Datsyuk and Zetterberg are both stars IMO.

				Looks like Niedermayer's retirement is all but official now that the Ducks have signed Schneider...

				T-cleese: why? 

 What prevents them to have Pronger, Schneider, AND Niedermayer? 

 Sounds like a good defense to keep the Cup at home for Duckies, no?

				Tis still possible, without Selanne, but Burke is defintely preparing for life without Scotty.

				You cant compare someone to Scott Niedermayer and Selanne (whom i would put money on both retiring) is hard to replace, but i liked the look of Schneider last year, and Bobby Ryan has performed well in the OHL, whether he will be played at NHL level is another question, i hope he does!

				If Ryan is as good in real life that he is in EHM, then he can play NHL minutes right now! 

 But i haven't seen him this year, so i can't judge

				Not as good in real life. But still very good. He is scary good in EHM....
I think he should have a year in the minors in real life, maybe 2...but  I also would not be surprised to see him play. Although  Ryan Miller's brother may be the guy who gets the nod this coming season.

				We dont need him now with Bertuzzi
I would now give him a year in Portland, he played there for 8 games and scored 9 points.
Drew Miller played 2 games in the finals, and i liked him, whether he'll play is a totally new story, i hope he does though.

				Oh no...with Bertuzzi you will need him. And several others to replace the injury/suspension time. Bert...will....not...help...Anaheim.
Just like he did not help Detroit, Florida, and Vancouver since that infamous day. 
Bertuzzi is useless and done. That being said, I hope I am wrong in many ways. Just don't think I am.
Drew Miller will play.
