Omg lol it's a thread about GM candidates not about Blashill or our pp unit and team lines.

Didn't realize Nill was extended, sorry about that. Definitely a "no" then. I hadn't thought about Lamoriello because I thought he was Vice President with the Leafs, but now I see he's GM. So it wouldn't be a demotion then. I always liked what he did with the Devils (aside from the Kovalchuk deal), would love to have him here, but according to Leafs fans, Toronto is the place everyone wants to go and noone wants to leave so... Just hoping Yzerman isn't signed by his choice, and he is just waiting to see what happens with Holland.

Ken Holland Steve Yzerman Lou Lamoriello Bob Murray These are all the big name GMs who are finishing their contracts this year and still have no signed extensions. Which is weird because GMs usually re-sign the summer before their last year.

He hasn't done s*** bro. Call me when they win the cup. Even Holland has 4. And Holland sucks. But on a serious note. Lets be honest Shahanan has a s*** ton of executive experience before he went to the Leafs. Dude was the VP of hockey and business development for the league. Then went on to become the NHL Senior VP. Did all that crap for about 5 years. Probably has a better understanding of the ins and outs of the league than anyone.

It's all just Jonas Mahonas

HYPE!

We need a GM that has no ties nor loyalty to these players.

I agree, we need a sweeping if the cupboard! From Holland down. They don't need to be fired, just not given the GM spot. But the entire coaching staff needs to go, sans the goalie coach since he's done a bang up job with Howard. The new GM must rid this team of MOST the huge contracts and some useless players in order to make an impact in the JT sweeps, as well as landing a legit top defender. Ericsson, one of Nyquist/Tatar, Helm, the rights to Mrazek, Sheahan and AA if he doesn't come down to earth. I'd keep Abby as long as he doesn't see anything above the 3rd line, but I'm not opposed to trading him. I am a big fan if DD on a personal level, but if in the next season he doesn't turn it around, I'll be looking to deal him too. Most important is to get rid of Blash and crew, Why? 1st powerplay unit: Tatar - Z - Abby Nyquist - Kronwall 100% unacceptable!

Like every Wings vs Leafs game, I have a case of beer on this one. Wings win 4-3. Mantha, Zetterberg, Frk, Tatar.

By the way. There is no way in HELL the Illitches would let Sergei Fedorov be in charge of this team. It’s one thing to retire a jersey. It’s a one time thing and it’s done mostly to recognize the good stuff. But it’s an entirely different thing to let the man that betrayed you run your beloved franchise. The whole “maybe retire number 91” was Ken Holland speaking because Holland likes Fedorov. I think the whole reason it hasn’t been done is because the Illitches still hold a grudge.

First

lol, is that Abby?

Dean Lombardi (Kings old GM) doesn't have a job right now does he?

His contract is up same time as Holland. My point is we can only get people that are available. Lou, Yzerman, Holland are all up to re-sign. He signed a 5 year contract extension with Stars last year...

500 games, millions of dollars and a cup ring? Yeah, he's a loser. His feud is petty, but all things considered he had a pretty good career for a bottom D-man. AA will be calling cutting a s*** 'taking a Holland' I bet.

This one was well in her 20s. Trust me.

I think they need to go outside of the organization. No Draper, no Martin, no Fedorov, no Yzerman (I don't think he'll come here anyway). The Wings need a house cleaning, and none of those guys would do it. That said, I don't have a legit candidate at this time.

No way Holland would do that... And why would he? Glendening has 2 goals so far this season, on pace for 27. Marner has 1 goal. F***ing scrub...

The story I remember (from Commodore) was no one was offering him contracts and he was considering retirement. Then he got a call out of the blue from his agent/Holland that was "we want you at this price, you have an hour to decide before we move on to someone else" and he asked Holland "is it you who wants me? Or does Babs want me?" (he didn't like Babcock already from his time playing under him in Cincinnati) Holland told him the signing was at the request of Babcock. So as he tells it, he went against his gut and said f*** it maybe Babs remembers what I bring and actually needs me this time. Then Babs only played him for 17 games. So I see why he doesn't like the guy, but the amount of vitriol over a failed experiment in Detroit is way over the top on his end. Butthurt loser.

lol read the title like it was said by Seinfeld

why was Errorson on the top D line? why do some say that Z doesn't want to move up to the wing? simple... Swedish Mafia

I always felt like the other Swedes are closer to each other than Z is to them. Just going off Franzen’s instagram, Official Red Wings snapchat though. Back when Dats was still here the official red wings snapchat always showed the two of them playing soccer together alone in the locker room. Didn’t really see Swedes with em. Sometimes Kronwall used to workout with D and Z though. Franzen posts pics of E sometimes and Kronwall. Never really any pics of Z hanging out with them.

Who came up with this? Or are we thinking hypothetically?

The answer to this is pretty simple if it means getting Ericsson out of the lineup every night.
