But your right anyone can join in on a scrum with 4 zebras around...yet if I had a nickle for how many times I have seen Rafalski & Filpula stay on the outside of a scrum in front of the net I'd have a good size boat for this summer. Your blinded by your love for the Wings. Losing Samuelsson makes this team weaker then it was last year if they aren't signing a physical presence.
I'm extremely happy because this opens up cap space to maybe sign a tough guy for less then a million like
Brad May or
Travis Moen but at the same time all this does is leave the 2 million on the table for Holland to sign Hudler. The Wings roster will probably be:
zetterberg - datsyuk - franzen
filppula - cleary - hudler
helm - holmstrom - leino
draper - maltby - abdelkader
Do you really think that is at all tougher? The team got smaller with every guy they lost. 3 forwards lost and they were all 6 foot or above that play a physical game. This team is ****ed sorry to break it to you. The cap this year has screwed the Wings. They will be out in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs and again won't win the presidents trophy with this lineup.
They need
Brad May but won't be able to afford him.
