    Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing

    Definately: Holl will be gone via buyout or trade Probably: Maata makes a lot of sense with Ed and AJo joining the team. Too many LHD and not enough RHD. Maybe: Fabbri is a prime aged player that has been growing with this group for a while now. Doesnt make a lot of sense to move an asset like that. But he is often injured, and if there's a clear upgrade this could happen. Unlikely: Husso is a different situation than Ned. Ned was always an unproven project. Husso has a good track record outside of this year. The team was also allowing a ton of goals on all our goalies this year, so its hard to put all blame on him. We also have backup options in Lyon, and possibly Cossa, that werent around when Ned was starter... so the team has less of a need to desperately scramble for a new starter like we had to do with Ned. The team also included Husso in EOY media interviews... unlike Fabbri, Holl, and Maata. Something you wouldnt be inclinded to do if you planned to turn and burn the player. Conclusion: The money saved on Maata and Holl would definately go towards a new RHD. If predictions on guys like Roy and Pesce are correct they will command 5.5 - 6.5 mil. If Holl is a buyout there wont be any extra funds after this. So it may require moving Fabbri to keep Kane. IMO Husso doesnt move, but we may see another Reimeresque 3rdstring added to the mix.

    I would certaintly hope theyre arent handing out teams for free. But i dont think you have to worry about that.

    You doubt theres a clause in the sales agreement sending the coyotes to Utah that if Merulo can build an arena in Arizona within 5 years he will be awarded an expansion team? Cause there is.

    Toronto vs. Boston

    And this is why the Bruins make the playoffs every year. Brad starts pro-hypno brainwasing day 1. Someone send this article to Dylan and Mo. Personally I prefer the babcockian approach: If you ladies leave my rink, if you survive prospect training, you will be a shopwrecker. You will be a minister of truculence praying for scrums. But until that day, you are LGW whipping boys. You are the lowest form of life on the internet. You are not even human fuqqing beings. You are nothing but unorganized puck-watching pieces of floater shid! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no xenophobic bigotry here. I do not look down on Svens, Teemus, Slavas or Jean-Claudes. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all benders who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Wheel. Do you pigeons understand that?

    Rumors Thread

    I dont have much interest in Chychrun at this point. The Sens team average was -5, and Chychrun is sporting a team worst -30. And when you consider that he led their defense in even strength points, that makes it even worse. The guy is letting A LOT of goals into his own net. Yzerman wants to improve overall team D, not pick up guys like this. Pretty much everyone who has come out of that Coyotes team in the last several years has played much worse after leaving. The only one I can think of that didnt is Domi. But then even he had a sharp decline after his first and only big year with the habs. Buyer beware on Chychrun. IMO id rather pick up a RHD in UFA than spend assets for a guy like this that is also ANOTHER LHer.

    Youre joking but this is exactly how corporate teams are these days. Like Karaken rum being anncounced as the official drink/liquor of the Seattle team b4 they even announced the name.

    Toronto vs. Boston

    This exactly why I think we should take a step back, let Ghost and Kane go, and reload with youngsters. We want to build a Bruins team, and not a Leafs team that thinks they can spend their way to a cup. Bruins did it the right way, and despite every year folks saying "Bruins are about to collapse" here they are again. Because they built that culture and their young guys and UFAs are forced to buy into that culture. Leafs never accomplished or built anything besides drafting a few top guys then immedately trying to spend their way to the top. No one on that team has been there or done that and it shows. And thats exactly why we shouldnt knee jerk mortgage the future to push for a playoff run next year. Stay the course. Trust the plan.

    We still have Perron. There was that interview with Newsy awhile back, sometime around our first skid, where Newsy said Perron stood up in the room and said OKAY, WERE GETTING 18 OF OUR NEXT 20 PTS, and Newsy said he was all like "David, lets keep it realistic" but then they went out and did exactly as Perron had declared they would. Thats why I want to at least keep Perron another season.

    2024 Offseason Thread

    Dahlin, Pettersson, and Zabinejad are okay I guess. Id like to see us continue to exploit the growing Austro-German market instead. Seider, Kasper, Bicker... this is where the future draft steals will be had.

    Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing

    Yeah Yzerman is done "outscoring our problems". Subtracting Kane and Ghost is subtracting the two players who only want to play the offensive side of the puck. Its also probably about 10 million off our books. Burgers and Edvinsson taking their spots is the long term internal growth we want to push for.

    Sweden has completely fallen off since then. Name one good swede in this league now. Hedman? Thats basically it. There isnt even a single swede projected to go in the first round this year. For petes sake theres a Norwegian that will be going in the first!

    Patrick Kane IS a Detroit Red Wing

    She's gone Atlanta. And just because the divorce isnt final yet, doesnt mean there's a chance shes coming back. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can heal and look for someone who truly loves you. She was banging a whole team of guys from Chicago for years while you were too depressed to notice. Let her go.

    Relax Sven, youre getting Berggren, Johansen, and Edvinsson next year. We dont want to hear your pathetic greedy hand-rubbing over every Swedish UFA.

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    You havent mentioned it once in this thread, but by all means change the topic to the last 30 games instead of addressing anything I said. But sure, ill agree, why not, Ghost scored a good amount in the last 30. Hes still terrible at defense, and at 31 thats never going to change. Maybe next time he should play "better" in the first 50+ games and maybe then he'll keep his job.
