exactly. thats the point. he's only doing what "it takes". He's not using magic pixie dust and retooling a loser into a champion on the fly.

he's not going to take 8 years, regard. Late for him as a 1st rnd pick is 3-4 years.

The goid thing is that he will only be 22 when he late blooms. We drafted a guy that just needs to learn how to always be in the way. That's easiet to learn than an intangible.

They need to. Or they say Hell Nah.

clever girl, Clarise

Agreed. I like that mix.

I think it's eaay to overlook Berggren, Kasper, Mazur, Lombardi, Danielson, Edvonsson, ASP, Wallinder, Johansdon, and Cossa thinking they arent living up to theire hype. But it's really kind of the opposite. They're all playing high level hockey for being so young. I think Seider and Raymond really spoiled us.

Cossa is the guy. He's going to be our Patrick Roy. That's obvious. He's honing his NHL game right now. He'll be ready by mid next year.

I dunno, man. I feel like Yzerman is doing what a GM should be doing. Supplementing a poor farm system roster with UFA's until the farm system has more talent. The problem I have is that this isn't rocket science. It's just not being a regard like Holland. He's drafting players he knows are good and won't turn into knucklehead regards like Holland's picks. That's Yzerman's best trait. In that regard, he's worth his billing. He's an expert level judge of talent. But as far as it being some genius "Yzerplan" that we all need to lick his nuts over, no way. It's taking FOREVER to get this thing going. 5 years now and we're barely scratching the playoff point level. Any hockey mind worth his salt can rebuild a team over 5-10 years. That should be EXPECTED in the common man. If Yzerman were a true GM boss, he'd have had us rebuilt in 2 years. That would be a "Yzerplan". This is just a rebuild. But kudos to him for at least being able to complete a long rebuild. Holland was totally lost when it came to drafting guys that could build a farm system into useful tools for a rebuild. Like - walking into the wall lost.

St Louis involved, too. To Det: Chychrun To StL: Chia (1/2 salary retained), Newpower, 2nd To Ott: 1st Rnd (Boston Pick), Wallinder

wager, mr big mouth?

it would be fact if it did. ru·mor noun a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth. "they were investigating rumors of a massacre" Similar: gossip hearsay talk tittle-tattle the grapevine the word on the street goss scuttlebutt poop tea furphy fame piece of gossip report story whisper canard speculation information word news on dit buzz bruit Opposite: hard facts verb be circulated as an unverified account. "it's rumored that he lives on a houseboat"

That's the rumor part of it. It's not fact yet.

There's a rumor floating around that Stevie is in talks for Guentzel. Edvinsson was the ask, but Steve countered with Johansson. Pittsburgh will probably get more, I suspect.

I dont think you could trade him. Roll with him as a backup.

Going to be hard to dump Chia and Gost, but that's what needs to happen.

Last night was our most complete game, imo. There were two lapses on the 2 goals - 1st one Petry doing Petry things and 2nd one Perron whiffing on a clear and then quittig on the play. Tough to blame anyone else but the players on those. But outside of that, we played very well. Even Ghost had a great game. The thing that stood out to me last night was the constant effort to keep Vegas on the perimeter. Seider is a MASTER of driving guys out of scoring position, but the rest of the team usually has a hard time keeping guys out of the way of the goalie. Last night that wasnt the case. Lyon saw EVERY SINGLE SHOT and there weren't a lot of times I can recall a Vegas player with tje puck on his stick between the dots. Complete shutdown. Now Im taking it with a grain of salt because Vegas was on a back to back , but it was still nice to see the Wings playing systematically instead of haphazardly.

i dont care if Vegas played last night, we are looking good

vegas diving

sweet

thats true

lyon went full regard

roger. its a bummer cuz the Howard/Ozzie/Murphy spot is not all that pleasing to the eye. some eye candy would be nice.
