But it wasn't picking a fight when you called me a retard for pointing out that Kane and Dcat did not in fact say what you were asserting.... right. Tells us more about this bus of yours. Does it often take you to message boards to pick fights and name call? Or is that just your very mature very adult reaction any time someone proves you wrong?

I like how youve now edited your old comment and removed the first time you called me an idiot lol but then say you stand by it here! Oh sweet summer child, you certainly are cute.

Well Ive clearly shown Dcat didn't say he thinks Kane will be here next year. And Kane didn't talk about which Wings he wants to play with next year. So yeah, those things only exist in your head movies. Probably why you have to resort to name calling. Run along now so the adults can continue to discuss.

Maybe don't post fake crap and then resort to calling people the R slur when they call you on it. If you can do that, I'll stop acting like "an idiot". Cause that's what folks who don't make up players statements are... "idiots". Good talk. Idiot and proud.

Now that we've cracked the case, let's sum this up: Kane seems very interested in staying to you, and you think he'll be back because: A. On whichever team he chooses, who he plays with will matter B. DeBrincat doesn't know what Kane is going to do

He was asked what factors are going into his decision. He says he's going to explore all his options, but things like minutes and who he plays with. He's not talking solely about the Red Wings in that clip, you regard.

So when did Dcat say he thinks Kane is staying? And when did Kane say which Wings he wants to play with next year? Oh thats right they didnt, cause ur a liar. And I'm sorry if you think I'm being rude, but you demonstrably lied and then immediately responded by calling ME a retard when I pointed it out. So who's the retard now?

So listening to El Captain and Newsy today, I took away a couple things. 1. Yzerman is in very good spirits. He was laughing and joking with the media more so than I've seen in recent years. I got the overall vibe he's happy with the teams progress despite failures. 2. Yzerman and Newsy are high on Albert Johansson. They want him making the team next year. 3. Both Yzerman and Newsy overly stressed how the team needs to learn to commit to better defense. Not just the defenders, but forwards as well. 4. Both Yzerman and Newsy think the team will get younger next year. Dash your thoughts about major UFAs trades and Kane. I think we're reloading internally on an at least partial level. 5. Newsy appeared very intelligent. Yzerman has the right man for the job. Any relation to daisy the cow?

So if Yzerman just tells him what his 2024/25 top6 looks like you believe he definately returns? You understand how insanely sophomoric that is, no?

Of course Yzerman and Brisson are going to talk. That's their jobs. You were just 100% making up statements and attributing them to Kane and Debrincat. I hope Kane decides to stay too, but I have not gotten that impression from his statements. Brisson is also going to be dealing with Yzerman on Sprong and McIsaac this summer, so plenty of opportunity for conversation.

Kanes family lives in Buffalo. He owns a home there and another outside of Chicago. He's not married, and his only child is 3. I don't think he's concerned about uprooting the family. The teams that were after him last year besides us were reported as Florida, Dallas, and Buffalo. Not sure how those teams situations have changed since then. But he would be viewed as the holy savior of the Sabres if he returned home. I could also see a return to Chicago happening. But maybe he's only truly interested in contenders, it could be a number of teams if thats the case. IDK if it's in the yzerplan to hand him a 5x5. Last year we could afford to risks. That ability has greatly diminished now IMO.

Again, not what Dcat said. The quote is "He came here in the first place, and he chose us for a reason. Obviously I don't know what he's going to do, but we are hoping he stays here." Not, I think he's going to play here. Not, why would he not come back? In fact, not only does he not say he thinks Kane is coming back, he openly admits he does not know what Kane will do. Furthermore, Kane explicitly says in his interview that what he is looking for is different than last year. So DCats statement about him choosing us in the first place is feckless. Not that it matters much since he admitted he doesn't know. And just curious, who did Kane mention he wants to play with next year...?

Correct, that is much different. It's a reference to last year... not next year. Dcat still said nothing about thinking or expecting Kane to be back NEXT year. And Kane does not at all talk about who on the Red Wings he wants to play with next year. I can't even find anything he said that you might reasonably confuse for that. Perhaps you might be the one who needs to do a little rewatching... regards

They did not. "I hope he will be back" is not the same as "I think he will be back". Your brain is doing a little wishful thinking if you're confusing those statements. Regards,

Neither Kane or Dcat made either of those statements. What Kane did say was his agent is going to explore options. I get that you want him back, so do I. But Kane spoke in the past tense about the wings the entire time, and went out of his to highlight how healthy and pain free he is now. He's already selling himself to the next franchise.

No one celebrating was my point. Kane doesn't have the miles and time to waste playing rebuild with us. He needed this year to prove he still has it. He's done that and now he'll set his sights on a true contender. He was an awesome bonus this year, but I'm not under any delusion he has loyalty to the Wings. You don't honestly believe that. Every player says empty platitudes like that to the media. And every core player wants their GM to add talent for them to play with. We certainly could see some moves this summer, but IMO it will be much quieter than what your hoping for. If SY was unwilling to give up guys like Berggren and his draft picks at the TDL, he certainly isn't going to part with them now. Furthermore, guys like Chiarot and Copp are going nowhere. SY is building a culture, and he's not going to jump ship on the vets he's made commitments to. And they're not even bad, so why move them? Don't listen to the hater(s) screaming nonsense about them 24/7.

I'm aware

Kane effortlessly scoring that season ending shootout goal to no celebration perfectly encapsulates the season and his time here. He's gonezo

They have it everywhere in the US, but it's called chili cheese fries. Mike is just a francophone.

Pretty much what I expect. But hopefully he starts in GR next season.

Expansion Yotes in 2029. Hard restart.

I think they'll be back in 2029. By then Gary will have completed the bettplan: expand into every major city except Quebec, bc Frick them

He can still do that on his ELC

Really? How do you know all this?

Great video and take. I agree with EVERYTHING. Thanks for sharing. Bottom line is: TRUST THE PLAN I think we are going to see prospects start trickling in next season. And this is way better in the long run than losing our 1st to swing on some half baked Frank Vatrano. Step by step we will get there. This is just one building season of many.
