slothfacekilla Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Vrana is practicing on line 2, they broke up the Guelph line and Bertuzzi is back to line 1 and Zadina to line 4. Quote

I'm really losing hope for Zadina - he doesn't seem to have any skill at placing a puck in traffic, whether that is a pass in traffic or a shot on goal anywhere other than the goalie's chest. Quote

slothfacekilla Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 I knew exactly what the responses were going to be to my post 😂 I hope Vrana gets cleared to actually play Quote
buddha Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 from wiim boards: would you do bert for lafreniere and picks? ummm....i dont think the rangers would ever do that even if lafreniere has underwhelemed to this point. i was hoping florida would get stupid and do luddell for bert but....dare to dream i guess.

Ya I can't see the Rangers doing it even if it makes them better right now. 1 hour ago, buddha said: would you ever take raymond off line one and out vrana on it next to bert and larkin? that's a ton of speed and a puck chaser on the top line. It would be tempting but I would be worried about messing with Raymond. Vrana's speed and shot probably plays anywhere in the top six. He'll probably have some growing pains over a longer stretch of time but he seems like an exciting player if given minutes and an offensive role. I honestly want to see Vrana play with Zadina (I know I know) just because they allegedly play well together in international play. But honestly I'm excited to see Vrana anywhere in the lineup hopefully soon. 1 Quote
slothfacekilla Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Oesterle - Hronek could be an adventure. Blash really likes Erne on line 3 no matter what. I thought Rasmussen looked much better at wing so I was hoping he could stick there. Discord is down and work is slow so apologies if I post a bunch today! Quote
1984Echoes Posted March 8, 2022 Author Posted March 8, 2022 My 2 cents on the Blueliners would be: Seider-Staal (Staal can stay at home on D whilst Seider carries the play. But really, we need a better player for 1st pairing with Seider. I'm ready to dump Oesterle, drop Staal to 3rd or 4th pairing, and give Sebrango/ or McIsaac a shot at pairing up. Let's see what they can or cannot do (basically, let's get ready for 2022-23). Or maybe it's Juolevi here... but, I start him out with kid gloves before considering anything more). Hronek-Leddy (offense only tandem but... why not?) Lindstrom-Juolevi (I just wanna see what he's got...) Stecher-Oesterle Quote

slothfacekilla Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I am interested to see how long of a leash Blashill gives Vrana. He just had a really rough shift in the d-zone where he kept looking to fly the zone instead of being available for a pass or supporting. Kinda just led to the second Coyotes goal because it led to a sloppy change and being hemmed in their own zone. It did look like Vrana - Suter - Zadina got a shift together though. Names got dropped to line four with Veleno and Gagne at least for now. Quote
slothfacekilla Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Ya Blash has the line blender going like crazy right now. 3-1 Coyotes I think I'm turning this one off Quote
buddha Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 lindstrom gets the stick knocked right out of his hands and then zadina stands there while chychrun walks right last him to knock in thr rebound. embarassing defense. Quote
lordstanley Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 4-1. 3rd time in 11 days the Wings have switched goalies mid game Quote

It's why I wouldn't mind making a play for Chychrun. But I don't think we have the right assets... Quote

1984Echoes Posted March 9, 2022 Author Posted March 9, 2022 Yeah, I know your thoughts on him... But he's not a UFA; in fact he's signed through 2025 I believe. Definitely not a FA which is why their asking price is so high and they're in no rush for a deal because they have time/ no pressure. Quote
lordstanley Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 If the Wings don’t win the draft llteeey, I’d like to see who we could get by trading our pick, which should be around #10 overall Quote
