We all know that Parise and Suter are the top targets of the Red Wings this off season. But what if you could only get one of them? Which one is more valuable; a top flight, team leading winger or a shutdown, big body, 25+ minutes per night defenseman?

I don't think I need to detail all the pros and cons of each player, but forget about all the other of season issues. Forget Homer, Hudler, Abby, Helm, Quincey, and even Lidstrom for a minute. Which signing is more important to the Red Wings now and long term?
