Powerplay time! The Cat! 1-0 Red Wings!

Are we ready for this thread? Too late, ready or not, here it is. My prediction is Red Wings win 10 more games this season for 20 more points totalling 111. Good for 2nd in the Atlantic behind Florida. Toronto is a close 3rd. Boston and Tampa can't recover from their loses and fall to wild card hopefuls.

I dunno. He said he wasn't waiving to go anywhere. Maybe it just wasn't because it was Detroit. I know the Rangers are looking to trade him. He only has a 15 team NTC. That's 16 teams they can trade him to with no recourse on his end. They could find the best deal (with no salary retained) to a crap hole team that isn't on his NTC and he'd be screwed. He may as well put Detroit on his list if they want him that bad. I do think the better play is Fowler because Detroit is actually on his list already.

I believe down deep that Zegras would flourish here. I think Yzerman should entertain a trade for him and Fowler. Then I'd even entertain trading Chiarot for Trouba. In the 2 more years of their contracts, ASP will be more than ready to go! Fowler and Trouba are better than Chiarot and Petry, IMO.

If it is true, we are in trouble!

With the (maybe true) news that Yzerman wanted to give Stamkos 4yrs $8M AAV but Ilitch never "got back" to him, what does that make you think about Chris Ilitch? I guess the story goes Yzerman was given the OK to offer him 3yrs $8M, then when Nashville offered 4, Yzerman told Stamkos that he will give him 4 as well, as long as ownership ok's it. Supposedly he called Ilitch and told him he could get Stamkos here for 4 years, Ilitch said he'd get back to him, but never did, and thus Stamkos went to Nashville. Two things: 1. Chris Ilitch is SOOOOO NOT Mike Ilitch. Mr. I would've said give him 5 years! 2. Would you have even wanted a 38 year old Stamkos here for 4 years at $8M? Would we be doing better? ...also, like said above, if we're going to tank, I'd rather tank with the kids up here. Dump the vets, bring up the kids! Fire Lalonde though, we need a fresh coaching staff with NEW philosophies, IMO.

go back 10 years and imagine someone calling ME a level-headed neutral poster! I have become totally different that is for sure! (just don't bring up Franzen, Hudler, or Tippet and Hague! ) speaking of years, it's hard to believe I've been here for 21 of them and never had to change my user name!

At this point, I wouldn't mind a minor to middle of the road shake up. Fire Lalonde is a no brainer, but I say trade Rasmussen and Veleno and cut ties (however you can) with Petry and Chiarot. Rangers are now talking desperate when it comes to dumping some players. They are still talking Trouba and have added Kreider to the mx. I think that the Trouba to Detroit trade is still on the table and will happen. But now in their desperate attempt to make their team better, they will definitely need to retain some salary and also add a sweeenter to the pot for this to happen. Anaheim still talking about getting rid of Zegras. Acquire Trouba. Acquire Zegras and Fowler. Fire Lalonde, hire Fedorov or Larionov. (or both) Rangers retain $4M, you LTIR Husso and waive Petry and Chiarot. It's time for a shakeup!

Everytime the forum goes down, I send him a facebook message, then all of a sudden (coincidence maybe) it's back up and running. This last time, it was down all weekend (or more) and today I sent the message, and it was back up shortly thereafter. I will continue that as long as it seems to be working. Hopefully he will promote a couple more of us and we can help take care of this place.

This SPAM is ridiculous. Something needs to be done.

We do it right. Waive Chiarot, Petry, Holl, Husso, and never recall them again. Upgrade Buium and Wallinder Trade Veleno and Rasmussen for Fowler. Upgrade Danielson and Mazur and Watson for the depth. Ya, that's a lot of LHD, but we've been there before. I'd rather watch this lineup play, than the stinky one we have today.

Just some info, Soderblom is in his last season of waiver exemptions.

I'd shop them all (plus picks) for a D upgrade (if possible) or a legit top 6 scoring forward. Who? I don't know.

I hope they do, but I don't think Yzerman will acquire anyone with all that extra cap space provided. I think he is content with watching the current team suck so he can have another top 15 pick. This current team is not making the playoffs. Not unless a miracle happens.

Ovechkin on pace for 52 goals this season, getting him 912, passing Gretzky at 894, PLUS he still has another year left on his contract!

This is ******* ridiculous @Matt and while we're talking about it, the background needs an update! Zetterberg and Tatar still? I wonder if one of us could just take over the entire website if he is truly not interested in it any longer? Purchase it from him!

We really need a MOD that comes here everyday, multiple times a day.

LTIR. Do it.

Holy Spam!

Who do we get as coach though? Quenneville? Considering how long Yzerman let Blashill hang around, Lalonde definitely won't get fired. We're going to suffer through another non-playoff season, probably finishing even lower, thus wasting yet another year of Patrick Kane.
