Nevermind got a reaction from brett in Who has been the Red Wings MVP in the last 25 years?
Lidstrom. He was our most important player during both the Yzerman/Fedorov and Datsyuk/Zetterberg eras. And he's the only one of the five who could be considered the best at their position for a lengthy period of time.

Nevermind got a reaction from krsmith17 in Who gets the "A" when datsyuk leaves?
I would go with DeKeyser, but I'm guessing it'll be Abdelkader.
Interestingly, when one of Datsyuk or Kronwall was injured this year, Blashill opted to not give the other "A" to anyone else. So we only had one alternate during those games.

Nevermind reacted to DickieDunn in LAK/PHI trade
A lot of it is who they take in the first 2 rounds. Since 2000 they've had 26 picks there. 19 forwards, 5 D, 2 goalies. It's harder to find NHL talent later in the draft, so by using about 20% of their pucks on D, they've limited themselves a bit.

Nevermind got a reaction from F.Michael in LAK/PHI trade
I disagree. We clearly have trouble identifying hockey sense in young defensemen. Otherwise, you could call our success in drafting smaller, undersized European forwards luck as well.
Lidstrom and Konstantinov were picked 53rd and 221st overall, respectively. Any team could have drafted them.

Nevermind reacted to kipwinger in 9/30 Exhibition GDT : Red Wings 7 at Penguins 2
I wasn't implying Datsyuk would leave a year early. Sorry if it came across that way. I think he'll leave at the end of his contract.

Nevermind got a reaction from haroldsnepsts in Curtis Glencross regrets taking hometown discount
The article never said he's broke or was reckless with his money. Just his sentiment that he could have cashed in on his last big contract instead of taking a discount.

Nevermind reacted to barabbas16 in Line combos for 97, 98 Cups?
For 97, I think I remember seeing...
Yzerman with Sandstrom and Lapointe
Fedorov with Kozlov and Brown
Larionov with Shanahan and McCarty
Draper with Maltby and Kocur

Nevermind got a reaction from WingsAlways in Sharp & Johns to DAL for Daley and Garbut
Doesn't Dallas need quality defensemen a lot more desperately than forwards? Not sure what Nill is going for with Sharp and his $5.9 million cap hit when they already have Benn, Seguin and Spezza.
I guess Chicago swapped Oduya with Daley, but their forward depth isn't what it was last year.

Nevermind got a reaction from Izzy24 in Brendan Smith re-signed 2 yrs $2.75 mill AAV
Someone as dumb as Smith shouldn't have access to that kind of money.
-
Nevermind got a reaction from The Greek in Weiss bought out (confirmed)
Dumb move. We're not hurting for cap space next season and now Weiss is on the books for 6 seasons. If Weiss still didn't improve under Blashill, we could have done the same thing next year for a more reasonable penalty over 4 seasons rather than 6.

Nevermind got a reaction from krsmith17 in 2015 Draft
Jeremy Roy seems like a good choice at #19. Said to be a smart, reliable defenseman with good character and work ethic.

Nevermind got a reaction from kipwinger in 2015 SCF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
Don't worry. I'm sure those photos will still happen even if the Hawks lose.

Nevermind got a reaction from krsmith17 in 2015 Draft
If Zboril is still available, I'm not sure that I can handle another left-handed Czech defensemen named Jakub picked 19th overall and not panning out. Exactly 10 years apart too.

Nevermind reacted to Jacksoni in Which Sweater Do RWs Retire First - Feds or Ozzy?
What the heck.. Where is the 'None' button?
None of those players will have their jerseys retired. It's original six Gordie Howe Detroit, not a florida team playing hockey when folks are suntanning outside and couldn't give a s***.
Don't get me too wrong those players are good, Fedorov was probably born on skates. I wouldn't have lifted an eyebrow if he skated in an individual program in the olympics.
But they are not generational players. Like Howe. Like Yzerman. Like Lidström.
No siree.
As a sidenote, I personally nominee Holmström as a generational player and should have his jersey retired at the Joe.

So Devellano gets the secondary assist then?

Nevermind reacted to Detroit # 1 Fan in ECQF Game 7 GDT : at Lightning 2, Red Wings 0 (Tampa wins series, 4-3)
I've never seen a young player go from so bad one season, to so integral the next. Good on you, Glendening.

Nevermind got a reaction from DatsyukianDekes in Datsyuk Finalist for Lady Byng
Along with Kopitar and Happy Hudler. Let's hope he can be mean to Tampa's Cup hopes though.
-
Nevermind got a reaction from nyqvististhefuture in Abdelkader to return for Game 3
I would go with...
Helm-Datsyuk-Tatar
Abdelkader-Zetterberg-Nyquist
Weiss-Sheahan-Pulkinnen
Miller-Glendening-Jurco
But I'm guessing the bottom six will be this instead...
Andersson-Sheahan-Jurco
Miller-Glendening-Ferraro

Nevermind reacted to RedWingsRox in ECQF Game 2 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Tampa Bay Lightning 5
Babcock postgame:
I liked our compete level, we got more shots on goal, that's something that we talked about. It's a race to 4, we got one, they got one ... that's hockey. We'll regroup and head back home and work on a couple more things and be ready to go.

Nevermind got a reaction from gcom007 in ECQF : (7) Sénateurs d'Ottawa vs. (2) Les Canadiens de Montréal
I think Subban lacks maturity, but I didn't see the viciousness there for it to be 5 and a game.
Definitely a stupid play and a minor penalty, but not worse.

Before the season: Success
At the trade deadline: Disappointing

Nevermind got a reaction from 55fan in Nonis Gone
Is there an application I can fill out for the vacant GM position in Toronto? Afraid I may be overqualified though.
