Trading Leddy, Fabbri, Hronek, Ras and Zadina for four 3rds and one 2nd would be awful imho. What can you hope to get out of that? One player that makes it to the NHL? If we were to trade all those guys I would much rather see Stevie making hockey trades. The De La Rose into Fabbri kind of trades.

I hope they heard the cannon yesterday and will put up a better overall effort. Go Wings !!

I came here from hfboards because that place was becoming a wasteland and someone recommended this place but this place is no better. A lot of horrible opinions here maybe the worst ive seen.

Mantha is not Raymond. Neither is Beruzzi for that matter. So you're wrong. Again.

Wow! Ken and Mick are gonna get a HUGE welcome back from me after this game.

We need a #1C to add to Larkin. Its as simple as that. This team should be in full tank mode going forward to get Wright.

Larkin injected Covid right into his vains just to breath it out in Benns face.

Leddy will get us a 2nd and a third. MAYBE a first if a last shot cup contender (Pittsburgh, St. Louis, etc.) has a bad need due to injury. Fabbri is playing good hockey, has a good contract, is versatile, and likes Detroit. Zero reason to trade, but he could bring back a 2nd at a minimum. Hronek, Rasmussen, and Zadina are all <23 yo and have all looked good this season. Zero reason to trade any of these players, but the ask is a minimum 1st rounder.

Agreed, but there is also a fine line (art form really) of dangling players to the market who look like they may have more potential upside and other teams acquiring them in hopes of getting more than the Wings have out of said player vs. keeping these guys in an attempt to get player improvement and showcasing them...when all you may do is confirm to other GM's that these players aren't very good. Sell what you can't see vs. Sell what we have....tricky and that's what good GM's are excellent at managing. I believe in some cases getting something for these guys now is better than continuing to develop or attempt to develop and confirming to other GM's that some of these guys aren't every night NHL'rs.

Yep. That's about as poor as asset management can get right there. But what can you expect from a person who thinks someone creating a fake blueadams account using an uppercase i instead of an l is being hacked? With either of those players, unless someone is willing to overpay for them or they have no intentions of re-signing (Leddy, Fabbri), they have more value staying where they are.

I also think it's time to start using Ned 2 out of 3 starts and have the D focus on using his puck play to help more with breakouts. His puck handling is a ridiculous asset to have. Though sometimes it looks like certain defensemen have no clue how to sync to this. There was one play last night where Ned went behind the net to get to puck and actually had to gesture with his hand/arm for the D man to go to the boards for a pass. Christ.

Zadina has been playing great 200' hockey. I love his game.

Just to T-Bag you a little more Look, Zadina. Busting.

Better D men.

No, he´s not. @kipwinger said the winner keeps him and we lost, so there´s no chance.

Bally sports can suck it

Yup re:Hronek

But not in the AHL. Also I think its easier for defensemen to adjust to the smaller ice than for forwards.

I read this about Edvinsson recently. It was a translation of a Swedish article on Malik's blog (see:https://themalikreport.com/2021/11/08/roughly-translated-via-icehockeygifs-simon-edvinsson-speaks-with-rakapuckars-henrik-lehman) "He’s been praised by [teammate] Ryan Lasch, by most experts, and when I spoke with Dan Cleary, the Detroit Red Wings’ Assistant Director of Player Development last week, the NHL veteran said this with a smile about the successful young Swede: “Take the opportunity to enjoy him, there’s not a chance that he’ll be here for any longer than this season.”

Expecting a big night from Rasmussen tonight. Have to imagine getting that first one yesterday will pump him up a bit. 3-2 Red Wings. Goals from Ras, Suter, Bert.
