The Wings have ...Trade Filppula? Surely you jest!<br /><br />The Wings have 2 very serious problems coming up in this and the 2 seasons following. First of all, and more obvious, is the cap issues. In that regard, they have a few less team-friendly contracts coming off the books in the next 2 years, and Fil himself has a pretty fair or even slightly team-friendly contract. <br /><br />Secondly, this team is getting old. Up front, Homer and Maltby are likely to retire after this season, Draper the year after, and Zetterberg/Datsyuk/Franzen/Cleary will all be 30-34 years old. Fil is the only one of the forwards currently signed for more than 2 years who will be under 30 2 years from now (He'll be 27). He is already an important part of this team, and that role figures to grow, as he's pretty much allowed to run the 2nd line for at least the next 2 years. <br /><br />Trading Fil would be a huge mistake, because it would be trading off one of the most skilled young players, unless the return was very very huge. It'd be better to let Fil play up and down the lineup, as he is a pretty good in both ends, and deal off Cleary or let Homer retire.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029838572461461039.post-36205784859273276552009-08-19T19:03:50.384-06:002009-08-19T19:03:50.384-06:00That's why it's great that you guys have p...That's why it's great that you guys have players like Cleary and Holmstrom, that can play anywhere from in the lineup. I can see the Wings trading Filppula, especially after giving Franzen the extension and having guys like Leino and Abdelkader who can step into the lineup right away.raventalon40https://www.blogger.com/profile/09882869475576224211noreply@blogger.com
