But low while he's struggling. They'd retain salary too! Getting him at around $5M wouldn't be too much of a risk. Just don't let him wear the cursed #90.
-
GEEZ! Raymond and Seider are steals now! I hope Edvinsson doesn't cost this much!
-
Also, since he didn't seem to be as ready as they thought, they don't burn a year of his contract by sending him down before the threshold.

GDT: Centennial Season ; Episode 10 - Blue(s) Shadows On The Trail
LeftWinger posted a topic in General
Tonight Detroit embarks on 5 Game Western road trip, which will take them from St. Louis, through California, and end in Vegas! Emmitt Finnie currently ranks tied for second among NHL rookie scorers with an impressive eight points in nine games. Elmer Soderblom remains a healthy scratch once more. He’s played four games and has yet to score any points, resulting in a minus-3. Alex DeBrincat has amassed 34 shots on goal, which is more than twice as many as everyone on the Detroit roster except for Dylan Larkin and Moritz Seider. Patrick Kane has been sidelined for the last four games due to an undisclosed upper body injury. Michael Brandsegg-Nygard was sent to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Monday. The Red Wings (6-3) boast the NHL’s 10th-best record and are looking to bounce back from an ugly two-game road trip… John Gibson is expected to start in net tonight against the Blues… Todd McLellan stated that he’s leaning toward playing Cam Talbot against Los Angeles while considering bringing back Gibson to face his former team, Anaheim. However, that plan is not set in stone. Injury update: Patrick Kane isn’t with the team right now, but he’s skating and is anticipated to rejoin the team on this trip. After Saturday's HUGE letdown to Detroit and another embarassing loss to Pittsburgh yesterday, giving up 12 goals in two games, The Blues hope the home cooking at Enterprise Center can turn thier fortunes around! NOTE: The projected lineup shows Soderblom, but I do belive they are going with 11 and 7 again. So put Hamonic in on D. -
With MBN being sent down, cue the Stamkos to Detroit talk!

Dylan Larkin continues on an impressive journey with an eight-game points streak (6-7–12) to ignite the season. Meanwhile, Marco Kasper struggles, sitting at minus-4 with no points during the road losses to Buffalo and the New York Islanders. Currently, he stands at minus-6, having registered only one goal this season. The Red Wings’ defensive corps, after a promising start, crumbled, conceding 11 goals in just two road defeats. The defensemen faced significant challenges sorting out their coverages in both matches. Patrick Kane has been sidelined for the last three games due to an undisclosed upper body injury. Although he is back on the ice, he will not take the ice tonight. As the Red Wings return from a disheartening two-game road trip, John Gibson is set to guard the net against the Blues in the first of an exciting Home and Home series. Larkin has now become the eighth active player to achieve at least two season-opening points streaks stretching seven or more games. Furthermore, the Red Wings proudly hold the fourth spot in the NHL with an impressive 90.4% penalty killing efficiency, while their power play has unfortunately slipped to 19th at 90%.

Well, gonna be an interesting 3rd! Nice goal by Berggren, I know I talked bad of him, but THAT is what he needs to do to stay on this team. He has to play like that ALL the time. He looked bad on their 4th goal, and that is why I said what I said. They just needed some bounces and momentum. Like I said, it's gonna be interesting in the 3rd. Can they keep St. Louis out of the net...gotta keep the ice tilted. -

Rasmussen, Soda OUT. Wings are going with 11 forwards and 7 D. Hamonic is in because Chiarot is a little banged up, but will play some. Good, I cannot stand Rasmussen. -
...seriously though, Rasmussen, Beggren, and Soderblom need to never play on this team again. Replace with Danielson, JVR and Mazur.

