    I would certainly do it. Wings have two players on the roster with contracts that stretches beyond next season. Neal and Koskinen for 2 and 1 more year(s) after this season ends is very manageable. And 1st’s coming from Edmonton can end up anywhere from just outside the top 10 to the bottom 5.

    I guess Stevie wants to keep everything short term and is willing to pay players a little bit extra for shorter contracts.

    Mantha or AA - Which Player is Lazier?

    Yup, pretty much sums it up. Just goes to show how meaningless talent is when you don't put in the work.

    The number 3 on the trade board screencap you posted earlier might be something Very Manthaesque

    I literally stopped reading. I assumed he meant depth for Red Wings.

    I copy-pasted this article for a member on this board. This is what it said about the Wings players. 13. Luke Glendening, Red Wings: He’s just about the perfect depth add for a team hoping to make a long playoff run. For a team high on skill but looking for an edge on their fourth line, Glendening might be the best option. He wins a ton of faceoffs and is miserable to play against. He’s also a pure rental. The more interesting speculation surrounds the younger Detroit forwards up the lineup. There’s also a belief that Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman would consider trading one of his younger forwards like Tyler Bertuzzi and Anthony Mantha in the right deal. “I wouldn’t be shocked if (Yzerman) moved one of his top young forwards,” said one exec. “I think he’s listening on a lot of things.” 15. Jonathan Bernier, Red Wings: Bernier’s numbers really don’t reflect just how well he’s played for the last year or so on a pretty bad Red Wings team. Through 10 games, he had a .918 save percentage this season. His strong play goes back to the second half of last season, where he had a .910 save percentage in the final 18 games for Detroit. And that’s not a great defense in front of him either. A return to Colorado might make sense here. 16. Bobby Ryan, Red Wings: He got off to a strong start and still continues to show flashes of the great hands that made him a regular 30-goal scorer. He’s a veteran who would seamlessly fit into any dressing room and he can still play with great players. “He can chip in. He’s cheap,” said an executive. “I think he could be a nice add for someone, get in on the third line and a little power play time.”

    More bulls*** from Larry Brooks Because every other owner or GM that comes up with suggestions of change regarding the NHL are always thinking of the greater good... And how is postponing the draft going to favor the Red Wings especially?

    By Blashills logic Gagner should be demoted to taxi squad just about now.

    Hockey Trade?

    Re Mantha: I would like to see a coaching change and see what that can do for his play before we put him on the market. His value isn’t exactly on a all-time-high right now.

    2/23 GDT - Predators at Red Wings - 7:30 PM EST

    If you sort the standings by P% both Ottawa and Detroit lies at .310, Vancouver is at .391. Vancouver also have 3 more wins than Detroit in only 2 more games played. The next three teams counting from the bottom is Anaheim(.400), Buffalo(.438) and NYR(.441). All have one more win in fewer games played. I don't see us crawling out of the bottom-two any time soon. The Wings is the worst team in the league, sad but true.
