robb himself

I am actually really happy with this draft. I think we really made large strides in improving our D moving forward. I am a huge fan of the Seider pick. I think he is going to turn out to be a stud. Pair him with Cholowski and put McIsaac with Hronek and we have a super solid top 4 going forward. Tuomisto and Johansson could end up in the mix for roster spots down the road as well. The Berglund and Moore have filled our D cupboard and have size and potential. As for the forwards I am a HUGE fan of the Grewe pick (models his game after Marchand). Mastrosimone seems to be a slick player as well that I have high hopes for. Soderblom looks like a beast. Adding Phillips and Tyutyayev add more depth at F in our system. And finally, adding Gylander ( a 6'5" goalie) is never a bad thing to do. Just my 2 cents. Cheers

Athanasiou is the first Red Wing (and Larkin) to score 30 goals in the last 10 years. Trading him would be a colossal mistake.

Wow. I have seen you spew a lot of nonsense before but this post might be the worst yet. I disagree with this entirely. You always try to win and do your best. With your logic the team might as well skate down into their own end and put the puck in their own net. Just ridiculous.

I watched Hirose play for the Salmon Arm Silver Backs a few years ago and he definitely left an impression. This should prove to be an underrated signing down the road.

Crikey that is one gongshow of a line up. Tank Level 1000

Columbus brought in Kinkaid from NJ I think that's the only one though

I had the pleasure of watching Bowey play here in Kelowna through his junior career and I can tell you we are getting one hell of a good d man. He has all the tools to be a high end offensive d man given the right partner. Getting Bowey and a 2nd round pick is a home run for Holland.

I get what your saying but, sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try. The other teams are just simply...better. I also believe Blashill is trying his hardest to get the team to win (that's what they are hired for and would be sent packing if he wasn't) and I don't think any of us on here can really judge decisions he has made because we have no idea what is happening at practice and behind closed doors. Is Blashill the right man to lead this team into the future? Maybe not. But to question whether or not hes trying his best is just ridiculous.

People...we are in a rebuild. I know this is hard to swallow but teams in full fledged rebuild do not win many games. It will be a few more years before we start to become a contender again. I don't know why so many of you are not getting this.

Jacob De La Rose will join forces with his buddy Ehn and put this team on his back. The savior has arrived!

I made the pilgrimage a couple years ago to see The Joe in its last season and really enjoyed the Anchor Bar and the Detroit Beer Co.
