Red Wings want YOU!! If you're a defensemen.

The Red Wings blue line is kind of sad this year, I mean they have Kronwall who is fairly good, but not the kinda of guy you want to say is your best defensemen, which of now, he is. Lidstrom retiring is gonna be killer, and Brad Stuart leaving won't exacty make matters better.

Naa I don't think they're that bad. I mean, Brandon Smith can be a pretty good defenseman. I just think there's not that star playing D for them so it makes their defense look bad

Re: Red Wings want YOU!! If you're a defensemen.
Kronwall isn't someone you would want as your #1? Have you seen him play? I will gladly take Kronner being the #1 after Lidstrom is gone. Has the defense taken a step back, yes, but so would ANY defense if they lost one of the BEST defense men to ever play. I do expect them to get another one, but to say Kronner isn't someone you would want as your #1 is stupid.
Also, like Hurp said, Smith is gonna be a beast. I am VERY excited to see him play after watching the couple of games he played last season.

He's good, no doubt!! I guess what I meant is if he is like your whole blue line then you might be in a little bit of a trouble.

Re: Red Wings want YOU!! If you're a defensemen.
And I tell you what. From being a Flames fan and also watching the Leafs, I'll tell you that Ian White is pretty good offensively. Defensively... meh. But offensively he can be depended on to score at least 10 goals a season. Kyle Quincey is pretty good all around too

I'll have to watch these guys this season to really know anything about any of them besides Ericson and Kronwall.

I dunno who you've been watching but White and Quincey have been in the league for a while...

I haven't watched a whole lot of stuff, just some red wings games and stuff from last year and other years. I'm just getting into it and all I know is that Brad Stuart and Lidstrom were pretty good defensemen and any team that loses those two are gonna have a lot trouble the following year. That's ALL i was saying.

Yeah I think Ian White led the league in +/- before Lidstrom got injured. Not saying he's going to repeat that, but he's pretty good. Quincey performed, well, horribly, after the trade, but I expect him to rebound.
Kindle I think is in his 3rd year, so either he gets better or he won't be back next year.
Ericsson in my mind is extremely average lol.
But I won't be upset at all if the pairings are
Kronner-White
Ericsson-Quincey
Smith-Kindl
But I'm not to confident in whoever our 7th guy would be. I expect them to add a cheap veteran, for depth at the very least.
