    Red Wings drop 2 spots, will pick 9th in NHL Draft

    OK, ya, I'm now confused...what the heck is all that!?! They drafted Primeau 3rd overall in 1990 and Lapointe 10th in 91.

    Nic Hague in the 1st round will make yall happier. I don't see Tippett falling to 9, but ya never know!

    The prices nowadays, probably too much than what we'd be comfortable with... Might be another lottery year next season.

    How about trading the #9 in a package to ANA for Fowler?

    You really want to derail another thread with your false rhetoric? Anyway, 9 is good..although they were showing Tippett as 4th ranked now. Have to hope for Hague.

    Damn. Some teams got f***ed!!! NJ may have gotten #1, but Philly won moving up 11 spots. What are the odds that Kovy returns now?

    Kucherov says some Tampa players "got their money and stopped working"

    Huh....still no evidence from that thread, eh? You aren't burning me, I called him Francine I do believe. Far, far, FAR from burning jerseys. You may as well stop the madness, your digging yourself deeper. I already said, I take my medicine when needed, if it was somewhere in the 57 pages, I'd take the hit, but you stated matter of fact that I blew a gasket after Game 4 round 1 2008...just admit it, you were wrong. I never said I've never had a fit of emotion, I admit I've had more than my share. But you remembered exactly when you started calling me out...but alas, I guess you didn't quite remember... I liked Franzia better than Francine.

    Never happened. I was probably a bit emotional losing 2 in a row, reaching the thread a lot of people were in that GDT. But I didn't even post in it once, let alone act like a "knee-jerk cry baby" in that thread. Not one post before during or after the game. Let me know when you find it...there 57 pages to look through. You say you know it happened, but it's not there. Sucks when you're embarrassed doesn't it? I've been there, difference is I can admit when I'm wrong.

    Nah...57 pages, looks like it didn't. I most definitely had some fits of emotion in my time...just not when you matter of factly said.

    Real quick note, here are some draft picks that won't be signed before their deadline to sign.

    2017 Draft

    The easiest picks will be 2 and 3. The #1 will be torn between Patrick and Hicshier. It's a toss up! If Wings get #1, which do you take? Only took me 12 times to get #1. I got a #2, two #3's, two #9's a 10 and the rest #8. Then I got another #1 in the next 5 tries. That's twice in 17....in about 40 tries, I got #1 three times...a lot of 2 and 3, but mostly 8 and 9. Looking at their mock, they have us at 7 taking Necas... http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=237071

    Of course I can't find the audio. It was a 97.1 interview with him this year and he mentioned that Suter wanted to come to Detroit, but his girlfriend didn't want to live here. Until I find it, it's just hearsay...

    Funny, I don't recall even posting in that thread....oh wait, I didn't.

    Kucherov says some Tampa players "got their money and stopped working"

    Uh....never said I'd throw all my jerseys in the trash. Don't recall saying I'd permanently stop following them...maybe stop watching until a change was made. But maybe in a fit of emotional, I may have. It's easy to remember what you write when you have 1000 posts, but it's hard to remember everything ever written in 11,000+...but you're probably right. There, see how easy it is, I can admit when someone is on to something, funny how it doesn't always work that way though. Some folks just cannot stand being wrong and feel much embarrassment and have to try to tear down someone else to direct attention away from them. They have therapy for that...Have a super night! cheerio! Don't strain your bandwidth trying to find evidence of me saying what you said I said, I already admitted you are probably right, I may have said something like it on a particular emotional night... He's probably mad because he took a huge discounted deal, while others got PAID, yet he feels he outperformed them...or maybe he's right. I hope he isn't talking Hedman, I like that kid...

    But it never happens, right? Until an NHL player says it does. And, yes, the story I heard is that Swedes do it more than others, but even in that quote I said not 100% of them. Plus I'm sure it applies to others as well. It's so nice to have an NHL player confirm a story that has been kicked around a lot before. I guess I'll have to work on the over the top stuff...

    Kucherov says some Tampa players "got their money and stopped working"

    While I agree I am very emotional, I do base a lot of what I say on stats as much as I can. I know you weren't talking about Nyquist, you were talking about Franzen. But I brought up gus, because I said it looked like he has been doing just what Kucherov is saying. Nyquist stepped it up near the end, and if he keeps it going, I will definitely eat my words about him. I may be right about things and I may be wrong, but when I'm wrong, I take my medicine. Honestly though, I'm hoping that he is no longer in the organization next season. I just found it funny that when I say certain players are known to get their money and coast, there is no way in the world it happens. But when someone in the NHL says it, people go, hmmmmm....

    2017 Draft

    I will give you that, it is a "Holland" pick, as would be Pettersson. Let's just hope if he drafts Pettersson over Tippett, it doesn't turn out to be another Niskanen over Kindl....because Kindl was a "Holland" pick... I agree, whoever he drafts will probably work out (hoipefully) but it's always nice to see the guy you are a fan of come play for your favorite team. Like I was with Mantha and Larkin...so that is why I am confident Holland won't let me down! Besides, Holland has spent a good amount of time in Mississauga, but maybe its scouting Hague...

    Would Mrazek, Tatar, pick get it closer? I know I'm a mrazek fan, but I think I'd rather trade him before any of my three core members...maybe they'd want more of the playmaker in Nyquist to dish it off to Laine... Dang it, I wish we had something else to offer...
