To me, both sides suck in that situation. Babcock really did not like Commodore and definitely did not help his career. Commodore also seems wayyyyyyyyy bitter over a lot of things and has had some wild drunken twitter rants about Babcock that have not made Commodore look good. I think LS has it right.

I am encouraged that he made a confident deke at the blueline to set that up, hopefully this gets some momentum going for him.

The only thing I can guess at is that they need scoring at the AHL level, but it looks like they're in 7th place in their division so still seems random. I guess Criscuolo's cap hit is around $100k less than Weatherby and the Sharks have less than a million bucks in cap space, so this could offer slight flexibility in the event of a call up but that's probably grasping at straws. This at least helps the Wings with the veteran logjam in the AHL too, hopefully no more Vrana scratches.

Red Wings acquire forward Jasper Weatherby from San Jose Sharks Exchanged for forward Kyle Criscuolo, Weatherby recorded 11 points in 50 games with Sharks during 2021-22 season Weatherby is 24 and Criscuolo is older so I guess it is just getting younger in the AHL?

I fully have my prospect homer glasses on but I think Kasper and Wallinder should both be higher for sure. Berggren feels low. Actually pleasantly surprised at where Edvinsson is. I think I saw in reddit comments that the Wings had the second most players on the list to Buffalo.

Guess I need to figure out a way to read these rankings now 😂

Maybe he'll turn into a prolific goal scorer like ol Paul:

From a couple weekends ago:

Think I am turning this one off....got work to do anyways sadly

Avs look like they're on a power play at 5 on 5, 3-0 Colorado

This early start really caught me off guard, already down 1-0 to the Avs

Before this season I would have let Walman walk/trade him this season but I honestly love how he's been playing... I love the lineup Buddha posted but I wouldn't be shocked if yzerman wanted to resign Maatta, for some reason I keep expecting it. I would agree I think, I would love them to get him some sheltered minutes though. If he keeps up his strong play that he's done recently in the AHL for the rest of this season, I think it would be good for him.

Ned clears

Meh, I'm not concerned about the WJC especially after the weird covid tournament before this. Our best prospects stayed home by choice to play in men's leagues so I don't see how that is anything but a positive in the context of the WJC. Even with Sweden cutting LDN (honestly still shocked about that he was a former captain for them, their federation seems like a mess at the junior level) the Wings have a couple players in Anton Johansson and Maximilian Kilpinen who should step in for Sweden next tournament. Lets do some prospect videos for old time's sake Wallinder really has been playing in all situations, his development is very exciting I would like one or both in Detroit next season if possible.

Welp now Vrana is scratched a second GR game in a row I have no more positive spin to offer

Seider hits them with a late power play goal and a hand to ear celebration, take that Leafs fans!

What a hilarious empty net goal for the Wings, hopefully that ends it

I was always a terrible skater (grew up a goalie) so I feel like my wife can appreciate how little I mean it when I say it haha

As I tell my wife every game, I would have just simply scored it I don't know why he didn't just do that!

Bert should have at least two goals but he keeps whiffing on everything

FABBRI! 3rd goal in the last 3 games, PP strikes on the 5 on 4!! What a beauty pass by Berggren, man he's playing well right now.

Squandered a short 5 on 3 cmon, Seider hit the crossbar so hard the puck landed outside the zone

Wings up 1-0 right now, was just thinking about how bad their PP has been then they bust out a great play....for Bertuzzi to whiff badly on an open net!

Mantha is getting scratched now in the NHL so that trade is a mess!

I've read he looks / has looked reallllllyyy out of shape so hopefully that's a big reason for his lackluster play. I was hoping he would be scoring like crazy against AHL competition.
