    2024 Offseason Thread

    5 seasons into an SY rebuild. No playoffs. Only 2 of his draft picks on the roster. But hey, we got Radek Simek.

    Tag Bertuzzi released from his PTO with Belleville! I think we can still sign him this year

    2024 Offseason Thread

    Separate discussion, I suspect Luff, Aston-Reese, Simek, Hutchinson, and Newpower will be gone next year. It will be interesting to see what Horcoff does. i think we can reload internally with Buchnelikov, Anton Johansson, and ASP. But some more vets will be needed. Jacob Turcott is an option at D... or Cade Webber if Toronto can't get hm signed. I'd rather get a project like this than sign another washed up vet like Simek or Rafferty. Our AHL D isn't children anymore. At forward we just need some additonal Reeves/Rempe/Gadovich regards.

    Derek: "I loved our effort in Arizona" >we lost 0-4 and played like garbage Derek: "I thought we had a really good first period" >Outshot 19-7 by Vegas This is guy is either fuqqing delusional, or he's a terrible coach. Because a good coach would be honest and hold his team accountable. Blash 2.0 players friend wannabe. We're never winning dick wth this Ted Flanders at the helm.

    EXACTLY - Feels like Yzerman has broken the plan this year. The Simek deal was a "look - I tried" trade too. Fake BS he didn't need to do just to make it look like he was working phones. Beginng of this season: all time high End of season: new low We need to talk about this summer; What SY does should be very indicative. If he goes out and signs a bunch of Ghostbears again, Ii'm sorry but a lot of my faith will be long gone.

    Oh @The 91 of Ryans I'd love to know your thoughts on this and why you disagree

    I had a thought last night that SY views Larkn as the veteran on this team. That Larkin will be the old grizzled vet that finally brings us a cup at 32-35. That's 5-8 years of mindless retooling before a cup. I think obviously this is the most disappointed in Yzerman I have ever had. He has to have real magic up his lseeve this summer or this is going to look like a quagmire. We don;t have enough young pieces on this team to be endlessly hopeful.

    Asked and answered Explain to me what we accomplished at this TDL? It's amazing how many questions of yours I've answered and you still refuse to address this I asked on the last page. Again, just go back to the kids table so Kip and I can talk real perspectives on this.

    I didn't imply you're scared of Kip. I explicitly said you're dumber than him. You're scared of me, which is why you won't answer my question or defend your point.

    I absolutely believe in culture building. And if Yzerman had chosen to add, I would've supported the playoff run. But sellng Kostin to aid your AHL squad, is not indicative of that. If you think adding Berggren is as good as adding foreign NHL talent, then why didn't SY add him sooner? You're regarded and believing the obvious Holland-esque fibs all over again if you buy this shiq. (Speaking in realtive terms here, not directed at you) I had mad respect for Yzerman last year, when we were close, and he made the executive decision to sell. This year he didn't do that. That's fine, but that means you buy. Doing nothing is the dead mans path. That all said, look to our situation this summer, it's going to be letting pieces walk for nothing summer. I could defend signing stop gap vets when they are sale pieces, but now you're just propping up a team that wont win. Dumb. Look how you reign it in now that daddy kip is here and he agrees with me. Good boy.

  14. Troy McClure

    It moves the needle A LOT more than doing nothing wouldn't you agree? Two 2nd's and possibly many more later picks added is a really good return at a TDL. It also clears space for rookies to get 10 to 15 games of experience before next year. I suspect you're being purposely regarded now. And again, do you have an answer to my question, or are you just lost in all of this?
  15. Troy McClure

    Detroit Like Our Teams VS. Las Vegas Maneuvering Cup Chqmps

    Why are you avoiding my question? I suspect it's because you don't have an answer for it. Just you like didn't when I first criticized Blash... or DK... or Zadina. It's just "I like my red wings so I'm going to defend them without critical thought" all over again. I'll answers your question though. Add picks. Ghost is having a great year, adding a 4th or a 5th gets you there. But I suspect you're smart enough to know that already... you just like avoidng my line of inqury.

    Big bold sack move only real GMs can swing? The dissonance is strong with you. This is the bare minimum you're talking about. Yzerman didn't do even that. A run of the mill GM could have gotten at least a single 2nd, if not two of them, out of our UFA's. I get you love the Red Wings, but step back and look at what they're doing (or not doing) for two seconds please.

    How long does Yzerman's good-will leash extend with you before you're allowed to criticize him? Or Explain to me why this TDL was a 4D chess galaxy brain gold star move by Yzerman?
  21. Troy McClure

    Detroit Like Our Teams VS. Las Vegas Maneuvering Cup Chqmps

    That's where you are wrong buster brown. Given my way, I would have sold all UFA's. But I was also 100% open to adding obviously. If SY thought it was time to round a corner with this franchise I would have supported it. As long as the adds were good and not Legwand for Jarnkrok type crap. That's the weird bubble land we're in right now. But one thing I do not endorse, or am open to, is sitting on our hands. That's what Holland did, and it took a mediocre team, with good pieces, slowly down into the gutter with him. Teams who can't pick a direction at the deadline are deader than the teams that sell, they just don't know it yet.

    3/8 GDT Wings @ Coyotes (9:00pm EST)

    I genuinely want this team to win. But this an once instance where Scotts regard thoughts are correct. How long does Yzerman's good-will leash extend with you before you're allowed to criticize him?

    Detroit Like Our Teams VS. Las Vegas Maneuvering Cup Chqmps

    We like our team. Kicked some tires, but prices were too high. Berggren is just as good as Jake Guentzel anyway. Kaner was our deadline acquisition. Made one BS side trade to make it look like I'm working. Thinking about re-signing Perron to keep this streak alive. Holland would be lynched for this lmao most valuable thing about SY to the Illitch family is that his leash is infinitely long with media and fans. "Stephen Yzerman told top prospect Berggren to 'lol kill yo self" and then farted directly into the young players open mouth. Here's why that's a good thing." Watch him re-sign Seider and Raymond and Perron and call it a summer. Just wait for it.
