I tell ya, trying to draft Zadina, Veleno and McIsaac in NHL 18 is kind of a pain. Zadina and Veleno are both top 5 picks, while McIsaac is a top 10-15 pick.

Honestly, our first four picks all seem like at least somewhat of steals. I’m so stoked about this draft!

Don't forget that PA Parenteau wore #90 at training camp and he didn't make the team. BUT PAP, Modano and Weiss were old, broken, or has beens when they wore 90. Veleno could be the kid to break that curse.

Zadina will wear number 11 that he wore in Halifax, and Veleno will wear number 90... He wore 9 in Saint John (obviously not getting that number) and 90 in Drummondville. Should we just call him a bust now?...

This post is so *** and I like it.

I'd watch the s*** out of that movie. Who plays Emma? Also, Zadina is a handsome bastard as well. Kind of reminds me of Hank in a way... I want to see the "ZZ Top Line" (BertuZZi - Zetterberg - Zadina)

Don’t trade them because they’re on the books and want to simply play hockey and enjoy playing with the team. Holland has called this a rebuild, its not like the veterans don’t know this. They could demand a trade tomorrow for a contender but chose to stay. Quick fixes is exactly what delayed our rebuild from 2014-2017. All it did was delay the inevitable. Vanek and Alfredsson signings were both failures. High draft picks (Larkin) were success. The assistant GM, Kris Draper himself mentioned last season in an interview with Helene and the free press that he WANTED us to lose to get a high draft pick. He also mentioned that he wants the kids to take the spots, so signing a Vanek directly contradicts that. —- HSJ: “You were such a competitive player. Is it tough to want the team to miss the playoffs in order to get into the draft lottery? KD: “Listen, I know they are going to play hard and do everything they can to make the playoffs. They basically want to screw up our draft. Here we are talking about Rasmus Dahlin, a kid that potentially is going to be a franchise defenseman — they don’t care about that. They want to win. But in the end, for us to get better, we have to draft really well and then we have to find some gems. Dan Cleary is out west right now watching Michael Rasmussen and Dennis Cholowski. Those guys have really made some big strides. We hope they can continue in their development, that they have a big summer. We need to expedite this process. We need to get these kids bigger and faster and stronger, quicker, to come in and start challenging for spots. That’s how you get better. We have to draft well. We have to find players.” HSJ: “So you’re rooting for them to play well but come up a goal short? KD: “Ha, I’m not touching that one. I still have friends in that locker room. I know that Henrik Zetterberg is one of the most ultimate competitors that I’ve ever played with. We know what he is going to do. But it’s a tough league.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.freep.com/amp/323124002

If management won't even try low cost solutions, what's the point of even keeping Zetterberg? If you want to turn tail and run then trade him and Kronwall, and Howard. Why not? Personally, I will never be in favor of stripping this team to the bones and throwing it's culture by the way-side. It's one of the few things that makes us better than the Calgarys and Ottawas and all the other s*** teams. We still have championship culture in our lineup. If we're going to see this thing through with the Zbergs and Kronwall's and other leaders in the lineup we have to at least try. You keep these men around to preserve the culture. Build on that culture. Sign a Vanek, sign an Alfredsson, I think they help our young ones reach max potential more than they hurt it.

No I want 2019 top 5 pick. Even with all the players we have right now it’s still not enough to be a cup contender. We lack heavily on defense. We don’t even have a 1D and Holland’s track record shows he is not into trading for it because the 1D market for trades is atrocious.

From Maybe I'll retire To maybe Ill go back to CBJ To,

I am 100% down for this and will post it all over the Red Wings Facebook, instagram page if someone gets this started.

While I am in agreement with the #90, but he actually improved his stats when he went to Drummondville and donned the #90. Maybe that is a good sign.

Can we start one of those online petitions for him to change his number? Maybe the wings media acknowledges our existence if it takes off

Didn't Tatar also wear 90 when he went to Vegas? There's something wrong with the number, I've already given up on Veleno.

They probably think they are playoff ready and go after Vanek

I'd take Mason off their hands for one season to backup Howard, if it meant getting an asset in return. This is exactly the type of move Holland should be looking to make.

*Spooderman*

As long as he doesn't go to Toronto, I'm cool.

Says right things *signs Dan Hamhuis and Rick Nash on July 1st*

That’s how much the reporters care about the poor guy

I have 2 words for ya. BROOKS ORPIK
