The 91 of Ryans

"Number9 is a quitter" goes bottom row  - middle tile 

That give n go with Elmer was hot! 

Personally, I have vowed to never get excited about hockey again. 

Well wasn’t I an idiot. I got HYPED

I just think Jim Nill specifically was a tough loss. Hell, he's 4 x the GM Kenny is r n

Yeah and now Dallas are drafting like wizards
Coincidence? 

Well Fabbri + Perron + GBear flipped at the deadline frees up 12M
Chiarot n Hall combine for 8 for the next three years so that’s gross but you have to assume management has a plan I guess? 

1. Should have taken Sanderson over Raymond
2. Should have taken Wyatt Johnson over either goalie in 2021
3. Should have tanked for one more season

Kane scored 92 points in 21-22 and would have been 2nd in points on this team last year playing hurt. 
1 year 7M (minimum)

Even if he's adequately "recovered" he still missed an entire offseason of training/conditioning/development. If you broke your leg and it took six weeks to heal you'd technically be "recovered" but I doubt you'd be out running 10Ks immediately afterward.
Personally I'd prefer he start in GR and stay there until he's up to game speed. Once he's dominating, call him up. I don't see any reason to rush it considering we've got seven NHL caliber defensemen on the roster without him.

Not sticking up for Axl here because f*** that guy 
But there is this. Took me 2 seconds.
Unless you want a media quote from Yzerman himself, pre lotto, saying 'hey-yo I'm taking Timmy" 
FWIW I do remember there was speculation about Detroit and Stutzle. But I mean there is so much pre-draft click-bait BS every year that this is all pretty dumb. 

The hybrid public/fan confidence management rankings on the Athletic (voter based) has the Wings dropping from 3rd last year to 12th this year. Fans gave management a B and the public gave them a C+. Aligns with Pronman's U23 prospect rankings. Big drop there as well. 
I don't know what the f*** is going on but I've never seen so much doom n gloom. I swear things were more optimistic when Holland was trading Datsyuk and drafting Cholowski. 
Real talk: are the Wings really going to be a mushy middle team for a decade or is the rest of the league's fans and writer's insane?

we call these players busts around these parts. 

Suck it, Mahonas

You two. Arguing over who's going to be more wrong.

Cuz he bailed on the final year of his contract like a lil bit-ch. 
Bergeron is alpha. A real man. A true leader. A lover of all people and all genders. A real hero. 

Just a great player and a great guy on and off the ice.

Take their playoff spot and their pick 

But they jumped the gun a bit imo. Canucks' style. Traded a lot of good draft picks away trying to accelerate thingsand also getting into a bit of cap trouble while the Wings continue to make their 1st round picks and maintain cap flexibility. So, I think depth wins and Wings are better now and long term most definitely a better outlook. 

They did. And I didn't mean they look better long term either. Just that right now(looking at young core) they are a step ahead. Things can change as soon as this season though. Raymond takes another step, Kasper plays in the top six, Edvinsson emerges and we look better.
