    Cholowski emerges as a legit number one defenseman, puts up over 0.5 points per game and runner up for the Calder. I just want to point out that I posted this 2 minutes before he scored his first NHL goal...

    It has to be better the the Red Wings new mascot s***tee. I can't wait to see s***tee face off against Gritty.... It will be the greatest S*** show on ice (next to Blashill's on ice product)

    Vegas is going to regress, horribly. Not exactly bold as far as predictions go, especially considering they're in the middle of beeing doodied on by the Flyers. But it seems like a lot of folks just assume they'll be good again and I don't buy it. I'm also maintaining a quiet optimism regarding this.

    Realistic Window to Competitiveness

    Agreed. I've pissed and moaned about Blashill in the past. In retrospect, I shouldn't have been so hard on him. Because, at the end of the day, all that matters -- the one thing he'll ultimately be judged on -- is the development of the young players. That being said... Development of the young players in the 2016-17 season? Not very encouraging (at the time), was arguably cause for concern re: Blashill's competence (at the time). Development of the young players in the 2017-18 season? We start to see some results, we start to see some payoff. We start to see that "The Process" isn't necessarily just bumper-sticker bulls***. Consider: Larkin: 63 points thru 82 games Mantha: 48-80 Athanasiou: 33-71 Frk: 25-68 Bertuzzi: 24-48 Hicketts: 3-5 Pretty hard to argue with those results.

    You think this team would be a lot better with someone besides Blashill? This team on paper is bad, really bad. Look at the defense we threw out last night...sure the team has long term potential, but on paper as it currently stands, the team is REALLY bad. So not sure how coaching fixes that.

    PLayoff team in 2 years. Legitimate contender in 4. Nielsen, Abby, and Dekeyser's contracts aren't the reason why this team is bad. This team can absolutely be a contender with all 3 on the roster. They don't need to be traded to accomplish it. If the kids drafted over the last 2-3 years, and the next 2 years pan out, this team will have a good mix of vets and kids with Abby, DK, and Nielsen AND be really good,. I don't know why some people think that you can't have all of the above.. Hypothetically, if Holland becomes Seattle's GM, do you think he takes any of Abby, Helm, or Dekeyser if they're available in the expansion draft? I don't.

    A few things: Any contract can be traded. It's safe to say we're at least a couple years away from being a solid playoff team. At that point, those contracts are nearly up and shouldn't be too hard to dump. The Seattle expansion draft could be a nice relief valve. So, personally, I'm not worried about those contracts. I think people get too hung up on them. If it gets to a point where they're genuinely strangling the team, something will be done and cap space will be opened up. I'd be more concerned about, say, Montreal's situation with Price and Weber.

    My bold prediction? I'll gain 10 pounds (if not more) during the season while I consume large quantities of beer/scotch/bourbon while sitting on my already fat a$$ cheering on our beloved Detroit Red Wings!

    Red Wings: Larkin - 71 pt, 21-24 goals Mantha - 62 pt, 31-33 goals ------------ Awards: Svechnikov - Calder Norris - P.K. Subban Vezina - Holtby Adams - Babs Selke - Barkov Rocket - Ovie and McDavid tie Hart - McDavid Art - McDavid Cup - TBL President - WPG Finals - LA vs TBL ------------ My bold prediction is SJS bust all around. Karlsson - Burns just don't fit right Martin Jones has career lows The Joes are getting old and slow Too many cooks in the kitchen

    For all those under 20, it's not illegal to become intoxicated in Canada and then enter the United States drunk. Don't ask me how I know. No breaks on this hype train
