I think one of the reasons why Yzerman makes such good deals and has such good relationships with other GM's is because when it comes to small moves like this, he does just that. If you offer sheet a team for a player like that, I think you just make an enemy.

May as well have asked me to become a Leafs fan

I'm so sorry Jimmy. I used to like you. It's like I dont even know who you are anymore. RIP brotherman

i'm still 100% convinced that our '02 roster is what caused the salary cap

When did Pastrnak become a Red Wing ??!!

Nielsen should've picked 61 so we could have 41, 51, 61, 71 down the middle

don't trust him, he's a Russian Sleeper. cool story, bro, but... wtf is Reddit?

I wouldn't go that far. I used to watch a lot more hockey. I don't have as much free time these days... I used to watch a lot of CHL games (mostly with Wings prospects), 50-60 Griffins games a season, and every Wings game. Now I barely watch anything outside of Wings games (still don't miss a single game), and maybe 10-20 Griffins games, and nothing noteworthy outside of that... I never voted Trudeau. You hate Canadians? Me neither. I know as much about politics as Jonas knows about hockey...

Kip is like the smartest guy on here, and he served in the military so i love him. But then he votes democrat and works for the feds in DC so I hate him. KRS knows more about prospects than anyone on here, and likes a lot of my posts, so I love him. But then he votes for Trudeau and is Canadian so I hate him. Both of them need to get their s*** together IMO

r/detroitredwings is great for breaking news and fun facts, but reddit conversations are so surface level and lacking depth. Comments like "Yzerman is lit fam, rise to the top" and real discussion goes unnoticed. It's also completely lacking in any sense of comradery or community. On LGW I know who has something between their ears and who's full of s***. I know who favors rebuilding and who favors going for the cup. I know who follows prospects and knows there stuff and who doesn't. Reddit is full of randos and you have no idea who you're talking to on a daily basis. Call it clicky and highschoolish, but I'd say the true hardcores are still at LGW. Only the fairweathers make their way to reddit. Reddit is a dying site anyway... you're about 4 or 5 years late to the party there Jiim. I give it 3 more years before most users have moved on to the next thing. Reddit lost a lot of its luster in the past 2 years as they've tried to go corporate mainstream. Same thing happened to Dig before them. If you like LGW and want something more involved for the time being, go to HF boards. Reddit is s***.

You're forgetting that we already have an elite center wearing that number... So now we have centers wearing 41, 51, 61, 71, AND 81...

Yeah, I mentioned this the day we signed Filppula. The similarities are staggering... They were even drafted just 8 spots apart in 2002.

Agreed. It’s why the ‘97/‘98/‘08 Cups are more satisfying than the ‘02.

Confirmed, Nielsen is being traded...

So Fil is taking back his 51 and Nielson is switching to 81. Nemeth will wear 22

Erne was born on 4/20 Nicccccce

Same reason I gave up watching the Pistons and Lions, but stuck with the Wings. I love player loyalty for better and worse. I don't wanna just win, I wanna win with drafted and trained Wings boys for the most part.

We’ve been waiting for that next trade well over a decade.

I think at this point, it's between Byfield and Raymond. Lucas Raymond is who I believe to be the closest though. Who knows how this year plays out though... Also, it's Lah-friend-year, not Lah-friend-yay...

It's certainly shaping up to be a very deep draft class, but Button is kidding himself if he thinks any of those players are competing with Lafreniere for the top spot. It's a battle for the number two spot in my opinion. I'm sure media will try to hype it all season as if there are players close to Lafreniere, but he will go number one and no one else will be close in my opinion.
