The 91 of Ryans

Eff this. The boring old porridge days of "come to Meijer and meet hometown heroes Luke Glendenning and Justin Abdlekader" are OVER. Copp is Abby 2.0 This team's getting back to it's sleek Eurosex roots. If I were Larkin I'd be very nervous.....Ned can stay. If, like you say, there will still be lots of room for Seider, Larkin, Raymond raises when the time comes then there will be enough money to sign a big UFA or 2 then as well. Look an Vancouver. They get a sniff with Hughes and Petterson and then blow their wad on bad contracts. Being patient as a GM means being really patient. Hang on to your money for now Stevie.

I agree that Suter is best-fit as 3C on a playoff team. Copp may be better but I ain't paying him 5-6M per. Neither will Yzerman. Not at this stage of the rebuild. He's at least 2 years away from big money long-term UFA deals IMO. Same goes for Campbell. Someone's going to overpay for the next Grubauer there and it won't be Ydude. There will be no paying 7-8M x 7 for Lindholm either. Just so you know I'm not totally picking on you.

Copp is 2 years older than Suter with one more goal this season. And while I'm not 100% sure of this, he appears to be doing it on PLD's wing. And you want to pay him as much as 2 x what Suter makes and make him 2C? No thanks.

I asked Kip the same question two weeks ago. Who are you talking about exactly? The KRSmith's of the world checked out of this hellscape ages ago. Also, this entire statement is U on LGWs.

so, a fan? so, a dogmatist?

- Signing Copp as a 2C for 5-6M per would be the dumbest move Yzerman has ever made. - Campbell's going to get PAID - Zadorov would be good

Conference finals here we come........

This post is sadness. Time to go watch GIFs of Swedish prospects..........

Since this thread will be gone by tomorrow I’d just like to say now that I think you’re all idiots…..

Double Dutch Rudder

His skating isn't as bad as previously advertised and his hands are really good for a guy his size.

First goal pretty good too

Just look at all those future whipping boys n punching bags!!

He's a UFA so you trade him 100% unless you can get him to re-sign a short term deal. I wouldn't bother though. I doubt there will be much of a Guelph squad here beyond next year anyway.

You guys are kidding yourself if you think Rasmussen’s line gets easier matchups than Suter’s

I love how they let him lay there while one of the hardest shooting D groups in the league keep trying to tee it up in a 5-1 game.

I can't really disagree with this. I just think it's funny when someone says they'd like to see Fabbri (currently in his final hockey form) re-signed because he used to play beer pong with Bertuzzi in Guelph but Zadina (same stats - still developing) should be skewered.

This season he basically has the same stats as his two line mates. 1. Is this a bad line? 2. Is he the bad player on this line? 3. Is Fabbri a bust? 4. Zadina has the best metrics on this line. So how much of Suter and Fabbri's success is accounted for by this? I think your take is pretty even-handed. Counting stats are important. Like I've said many times I'm not a Zadina apologist and don't really have any compulsion to defend the guy. But I become a weary MF when I have to wade through constant troll-speak (not U) regarding Zadina from one numskull and his fire-stoking handler.........

Awesome sssschit to wake up to I'm telling ya

NO one was talking to you ya fukin gremlin

Wings continue to get munched by big, chippy, hardworking, sort of fast teams. Calgary + Capitals + Boston + Dallas + Vegas Also “VGK” D is Stevie Wonder and Wings D is Usher

You’re learning

Well. I was barely trying

Does Yzerman know about any of this Blashill being an awful HC stuff? I can’t believe Blashill was given another contract tbh
