Sherwood was scary to me if you were counting on him for anything outside of a lot of hits. 121 career points in 309 games, shooting the highest shooting percentage of his career. For a guy who doesn't seem to drive play and is supposed to be a complimentary player, having only two assists at 5 on 5 this season is crazy (six total!). I'm not saying he's a bad piece I just was not sure he really adds what the Wings are missing.

Just gotta focus on the cap going up 😂 Trades starting to happen I guess

I think there's a chance he could bounce back in the right situation. He's obviously not built to be the go-to guy on a team and not a leader. If Vancouver retains a bit of money (they would need to with their reported asking price, 1st round pick + top 2 center + another asset) and a team slotted him on their second line maybe he finds his offense again. Detroit has a handful of Swedish guys that might make him feel comfortable, and vets who can handle leadership and the media. It is no doubt risky as hell and not ideally what I would want to do. It's just tough to acquire high end talent and if they can somehow use his current play/slump to make it happen I think I'd be for the swing at a first, danielson and another mid prospect. He also has a NMC so it'll be interesting to see if anything even comes of it. Plus Seravalli is wrong A LOT

I've been talking myself into EP lately because it feels like an attainable asset. Still a scary proposition though.

Nah, Elmer 😉

He also has been telling teams he wants to go to unrestricted free agency for the first time and won't extend. I'm sure Tater would have been thrilled if the Wings traded for half a season of Anderson and he bolted after they didn't win the cup. My dads turned into this type of fan where he rips on Yzerman for not doing the impossible (was very bent out of shape they didn't get Marchment when the Stars admitted they shopped him to only two teams), people think this is just a video game and you can force any trade or signing you want, it is crazy.

Maybe it is just me but I feel like Larkin has looked.....pretty bad the last few weeks from what I've seen? Routinely losing his assignment in the defensive zone, things like that. I don't know if he's hurt or what but at the very least the team seems like they can win without him playing his best so that's good. I feel like the wings largely have been sitting ASP late even when he seems to be having a stronger game. I don't know if they're managing his workload since I don't think he's ever played this many games especially against heavier competition or if it is just purely a lack of trust. It seems like they just roll Seider - Edvinsson then Johansson with one of them for late stages of games.

Hopefully this gets Marco going, I thought he looked good overall tonight

Marco f'n Kasper, that was beautiful

Always a fun time when the racism wing fights with the antisemitism wing. Imagine being on the same side of these people and thinking you aren't human scum.

Good work down low, gets in good position for his shot Lombardi back

Would be a big blow if Chiarot missed meaningful time

No thanks on Arthur Smith. In my eyes he seems like someone who thinks they're a lot smarter than they are and he seems like he gets obsessed with random JAGs instead of feeding his top talent (which once again feels like he thinks he knows better than everyone else). Maybe I'm off since I'm probably coming from a fantasy football slant but I've never been a fan of the guy.

lol

Gostisbehere went down so easily, that's the risk you take when you try to sell a call when you're defending the front of the net.

JVR makes it 1-0 Wings on Fedorov night!!!

anotha one

I'm shocked it took Bootlicker1 this long to bring up Kirk

I remember when people were telling me the Senators finished their rebuild better and faster than the Wings

edit: double post

It looks like the most he ever PK'ed was 13 total minutes back in 08-09.....I'm honestly surprised he racked up that much time in a single season. I legit assumed he just never did it.

JVR is playing really well lately, pro scouting seems to have had a good offseason for once
