Perron is simply a vibes acquisition for free if he doesn't even play a game.  I know the guys in the room love him.

 

If he does get healthy enough to play then at least it isn't a Shine or hopefully Rasmussen in the lineup.

the fact that ras can play center and he's cheap-ish is the only reason he's on the team.  

i cant see a world where ras is better than mbn right now.

IF Perron comes back - and he might not - then who sits?

Biadscz to the chargers.

great trade by the bears and terrible move by the bills.  moore was just as likely to get cut and the bills gave up a premium asset for him.  between this and releasing the underperforming edmunds, the bears now open up enough room for lindebaum.

So much of what Detroit does starts with their defense.  Losing Thompson really hurt that and is a big story going forward if he has to miss significant time.  Not so much for the regular season, but it's a deal if he starts to miss playoff games.

Cade has to be better.  26 points on 26 shots is pretty bad.  Funny thing is, he shot well from three but everywhere else wasn't good.  His defense wasn't very good either and he took a few dumb fouls.

Insert the Cade needs help plea here.

LeVert and Jenkins were terrible.  20 and 14 minutes combined, and they produced 0 points.  

The defense on Wemby was bad.  They fouled him 20 feet from the basket a good 7 or 8 times.  He isn't Steph, he doesn't shoot that well where you have to pressure him defensively 20+ feet from the basket.  You could probably make an argument you want him shooting that shot.  Save your fouls for the times he is in the paint.  

come on, we moved up a couple spots in the draft, what other help do you need????

malkin almost decapitates dahlin.  such a dirty player.

they gave up nothing for him so its a not a big deal.

Perron...hopefully we get more than that

 

 

lol.  getting the band back together?

what does perron do?  who does he replace?  ras?  

ummm...cade?  4-12?

very quietly, amadeus lombardi is having a point per game season in the AHL.

I'd rather go after a cheaper Center like Cade Mays... 3 years $18-21 mill?

He can play Guard or Center which makes him perfectly flexible according to how the Lions IOL shakes out...

IMO.

Plus that's a whole heckuva lot cheaper than Linderbaum.

And I believe Holmes' and Campbell's focus is STILL on draft and development and they do NOT want to spend that much money in free agency on one guy.

At least I believe that that is still true...

 

 

then they need to draft some guys worth developing.

Parayko knows that Yzerman is building such a juggernaut that the East will be unwinnable for years to come for Buffalo or anyone not named Detroit Red Wings.

good point.

Parayko only wants to go out west.  forum posters protest that yzerman hasnt done enough to move detroit west of the mississippi.

Win more games.

I solved their problem and didn't even hold a single meeting.

 

MSU did the same thing.

I saw Ras make exactly one useful play in his ice time tonight. I also saw guys repeatedly skating around him as he waved at them going by on rushes.

I'd love to hear McLellan or Yzerman tell us what it is he's doing that we apparently aren't seeing that forms the reason he's getting regular ice time. He has maybe one game every two weeks where he actually looks like an NHL player.

mbn is tearing up the ahl and rasmussen is still playing.  or SHINE is here.  what did he do yesterday other than look menacing?

ras should be in the skybox every night.  mbn should be here in his place.

did compher play yesterday?  i dont remember seeing him once.

and if this team is going to win, seider has to be better than that.  edvinsson too.  they have to play like the best pair in the league they were two months ago.  seider gave up the gane tying goal all by himself (even is ras put him in a ****ty position).

hang it in the louvre.

better yet, hang it in trajan's and JB's offices.

penalty to simon and they lose it.  blowing a 2 goal 3rd period lead to a tired team isnt great.

loser point better than zero point.

bad turnover from seider and its 3-3.

seider hasnt played well since coming back from the olympics.  small sample size, but still...

I saw 'Tim McCormick' and did a double-take. 

he was one of the first michigan basketball players i remember.

eric turner, tim mcormick, richard relford, butch wade.

meh, i'd still put detroit ahead of the knicks.  cade > brunson.

Except if they followed what ALL OF US on here said, we wouldn't have signed anybody. Not Beasley or Tobias last year, who were pretty critical to the turnaround. Not Robinson or Lavert this year. Not Green, who's been a great find. Probably wouldn't have picked Ausar either (my bad on that one).

The Front Office isn't going to bat 1000, but it sure would be nice if the coach could figure out how to adjust to the situation at hand.

sure, we would have signed other players.  like naw.

this year's deadline felt like a wasted opportunity.  they needed shooting.  they got a shooter (in theory) who they dont play.  

theyre going to ride or die with what they have and i dont think its enough.  i think this was a great opportunity to go for it and become the beast of the east, before tatum is back 100%, before giannis goes to the knicks or heat, while cleveland was still relying on mitchell (before they got harden).

as of now, if tatum can come back, i'd say the pistons are the 3rd or 4th favorite in the east in a playoff series.  behind boston (with tatum), cleveland, and MAYBE the knicks.  the reason i say maybe on the knicks is that they might have the one coach in the league worse than JB at making in game decisions.
