Numbers to the Rafters?- Who (besides Lidstrom) will be heading to the rafters from this era? Osgood? Holmstrom? Fedorov? The discussion started at Nightmare on Helm Street started last night and I thew in a doctored photo to help you picture what could be...

I see Lidstrom (obviously) and Ozzy in the rafters. Federov was a definite until his spat with us that led to him ending up in Anaheim. Holmstrom, Drapes, and Maltby could all make cases for it, but I doubt any of them will unless Holmstrom stays with the team another three or four years and helps us win another cup, Draper and Maltby really have no chance. Zetterberg and Datsyuk are both on a collision course with the rafters, though only time will tell.

Fedorov

His performance deserves it, no doubt, one of the best players the team had and instrumental in winning Cups – but the bitterness is pretty deep, I think.

Still, give it enough time and he might see 91 up there. It will take quite a while for the rift to mend, though.

I agree. If he had resigned with us during the summer, though, apologized, and retired as a Wing, he still may have done it. It’s sad that one of the greatest Wings to lace up their skates in the last 35-40 years won’t get the ultimate recognition from us.
