Free Pressin Helene St. James, joka yleensä ei juttele tyhmiä tietämättään, kirjoittaa näin:
What White will do is challenge Ericsson, whose new contract pays him top-four defenseman money. Whoever doesn't squeeze into the group anchored by Nicklas Lidstrom, Niklas Kronwall and Brad Stuart will make the third pairing that much more offensive. The other third-pairing guy is likely to be Mike Commodore, the 6-foot-4, 233-pounder whom the Wings spent all of $1 million on for one year. Brendan Smith, the Wings' first-round pick from '07, is going to be pushing for minutes, too, so long as he has a good training camp. Plus there's Jakub Kindl, although he could well end up being traded.
Onko näin, tietävämpiä näkemyksiä? Smith alustavasti jo ohittanut Kindlin arvostusasteikolla? Ja Kindl jälleen yksi pakkiprospekti, josta ei tullutkaan mitään muuta kuin halpa treidi? Voehan Jiri Fischer, jos näin on.
