    The bolded doesn't exist here. The absolute state of a nation that have to give out foodstamps to its citizens. Thats sounds like communist Russia to me.

    Finding that type of a defenseman in that age range between 23 and 26 would be great for our rebuild. We desperately need defensemen that are able to get the puck out of our own zone and find the tape of our forwards. Our transition game is atrocious.

    I'm finding different sources on this. What generation do I slot into if I'm born in '84?

    Thank you. I'm glad they put the 'Just about' part in the constitution for you guys. Would you say that 'fighting words' are just as bad as actual violence or worse?

    I'm thinking we would be buying low on him. And he possesses the most sacred of hockey talents. That Right Hand Shot.

    https://theathletic.com/2009681/2020/09/01/2020-nhl-organizational-rankings-no-18-detroit-red-wings/?source=rss&redirected=1 Detroit ends up at number 18 of the Athletics ranking of farm systems. It's a drop from 13th place from the year before. Make of that what you will but obviously this years draft is another crucial one for our future.

    Khudobin has been a beast for Dallas this year but with the flat cap and also having Bishop on the books for the next three years its gonna be difficult for the Stars to keep them both.

    Wait a minute, I got confused, I was thinking about Khudobin. Isn't Lehtonen retired?

    It's absolutely an option. Kari is a pretty good goalie and the price should not be to steep.

    I don't care what you or someone else think either. I mean, aren't we all here quarreling on an anonymous Red Wings forum for entertainment? I'm certainly not on a mission to convince some guy I don't know on the other side of the planet what I believe on this issue or anything else. And it was never my intent for you to feel attacked. Anyways, we both agree on that one year would be better and we are closer together on the money than we was at the beginning. You see this more of a special case than I do. Sums it up pretty good. Peace, brother! I certainly hope so. I'm just curious how it works, though. If management and the players representatives both believed the deal would end in RFA and came into agreement and sent in the papers to the league offices and later found out that the league judged it so that Fabbri was entering UFA after it. Could the Red WIngs demand an annulment or to get the contract backtracked somehow? Its all very unlikely of course but in a scenario they both agreed maybe nobody bothered to pick up the phone and ask the league or PA what they thought. There sure seems to be room for a lot of interpetations in the CBA.

    Here's an interesting thought: Capfriendly first reported the deal as Fabbri being RFA at the end of it before they changed it to UFA. Apparently there was some unclearness about the wether the season he missed completely should count into the seven years that makes it UFA after. Is it possible that management made a mistake and negotiated the deal in faith of it making him a RFA at the end of it?

    But even if he gets whats on the low end of comparable players that would still be over 2 million. Dogs*** players sign their third contract for 1,5 m. Despite injury Fabbri doesn't deserve a dogs*** deal. Way to much talent in him. You gotta pay for that too. I think a fair deal for both parts would have been 2,5 m for one year. Gives him the dollars that represents what kind of player he is and gives Detroit the advantage of RFA status at the end of it.

    As I have stated before; I would have prefered a one year deal because in a small part of his previous injury and mainly because this carries him into UFA. The injury history doesn't post a threat to our economy anyways since the deal is still short. What I'm arguing is that the money is about right* and your proposal is way off in regards to that. Again: What the absolutely highest AAV you would be okey with? *edit: in terms of production

    I call it a setback when you have the same injury twice without playing any games inbetween. But how is any of this good GM'ing? When you come off a 0.6 ppg season that offer would have been offensive. Also, re the bolded, where do you get that from? I think we have established that Mantha is a good comparable and when it comes to injuries Mantha is Mr Glass compared to Fabbri. Ok. Lets find som sort of middle ground. What the absolutely highest AAV you would have been content with?

    You would make a great assistant GM to Kip.
