Browsing reddit this morning and I see Caps fans aren't exactly thrilled with the Nick Jensen acquisition at this point. He's sorta their whipping boy. Meanwhile we will be picking in the 2nd round with their draft pick this year HA We seem to be very good at over-hyping completely below-average players and getting other teams to buy them. Jensen, Smith, Jurco, etc. Is this our super power?

Search your inner feelings You know it's true This feels right

THERE, there's the bias inherent in the system

No way. Yzerman will trade Albin Grewe for Michael Dal Colle, sign Jan Rutta to a 2 x $3, and from there the sky is the limit.

Kenny: - Poolparty takes European vacation - Signed Sheahan for 900K - No retarded trades I'll never forget you Ken

Robert Fabbri is a brand new ambitious hockey player that is taking the NHL by storm and over 10 million fans have been already bought his jersey. His mitts are so good that it looks like he's playing in a mites game out there. He has strategic IQ, massive hits, automatic passing, an amazing wrist shot and over 400 highlight reels to choose from. My favorite reel is the one wear he scores his first Wings goal because the script says I have to say which one is my favorite or I won't get the money. But you don't have to take my word for it, because Fabbri has over 250 thousand fans online NOW chatting about Robby that definitely aren't fake. If you want to find me online, my username is xX_Trap_Fabbri69_Xx and my clan is xX_Epic_Spaghetti420_Xx. What are you waiting for, check out the link in the description to sign up and get 50000 Fabbri silver (which you definitely don't get automatically) and a free epic Fabbri avatar (the worst Fabbri avatar) as a part of the new fan program. Anyway thank you to the Fabbri Fan Flock for giving me a metric f*** ton of money from Italy in exchange for me being a shill to you.

That's a tough one. Let me think on it.

Really without the Fabbri trade, his transactions look like the bumblings of a clown, and I really would give him an F. Credit to @krsmith17 on the waivers thing. I wouldn't have looked into it deeper if he wasn't so INSANELY BUTT HURT about losing Comrie. Yzerman could have sat back and picked off a Baertschi, Shore, Noesen, or Zykov. But noooooooo he had to trade valuable assets to divisional rivals to get most punchable face ever Adam Erne, and goof-off Perlini. Not sure if you listen to spittin chiclets but Biz said the reason they originally traded Perlini out of Arizona was cause he's a total slacker and doesn't take anything seriously. Now he's ours in exchange Regula who went to Chicago GREAT TRADE STEPHEN Nemeth isn't as awful as most. He does his job. He's 27 and coming off a season as the 6th man for Colorado. I was kinda hoping this was his time to step up and play a bigger roll in his prime, but he still looks like a 6th man place filler to me. I think on any other team this guy would make half as much money as he's making now.

Since Givani Smith re-joined the team on 12/31 he has just as many 5v5 points as Zadina, despite receiving 65 minutes less of ice time over that span and playing with Ehn and Abby, who have have 5 pts between them on the season. Suck on that Smith haters

What's that? Sorry, it's hard to hear you when I have two lovely ladies whispering into each ear. Get dabbed on hater.

Welcome to beautiful Detroit David, that's a lovely high round pick you brought with you

I see it as entirely futile to try and get through to you here. Sorry for the wasted post.

