acquiring him would be a HUGE leap of faith.
but where there is this much smoke, there has to be some fire. if the wings are truly interested in him, they must think they can tap into that potential in a way vancouver cant. that the wings locker room and history with swedes will bring him out of his funk.
i get it. but it would just kill me for a team hell bent on acquiring guys "hard to play against" and "tough" would acquire the softest player in hockey. if they do, it better be because raymond and zetterburg and lidstrom think they can motivate him.
i'm pretty sure some of you have said this already.
but i have my doubts.
