number9

Nyquist and Tatar are the new Z and D. Mantha and Larkin are the mew Y and forward. It's so cute i caN Hardly look away

That's why we drafted baby-tuzzi, to break the curse

Backman was never going to be a Red Wing, and Janmark didn't really progress at all with his new team. I assume the deal was "I'm not giving you a first, how bout a second?" "I need a prospect too" "Ok, how bout these 2 guys I'm not going to use, but you might be able to" Reality is, the cupboard really is overfull. We've traded 3 prominent prospects in the last few years. And we're losing decent draft picks like Wheaton and McNulty... and Quine a few years back. I trust management knows who doesn't have a realistic shot as a wing, thus they become tradeable assets. They might not get us Yandle's of the world, but they get a Cole, or a Legwand all right. What I'm worried about is Detroit becoming known as a place where careers end. Apparently Detroit was not on Kessel's list of 8 teams. Commodore, White, Weiss, Sammy, Brunner, Tootoo, Cole, Legwand, Monster all struggled once coming here for different reasons. The only successes we've had are Alfie and maybe Zidlicky. Bad juju.

Mantha is hot garbage. At least if we trade him now he still has value

Open to giving up Mantha AND our first??? Wow that seems almost perfect for Toronto

Odds Mantha gets traded???

THIS IS ALL JUST DUMB MEDIA HYPE

manthas not a bust yet. This is just media drumming up stories

Cox is a TERRIBLE source. So most likely you can forget all this, bc kennys not going to do anything.

Drafts Seguin, trades him, goes to work with Hall. Classic.

It's probably the whole "he's worthless, buy him out, trade em for a bag of pucks, just get him off the roster" rhetoric that has gone on for years. Now that he's hurt some people act like they want him to get healthy and come back, but bc they 'care' about him soooo much, they think he should hang him up. As if they don't want him to hang them up for other reasons as well. I have no doubt ppl feel for him as one human to another, but you can see how it comes off as a "shroud of caring". Some of these caring souls having been bashing him and begging to be rid of him for years. They may finally get their wish.

Wow, both available? Maybe we do actually make a signing this off season

It's 4

There's also pretty much 0 chance we go after him anyway

Anywayyyyyy back to Dougie Hamilton...

Kip only likes big women

Kips being sarcastic. He loves those lil Wayne songs.Hamilton isn't going anywhere thou

No, I'm not worried about it. I actually think he makes the playoffs next year. I'm just asking a simple question. If he doesn't make it, do we turn a blind eye because it was his first season?

The first thing you need to know about Cory Emmerton is that he goes by the nickname Emdog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzcgyk62cHU What happens if Blashill misses the playoffs next year? Hypothetically? Does he get a pass his first season?

I'm not saying there is a vet available that's a better choice. I said it's a gamble hiring him, as u just confirmed. To say it's not a gamble is being way over zealous of his ability The only non-gamble was retaining Babs. We lost that option. And Babs essentially is the Scotty Bowman of his era. An outlier in a huge pool.

And how's been the success of other coaches we hired without head experience? You basically have Lewis and a mix of short stint guys from the dead wings era.

Ur faster than cool hand luke

How is it not? He has zero prior NHL head coaching experience

If no one drafts them, do they become ufa?
