Motor City Mullets

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.

Rabbi Scott Lucidi Of The PizzaJew Tribe Is Harassing Rabbi FMichael About Adding Too Much Pepperoni To A Hand Tossed Pizza.

Should’ve used Artflow AI If Trouba and his agent are savvy enough they can manipulate the list so he’ll stay in NY.

Masters of the ancient art of meme creation do not make use of AI - passion, skill, and a sense of 'smartassery' is needed for such masterpieces...

who ?

If I was a betting man I'd say Sprong will likely find out that most teams out there won't give him what he wants and he'll re-sign with Detroit for 1 to 3 years.

Agreed...I don't want another 'Nick Leddy' on our blueline.

As I've said before - we really don't have any generational talent, or guys close to it...We'll have a 'good' team in Detroit - just not likely to be 'great'. 'Minnesota Mediocrity' is real folks...

Indeed and he could leave certain teams that are at the cap 'off' that list knowing that these clubs are likely not interested in his services nor could they afford him. Trouba is probably going to be a NYR for this upcoming season.

At this point why even bother with him? If he doesn't want to be a Red Wing - fine by me...The last thing we need is some guy who doesn't want to play in Detroit and spreads his discontent throughout the locker room.

His miles on the odometer is getting up there, but hopefully he won't blow a gasket for us these next 2 seasons...With Yzerman being fairly quiet I'm wondering if there's still a trade/s to be made (ahem Trouba)...

Talbot is our next Reimer...Hopefully he and Lyon will share the crease 50/50...Husso can stay in GR until he gets healthy and learns how to stop a puck again (without getting hurt). The way teams are throwing around $$$ there may not be much left for a 2nd rate UFA like Sprong...I wouldn't be surprised if he re-signs with Detroit for a fair raise that works for both sides.

$5 we’re getting dirty…Bert’s gonna return.

That crosscheck must’ve impressed the brass.

Apparently Nashville is hot to trot for Stamkos as is Detroit...No income state tax must be appealing; Florida ---> Tennessee.

I'd rather not have him if he doesn't want to be here, or is coerced into accepting a trade to Detroit...Don't want some sourpuss donning the Winged Wheel. Nick Leddy was rather useless...Do not want a repeat. Now that Holland is done with Edmonton - rumors are he'll take on some management role in Chicago.

Yeah - Kane for 1 year...Don't mind that 1 bit - was under the impression he wanted 3 years...