Correction: Soon to be HC

Found the hater

I think it's a good time to reevaluate Yzerman with the coming TDL on the horizon. We've seen over a half season of this mans leadership now and there will be some big expectations on him going into the Feb deadline. My mid-season grade: D I've been very hard on some of our players this season, now it's Yzerman's turn. One thing I can say now that I couldn't say in July: This guy certainly isn't Holland. However, the things he's done differently have almost as a whole been all failures. The teams entire season from Yzerman down has been one giant failure. Let's recap: Signed: Filppula, Nemeth, Pickard, and Kaski Filppula - on pace for 26 pts and we're stuck with him and his $3 mil cap hit again next season. He will be turning 37 next season and seems unable to help the team in any meaningful way. FAIL Nemeth - on pace for 14 pts and we're stuck with him and his $3 mil cap hit again next season. At the prime age of 27 I was sorta hoping Yzerman was pulling diamond out of the rough. Guy plays like just another warm body. FAIL Pickard - not able to help the Red Wings when called up. Below average AHL numbers. Getting outperformed by guys on Griffins and Walleye contracts. FAIL Kaski - this little project piece was given up on almost before it even started and was traded for an AHL journeyman. FAIL Trades: Erne, Biega, Perlini, Comrie, Fabbri, Wood Erne for a 4th - Erne is on pace for 6 pts and appears to be a totally useless 4th liner. We essentially gave-away our 4th round pick for a run of the mill player that we coulda pulled out of UFA at anytime. FAIL Biega for Pope - Pope was a total bust and Biega actually contributes to the team (albeit very little) WIN Perlini for Regula - Perlini is on pace for 6 pts and appears to be totally useless offensively and defensively. I'm not sure anyone would give up a 7th rounder for him at the moment, and yet we gave-away a 19 year old, 3rd round, Michigan native, right hand Dman, who's having a tremendous season in the OHL this year. FAIL Comrie for Saarijarvi - Saarijarvi wasn't worth much, but the asset we got for him didn't even remain with the organization for 3 weeks. FAIL Fabbri for de la Rose - This trade is about the only thing stopping me from giving Yzerman an F as a grade. WIN Kaski for Wood - Wood is on pace for 9 AHL points with the Griffs right now. Kaski since being traded is lighting it up and is on pace for 53 AHL points with the Checkers. Why did we even bother signing this guy just to give up on him immediately and trade him for something worse? FAIL Waivers - Does Yzerman know what these are? Being the last team in the league, we have 1st dibs on anyone we want on the waiver wire, if anything this is prime-time to acquire players via waiver fors us. The system was literally designed to benefit teams in our position. And yet, Yzerman has done nothing on this front. In fact he's actually lost players to waivers (Comrie) this season. It leaves one scratching ones head wondering "WTF are you even doing Stephen". He managed to trade a waiver pickup for Fabbri, but apparently sees no value in getting more of these free assets? Instead he trades away valuable picks and prospects for players like Erne and Perlini who bring absolutely nothing to the team. Waiver players Yzerman has neglected to claim since November: Tobias Reider Luke Witkowski Martin Marincin Nic Petan Tomas Jurco Michael Hutchinson Tyler Lewington Brian Gibbons Michael Haley Dryden Hunt Brandon Pirri John Gilmour Valentin Zykov Joel Hanley Nicholas Shore Joe Blandisi Keith Kinkaid TJ Tynan Steve Kampfer Lukas Radil Sven Baertschi Stefan Noesen Eric Comrie Austin Czarnik Andy Andreoff Markus Granlund Brandon Manning Aaron Ness Dalton Smith Christian Folin Matt Tennyson Logan Shaw Andreas Englund Brett Ritchie Chris Stewart The list goes on There are a number of players on that list I would take over Adam Erne or Brendan Perlini, but nah Yzerman would rather piss away assets than get just as good players for free. A number of players on that list actually WERE claimed too, by other more competitive teams whom we could have outbid. That's the saddest part. Coming out of last season I think everyone, including myself, was very hopeful for this season. Things seemingly couldn't get any worse, no where to go but up right? And their was a glimmer of hope, the kids finished the season super strong and Yzerman was joining the team. Was I expecting playoffs? Absolutely not. But I expected progress. This doesn't look like progress. Almost everything has regressed (even kids) and there's only about 4 or 5 players having ok seasons. Couple that with the number of transactions Yzerman has made that look like total foolishness now in hindsight, and my eyebrows are more than a bit raised. Does this chap even know what he's doing? If I removed the Yzerman label and presented this as Holland transactions fans would be buying pitchforks and lighting torches. I really think Stephen needs to have a tremendous TDL to salvage some face. What he's been doing has not been good, and the state of the team reflects that. inb4 someone says "He's tanking". We were already tanking, this is just pouring salt on the wound mismanagement at this point.

Zadina thread November/December 2018

Am I a joke to you?

Damn millenials and there... *draws card* Rag trading

Fabbri IS objectively better than Zadina though. Any argument to the contrary is just coming from people who thinks its fun to poop on Fabbri.

With our rank in the standings too we basically have 1st dibs on anyone we want, and yet Yzerman has claimed NO ONE. Of all times to be making waiver pickups this is it, and yet he sits on his thumbs.

"Greetings traveler. Jiri has rags if you have coin."

Damn so Yzerman not only f***ed up by not claiming Comrie, he's basically not exploiting the waiver wire at all. Even Ken ******* Holland knew how to get young players on waivers. We dont get Fabbri without the DLR waiver pickup afterall. Now we have a potentialless Tangradi eating up minutes in GR. What is Stevie Y even doing anymore.

Yeah like Winnipeg did. Claimed him and waived him. Why can't we do the same?

Lafren is barely tall enough to play C Im thinking the same Ideally centers should be between 6'1" and 6'4" Any shorter or any taller and you're a winger
