33 pts. 16 goals. Not very good. Plain and simple.

Are you calling me a snowflake??? cute

U mad bra?

You didn't like my realistic optimist tone, and I'm just trying to make you happy I can talk s*** about AA for days if need be. He's not that good. Plain and simple.

Because AA is currently a dumpster fire on skates. Sure he has some limited potential, but he wouldn't even get us much in a trade at this point in time.

wuh

When I said he's lazy and he sucks lol? I think you missed the boat on the joke... I see AA is going to be your Brendan Smith. Should be fun lol.

Like I said, I'm optimistic as well, but my worry is Mrazek syndrome... That he's going to dig his heels in and double-down on being the flashy one-dimensional player he currently is. If he doesn't bring it this season, you can expect me to start s***ting all over him.

1. Larkin 2. Rasmussen 3. Zadina 4. Mantha 5. Veleno 6. Cholowski 7. Athanasiou 8. Hronek 9. Bertuzzi 10. Svechnikov Sad that there's only 2 Dmen in that top 10. Think it's pretty telling that the highest we all ranked Svech was #10. And Hicketts is on no one's list. You forgot Edler. Major Faux pas. Faulk and Trouba will be joining your island of missed connections Red Wings soon...

Fun Larkin fact, He turns 22 soon and he's already in the top 100 scoring Red Wings of all time (#94)

I'm calling you a snowflake: Someone that thinks they are unique and special and are easily made upset. I remember my first day on the internet

I wish you would restrict my free agency

Rasmussen was the best pick outside of Dylan Larkin in the past 1000 years for the Red Wings. I've been saying he's awesome now for a while now and I'm not letting down. Zadina will not be as good as Ras. Sue me. Trouba is the new Bogosian.... where did he end up again??

We got his son now, it's cool. We control the bloodline still.

IDK why this comparison keeps getting made. Goose and AA are not similar at all IMO. Mantha is probably the best comparison. Two young goal scorers with tremendous talent,both of whom have been flanked by compete/effort issues resulting in a perceived one-dimensional game. I think Mantha is rounding out his game already. His work in front of the net this past season was much better than the season prior. To me, it looks like he's taken to heart some lessons and is trying to expand his game. I want the same for AA now. Take that speed, take that stick work, and build it into something the Red Wings can use on every shift. This will be a crucial season for him.

Hot take! Rasmussen is gonna be better than Zadina, Veleno, and Mantha

Well they finally fired Tom Anastos last year, that was a step in the right direction. The new coach, Cole, is a former Griffins player and Griffins coach, and also coached the U.S. under 17s/under 18s. Hopefully he can get a program together. MSU hockey has been super sad post Ron Mason. Who was the last decent player they turned out? Torey Krug? Shame.

Can confirm. I live on a farm in Seattle Washington and f*** my cousin on the reg. Sorry, can I claim "muh freezepeach?" or is constitutional freezepeach too silly these days?

Wouldn't dream of it!

Ur weird! gotem

"What we always wanted" is not an accurate quote. My quote was "the Darren Helm we always wanted". I meant that as a side comment to disparage Darren Helm and nothing more. I wholly disagree about our defense and forward group. The forward group has Larkin, Mantha, AA, and Bertuzzi, 4 young bright spots, 2 of which will probably be core players on this coming seasons roster. The defense has no one even close to this at this point in time. AA had 17 assists last year and a large amount of his goals came on the breakaway. If you think his playmaking and scoring in the cycle is where it needs to be, then we can agree to disagree. Again, I think AA v. Nyquist is a real s***ty comparison not worth exploring. At this point in time that's where he's slotted. He's gotta take the next step up. I'm optimistic about him, I think he can.

Green is a racist bigot. Which makes you a racist bigot.

Swastika fan trumpsters probably account for less than .01% of his supporters. Just like, I assume/hope, antifa accounts for less than .01% of trump haters. The vast majority of the public is somewhere in the middle. Hell, I've voted democrat twice in my lifetime. You didn't vote for Trump? ******* phony. You disgrace Mike Pence's name. Last time I was on one? 3 days ago. Last time I attended a Uni class? About 5 years ago, thinking about going back again soon though. What's your point?
