    Avery was one of the first to be an activist for marriage equality because he has a lot of *** friends living in NY and being in the fashion industry, and was outspoken about it (because he's Avery).  He and his wife just had a kid.

    If it's true, it might be noteworthy. Panger also may have had a small hand in the Fabbri trade

    I can understand why youd be hesitant but i do think hes the real deal and can totally see yzerman pick him at 4 or trade back and taking him ... im all for lucas raymond but i wouldnt be flipping s*** unlike if it was rossi (sorry dont want a smurf who’ll be tossed around in the playoffs)or a perfetti(if we take him its only cause his buddies told him to )
    lIke i said our division is extremely tough and someone else might even add lafraniere so i can totally see yzerman thinking we have to build a strong d core and a top goalie to fight back
    Hopefully we add more assets to move up ,unless yzerman goes nuts and trades mantha for a top 10 pick and take askarov .... im sure loads of wings fans would love that lol

    Sure man. No other Red Wing has ever used coke. Definitely.
    Good on ya, but your family man bubble is far from the same world these rich young athletes are treading in.
    Don't you live in an ideal world lol
    Pro Tip: If you ever wanna see the degeneracy these players get into, go hang out at The Woods Lounge in GR on a weekend. You'll get to meet some fine young 19/20 year old Griffins, with fake IDs, geeked up on drugs, getting falling down drunk. It's a good time.

    Thanks for this post.
    It literally REEKS with conspiracy. It's so blatant and obvious. That's the upsetting part. The league treats us like dumb cattle who can't see what's going on. WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING GARY.
    Bettman learned under Stern in the NBA. If you follow the shady drafting during that time its not hard to see what he's doing here. It's all fixed. It's always been fixed. Crosby saves Pittsburgh. Edmonton wins year after year after year...
    We are not going to win anything until this fanbase completely bottoms out and Gary sees the need to rebuild it again. But Wings fans are loyal and hardcore and the league knows it will be awhile before they need to award us something.
    The league has lost millions in revenue due to Covid-19. Effectively what they've done is try to build anticipation and create artificial hype. Where will Lafreniere go now!?!? Stay tuned dumb cattle! Watch him go to Montreal in a few months lmao it's all so tiresome.

    Rossi, Askarov, Drysdale, Rossi, Sanderson, Holtz, Rossi, Raymond, Rossi... whichever of these players you decide to shill for, lets agree on one thing: We are not drafting Cole Perfetti. BIG AVOID. I am watching clips of him and this kid can literally barely skate. Excellent hands and what not, but this kid is NEVER going to be able to keep up with the NHL. Even if he somehow does make the transition into the big leagues, when his knees start going in his early thirties he will effectively be obsolete. Not a good investment.

    Looks like a nice kid if soft body 14 year olds are your thing. But lets be clear, he is going to get TRUCKED at the big league level by guys like Seider, and he doesn't have the speed to prevent this. I fear we do not have enough moms on this team to kiss his boo boos, rub his rosey red cheeks, and make him pancakes every Saturday. Say it with me folks: Vote no on Cole. I will entertain almost any of the other prospects (Rossi, Holtz, Sanderson, Rossi, Drysdale, Rossi, Raymond, Askarov, or Rossi) but I cannot in good faith even see an argument for poopy perfetti.

    I generally try to be at least somewhat level-headed about the Wings. Lately I find it to be draining, exhausting, the exact opposite of fun. Just a whole lot of coping, trying to talk myself into being HYPE!'d about stuff that probably doesn't warrant it.
    Yzerman has repeatedly stressed that fans are going to have to be patient, which is GM speak for "Unless we absolutely murder a couple of drafts, it's going to be at least another three years." We've dropped in every lotto draw we've been in and now we're hit with a lotto outcome that's so unbelievably stupid it's got non-conspiracy people thinking the 15-team lotto format is at best totally broken and at worst rigged.
    Mystery team wins the lotto and that will drive interest in a gimmick postseason and a gimmick second lotto, all while we get ready to use our first pick on someone who won't be in the NHL full-time until 2023 and prepare for another year of being the worst team in the league. Awesome.
    And you know what's going to happen in next season's lotto draw? We're going to drop. Or maybe we surprise everyone and finish 14th from the bottom. Given how these past few lotto draws have turned out, you'd think we'd have a good chance of winning one of the top three spots, right? Wrong. The worst three teams would get the top three picks. Because the Wings are consistently on the wrong side of everything.

    > "No, you can't have backdiving contracts, so we're going to retroactively punish you for something you did that wasn't officially considered wrong at the time. We need Parity™."
    > "No, your insistence on maintaining a winning culture and extending your playoff streak will get you no sympathy from our lotto system machinations. You should tank. It's the smart thing to do. Finishing in no man's land is stupid af. We need Parity™."
    > "No, stop tanking. Why are you tanking? My God, stop tanking. All you Red Wings do is tank. Look at all these model franchises who aren't tanking. My God, have some self-respect and show some semblance of tact. We need Parity™."
    > "Look, if you think New Jersey and Buffalo are proof that the 15-team lotto hasn't actually fixed The Edmonton Problem...how dare you. We need Parity™."
    > "Look, if you think this whole play-in thing is a cynical, calculated, underhanded gimmick designed to drive ratings...how dare you. We need Parity™."
    > "Look, the odds were against you placing in the top three, so I don't know why you're complaining. It's the odds. Who dictates the odds? Well, surely not us. The odds come down from a higher authority. God himself, in fact. We need Parity™."
    > "Colorado has dropped from 1st to 4th twice and they seem to be doing alright. I know they got MacKinnon before the 15-team lotto became a thing, but that's beside the point. If it's such a big deal to you, maybe you should've sucked as hard as the Avs did that season. Maybe then you'd have MacKinnon. We need Parity™."
    I'm tired of it. Hockey's supposed to be an escape from bulls***.

    I do feel bad for Botterhill. The Pegulas are proving to be a s*** show.
    By all reports I've read it sounds like they constantly intervened and forced him to make deals like the Skinner one. Skinner is going to f*** them for a LONG time in a big way. And at the end of the day they fired Botterhill for being a good boy. Never had a chance. Terry Pegula is a rich old oil man who's having fun playing sports now, but doesn't actually know what he's doing. Now he has business admin to be his puppet. I'm moving back to the Buffalo area next week. Should be fun. I've talked to Brad May a few times in the past. He absolutely hated working for the Sabres. "Joke team" were his own words. Last I heard from him he wanted a job with the Ducks so he could move back to Cali permanently, but it doesn't seem like that came to fruition.
    Ended up being false. That crazy priest is indeed Datsyuks personal confessor and life coach, but he was not holed up in the monastery with him.
    But when I said Pavel is a homophobic religious nut job... does anyone doubt me now?

    This is a good a time as any to announce my intentions. I will officially be shilling for Rossi at #4.
    He's torched every league he's ever been in since like age 10 He's a fantastic skater and very fast His legs are strong AF and his balance because of this is very good. Very hard to bully him in the corners and push him off the puck. When he drives the net he drops the shoulder and powers through the defense literally every time He's fearless and bulldogs opponents with his deceptive strength Has mad dangles and puck skills. Passing between legs, dangling off his skates. Very Datsyukian. He may be the best passer in the draft. His consistency of tape to tape is remarkable. He exhibits superb poise and patience with the puck. Does not force plays. He waits for his opening and then seizes it with confidence and skill. I firmly believe if he wasn't on the older side of the draft and wasn't a small frame he would be in contention for the #1 spot with Lafrenierre. I care a lot less about my forwards lacking size, especially skilled ones who exhibit speed and strength.
    Where muh Marco men at?
