We basically got Leddy, Vrana, Ned and Cossa for Mantha and Bernier! (all while throwing around picks here and there!)

Yah, Yzerman was a boss last year with Vrana+Ned

Yes, we can do both for sure. Last year we technically sold some vets for picks and also bought Vrana (stole actually.) It can be done, especially by Yzerman!

Huge pass on Kane. Way too high of value on DeKeyser. He stays and retires a Red Wing. I could see Stahl getting a 3rd if the Wings include a later pick. 4th or 5th. Same for Namestnikov. Trade him and one of our three 4ths for a 2nd. Leddy would likewise need a pick attached. He isn't getting a first on his own. The team has depth. And a plethora of players in the development pipeline. We need to move our later picks to try to acquire elite talent, not just bodies anymore. We need to aim for really high-end forwards. We have ten defensemen with the potential of top 4. We have like four forwards with first line potential, with some guys already graduated and aren't looking like they'll quite make it there (Zadina/Rasmussen/Veleno).

I dont mind that Rasmusen doesnt score if hes playing well defensively what I cant stand about big ras is that a breath of wind knocks him off the puck. Hes way to passive/weak for such a large man. He spends more time on his knees than a $3 *****.

Well to be fair, we can say this about ANYONE that’s not working out.

"The Streak" is over. No more trading away assets for the purpose of being an 8th seed. I am ok with trading pending UFAs, regardless of return, for one more year. Still got some holes to fill. Sell, sell, sell. Draft, draft, draft.

100% agree, he has that bomb but is not using it often enough. On that 5 on 3 he had three or four consecutive shooting opportunities put passed every time. Probably he needs the urgency of OT to score.

Seider in OT. Awesome!

Red Wings 4, Islanders 3 (OT)

Prolly some hot dogs.

There have been some 2 page GDTs lately. NO thanks to you....... Be the change you want to see man. Reach for that rainbow.

good lord what a shot. love that kid!

Bullet Seider

I know he’s a winger so the comparison is not 100 apple apples but kid has better board work, edge work. IQ, and def better hands than Rasmussen already.
