08:31 AM ET 09.04 | Nicklas Lidstrom and Brad Stuart are out, which means the spotlight will shine a whole lot brighter this season on Kyle Quincey. The Wings traded for their former draft pick Feb. 21, partly because they needed help on defense and partly in anticipation of the likely losses of [Lidstrom and Stuart] in the off-season. Quincey had a hard time with the transition and continued to struggle through the playoff series against Nashville. ... [Quincey will] audition for minutes on both special teams. He's got the skills to move the puck, but he needs to minimize turnovers. The Wings need new workhorses on defense, and as the second-highest-paid player among the corps, Quincey would do well to emerge as one.

Detroit need not worry about their defense. They have Jonas to bail them out of any problems on the blue line.


Go Monster!!!! ;)

Why exactly do we have Brad Stuart's picture in here? He never was a Red Wing even though he played for us for a while. True Red Wing players have the Red Wing logo tattooed on their asses. Stuart ain't one of 'em. He's just a cheap merc for hire.

A little bit of selfishness wouldn't hurt his game, playmaker that he is.
