It's hard to believe the team that won Cups with Joe Kocur and Darren McCarty could use some muscle, but this is a skill team now and teams can push the Wings around. Brad Norton was an early-season spot enforcer, but the Wings like tough guys who can give them regular shifts. Gary Roberts? Bill Guerin? Owen Nolan? Keith Tkachuk? Martin Lapointe (again)?

GM Ken Holland has more cap room, nearly $5 million, than any other contender, so the Wings are likely to be buyers, especially now that the Predators have landed the huge Forsberg fish. With Dominik Hasek, Chris Chelios, Matt Schneider, Pavel Datsyuk, Kirk Maltby and Robert Lang staring at unrestricted free agency, Holland can be aggressive, knowing he'll have even more room in the off-season.

interesting. Detroit will have a ton of UFAs this off-season.
