You know Sproul cleared waivers right? It's a AHL for AHL trade. If he was that good someone would have picked him up.

There wasn't. Kronwall did fairly well in that 2014 season. We got complacent imo.

I know it's been 5 years since Lidstrom, but in those initial years since he left we looked promising overall. D, Z and Howard seemed to be carrying. Which probably made the management complacent. I think the reality set in around the 2015-16 season when Tampa just outclassed the hell out of us and then it kept sinking in the following two seasons. Probably because the players I mentioned could no longer carry the team.

Ya'll gotta realize this organization does not see Ericsson the same way we do. They actually appreciate Ericsson for his hard work.

I feel as though if it was easy, it would have happened a lot more often. Maybe the asking price for some of these players is high? And the risk:benefit ratio might not be appealing for the Wings. Duchene isn't a defenseman but from what I read the asking price is Alternatively with the defenseman we have coming up in our system, maybe they don't see the Fabbros, Beans, Chabots as much more of an upgrade than just waiting it out for 3 or so years till Cholowski, Hickets etc are up. We've gotten rid a lot of players we don't need. We've kept our picks and kept our potential future stars. I think they're waiting a few more years to see these defenseman they have drafted to pan out. It's a rebuild from within and it looks to me like it's a waiting game.

No. But I think it’s hard.

Tatar and Nyquist have cap hits and haven't as good as most people thought originally. We would probably have to give up a high pick with them. Svechnikov isn't an NHL player he would probably be in a package. So who would we get in return?

Like who? and for what defenseman? I just don't see who would come and who would go. It would be easier to drop Larkin/Mantha for a top D young player.

I mean... out of the 31 GMs, how many actually do big trades.. We don't have a Drouin or Panarin to give up. I mean we have Larkin or Mantha basically. That's it. Mrazek wasn't even taken for free by Vegas. No one offer sheeted AA, not even the KHL would give him the money he wanted. We just don't have the personell to make big moves. I mean he's not wrong. They are hard. If you want to make major ones. Like I said, how many of the 31 GMs actually make blockbuster trades without having pieces worth it?

I've been seeing a lot of people post this lately. What does that even mean? Holland has done 6 trades in 2017 alone.

You're right. I'm starting to wonder about our scouts ability. It seems as though Holland keeps having to clean up their busts with these trades he's been doing. Interesting to see your support of Holland. You may be onto something about the scouts doing a poor job though.

Dam it’s like Holland visited the forums this summer

THANK GOD THE ONLY PLAYER I HATED HAVING ON THIS TEAM. Good bye. Hello playing time to people who deserve it. Hello AA. So glad we're getting rid of dead weight and paving way for possible future stars.

I would agree. The whole 1.3878347u294723984 number is so weird that has to be the reason after adjustments to bring it down to $1.25. If that's the case Holland won and AA's agent needs to be fired for doing absolutely nothing positive for AA. But even if that's not right AA is making 100k more than Hollands original offer.... Congratulations AA's agent, you possibly let your client get $100k more while wasting away his life from hockey. No training camp, missing out on 15 games or so of hockey experience (by the time the work visa is reinstated). A real champion of an agent. Fckin idiot. I think he meant the extra $600 k per he would have gotten had he done the 2 year deal.

Seems the same

No. Howard never got credit back in the day and neither will Mrazek. Howard haters made their bed a long time ago. Now they have to lay in it; with the Mrazek haters.

Lol you're such a Mrazek slappy with this type of statement.

It doesn't work that way. Sheahan has no skill and Tatar does. He heard me out

State of the art. No complaints whatsoever. Food is good. Pizza is actually cheap. $13 for a large. Usually stadium Pizza is $20 + for a large. We assumed it’s because the Pizza is the stadium owners product so it’s a “discount”. Can’t wait till they finish the “district” area entirely. Area still under construction. Should be fun. I was at the Pistons home opener few days ago. They did a good job with that too. Eminem, Big Sean, Kid Rock all showed up. Eminem made an epic “Welcome back Detroit” shoutout thing.

Dam the comments at the bottom of that article are mean lol

My god it's disgusting how skinny she is.

No it's because he comes on here and looks at the criticism and then that's scoring. It's obvious.

Steve Yzerman says hi. Drouin gives you a nod. ———- Does AA get the ful $1.38 mill or does he lose money because he missed games
