https://x.com/DetroitRedWings/status/1836826666644955497 The #RedWings have signed Moritz Seider to a seven-year contract with an AAV of $8,550,000.

Nobody understands, but the sin this offseason is the same as the last 2. Scooping up a bunch of other DOGSHET (Gustafsson, Lagesson, etc) to play around our stars instead of scooping up other good assets (Broberg, Holloway). This is an F of an offseason from our big PLANNER GUY. I won't be surprised if we start the season without 5 of our first rounders in our line up (Kasper, Danielson, MBN, ASP, Cossa). That's stupid.

this aged well. Mo at 8.5×7 is much better than 9.5×8.

I'm loving the new Raymond contract. I expect Seider signs for somewhere just south of Larkin...something like 8.5-8.6 million per year. If we can have Raymond, Seider, and Larkin signed long term for under 30 million collectively we're in a really good position to go big game hunting in free agency over the next couple years. Huge win for us with this contract.

Theft. SCAM scores.

Jerseys, Hats, Photos. I have some of each. PM me for pricing.

I gave my meat a good ol rub

No

We do have a collection of mid junk that we seem determined to use block out our future core players. I really think we need to start moving the Velenos of the world for upgrades elsewhere and replace em with ELCs.

He actually says "Walman wasn't the kind of guy you wanted in the lockerroom or around your family." Then he says "While I was impressed with Fabrri's dedication to hockey by coming back from 3 knee injuries, I wasn't impressed with all his St. Louis Blues paraphernalia in his house. I mean, what team are you on now, dude. Wake the F up." Pretty candid, Larks.

Yah, it's really going to matter. we saved 7 mil over 7 years. Woopty do. Boring. Could have wrapped him and Raymond up in June for 1 mil more each year, then gone after Broberg and Holloway. Instead, we signed a bunch of bad insurance players and have a pile of crap on our roster right now.

Because the players were probably asking for more. And by being patient and waiting, the advantage went to Yzerman the closer it got to the season starting.

I’m genuinely not convinced Cam Fowler is any better than Jake Walman…the guy we gave up a stud RHD prospect to get rid of. More expensive tho.

I don't get why this took so long. Same with Raymond. Both deals are somewhat what everybody expected them to be. Also, the length benificial because now they don't have to work out the next deals for Ray and Mo in the same year.

Stupid. Just give him 9.5 and sit Husso for 1/2 a year.

In other words give up nothing /get something in return for our cap dumps and give up nothing of significant value for a top pairing dman and also get the team to retain half salary? More realistic: to EDM : Justin Holl, 2025 2nd Round Pick to DET : Furture Considerations to VAN : Ville Husso (50% retained), 2025 3rd Round Pick to DET : Furture Considerations to ANA : Shai Buium, Carter Mazur, 2026 2nd round pick to DET : Cam Fowler Most of us probably wouldnt do any of those trades which is probably why Yzerman hasnt made any of the trades so many have been clamoring for. Other teams dont want our scraps and were not getting top of the lineup players for scraps.

8 years $8,075,000 per. figured this might need it's own thread. Next Seider then acquire Fowler.

And all along you were doubting Grand Master Y/Rabbi Saul Goyzerman/Stevie Y...

And makes 9D on the roster. Not happening. Just bring in McCarty for negotiations. Problem solved.

Glad its not a bridge Cap is going to climb rapidly and this AAV will feel more like a current $6 mil contract in 3-4 seasons.

Prospect Tourney 1st game IMO Danielson was the best player on the ice, but that's sorta expected given his age and draft capital. Not convinced he's making the wings yet, but he was supposed to look good out there and did. Can't complain. Lombardi looked slick, and Dallas's more unknown players couldnt contain him. But im kinda like... where was this dominance with the Griffs last season? Making fools of undrafted invited players is one thing, but that needs to start translating to the AHL soon. IDK just hoping he's not another Jurco. Emmitt Finnie is a DAWGGGG. Brilliant drafting by the team there. FinDog is rapidly climbing the depth chart.

Here's my team with Fowler and everyone signed. (Traded Husso to Vancouver and Maatta to San Jose) then traded a 2nd, Wallinder and Soderblom to Anaheim for Fowler at 50% retained. Still room for one more forward and over $4M in cap remains.
