I'm at the game; tell me about it. I'm just hoping we at least score one.

Come on night shift! Let's hear it. No score. 4:53 P1

Oh, this is a bad "have sex" joke, got it.

I am ready to have this conversation. Although he looked hurt or exhausted last night. edit: it's no secret that we need a #1C with more skill than Larkin

My choices would be as follows in this order: Mike Reilly Alec Martinez Ian cole Jamie Oleksiak Jon Merrill Marc Staal

Here's a microcosm of the Wings' woes: Our shooters in the shootout were Larkin, Gagner, Erne, Svech, and Hronek. Those are apparently the most talented offensive players we had available lol. No wonder our scoring is in the toilet. Also, it's maybe time for us to have the uncomfortable conversation that Dylan Larkin is just not all that offensively talented. He needs to be taken off the half wall on the PP, he can't make plays AT ALL. Starting today Vrana would be in that spot for me.

I would, yes. Because you only seem to operate in extremes. The reality is somewhere in the middle. Throughout ~75 NHL games, his 2-way game is developing nicely. He has shown skill with his playmaking ability, but seems to have lost confidence in his shooting. The hope is that part of his game will continue to develop as well. His shooting % is half of what it normally is, even in relation to his NHL experience before this season. I think there is a good chance that'll come back up. You say Zadina is more of a passenger who needs others to do the work for him. I see someone who is really good at setting up plays, but has nobody to finish them. I think Zadina would be best with more of a playmaking center (not Larkin's string point) and a sniper on the other wing. I believe that is the type of line that would bring out the best in all 3 players. In the end, luckily Zadina is young enough to have a chance to keep growing his game.

I feel bad for Hronek, but really this is a pretty good outcome keeping draft odds in mind

They seemed to get better as time went on this game.

Finally sunk in that he's been traded to Detroit.

Lol, was about to create a 4/19 - Created by an amateur because no-one else did - GDT In the meanwhile... Dammit Helm! And: Of course! Sigh.

Pretty accurate on where we are at the moment imho. If we revisit this in a year from now and Raymond and Rasmussen has jumped up a tier we are looking good.

Zadina was certainly BPA at the time we were picking. I never even watched or read much about him going into the draft because I assumed we wouldn't have a chance at selecting him. But then we did and I was thrilled at our luck. Few months later I got to finally watch him play. Awful. Not deserving of a top 10 pick. Now I know why the other GMs passed on the supposed #2/#3 player. Holland clearly didn't do his homework and should have also passed on him as well like the 5 GMs before him. 1 dimensional winger with pumped up numbers. Boqvist, Hughes, Kravtsov, Bouchard, Wahlstrom, and Dobson would have all been better picks. Keep doubling down on the infinite amount of excuses for this kid... "HIS PLAY AWAY FROM THE PUCK HAS DEVELOPED SO MUCH IGNORE THE DEPRESSED SCORING NUMBERS HES DEVELOPING"... He is indeed developing, but not in any significant way to get excited about. This kid does not have toolbox or the smarts to ever be anything beyond an average complimentary 2nd liner winger. Doubt me if you want. I saw Seider's greatness ahead of everyone, and I saw Zadina's flaws. One is accelerating at mach speed and the other continues to flounder. Color me surprised. I'm still very confident in my assessment... despite the ridiculous outrage levied against me for it over the seasons. Boohoo, your 6th overall was drafted WAY too high for his actual value. Get over it and remove the Wings bias when assessing your players.

Seider has annexed Sweden. Djoos had to flee to neutral Switzerland. The Yzer Solution will soon be realized.
