Seasons greetings everyone! Its that time of year again. Everyone's favorite holiday, Leftwinger's Annual Trade Deadline Meltdown Spectacular! That magical time of year where we get to witness the miracle of a grown man lose his mind when his favorite sports team fails to live up to his insane expectations! This year looks to be extra special because Lefty Claus fully believes that Holland will trade no less than 8 roster players. This feels like Christmas, New Years, 4th of July and my birthday all wrapped into one! In order to get everyone in the holiday spirit this year, I thought it might be fun to get some wagers going. Below you'll see a list of the most probable reactions we'll see from Lefty, along with the odds of each outcome that ive scientifically calculated based on past behavior and current level of his delusion (unusually high this year). If you expect an outcome that you dont see listed, please post it below and i'll calculate the odds. Happy Holidays! Epic rant demanding that Holland be fired - 2:1 Promise to quit following Red Wings forever - 3:1 Burn all of his jerseys in a dumpster - 4:1 State his desire for Holland's dead body to be found in a ditch - 6:1 Quit his job in order to stalk and harass Holland's cat full time - 7:1 Joins a suicide cult that believes the only way that the Red Wings will win the lottery and draft Dahlin is for the entire group to ritualistically shave each other's balls and then hang themselves while masturbating to photoshopped images of Tippett and Hague in Red Wings jerseys - 10:1 Quadruple murder-suicide of his wife and children, while chanting over and over, "Born and raised in South Detroit, Born and raised in South Detroit, Born and raised in South Detroit, Born and raised in South Detroit" - 15:1 Massive psychotic break resulting in a persistent catatonic state which requires around the clock psychiatric care, yet somehow he will be back on the forum before next season and will deny anything happened and will laugh it off whenever someone brings up his well documented history of public meltdowns - 25:1 Calmly acknowledges that his expectations were probably a little high and that while he is disappointed we couldn't move out more big contracts, he knows that Holland did the best he could and it's not the end of the world - 1,000,000,000,000:1

It's embarrassing hockey to watch, and it obviously starts from horrible coaching. The plays they make in their own end while trying to clear the zone are beyond ridiculous, I saw at least 5 behind the back passes to nobody by a wings defenseman tonight in the 30 minutes of the game I watched. No we are not Tampa bay, they're way beyond us in every facet of the game. Its the stupid plays we make over and over again that cost us puck possession we have. It totally looks like on most nights these guys are throwing sh*t at the wall and hoping it sticks, and anything Ive heard from Blashill confirm his process absolutely sucks

AA has a lot of speed, but is overrated on this forum. He wasn't a great scorer in Grand Rapids and hasn't been putting up big numbers in Detroit either. He's not irreplaceable.

Dead. This is hands down exceeded every forum post I’ve witnessed.

We’re back fools

Beat me to it. Glendening to Toronto would be amazing.

Trevor Daley is calling... AA is better than either one of Tatar or Nyquist, but he sure seems to be having a hard time getting those minutes.

Yea but hes the only brown guy we have on the team. #diversity

Eklund is the epitome of "throw enough s*** at the wall and some is bound to stick". Zero credibility. The last thing this organization needs is another boom or bust goalie prospect. I know you don't have much faith in Mrazek, but it's still possible that he could be here for another 6+ years. Of course, it's also possible he could be gone in the next week... Regardless, we have Keith Petruzzelli, Filip Larsson and Joren Van Pottelberghe that are all boom or bust goaltenders at the same age as Samsonov. While he looks like he could be the real deal, as we've seen with Mrazek, goaltending is such a crap shoot. I'd rather bank on one of the guys already in our organization panning out, rather than bringing in another goalie at a high price tag. If we're trading for prospects, it needs to be for defensemen, centers, and (right shooting) wingers. Not goalies...

This is the only thought required. It's Eklund. The fact that he seems to expect Holland to trade Green AND AA for a goalie prospect kind of speaks for itself, don't you think?

Suicide? I don’t want you to commit suicide. What would I do without you? Go back to making fun of newbs? No, no, you… you complete me.

No sorry needed! The fact we were elite for so long makes it sting sooo much more though. Having Blash on the bench and Holland backing him up in every way just turns the knife and makes it so much easier to turn elite b*tcher...What Holland does at (or by) the deadline will solidify my feelings for him going forward.

Sorry, I didn't mean to seem like I disagree. Quite the contrary. I was just commenting on the quality of the bitching, by everybody. We deserve to be elite at SOMETHING!

It’s pick on Leftwinger day dude. Gotta have some light fun.

And reminding you that he’s black

Green for Foote or 1st Nyquist for Fabbro Howard for Halak and 3rd LG to Toronto for 2nd Ouellet + 3rd for McCarron

Our DEF sucks... simple as that

Fine by me.

I think I know who this is. #4life

the team we ice vs the team they ice, we will never win lol

That's some quality bitching here, folks!

I'm not too familiar with "The Draft Analyst", but I'm not going to take too much stock into anyone that has Svechnikov going number one ahead of Dahlin... Also, Tkatchuk dropping to 8th? Not going to happen. Stick to the real draft analysts, Bob McKenzie and Craig Button.

Chicago winning the draft lottery would just be a dagger in my already cold cold heart.

If the Hawks land Dahlin I am done with hockey lol. Hopefully the squeak into the playoffs (so they dont get a good pick) and get their asses handed to them again.

Have you ever known a racist to shut up? Ever?
