Good evening all.
Didn't log for a while,but I'm ready for another ups and downs Red Wings season.

The Detroit Red Wings have long had the philosophy that prospects need to be "ripe" before they make the jump to the National Hockey League. That means after getting drafted, our prospects spend around 3-5 years between junior or overseas and the AHL before finally getting their shot in the NHL. This has proven to be successful for many years now and I don't see them drastically changing that system any time soon.
That philosophy made sense when we arguably had better veteran players in Detroit.Last couple of seasons,not so much. We had an opportunity to watch a lot of kids from Grand Rapids due to injuries and surprisingly none of them underperformed.Yes,reasonably they had rookie mistakes,but not more bone head plays than proven veterans like Cleary,Bert or Quincey.

Some contradiction in Babs interview,but he takes responsibility for bad moves and decision,unlike Holland.
-
It's not only that ufa's don't want to sign here anymore,our own prospects lost confidence in his abilities...see under Tatar,Jarnkrok or Almquist lately,both assistant coaches left,Stevie and Nill left,Babcock didn't re-sign yet... must have something with good ole Kenny.

That's how Tomaš Jurčo feels at the moment while Nyquist's giving him a hug.

Cody Franson is 6'5" right shooting, had 33 points last season, and carries a low cap hit. We should be giving him a hell of a look. I think he would be cheaper to get than Myers.
There were/are half of dozen short term options better than Quincey still available,but as mentioned,let's stay pat for now...unless we could move Kindl or Lashoff somehow

Ken just bought the same used car that didn't work well for him at first and payed it even more.That's brilliant strategy.
:clap: -
Even Malik and Khan dissapeared from twitter for some time...that bad it is
:lol: -
And there it is.
Wings didn't get a right-hand shooting defenseman, but still need someone. They've made offer to Kyle Quincey (left). Waiting to hear back.
And somewhere in Sweden Adam Almquist's having a good laugh at the moment.

Del Zotto's only 24 years old and could fit to our young group of d men well.Still a lot of room for improvement for him unlike Kindl and especially for Quincey.

So basically Ken offered better deals.but everyone has failed.It looks like some kind of revenge of the players managers for eventually low-balling them in the past...dunno
-
That's what our whole debate months ago was about.
Anyway ... here's hoping for a real youth movement in Detroit. I think we can agree on that.
Watch Ken signing rugged 35+ years old 7th D-man

It's clear that Suter/Parise not signing here set us back 5-7 years.
Not signing replecements for Hossa and Rafalski set us back and we were contenders at that time.

Red Wings appear to be working the trade phones now to bolster their blueline. Lost out on Boyle, and apparently out on Niskanen.
-
Anyone got Coliacovo's cell number?

The @DetroitRedWings are still in on unfortunately another left handed D-man.......not shut out just yet.

-
NSH trying to deal Michael Del Zotto before 4 ET. If no deal, do they qualify at $2.9M or let him go UFA. Suspect it's latter but not firm.
-
Both would be an upgrade,but with question mark.Niskanen made a career playing with Crosby and Malkin and Ehrhoff playing with Thorton/Marleau and Sedins.

Trade Details: Canadiens acquire P.A. Parenteau and a 5th round pick in 2015 from Colorado, for Daniel Briere.

Will the Blues fire Hitchcock...hm?
