Straight eyed, handsome north american boys and one rslur euro that absolutely f u c k s.  the yzerplan

It's been well noted - Fertitta has no interest in paying fair market value for the Yotes, nor some silly transfer fee associated with it...He wants a 'good' deal...

Klim Kostin will emerge a fan favorite for his physical play and willingness to drop the mitts.
And he's wearing #24.

No. Stop clinging to the past. I know you love Holland but those days are over. Time to look forward. 

He will get signed.  Veleno is putting in the work.  Joe's problem is his lack of confidence.  He was talking to Fabbri last year early on with puppy eyes.  Robby fricking Fabbri.  Not McDavid or Crosby.  Fabbri.  Nothing says "Even I think I suck" more than cozying up to a middle 6 guy for comfort.  Just be a man already, Joe.  Jesus.

Lukewarm…

The Red Wings make the playoffs
Chiarot-Holl are a really solid 3rd defensive pair
Rasmussen, Berggren, Kostin, and Veleno all have break out seasons

Kostin-Fabbri-Perron
 
The Blues Brothers.

Iff Eddogg doesnt make thiss team out of camp this time, im bout done with him

I don't think you're going outta your way in under-valuing him (I feel your assessment is pretty fair)...I'd say Bergeron is revered for what kind of stand-up guy he is on and off ice...Not a single bad thing has been uttered, or published about him...The adulation tends to magnify his stats and accomplishments on ice, but for once I don't mind him getting the attention.

Cuz he bailed on the final year of his contract like a lil bit-ch. 
Bergeron is alpha. A real man. A true leader. A lover of all people and all genders. A real hero. 

Just a great player and a great guy on and off the ice.

He wore 56 his first call up after Larry Murphy roomed with him while on a road trip.  Pavs initially thought Murphs was cool, but saw his diet and told Larry he would rather watch cows deficate than watch Larry eat.  He then changed his number to 13 after he saw Brendan Shanahan fingering Larry Murphy's wife under the hotel bar while heading to the gym for a midnight workout.  They both winked at each other and Pavs knew Shanny was the man.

Yes - those green/red retro jerseys with the green breezers were top notch!

Matt Damon with the crazy 'I'm gonna chop off yo dick and feed it to you' eyes.

btw, those devils sweaters were great.

Ben Affleck was wild with the Devils.

He's yours now.  Learn to love him.  He's like a pet to all of us here.

He's had hip resurfacing procedure - he'll be out until the end of the calendar year.
He's a bit of a ****** - sat out for a few games to make his point on wanting to be traded to NYR - no thank you.
At this stage of his career - what's left of it - DBoss and Ray Ray would be a better line mates.
EDIT - and there's no f-ing way I'd want him to make $5 million per season as a Red Wing
If that **** wants to come here - he can make league minimum.

Well - Cat will be 29 and a UFA so he’ll have another opportunity to cash in.
Glad to have him on the Wings.

All this data reminds me of the Zadina fanboys on various sites would post as to how analytics/advanced stats showed him in a favorable light.
That said - Yzerman is doing alright - regardless of what the vast majority of opposing fan bases have to say...99% of them are ignorant bastards.
