| Re: Wings Ink Datsyuk - 7yrs Calder is the type of player the Wings needed. He has unrealized upside. The guy is a potential 30+ goal scorer on the right line. Williams never seemed to be able to reach his potential. We're talking about a player who has plateaued. I think that is a lot of money for Dats as well, but bear in mind that if he has a few more seasons like this one in him, it's not a bad investment. I'm just worried that the Wings may put there money into a couple of players and one injury could sidetrack the whole thing. Then again, building an "equal share" salary environment like the Pistons is easier said than done. One day I will bone up on the NHL CBA. I'm sure it's interesting reading.

| Re: Wings Ink Datsyuk - 7yrs Yeah...I know the stats...Philly sucks. But Williams had a pretty good year in 05-06 & decent this year before the trade. Contrary to him plateauing, I felt he was just coming into his own...tough to do with all of Detroit's talent. Calder may prove me wrong...I hope he does it in this years playoffs. |

| Re: Wings Ink Datsyuk - 7yrs Well, if it eases your mind at all, pro-rate Calder's #s to 82 games and you have 55 points, +18. Williams had 58 points in 05/06 and a lower +/-. Plus, Calder is a scorer. I'm so amped to get a healthy Wings team into the playoffs. I think we can do some damage in the West.
