Good question. Didn't they win the first 6 games, then like lose 5 in a row, then like win 7 of 8 and then drop like 4… so streaky, its bizarre.

Yeah, that's a pretty scary top 8.

Semi-related note: What's up with motown this year? They're as up an down as a early pubescent teenager.

After I wrote that first part I realized it would be better to have Zetterberg in the middle and Filpulla as well.. let me try those lines again -

Franzen - Datsyuk - Hudler
Cleary - Zetterberg - Hemsky
Holmstrom - Filpulla - Bertuzzi

Oh, hell ya, that would be tough to stop. And would give Zetts a boost in my keeper pool, very important.

Interesting rumour! I think Hemsky would be a great fit with the Red Wings. He is such a great playmaker he would fit right in with all those guys who can bury.

Then you have Datsyuk on one line, Filpulla on another, and Hemsky on another and have 3 awesome passers rolling.

Say they could land Hemsky for a 1st rounder, prospect, and maybe (I haven't been following Edmontont too closely but) if the Oilers are still in the market for a d-man, the Wings could add Commodore, Ericsson, or Kindl, or some kind of package like this.

But anyways their fwd lines could be like this:

Franzen - Datsyuk - Hudler
Bertuzzi - Zetterberg - Cleary
Holmstrom - Filpulla - Hemsky

then the 4th line would be made up of Helm, Miller, Abdelkaeder, Eaves, Emmerton
