kliq got a reaction from Scott R Lucidi in The YzerSCAM
Aren’t you only able to extend a player when they have only 1 year remaining on their deal?
Or does that not apply to an entry level deal?

A full season of Kane and Berggren will make up those goals. Not worried.

Ok, now it's official. Maybe I was seeing into the future?

Agreed. Also we only had Kane for about half a season, had we had him the entire year I imagine we are even better then 9th. Scoring was not our issue.

Red Wings were ninth in goals forward last season, if Stephen can somehow make the defence better, we can afford to lose some goals.

I know everyone wants to see the flashy move on July 1st, but most cup winning teams win via drafting/developing and/or major trades (ie. Vegas/Eichel, Florida/Tkachuk etc.) most contracts handed out today end up being anchors.

His miles on the odometer is getting up there, but hopefully he won't blow a gasket for us these next 2 seasons...With Yzerman being fairly quiet I'm wondering if there's still a trade/s to be made (ahem Trouba)...

I thought I saw it somewhere, but now I cannot find it...oh well strike that. That just makes another forward we need.

Talbot is old, but he’s much better than Reimer. In all honesty, I expect him to start this year over Husso and Lyon.

Duhaime is a guy I wouldn't have minded at that price.

kliq reacted to Jimmybigrigs69 in Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing
He could be better than last year. Now that he's pain free he can actually do a real full offseason training. Something I dont believe he's done in 2 years.
Sad to see papa perron leave for a rival, but step daddy Kane is more fun to hangout with anyway.

Very happy with this contract. His upside is huge, and if his hip goes there are no long term cap issues. We arent 1 point shy of the playoffs last year without him.

Seider/Ray are not preventing Yzerman from any signings. Most contracts being signed today like every fa day are bad-awful.

Perron to the Sens....2 years, 8 mil.

kliq reacted to Axl Foley in Ken Holland is a Hall of Famer
Literally depends on the circumstances. Like Babcock, he needs to be given the right scenario to succeed.
I do believe that the KH hate over the years was overblown. The streak was a mandate so I don't even blame him for stretching it out for as long as he did. And I don't think he is a BAD GM. He is just better as a tinkerer than as a builder/rebuilder.

kliq reacted to The 91 of Ryans in Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing
Do you remember the Alfredsson season? He led the team in points. 18G/31A. Dragged them into the playoffs. Zetterberg and Datsyuk were very unhealthy for the 2nd half of that season.
Richards and Modano were total failures tho for sure.
-
kliq got a reaction from bIueadams in Would you bring back Babcock?
Very fair point, especially based on Det & TO. Just to play devils advocate, he did take the 03 Ducks within 1 game of winning a cup with what I believe was a very young team, Oates and Stumpy being the exceptions.

kliq got a reaction from F.Michael in Vernon is HOF bound. Ahead of Ozzy and Hank. Wha?
Sorry, what I meant was who is more deserving then him that wasn't already in the HOF. So essentially Hextall, Vanbiesbrouck, Cujo, Potvin, Richter, Osgood, and Khabibulan in your opinion.
My thoughts are this, I've always thought the bar for goalies is ridiculously high when it comes to the HOF. They let a ton of goalies in from the old days, but in modern hockey (lets say last last 30 years) its just Fuhr, Hasek, Roy, Belfour and Brodeur. There is no way only 5 goalies in 3 decades should get in when the bar is nowhere close to as high for skaters or the previous generation.
http://hockeygoalies.org/awards/halloffame.html
Is he the most deserving goalie of the goalies eligible? That's a fair question, probably not. I definitely think Cujo, Hextall, and Osgood are more deserving, I disagree with Potvin. As for Vanbiesbrouck, Richter, and Khabibulan, I don't know as I think I would have to do a deep dive. I think of all four of those guys in a similar tier.

kliq reacted to Axl Foley in 2023 Trade Deadline Thread
Trade tree from the Mantha Trade:
Jakob Vrana: traded for 7th rd pick and Dylan McLaughlin
2021 1st round pick: Sebastian Cossa
2022 2nd round pick: Dmitri Buchelnikov
Richard Panik: traded with a 2nd round pick for Nick Leddy...who was later traded with Luke Witkowski for another 2nd round pick + Oskar Sundqvist + Jake Walman
So basically, the assets from Mantha got the Wings: Cossa, Buchelnikov, Walman, Sundqvist, McLaughlin and a 2nd and 7th round pick this summer.
And the Caps got Mantha and his whopping 55 points since the trade.
Still a big win for SteveYzerman.
Regina and Saskatoon are both cities in Saskatchewan.
