    2024 Offseason Thread

    By who? All I've heard is Larkin's quote. He said, when asked about the end of the season "guys played through injury, guys laid it all out on the ice, the focus we had on the road... some guys didnt have that, and we addressed that in the offseason." Walman was benched right after the western road trip that took them to Vegas. I'm betting he was out partying during the road trips, while the rest of the team was buckling down. Stevie sent a clear message by paying to ship him out. Bob Duff also has an article out there talking about how old school Yzerman is, and how he doesnt like showboating. And the Gritty celebrations probably didnt help his case. Then you have Fabbri, who was Walmans buddy from STL, and was literally always injured... meanwhile Copp is skating througg crazy injuries and Seider is going to the hospital and then checking himself out early so he can play in the next game. Whatever happened, its clear that those two weren't viewed by management or their captain as committed to winning.

    Paying to ship out a Dman then paying to get a similar Dman, I hear ya. Crazy what steals Fabbri and Walman were, only to have to pay to be rid of them. They definately musta been the party boys on the team. I do like that Yzerman didn't fuss about it. He knew he didn't want either on the team next year, and moved them despite the price. Slowly we're becoming a big boy team

    Yeah, I read he was a standout at the Preds rookie camp. I really like Kiiskanen coming back, but we definately gave up a valuable D prospect to move Walman and keep our 2nd. Luckily I think Kiiskanen and Plante will turn out to decent middle 6 forwards. And I figure Mo and ASP are the future of our RHD, so Gibson was movable.

    Tarasenko is probably the most undiscussed and underrated signing this year. A 2 time cup champion 200 foot top 6 forward, seemingly living in Kane's shadow on this team. He gave, IMO, hands down the best interview at his training camp media availability. He made very clear his utmost concern was getting to know his teammates and learning the systems. He said he chose Detroit because he heard nothing but good things, and liked where the team was trending. But most importantly, when asked about leadership, he responded that a good leader recognizes when others around them are not doing well, on the ice or in their personal life, and they help them. This is the kind of guy you want on your team. This guy is better than 10 fabbris and 20 walmans.

    Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing

    Sheldon Dries is about to throw a wrench in your fan plans. He's the #1 forward callup. Yzerman doesn't like moving kids up and down.

    Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing

    Kaner said in his media availability that when he went to NYR, and when he came here last year, he still felt like a Blackhawk... but now he really FEELS like a Red Wing. Papa Patrick crushin coney's and lil C's pepperonis, juk uckin pot boys, lets go!

    Larkin seemed absolutely devastated when we missed the playoffs. You know he went into daddy scams office and narked on anyone who wasn't taking the spring skid seriously. Walman was seen day drinking at bars in detroit during that time. And his diet consisted of daily Chipotle, and Texas Roadhouse. Don't know what Fabbri did, but he is Italian, which isn't good.

    Larkin kinda trashed Walman and Fabbri in his presser. Said something about guys who weren't committed are gone now.

    Seider for Captain

    Chris Johnson saying Wings will likely not sign Seider for 8 years in order to lower the AAV down to around 8.5...

    Trouba, the guy who tantrumed to get out of Winnipeg? Then tantrumed to stay in NYC? Would probably be a good guy for our youngens to learn from. And his wife will finally be a full fledged brain doctor when he gets here, so when he skates wildly out of position to smash himself head first into the boards, she easily treat his massive concussion.

    Raymond has re-signed

    Glad its not a bridge Cap is going to climb rapidly and this AAV will feel more like a current $6 mil contract in 3-4 seasons.

    Red Wings Prospects

    Prospect Tourney 1st game IMO Danielson was the best player on the ice, but that's sorta expected given his age and draft capital. Not convinced he's making the wings yet, but he was supposed to look good out there and did. Can't complain. Lombardi looked slick, and Dallas's more unknown players couldnt contain him. But im kinda like... where was this dominance with the Griffs last season? Making fools of undrafted invited players is one thing, but that needs to start translating to the AHL soon. IDK just hoping he's not another Jurco. Emmitt Finnie is a DAWGGGG. Brilliant drafting by the team there. FinDog is rapidly climbing the depth chart.

    Seider for Captain

    His captain potential has been vastly overestimated. We are about a month away from images of "Mo Money" using a brick of cash as a phone in a las vegas hotel room.
