Red Wings move back to western conference. Boom! Solved. Same. Pretty much where the Rangers are right now. We probably wont have a Panarin though.

Lots of pieces still missing, obviously. My meaning was that we could start to "turn the corner" in 2 years but being a team to reckon with is probably still 4-6 years away.

Yzerman didn't have any delusions about this team and where its was at when he signed on. And certainly nothing has changed sinced the last offseason when he signed Mantha to a 4-year contract. Seen this piece being posted elsewhere and some posters seems to think trading Mantha set the rebuild back 2-3 years. Nonsense, poopy pants! I think the leap from being a playoff team to being a legit contender is far greater than going from rebuild/retool/whatever to battling for a playoff spot. Tanking->Competitive--->Regular Playoff-team--------------->Contender I think the Wings are back in the hunt for a playoff spot in two years, but that doesn't mean they will be anywhere close to be contending for the Stanley Cup by then. Take the time - do it right. God forbid we end up like Montreal going in-and-out of the playoffs every year with no chance of actually competing in the long run.

I'd love to have a ****** on >my team. Wings have been too nice for too long. What? LGW filters "doüche"?

"So Steven, how about Nyquist?" "This does not make sense to me."

I don't think it's a good idea to have Seider carry Cholowski next year. Not that he probably couldn't handle it. Playing with Gelinas in SHL this season have done him lots of favors. You can see how he plays with confidence and the security of knowing he has a steady partner to back him up. Ryan Murray? Ian Cole maybe?

True. Get rid of finnish retardation and they might have a chance. Werenski is Detroit bound tho.

Gotta hand it to CBJ. This is the absolutely right time to make these trades. Getting a 1st for both Savard and Foligno is real good. If this was Holland at the helm, a new 3-year contract would be waiting for those guys at the end of the season and Kenny trying to do some meaningless tweaks.

You like that huh How about this one?

*Viro gets traded for a Perlini type player next year*

So who do Detroit pair with Seider next year? Can we risk his development by putting him together with one of the scrubs currently on our roster? UFA?

Here's a Ship post for you

Can it be that the ability to retain can be valuable at the exp draft and therefor Yzermann was hesitant to use all three of them now?

Somebody needs to ask Blashill at a presser or something to explain the game of hockey. I'm sure the answer would be interesting.

Funny how the player of the week is practicing on the fifth line as an extra.

1: Mantha (It’s over 9000 Lg!) . . . . . 9999: the rest of the team

On topic: 31 prospects; Red Wings Seider among top performers of 2020-21

>the lottery is convoluted and unfair >lets make it more convoluted! I agree with some posters here. Just go back to a normal draft order with the worst team getting the first pick. Tanking will still be a thing no matter how you spin it.

Wasn’t that Datsyuk? Filppula in 2008? And wasnt Larionov 2C in 98 with Federov on his wing?

So in other words: we know nothing. No report anywhere on what the 'upper body' injury is about?

Anybody knows what’s up with Bert?

Idk, these guys looks pretty badass to me
