B Jo is staying YO

Agree and theres no reason to think Danielson and/or Kasper can't become exactly that. Neither are likely to be elite offensively but both should be really good 2way Cs - really good in the d-zone and more then capable in the o-zone.

You guys are getting carried away. We DO have a legit 2C in Compher. Look at Tampa's 2C (Anthony Cirelli) and you'll see exactly how Yzerman (and Lalaonde) envision the role being filled. Lalonde has already said that he was a huge fan of Compher before he was even signed by the Wings. These guys like their 2C to be extremely good in the defensive zone (Compher is) and must be able to carry water offensively (Compher does).

If we don't have a legit second line center between Kasper and Danielson, the entire amateur scouting staff should be fired

That trade is a HARD no.

Because I was merely pretending being regarded. Its the flag of Chad.

Why dont i understand the reference?

I really like Lindholm too, but I'm starting to think he's just a clone of Compher. Like, if you put Gaudreau and Tkachuk on Compher's wings COULD he score 80 points? Based on what I've seen this season I don't think it's out of the realm possibility. I think teams are built all sorts of ways now, and I don't think that's a bad thing for Detroit. If we want a center that can essentially make up the difference in production between Compher and Elias Lindholm why not trade for a dude like Tommy Novak and let him center Kostin and Sprong? I guarantee you'd get a bunch of points out of it and you wouldn't have to give up Lindholm level assets. IMO we don't really need to address our centers at all. Put Guentzel and Kane on Compher's wings and I suspect we'll have a really great 2nd scoring line AND they won't get caved on defense. But if I absolutely HAD to bring in another center it would probably be someone who can replace Veleno, not Compher (who is fine at 2C) or Copp (who is fine at 3C).

Can we take a moment to laugh at the Sens? I mean, yeah, they're probably gonna kick our asses on Wednesday. But holy s*** what a tire fire.

I also think that in general SY doesn't want to deplete his prospect pool too much. Replacing guys like Fabbri with guys like Mazur (on an entry level deal) is going to create a competitive advantage for this team in a few years. I doubt SY is in a rush to trade away a bunch of cheap NHL caliber talent for a rental right now. Maybe in a year or two when we're really close to competing for a Cup. I can see our 2nd/3rd round picks and B-level prospects in play, but outside of Berggren (who I think it probably gone at the deadline) I don't see him moving any prospects of any value (Mazur, Kasper, Edvinsson, Danielson, Cossa). Maybe Johansson, Wallinder, Lombardi are in play for the right deals, but I don't see them being moved for the sake of a middle six rental or something like that. They've got more value to our team as cheap replacements for our depth guys.
