But if Orr, Howe, etc. were starting today they'd have the same benefits. You have to look at how much they dominated their particular era. Lidstrom was underappreciated for a long time because he wasn't flashy, didn't "punish" people physically, and was Swedish, but he arguably dominated his era just as much as Orr, Harvey, and Shore did theirs.
-
Lidstrom should have won at least 2 or 3 more Norris trophies. It's too hard to compare players from different eras. I've always thought Shore Harvey Orr and Lidstrom are the 4 best ever in whatever order you put them in. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

22 goals in his second year is pretty good. Some people just expect too much Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Tatar interviewed in Slovak news: About team's start, his shoulder, and trade rumors
DickieDunn replied to Juklitz's topic in General
except if it's a Wings free agent He's probably getting pressure from the team to play through it since he's able to and they have so many other guys hurt. As far as wanting out, the organization went from the best in the NHL to a joke with a roster full of mediocre guys who are on unmovable contracts for the next 3+ years. Why the hell would you NOT want out if you want to win? -
But he was a Detroit prospect, that makes him better than other teams' prospects just because I saw him play in Grand Rapids/Toledo a couple times and I thought he really stood out those games.

People use that word for every young player that they like. They're never correct Larkin is already elite after only a month of NHL hockey. Pulk is going to be an elite goal scorer Dekeyser is an elite defender Mrazek is an elite goalie Nyquist and Tatar are going to be elite players and replace Zetterberg and Datsyuk's scoring etc. etc. etc.
-
Dekeyser and Nyquist or Tatar doesn't bring much help and nobody is going to want Nielsen with that contract. At this point bring in new players is worthless because no matter what they do, Trashill is the coach. Dude would tell Ovechkin he has to grind and kill penalties and wouldn't let him play on the PP. He's that dumb.
-
Scoring rate over a small sample size doesn't mean anything. I was addressing what you said. He doesn't have an elite skill set. He has elite speed. He will never be elite regardless of how hard he works because of that. That's being realistic not negative. Calling him a Helm clone would be negative. Saying he'll be out of the league in two years would be negative. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

The only thing I see elite about him is his speed. I think he could be a very good player if he had a coach who actually used him better and wasn't constantly bashing him and giving him back handed compliments in a vain attempt to be a Bowman/Brooks like manipulator, but not elite. Elite is Crosby, Ovechkin, Yzerman, Forsberg. Best players in the game. AA won't be that level any more than Larkin was "already elite" 2 months into last season or Pulk had 40 goal potential.

If I played for that braindead moron, I'd clash with him, too. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

You only get the NHL vet minimum in cap relief. I think it's $975k right now. There is zero reason to stick Howard in GR. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

He hasn't had a stretch of more than 3 or 4 games in almost a full year where he's been good. That's not Trashill's fault. That's on him. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Percent chance of Playoffs or Potential High Pick

I still say it's unfair to judge anyone on how they play under the NHL version of Rod Marinelli Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk -
He's consistently had a gaa over 3 all year. Are they supposed to ignore his play and give him 3/4 of the starts all season just because they named him #1 before preseason even started? Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk
-
Find Blashill and kick him in the balls would be #1 on my list Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk
-
Maybe he told Blashill that he's a moron and shouldn't be coaching a peewee team much less an NHL team. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

He'd probably at least get them to not play like candy asses Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Don't worry, with the way Kenny locked these guys up, we have a few shots at top 3 picks. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk -
Gordon Bombay, Judge Burns, or Peter Griffin would be an improvement right now.
-
That still doesn't justify giving him the #1 job unchallenged. He needs to earn it.
-
95% of the reason the team is as bad as it is is because of Trashill. He has them all playing far below their abilities. Before any accurate evaluation can be made, he needs to be fired. He needs to go NOW.
