    Larkin Next?

    Keep dreamin' Larkin is having a down season, and will still crack 60 points. All while becoming a more well rounded player. His defensive game has been much improved, despite the bulls*** the OP is spewing. Also, you know who else was a "sub-60 point center" at the age of 23? Henrik Zetterberg. Larkin is still young as f***. He probably won't ever be an elite center, but he will absolutely be a quality 1C for many years. He will also be the next Red Wings captain. Mark it!

    Larkin Next?

    You think Seider is going to be named captain next season before playing a single NHL game? Yzerman said there will be a captain named next season. One would assume, the only logical choice is number one center, Dylan Larkin...

    Are these press conferences necessary?

    I don't "know" that Blashill is going to be back, any more than I "know" that Mantha will stay healthy enough next season to score 30+, or that the Wings will win the draft lottery. Blashill *might* be back next season. Wouldn't surprise me either way. Mantha will *likely* score 30+ next season, if he can stat healthy. We aren't likely to win the draft lottery, but maybe...

    Ok... What's your point?
  5. A lot seemed to be minor league / low impact trades though. There were only a handful of "big" trades made...

    Blashill *might* be back next year.
  7. Yeah, I was hoping for a 1st or a high end prospect (would have preferred either), but two 2nd's is still a good return.
  8. Nope. I just don't share your irrational hate... Umm no, it's because we dont have a Connor McDavid.

    AA traded to oilers

    No one. I was more so talking about taking on a bad contract (probably not going to happen), or trading up on draft day...
  10. Athanasiou would be more valuable as the team adds talent / improves, but Fabbri will be less valuable as the team adds talent improves... Yeah, okay... If Athanasiou re-signed, and plays a full season on McDavid's wing, he could possibly hit 40 goals. So what? He wasn't going to get that same opportunity here, and for good reason. Kuffner is a borderline AHL player...

    AA traded to oilers

    I will not.

    AA traded to oilers

    Nah. Not unless it's top 10, plus.

    AA traded to oilers

    Good trade. We need to add another 1st though...
  14. LOL whatever you say. Gagner is a solid veteran. Good trade. Quit bitching.
  15. Who the f*** is "getting excited" about Gagner? Helm - 33 years old - 61GP, 9G, 6A, 15PTS Gagner - 30 years old - 36GP, 5G, 7A, 12 PTS Yeah, Helm is sooo much better than Gagner...
  16. Man you're dumb. I'm sure you think Helm (50% retained) could get a mid round pick though...
  17. I'm saying that a 30 year old veteran winger could fetch a mid round pick at the deadline. What a bold statement... Saying that he can't is just dumb.
  18. LOL. Gagner could absolutely fetch a mid round pick. Not saying he will, because Yzerman might want him around the locker room. But yes, he could.
  19. Good veteran depth winger for a contending team. Retain 50% and trade for a mid round pick...
  20. Is it possible that Gagner is being flipped for another mid round pick?
  21. Why does it matter that we take Gagner?
  22. Gagner and Kuffner also involved in the deal.
  23. But you LOVE 3rd round picks too...
