Yzerman not trading Chiarot for the raw-chicken-eating version of Mr Glass. Ben is almost as beloved in the room as Perron. We dodged the Ottawa loser cooties in the Debrincat trade. No need to temp fate again.

Kane's wearing the wrong sweater in this tribute.

With hot sauce

Yeah - same here...Thankfully they're pretty limited in terms of games shown. If you live in Michigan/Metro Detroit it is...

Me too

Gonna go big here. 7-2 Wings.

I like Lyon/Fleury much more than Lyon/Husso

Google Detroit Red Wings roster 2019 - 20 and after you get done throwing up. Consider the first 2 years min of Yzerguy he was cleaning a hoarder's house.

Trap game

I liked our top six a lot yesterday. If Kane, Debrincat, and Raymond are your other top six wingers then one of Ras or Veleno isn't too much of a problem IMO. I mean, it's not like the team isn't scoring. I really like Guentzel and Buchnevich, but I'm concerned about the price tag. Maybe if we could nab a budget guy like Pacioretty or something. Otherwise I think I've talked myself into just adding a depth center and flexing Veleno to the wing (or even someone Wennberg to the wing for that matter). I've been a big fan of Andersson for a year or so now, and I absolutely DO think they'll trade him. Calgary is about to move into a rebuild and he's too old to be part of their next core. But it's a tricky situation to handle. Because he's under contract they can trade him at any of the next three deadlines. They'll get a higher return the earlier they trade him, but if they're only willing to move him at the deadline (instead of the offseason) there's really only a handful of teams that could acquire him and the returns will be muted (late first rounders at best). I think it makes more sense to trade him in the offseason when more teams will be interested, and if you move him to a team on the uptick (like Ottawa with Chychrun) you're likely to get a better first round pick than what a playoff team would give you. As for Lyon, I agree this is also tricky. We seem to have caught lightening in a bottle here. He's not the best goalie in the world, but he's the right guy for our team right now. And our team is REALLY coming together and playing for each other. I wouldn't want to mess that up by bringing in a starter. I like the idea of a backup but then we'd have 4 goalies. We can easily waive Reimer, but we'd have to put Husso on LTIR for the remainder of the regular season. Otherwise we'd have A LOT of our cap wrapped up in goalies. I'd almost rather just go with Lyon and Reimer, give Husso plenty of time to take his time and get healthy, and then have Husso as the backup in the playoffs.

How is it that half the league qualifies for the playoffs...but qualifying for the playoffs is this tough a grind? I mean honestly now. Who's the manager? I want to speak to the manager. I want to file a complaint. I'm not paying for this meal. The service was terrible. We've been on an unholy heater since January 1st and we could easily go to bed on Sunday night with 70 points in the bank...and I still won't feel comfortable. And the soup was tepid. This f***ing division, man.

Yup he basically has said, That he wants to play out his career with DeBrincat. I could see him getting a 3 x $5,000,000 offer.

Kaplan elaborates and says Kane extension also in the works

Move Fabbri and Veleno.

I don't care about Corsi. Our team has the fourth worse possession metrics in the league. Seider's only got a 45% corsi for. Only Larkin is above 50%. Who cares? We win games, against good teams, and Ras is a really big part of that.

I remember hearing rumors about Detroit and him, but I'll be honest with you I'm not really a big Schmaltz guy. He's a really skilled player, but he's soft as warm butter and our right shot winger depth is really good (Debrincat, Raymond, Sprong). I'd imagine he'd cost a 1st (plus more) to acquire and I'd be looking at Buchnevich if I'm SY and I'm willing to part with my 1st.

HERE. REPORTING

He went on a sting? Kid has guts.

Scott. It takes a minimum of 2 years to get rid of the guys you don't want before you can even start to rebuild. You are leaving the tear down aspect completely out of the equation. Yzerman didn't start from scratch. He started worse than scratch. And it took him 2 or 3 seasons just to get to scratch.
