Motor City Mullets

Continue to ponder what was Holland & Co thinking when taking the 1-trick pony in Zadina over Hughes who was 40 miles down the road at AA?

Augustine is gonna kick Cossa to the curb ala Spartans style...

I'll $hit my pants if either makes more $$$ aav than Larkin (especially Raymond) with this upcoming contract...That said I could see both making more after a 3 year bridge and signing long term for a higher aav. Either way both will be in camp in a few weeks.

You 2 need to get a room.

We shall anoint Scott as the new KRS with his bad takes and doubting the abilities of Chaddy Chiarot.

HOCKEY WATCH

Nothing will happen...Lalonde will finish the season and if anything he won't be offered a new contract like Blashill.

Yeah - I have a feeling Seider will sign a bridge for 2 reasons: 1) CBA expires in 2 years after the 2025/2026 season: BoG in the past has been rumored in wanting to lower contract length ie from 8yrs/7yrs to what could be as low as 6yrs/5yrs...Of course the NHLPA would want UFA at 25, or 26 which would benefit bridge deals for both Seider and Raymond. 2) Yzerman will want neither Seider nor Raymond to make more than Larkin at this time...However a few years from now, cap likely to increase, new CBA, an experienced/mature Seider and Raymond will likely be able to command more than Larkins aav (in particular Seider). EDIT 3 REASONS... Seider's agent

I honestly wouldn’t mind him at a discounted price seeing that we could use some violence from our blue line and with Rempe on the NYR they have that covered.

He’s just asking to get waived and/or bought out. HF Boards NYR fans have been disappointed with him in both his apparent decline in play and rejecting any trade.

The last thing Yzerman wants to do is hand out blank checks to young guys like Dubas had done with the Tronna Pretty Boys. IMHO neither Seider/Raymond will make more than DBoss for the next 2 to 4 seasons aav and it's highly unlikely they'd get more even if they both signed a 7, or 8 yr deal before the start of this season. I'm thinking they'll each get a bridge deal worth anywhere from $5.5 to $7.5 aav and then when that expires they'll have the opportunity to demand equal to, or more than Larkin. Also - keeping in mind the current CBA is in it's final 2 yrs - after the 2025/2026 season there could be significant changes.

Lyon...Guy's making league minimum (or damn near it) and kept this team within range of the playoffs...Def the Red Wings unsung hero.

At least Sprong can score goals/generate some offense where as Sleepy Joe…Don’t get me wrong - not a big fan of either guy…Joe will likely end up in a similar spot as his draft partner.

Can I haz wut yur smokin? Veleno is a 4th liner…Nothing stands out with what he does on ice…Not overly skilled nor is he physical…TBH I’d rather have seen that $$$ spent on Sprong.

IMHO he got a good deal considering he doesn’t bring anything to either the 3rd or 4th lines. If there’s anyone on this roster that needs to watch Draper/Maltby clips - it’s him.

No worries - it'll get done...Neither is likely gonna collect shopping carts at Costco anytime soon.

Nothing in that article is news - but if Trouba doesn’t want to be in Detroit then so be it.
