Yzerman was super cool about it. Yzerman was the first to speak out about dumb restrictions. I don't think Yzerman agrees with you as much as you probably think he does. If Bertuzzi is traded its because he doesn't fit into Yzermans timeline and his value is at an all time high. Not because SY is butt hurt about a vaccination.

Last season quickly made me realize too many games against the same few teams suuuccckkkkksss. 42 games vs 3-4 teams is too much I think. A home and home vs opposing conference is good. But the split between division and conference rivals needs to shrink some.

It's all coming true. Seider is a Norris caliber stud from day 1 of his rookie season in all zones. And he has the charm/personality of veteran leader. If Bertuzzi is traded on Monday... the writing is on the wall for Larkin. Bertuzzi just turned 27 and Larkin will soon turn 26. If Bertuzzi is traded, Larkin, Vrana, Fabbri, and even perhaps Hronek, are obviously not part of Yzerman's future timeline. We could see Larkin traded as early as next season with his contract expiring. Bertuzzi this year, Larkin next, Hronek and Vrana the year after. Yzerman picked his captain with his very first selection as a Red Wings GM. He's building an Yzerman team, not a what Holland left me team. Raymond and Seider are the new stars, soon to be joined by Edvinsson, Soderblom, and (hopefully) Bedard.

Hopefully just Names. Bertuzzi is my boy.

He looks like the bearded lady at a freak show.
