yzerman is one secure GM, that's for sure. not selling the farm for a temporary fix was the right thing to do. theyre too far away. they get dominated almost every time they play a good team, especially on the road. larkin goes away and they fall apart. stevie's in it for the long haul, not a 4-1 exit in round one.

wtf????? can the league please do something about vegas' cap doping? mark stone cannot be allowed to play in the playoffs after this. they do this every damn year.

now trade maata.

this. just clearing space.

they wanted size and physicalness, i think. but he's always hurt.

toffoli to the jets for a 2nd and a 3rd.

would you have dealt edvinsson or edvinsson plus a mid round pick for mittlestadt? what about the guentzel deal? it took a conditional first that is likely to be a second, a fourth, and carolina's 6, 7, and 9th ranked (by athletic) prospects. for the sake of argument, that's augustine, mazur, and buchelnikov. otoh, the wings prospects are more highly rated than carolina's so maybe it would be buchelnikov, soderblom, and red savage?

dunno. in reality, i doubt he's actually back on the market to be dealt straight up unless, as you say, it was part of a deal to get a real frontline upgrade. but even then, it is curious to see those rumors.

his production on the 3rd line in vancouver is way down because his linemates arent the same quality as first line flames players. why would it be any better on detroit's second or third line? lindholm's numbers also dropped considerably last year. that's yzerman's calculus. and then do you extend him?

kuznetsov off to carolina. washington and pittsburgh throwing in the towel. elias lindholm allegedly back on the market as things arent working out so well in vancouver.

other teams dont even bother to guard him out there.

how about jesus helps him get a consistent jumper?

its amazing how dependent they are on larkin.

i think duren might end up as andre drummond. if he's andre that knows his limitations that's not a bad thing. if he's andre that thinks he's joel embiid, thats horrible. and to del's point, if he's PAID like andre was here, that's a waste of resources. it all depends on whether he gets a jumper and learns to play defense.

4 years $76 million for jaylon johnson.

im surprised that those who think duren will never be able to shoot think that ausar somehow will. duren is a better outside shooter right now than ausar. ausar's shot is the brokest thing ive ever seen.

he ran out of "mental health" excuses?

how long before husso goes on ltir? he's been out for a while.

come on fabbri.

they have been able to take advantage of colorado's bottom lines. wings have more depth at the bottom. but the top lines are killing them.

the detroit diaspora is real. you see it for every one of their teams on the road except maybe the pistons. but the second the lions were successful they were taking over every opposing stadium. the wings have always traveled well.

it looked like almost half the lower bowl was in red. crazy.

good golly there are a ton of wings fans there.

and now winning!

they can barely keep the puck against colorado. the defense cant move it out of the zone. that's why you dont trade the future this year for an upgrade. theyre still a long way from being a contender.
