Yzerman 100% panicked, he was trying to shed cap to sign Stamkos. And Pizza boy didn't get to reach him in time to approve the deal. So we got screwed both ways.

Ken would trade our 1st to get Walman back and have that pick be a multiple veznia trophy winner.

Like the agents said in the agent poll... there is no plan in detroit and its a very unstable franchise. Ive lost a lot of faith in the captain.

Yeah the Mrazek trade honestly feels like the definition of making a trade just to make a trade

Maybe we are converting one to a 3D? Or playing 2 in net at the same time? I wanted something that moved the needle in a positive way. Granted Joey V wasn't all that great but for a retread goalie and an old forward why? Get some draft picks for him plug the holes in the boat with some GR talent and lets see what happens. I still hold hope but its dwindling at the moment. But making lemonade out of the situation. I will save money again this year as I wont be flying to Detroit for a playoff game(most likely)

Is there a more perfect match in the NHL than Brad marchand and the Florida Panthers?

Cozins to Ottawa for Norris and Benard-Docker. To be fair, we probably could not have matched that.

T-Minus 3 hours and 15 minutes. Please, please Stevie get us some help. For the sake of these players and the fan base mentality, let me be clear, it's a desperate need to make the playoffs this year. Our goalie situation won't get us past the second round, but regardless of stock piling picks and setting us up better for the "future", not making the playoffs would be 10x more detrimental to this teams psyche. This time is right now. On another note: does anyone agree with me that Lyon has looked shaky, like he's got some major confidence problems as of late? Forget the stats, I'm talking about optics and the "eye ball" test.

A buddy of mine was in Europe and caught yesterday's Skelleftea game. He said ASP was everywhere looked ready now.. but MBN wasn't noticeable at all. Take that for what it's worth.

New is he's headed to OTT

I'd be perfectly fine with selling and also picking up an NHL player or two for our future. Cozens and Byram for example. But I feel he'll dump Tarasenko and maybe another vet and just go with the remaining roster.

I'm going to retract a portion of that last post. It is nice to see that his 1st round picks from 2019, 20, 21, and 22 are all in the NHL contributing. Danielson and MBN along with ASP shouldn't be far behind. I just think it's time to make that step into a playoff team. Gamble, trade a 1st for someone like Byram or Zegras or Cozens. Trading one 1st in a weaker draft isn't going to hurt us with the prospects we already have.

Worst part is... SY's excuse for moving Walman and Fabbri was because he needed the cap space. Cap space for what? To sell again? To acquire the fumbling disaster that is Gustafsson? Regardless, we could have remained under the cap WITH walman still in the lineup. Call me when the scam is fired. Besides a few good trades - that he ended up squandering in the end - this has been holland lvl bull s***.

There's nobody he's gonna draft at 15 that's going help this team. Package some picks and upgrade this team! I'm so angry right now, sorry... I'm glad I'm working tomorrow and won't be watching the TDL show. The Walman situation has put me over the edge man... it was stupid when he traded him and now it's a disaster. This is something Ken Holland would do.

So.... now I'm seriously questioning Yzerman's sanity. He trades Walman AND a 2nd to San Jose for future considerations, now San Jose is trading him to Edmonton for a ******* 1st round pick!!! https://x.com/TheFourthPeriod/status/1897804423612469567?t=22rvpb1CriZv3KB1UL3Rsg&s=19
