    Hey why not? For the bottom six he's a bunch tougher than Elmer or Ras. He certainly deserves his shot like Watson, Dries and Leonard have had.

    Lucas is a play driver and EP40 is a passenger. To his credit, he puts himself in position to score if his wingers get him the puck. RayRay has such good vision and awareness.

    Let me start by saying that I haven’t watched much of the Olympics thus far, but apparently according to some - RayGun is gelling well with EP40…

    I have a limited viewing time of Trocheck as well, and I think he's better on faceoffs and has a nice touch deflecting shots from the point on PP's. They both work on the penaly kill where I would give the slight edge to Copp. The big difference for me is that Vinny gets the PP time and Copp doesn't. I'm just saying there is a w-a-y bigger gap between Thomas and Copp vs Trockeck and Copp. How much we pay for that difference is my biggest question. Sounds like we need Kip and others to wade in with what a trade would look like.

    I honestly get the impression Trocheck (judging from his numbers, my limited viewing time of watching him play, and the fact that he's on the Olympic roster) he's just more than marginally better than Copp.
  14. town123
    If there really is a bidding war, I would hate to give up too much for a guy who is marginally better than Copp. I guess the big question is what would a fair return look like? I have no clue.

    Agreed...The Blues really have no reason to move Thomas unless there's a drastic overpayment which I doubt Yzerman would do...Trocheck on the other hand seems ripe for leaving Broadway and with 3 seasons left under contract he won't be just a rental - however unless he uses his 'Modified No-Trade Clause' to restrict some rivals the bidding war for his services could be hefty.

    I hope you're right... especially about Hughes I think Trocheck would be the guy since the ask won't be nearly as severe as the haul Thomas would require. I would rather have Thomas, but beggars...
  19. kipwinger
    No way, we're trading for a center. NOBODY feels good about Copp as a 2C on a playoff team. I think we're going to land either Thomas or Trocheck (and probably a depth defenseman too). Then we'll make a big swing in free agency next year to land Quinn Hughes, who is from Michigan and expressed a desire to play here. Our top six forwards and top four defenders would be lethal Kasper-Larkin-Raymond Dcat-Thomas/Trocheck-Finnie Hughes-Seider Edvinsson-ASP

    EP40 would still need to waive his NTC which I think is doubtful, as his wife probably prefers a team from the sunny and warm left coast. AlJo has been steady this year and of late has been really good. He deserves the ice time to keep developing. I'm thinking we're not going to do much at the TDL.

    I may be in the minority, but there's never been a better "buy low" time than now for EP40. When I say buy low, it could still mean a 1st, grade A prospect, NHL player, and possibly a lower pick. Also, for the D, Ya, I am being overly optimistic, but I believe Detroit can use a LHD and RHD. Hamilton and OEL fit that bill for now and a couple years down the road. This will make Chiarot LD3 and shelter ASP on the RD3 spot. AlJo and JBD would be odd men out in the press box, but they can rotate in now and then. Also, both OEL and Dougie could also be flipped on one of the following TDL's if need be.

    Ken Holland is so back baybee Is it just me or is Patrick Kane the only red wing that matters?
  26. town123
    Pretty sure Mrs. Panarin wanted LA and nothing but.
  27. kipwinger
    I always knew we were never in on the Panarin thing, it never made sense. We already have a bunch of guys that profile like him offensively. We need a center and I can't help but think we're all-in on Robert Thomas and a low cost 2nd/3rd pair tweener for the right side of the defense.

    When the Wings inevitably trade for a new 2C I think they should seriously consider demoting Kane to the 3rd line at even strength. He's still really valuable as a leader and on the powerplay, but he's not especially good at even strength. I like the way Kasper helps elevate Larkin and Raymond by doing the dirty work, and I'd love to see Finnie provide the same thing to a new 2nd line. Debrincat and Finnie with Thomas/Kadri/Pettersson/Trocheck would be a bear to deal with. let Kane and Copp play with JVR on the 3rd line.

    My dad and I were talking about the team a few days ago and he made the same comparison between Aljo and Hjalmarssom. I hadn’t thought of it but you’re spot on.

    I've been singing AlJo's praises for a while...IMHO he's becoming our version of former NHL'er Niklas Hjalmarsson.
  34. kipwinger
    Seems like the Wings brass likes Ben with ASP. I do think having the veteran there to mentor the young gun is the right call. But I also don't think those two guys should be playing in any high-leverage situations. Enter Albert Johansson with his absolutely stellar play lately. It's starting to be clear to me that whichever defenseman we trade for is going to become Albert's regular partner. I've seen Logan Stanley's name out there, Braden Schneider too. I'd love either of those guys with Albert on a more shutdown-type pair, and leave the sheltered minutes for Ben and ASP. I can't say I hate it. Edvinsson-Seider (Two-way, 25 mins a night) Johansson-Schneider/Stanley/Other (shutdown/hard minutes, 18-20 mins a night) Chiarot-ASP (offensive zone starts, PK/PP duties, and low leverage situations, 15(ish) mins a night) Bernard-Docker (press box most nights)

    With so many wussies on this team, Ben is more than welcome here.

    At his position, this cap hit, and what we get out of him, this is a good deal. A little long at his age but the risk of a year or two extra is probably worth it
  38. LeftWinger
    I believe he’s certainly deserved it. This season, he has truly established himself as a solid bottom four player. $3.8 million compensation isn’t a bad deal for that role. The positive aspect is that, at this moment, I do not observe any No-Movement Clause/No-Trade Clause attached to his contract...but I assume details might not all have been released yet. Who will be the next player signed/acquired?

    2025 Lions Thread

    Jimmybigrigs69 replied to Jimmybigrigs69's topic in General

    I've been waiting to post, but most of the dust has settled now. Drew Petzing - New OC. Spent 3 years on a terrible Cardinals team, and did terribly. However, he's young, best friends with former OC Ben Johnson, and his style fits us, just like Ben Johnson did. Basic: he's a heavy run guy, favoring multiple, even triple, TE packages. Old school MCDC style football. Rumored to be wanted by his best friend Ben Johnson, so unsurprisingly the Lions made him an offer he couldn't refuse the moment the bears season ended Further: we also managed to nab Kafka from the Giants. A college phenom, who also struggled with a struggling giants roster. He's a pass concept guy who should have gotten an OC job elsewhere, but chose us in an assistant role... My assumption is Petzing will run the offense in a heavy run scheme, but allow Kafka to call passing plays. And if Petzing fudges up at all, Kafka can step into play calling, so Dan doesn't have to, like last years morton disaster... Looking at the roster: Lions are $5 mil over the cap. Goffs $69 mil payout will certainly be restructured down to something like $50 mil. So that solves that. Perssonel wise, we have to continue rebuilding what brought us to the forefront: our bread n butter: the Oline. Losing Zeitler and Ragnow was huge, and thinking rookies could replace them was the first serious misstep I've seen brad and Dan make. Rumor has it we are aiming to select Alabama's left tackle early, and Georgia tech's QB late for a backup role. All picks in between SHOULD be additional Olinemen OR linebackers or DBs. I will be insanely furious if we spend any draft capital on a skill position again like last year.

    Breadman Not only does he have chemistry with Kane and Dcat, but he can also serve to mentor the young Buchnelikov, who should be joining the roster next year. And then Kenny can say shid like "butcher muffins it to the breadman" and Mic can respond "WAMO he had the goalie out on Drury Lane"
