Red Wings January 2026 Game Threads

[lordstanley]

The drought is going to end. Teams 10-16 in the East are 11 points or more behind the Wings with 31 games to go for the Wings. 9th place Leafs are 9 back, I don’t think the Wings have had this much of a playoff cushion, not even 2 years ago in February. Teams 5-7 are 7 back of the Wings. The Wings are not a great team or even a very good team but who is? In the East, I think only Carolina and Tampa are better.

AlJo had a decent game last night..SM must have thought so too as he was out there in some key situations.

I think this is the year we make the playoffs..adding Petersson would give us a hedge against Larkin getting hurt again in March.  EP has been a 1C before

When he started on that play he looked like Jim Marshall from that wrong-way touchdown,   WHY ARE YOU GOING ON A BREAKAWAY IN THE WRONG DIRECITON, IDIOT................AND THANK YOU.     Mo saw it and used it.

What would you trade for robert thomas?

danielson, buium, first and a third?

Outside of his work with Santana I've never been a huge fan

Non-joking, I'd rather do a package of picks and a different prospect than give up Danielson in a Thomas trade.  I honestly have no idea what Thomas' value is on the trade market.  He's an intriguing piece at his age and contract and I think he'd be a great addition to the Wings. 

Top 10 protected first round pick, second round pick (or two), maybe a future first with top 5 protection? Maybe you can entice them with Plante's great season so far?  Feels like it would need to be more than Vegas got for Hertl but maybe I'm wrong?

If it's a 2026 1st I don't think it needs any protections (just guessing... but I don't believe 2026 will end up as a top-10 pick...)

For a future 1st... yes, I would want top-10 protection...

Also, I agree not the closest-to-Detroit prospects, ruling out Nate & Buium.

But we have different levels of "interesting" prospects lower down with Genborg, Plante, Buch, Bear, Johansson, etc., etc.

PS: I guess add in Postava, Gylinder, Tuomisto as possibilities... just to see if they bite. Most likely not, but...
