My point wasnt that an elephant is close to a tiger Im aware they arent. My point was that none of the other things Axl was talking about were close either. Predator could be like the movie? Wtf? Have you seen the Preds logo? Thats like saying the Blue Jackets could be a literal blue jacket/coat.

I agree that the Yeti is to similar to the Aves because of there mascot but I feel your reaching a bit on the closeness of some of the other names. Blizzard to close to Avalanche? Venom (dumb name) to close to Blue Jackets? How? Fury to close to Flames? What? If your playing that game Mammoth is to close to the other extinct animal the saber-tooth tiger (Predators).

Forsberg-Pettersson-Nylander Bratt-Zibanejad-Lindholm Kempe-Karlsson-Raymond Nyquist-Eriksson-Ek-Arvidsson Olofsson/Rakell Hedman-Karlsson Dahlin-Andersson Lindholm-Ekholm Forsling Ullmark Markstrom Side note anyone notice Nyquist just had a career year 75pts at 34 years old?

Zeev will likely be gone before the Red Wings pick. I hope Eiserman continues to fall. Both are likely top 10 picks though unfortunately.

I remember banging the table HARD for Josh Doan in the 2021 draft. Instead we took Shai Buium and Doan went one pick later to ARI, and has 2G 3A in first 3GP with the yotes. Buium likely wont play a single NHL game. Theres always whiffs in the draft but this is one thatll always piss me off.

I'll be honest in saying that I hope the Wings get their a$$e$ handed to them on this road trip so we don't have any more false hope

Were 2pts out of a wild card spot with 10 games remaining. A lot can happen in that time. We just have to pass one of WSH/PHI - more likely the latter. Its still within reach. Why not hope we can go on a run and get in rather then hope we fall flat on our face? Its prob not likely we get in but as far as hoping goes Im gonna hope we go on another run - weve done it several times this season. If its lottery luck your hoping for were more likely to make the playoffs then any lotto balls falling our way. I question decisions made by Yzerman/Lalonde but Im still gonna root for this team to win.

What do you mean? We signed native Michigander Andrew Copp that offseason. Great signing. Hes only 2 years older $625k more expensive and produces half as much. Why would we want former 3rd overall pick, 6'3" RHC Dylan Strome?

I have higher expectations for Soderblom over this scrub. Rempe will be outta the league in a year. The only reason hes there now is because of his size. He sucks.

GTFOH!

I know nothing about Ziemmer but whats the reason he went 78 and Danielson went 9? Danielson - 6'2 185lbs. RHC D - 68GP 33G 45A 78PTS D+1 - 52GP 24G 39A 63PTS Ziemmer - 6'1 203lbs. RHW D - 68 GP 41G 48A 89PTS D+1 - 21GP 11G 20A 31PTS

I agree with the point your making I just dont think Eaves/Helm was a good example. I do recall Eaves getting looks in the top 6 maybe not as much as Helm/Abby but that mayve been as much Dats/Z as it was Babs decision. Either way I agree that Kostin should have been utilized better here and Czarnik being called up instead of playing Berggren or calling up Kasper/Mazur is terrible. For the now and the future.

Wasnt Eaves very good defensively and 1 of our top PKers along with MIller and Helm?

Derek has to go.

I think Michael McCarron would be a good pickup if were looking for a big physical winger that can answer the bell. Still has 2 years with NSH but could probably be had for cheap and is a MI native and can chip in offensively in a bottom 6 role.
