Filpulla won't come here. Tampa wouldn't trade with a division rival.

Higher chance of us winning our home opener and close against these teams though xD.

And a "thug"?

The organization values loyalty more than anything. Just look at how the whole Datsyuk situation transpired. I would not at all be surprised if they protected Zetterberg. Imo they shouldn't because the chance of him getting picked up are low. It's not impossible, but it's likely low. But on the chance they do lose him, it would be an extremely awkward situation for the parties involved including the fan base.

They will protect players they feel are important to them. And as much as I'm not a fan of Glendog and how much he's overrated amongst fans, the management and Mr. Blashill value Glendog highly. So realistically speaking, they will protect him over Jurco. Just the way it probably will end up being.

Piece of s*** or not he would a be a bad acquisition for his production and market value. $6 mill cap hit with 20 goals on Kopitars line..? We had a rookie score 23 this year on a declining 35 year olds line.

Would rather us try to get Ladd over Lucic.

AA is untouchable.

Exactly. Not winning a cup doesn't make their value less like. Hasek was da real MVP. The real deal.

Did you know Dominic Hasek is considered one of the best goalies of all time (better than Patrick Roy). He won two Hart Trophies consecutively and 6 Vezinas, single handedly led the Czech to their first gold medal in the olympics but NEVER won a Stanley cup in all that time? Did you know that he came to the Red Wings at an older age of 36 and FINALLY won a Stanley cup? Bet ya didn't. I guess Hasek must have not been the real deal all those years until age 36 when he finally won with the Wings. The Wings we're idiots to acquire him. Vasilevsky is no where the goalie Bishop is.

Had Bishop been in net against Pittsburgh, Tampa likely would have won that series. Vasilevsky was likely the reason they had a lesser chance and couldn't win. Bishop lost only 2 games in the entire Stanley cup playoffs. Even if Tampa trades him, they will be the losers in the deal. Bishop's the real deal. He's one of the best goalies in the league.

I want a Mustang but does that mean a Corvette isn't better? You're logic makes no sense. What does want have to do with who is better and who isn't. People would take McDavid because he's cheaper and has a bigger upside and can play for 5-6 more years than Stamkos can (who is already 26 years old). Come on dude. Lol.

Saturday is first day of interview process.

Was reading an article today, who gets the next "A" as assistant captain now that Pav is gone?

Yeah I think he is. Seguin definitely one of the top elites. To be honest after Crosby and Malkin all the centers are hard to judge year by year. It seems like on paper Seguin is actually better than Stamkos and Tavares. I don't watch him as much so I don't know but you do raise a good point. But somewhere last year he seems to have overtaken Stamkos in the analytics department. Crazy how these guys come out of no where. Seguin and Benn are basically the new Datsyuk and Zetterberg just by looking at these offensive numbers. (Defense wise/ 200 foot play wise I don't think we'll ever see a duo better than prime Hank and Pav though)

He's not coming back. At all. He's signing the retirement forms + contract termination. That's why I'm telling ya'll to watch the press conference! It's got all the info you need.

Third or fourth best center imo. Malkin and Crosby are better. Tavares is close too, some argue even better now.

I still don't get how you think McDavid is better than Stamkos.

$5.5 mill for Anderson and $4.2 mill for Bernier for Toronto. Basically have two starting goalies. Wonder if they're going to trade Bernier or something.

By the magical power of words. And fallacies.

No Z shouldn't play center at all. That's the reason why he gets washed by February. We should try to bring in a center and Larkin, AA, Sheahan should alternate.Z should go back to playing his natural position on Wing.

He played center on his return in game 7 vs Pittsburgh

Not one bit of intelligence in this post. You failed to provide proof showing Vasilevsky is "just as good" as Bishop. You failed to show Larkin's statistics as an NHL centerman (since you claim he's a top 6 center). Pulling strawman arguments. Comparing centers to defenseman. So if you're just going to keep talking nonesense without any factual evidence then keep going it's fairly obvious you're clueless on quite a few matters here. And no one here has said defense isn't an issue but you're the one bringing up "there's more to hockey than scoring goals" when clearly one of our big issues is scoring goals. Anyways can't debate with someone who doesn't know how to debate.

Do you even watch the Red Wings? Our issue is scoring. We need scoring. And we need a center. Jesus dude.

Omg lol. Now I definitely know you're cluless. Hedman, Karlsson, Suter and Keith are defensman.This guy thinks Connor McDavid is already better than Steven Stamkos. This might be the most awkward post history in a while.
