Yeah, that left winger would sure solve our 2C problem!

DEKEYSER WAIVED! I REPEAT: DEKEYSER WAIVED!!!

Where have I said anything remotely close to this? Also, huge difference between a good team and a contending team. Close to a good team? Yes. Close to a contender? Not a ******* chance. That is 4-5 years out at best. Temper your expectations.

No, we would not

Berggren is doing very well in the AHL over the course of almost an entire season thus far. Zadina never accomplished such a thing. Let's down bring Berggren down to Zadina's level, please.

Every Joker is better than Leto's. And that includes cosplay Jokers.

I'd even throw in a second-rounder if it meant getting Holloway.

Like plus/minus, these certain analytics need to be looked at through a specific lens for each player. If Zadina had these good fancy stats when deployed primarily from the defensive zone, I'd be like f*** yeah. But as you mentioned, that very much is not the case. I'd love to see the kid pan out, but I figure at best we can hope for a solid middle 6 winger at this point. Pretty ******* easily replaceable, I might add. If he can be moved as part of a deal to bring something important back, it has to be done.

When have I ever shat on Zadina? It's not outrageous to think Berggren has more potential at this point. I get wanting Zadina to pan out to be something meaningful. But god damn the lengths people go to defend him is ridiculous. It makes me want to see him traded just for the reactions. The only type of Wings fan more annoying than Zadina appologists are those who get outraged over Zegras Calder hype.

It would be better with Berg in place of Zadina tbh

The Ken Holland Line

Ras is sooooo much more effective on the wing. Veleno is much more suited to center that line than Ras is with what we have.

Oh, I don't disagree at all. Like, I don't wanna see any sort of regression. And I'd rather push for playoffs than finish in the basement. But if I had a crystal ball that said if the team sucks one last time, Bedard is a sure thing, I'd allow it. It's all fantasy, I know.

We land a guy like Nazar and I'll start feeling really good about the center postion. Neiderbach is showing potential too. While I don't see him as a 2C, he'll definitely add to the depth chart. Of course, I also wouldn't hate to see the team have a one-off awful season and win the Bedard sweepstakes either.

Sebrango and Cossa will not make the team next season.

Zadina for Laffreniere. Do it. Perhaps the Wings could develop the kid properly. At worst he'd just be another Zadina.

The Calder conversation should begin and end with Seider. Anyone else just exposes it as a popularity contest.

I don't have as much as I'd like at all. A couple blanks, an Yzerman and a Datsyuk. I need Larkin and Seider next. I also have to get a Seider jersey for the dog.

I mean sure. I just feel like there is a pretty significant correlation between right and anti-vax and left vs pro-vax, is all. People certainly try to make it a political issue when it shouldn't be. In the end, vaccines should be pushed based on their merit. COVID antibodies that prevent serious illness. Not pushed via fear mongering and bulls*** restrictions.

It is a left vs right thing in terms of the people, 100%. And once again, I straight up said info from the media and government was a crock of s***, as they use fear mongering to push vaccines. Once again, I agree with some points you make. Those who want protection from COVID should get their booster. Much like those who want protection from the flu should get their ******* flu shot. I'll agree that the use of vax passes and s*** to try and enforce vaccines is ******* terrible and useless, considering vaxxed people can still carry. My point is that vaccines are still a great tool for folks who wanna ensure they don't get super sick from this thing. Having said that, the vaccines DID prevent spread initially, as the vaccine was based on the original variant. The spike protein changes with each new variant, which is why they increasingly infect the vaccinated. Of course, the vaccinations still provide antibodies regardless, and they are renewed with each booster. So it's a great thing for those who want it. If folks wanna roll the dice without a vaccine, that should be their choice. There is certainly risk there regardless of fitness and health. Obviously the risk in healthy people is significantly less, but it certainly isn't zero. So get pissed about the bulls*** messaging, absolutely. Get pissed about the restrictions and vax pass bulls*** yes. All these restrictions do at this point is weaken our immune systems to literally everything else, which opens up a whole new world of issues. But the vaccines themselves still do a hell of a lot more good than bad. IT is certainly time to just let people live with the decision they have made in terms of whether or not they got pricked. Roll the boosters into the annual flu shot and call it a day.

The problem is you're buying into this immunity thing the media and politicians are pedalling. I thought people like you didn't believe those types? Boosters reactivate the antibodies. Nothing more. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. For the record, I agree that the restrictions are overkill. I agree that the fear mongering to promote vaccines are awful. I agree that what the media and politicians are saying is a crock of s***. But to act like vaccines are some useless tool in all of this is false. Why the f*** do you think no NHLers are showing anything more than mild cold symptoms? Because of the antibodies. From the vaccines. Sure, many of them would also be fine without. But some absolutely would not. Because the narrative that no fit healthy person can get seriously ill from COVID is also a crock of s***. Both you rightists and leftists are both r-worded in this entire debate. I'd school you on why the vaccinates can get and carry the virus, while still having the antibodies to fight it. But your mind is clearly set on your antivax bulls***.

Here ya go

You're not gonna convince someone to change their mind on this topic when all they do is research only the data that feeds into their confirmation bias.

Well what is he waiting for?

Ras will be too busy falling down at every slight gust of wind that comes his way