It's lotion, I know... Where: Little Caesars Arena When: 3 p.m. TV/Radio: FanDuel Sports Network/97.1 FM Odds: Edmonton (-1.5, +175), Detroit (+1.5,-225) ESPNBet Today, John Gibson will take the ice once more as the starting goalie after a remarkable performance that saw him make 32 saves to lead his team to a narrow 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in a thrilling overtime showdown last Friday. However, the Detroit Red Wings’ power play has struggled significantly during the absence of Lucas Raymond, who has missed two games. With a dismal record of 0-for-4 in those outings, Detroit has unfortunately fallen out of the league’s top 10 power plays. In today’s game, Patrick Kane (upper body) will be absent, and Lucas Raymond’s participation will hinge on how he feels this morning. Kane sustained his injury during the victory against the Lightning. Should Raymond return to rejoin Dylan Larkin on the top line, it’s possible that Mason Appleton could step into Kane’s position on the second line. In a striking moment, Captain Dylan Larkin scored an overtime goal, marking the 10th of his remarkable Detroit career. This achievement propels him past Steve Yzerman (9) and Brendan Shanahan (9), securing his place in franchise history behind Sergei Fedorov (12). Larkin now stands as the 14th American skater in NHL history to achieve at least 10 overtime goals, with Max Pacioretty holding the all-time record at 16. Larkin also recorded an assist, making this his second-consecutive multi-point game. In another milestone, Axel Sandin-Pellikka (20 years, 220 days) etched his name into the record books as the third-youngest defenseman for the Red Wings to score his first NHL goal in the past 35 years, following the impressive Simon Edvinsson (20 years, 46 days on March 23, 2023) and Moritz Seider (20 years, 214 days on Nov. 6, 2021). (These projected lines I clipped is showing Kane, but it was a typo, obvioulsy DeBrincat is in that spot. Kane is OUT)
-
I think it's just Yzerman doing them a favor trying to get them NHL jobs somewhere. Yzerman is Class Personified!
-
God I'd hate to see the return for him! I hope this is not true honestly, espescially if it's gonna gut the farm system. I don't see anything on X.

4 games in or not, this is something we haven't seen in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time! ...also...

GDT: Centennial Season ; Episode 4 - Panthers in The Cougar's Den

Cougars, get it? Where: Little Caesars Arena When: 7 p.m. TV/Radio: TNT, HBO Max/97.1 FM Odds: Florida (-1.5, +175), Detroit (+1.5,-225) ESPNBet The exciting showdown between the Panthers and Red Wings is set to unfold tonight, as both teams surge forward with remarkable momentum. Detroit, currently standing at 2-1, has just celebrated back-to-back victories over the Maple Leafs, led by the dazzling performances of Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, each with 4 points to their names, establishing themselves as early-season heroes. In net, Goalie Cam Talbot has demonstrated his skill with an impressive 38-save victory on Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. As he kicks off the 2025-26 season, Talbot boasts a perfect record of 2-0, with a 2.11 GAA and a stellar .925 save percentage. Captain Dylan Larkin has also made his mark, netting two goals and one assist in his first three games, while maintaining a plus-3 rating and winning 58% of his faceoffs. Averaging 19:38 minutes of ice time per game, Larkin’s presence is invaluable, particularly after taking two penalties during a tightly contested win against the Maple Leafs—the Red Wings count on him in critical moments. In a troubling turn of events, Lucas Raymond suffered an upper-body injury on Monday during Detroit’s 3-2 triumph over the Maple Leafs. His status is currently day-to-day, following a collision with Toronto defenseman Chris Tanev, which saw him crash shoulder-first into the boards. The thrilling victory came thanks to former Michigan State forward Mason Appleton, who clinched the game-winning goal with less than a minute left in regulation. Despite having struggled with the NHL's worst penalty kill last season, the Red Wings have shown promise, currently ranking 13th with an efficiency rate of 85.7%. Their power play shines at eighth in the league, operating at 25% effectiveness. Rookies Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and Emmitt Finnie lead the team in physicality, registering nine and eight hits, respectively. In his long-awaited debut with the Red Wings, offseason free agent signee James van Riemsdyk made an instant impact, playing 10:09 in his first game and scoring on his very first shot. Positioned on the fourth line, van Riemsdyk could potentially secure a spot in the top six if Raymond's absence extends for any significant duration. The stage is set for an exhilarating matchup as both the Panthers and Red Wings prepare to clash on the ice. Detroit Projected Lines Emmitt Finnie — Dylan Larkin — Mason Appleton Patrick Kane — Marco Kasper — Alex DeBrincat Andrew Copp — J.T. Compher — Michael Brandsegg-Nygard James van Riemsdyk — Michael Rasmussen — Elmer Soderblom Defense Pairings Ben Chiarot — Moritz Seider Simon Edvinsson — Axel Sandin-Pellikka Albert Johansson — Jacob Bernard-Docker Goalie Cam Talbot (John Gibson is backup) -

Next two games... Geez, it doesn't get any easier does it!?!? Florida got some momentum, lets hope Detroit can tilt the ice back the other way in the 3rd! -
I knew which one it was. I'd rather have him on the team than Berggren.
