Detroit Red Wings aqcuire Robert Lang
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=74026





Red Wings acquire Lang


TSN.ca Staff



2/27/2004

The Red Wings have done it again. TSN has learned that Detroit has acquired centre Robert Lang from the Washington Capitals for Tomas Fleischmann, a first round pick in 2004 and a fourth round pick in 2006.



Lang is tied for the league lead in scoring with 74 points (29 goals, 45 assists). In eleven NHL seasons, Lang has played in 640 games, tallied 173 goals and dished out 289 assists.



Lang has been in Washington the past two seasons and spent nearly four seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has also spent time with the Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings.



The 19-year-old Fleischmann is among the WHL's leading scorers, with 28 goals and 69 points in 53 games with the Moose Jaw Warriors this season.

LOL yeah just read that on TSN. Doesn't really make sense IMO, since Detroit is pretty good at center as is. But eh, I guess you can't really pass up a deal like that.

Well his point production is going to be stunted now because he's probably playing on the 3rd line. Kovalev would have been a better player for them to get.

And the price was pretty steep.

No his scoring will most likely soar. Because now the oppositions main checker won't be focused primarily on him. And 3rd liner I doubt he'll be.

LOL yeah, Adder's right. Silly Yash.

They did give up quite a bit for him. Good on Washington for actually getting a decent return on a player this time.

Well obviously. Guys like that are a future of your team. Giving up say, Yzerman, wouldn't affect your team in the long-run now, would it?

That's true Cheebs, but if Lang is still young then the Wings didn't give up much.

Lang is proven talent for now, and they know that Yzerman is running out of time and some of their other players are out of time too. Instead of spending money on unproven talent, they went out and got someone who is proven talent...a bold move

Now if only Edmonton could do that

He'll be behind Datsyuk and Yzerman. that means less ice time and less scoring chances.

and no rdd, Yzerman will be a red wing for life. He's the greatest captain in the history of the game and he's worshipped in Detroit.

Yes Yash Yzerman is a Red Wing for life, but his hockey life on the ice is just about done ( ) And Lang is the leagues leading scorer, you don't acquire the leagues leading scorer and put him on the third line. That will be Yzerman. His scoring will continue at or higher then it is already. After losing Jarg, after losing Bndra, having Gonchar out for such a long time, he continued to pace the league. He's for real.

I agree that he should be on the top lines but you cannot split their #1 line right now (Datsyuk and Hull) and because of who Yzerman is, he might be on the 2nd. He'll (lang)probably be on the 2nd though with Yzer switching to the wing.

the thing that matters though is the playoffs, for which i don't consider lang to be a proven performer in. still though they've upgraded their team from what they had and added more then just depth. there's a lot of grumblings here in vancouver about the need to make a deal to take us to the next level, especially considering that detroit, colarado and nashville have made deals to improve their teams heading into the playoffs. if the canucks gm doesn't end up doing anything, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off fans.

you're an idiot yash they've already said they're gonna put Hull on the second line and he's said he has no problem. You don't aquire a guy that's tied for the league in points just to put him on a second or third line. That would be like the bruins aquiring naslund then putting him on there checking line.

Oh my God you are ****ing thick.


I was using Yzerman strictly as an example, because he is OLD and near the END OF HIS CAREER. Jesus ****.


Okay, if I said Chelios instead, would that be better?? ****ing retard.


And yes, Lang will get priority over Datsyuk. Lang > Datsyuk. Lang > Zetterberg. Lang > about 80% of their team right now. He WILL play on one of their scoring lines, so just shut up and stop trying to act like you know how anything works.

how can anyone think that the wings would put the NHLs best points producers as of right now(tied) on the 3rd line? You'd have to be a ****ing moron to think that...this is the Red Wings, not the Rangers.

its also because you seem to think st louis and lang suck because they're not as well known as someone like Thorton.

Its funny that you think the 3 top point producers right now suck...I didnt know scoring goals ment players suck. Thanks for correcting my errors

what the hell are you a Maple leafs fan :foc: Burke has easily been one of the best GM's over the last few years. He has let his talent devlop he's traded for good players. He's got one of the best coaches in the game. If the canucks don't resign him they are really gonna be giving up someone special to the team. He puts them first and I hope they re-sign him. I heard he might go to boston or the islanders next year though
