Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did...

Someone posted this in HFBoards Guys I just got my NHL Insider's License. Can confirm that there is a NYR/DET trade incoming just past 12:30 pm. TO DET: Alexis Lafreniere K'Andre Miller TO NYR: J.T. Compher Justin Holl 2026 3rd 2028 3rd 2029 3rd

So we have Holl as our 7th D?

Or he is now more valuable in a trade with a known cap hit?

Well if rumors are true about Marner and Ekblad no money spent there.... Blue Jackets hail mary https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/blue-jackets-ivan-provorov-last-ditch-60-million-contract-update-free-agency/03118ec085e7747a697f3fe9e My reading of this article is if Gavrikov goes to NY tomorrow Miller becomes expendable https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/kings-repordedly-waiting-on-vladislav-gavrikov-as-rangers-rumors-intensify So what asset would accomplish the trade? Part of me says F it fill the spots with kids and lets ride it this season out.

IF and thats a big IF Stevie lands as an example either Eklund or Gavrikov and either Elhers or Boeser? Is he allowed to head to his cabin in TC and smoke some devils lettuce for a month?

So how do we get this idea in front of Stevie?

Based on the bolded the hot dog vendors just doubled their orders for next year not realizing its not Jimmy but another Howard.

Thanks Lefty for the in depth explanation.

10 spins at the wheel at Tankathon 2 times we got to 2nd ...this is the YEAR!!

Curious if you waive both Holl and Tank and no one claims. If they refuse to report to the Griffins then what? Do we get cap relief if they essentially "quit"?

i think Toddfather agrees with my assessment based on this https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2025/03/28/detroit-red-wings-playoff-chase-blame-it-on-mental-sags-todd-mclellan/82698702007/ "I go back to when we arrived, we talked about building up a belief system," McLellan said. "It’s getting tested, and it has been getting tested this whole month. It’s not just the wins and losses in your record, it’s about what happens in a game. And we’ve seen that multiple times where it doesn’t go our way and it drops off for five minutes. And then we get it back. "We can’t sag. It’s as much mental as it is physical and structural." We don't need UFA we need a shrink STAT!!!

Just for grins looked at the month by month between us and the cats this year and last. 2024-25 2023-2024 Panthers Pts Wings Panthers Wings Oct 7-3-1 15 Oct 4-5-1 9 Oct 4-3-1 9 Oct 6-3-1 13 Nov 8 - 6 16 Nov 6-6-1. 13 Nov 10-4-1 21 Nov 6-4-2 14 Dec 8 -4 -1 17 Dec 5-7-2. 12 Dec 8-5 16 Dec 5-9-1 11 ================================================================================= 48 34 46 38 Jan 7-6-1 15 Jan 10-3-1 21 Jan 9-2-2 20 Jan 9-2-2 20 Feb 6-2 12 Feb 5-2-1 13 Feb 9-2 18 Feb 7-3 14 Mar 7-4 14 Mar 3-9 6 Mar 7-6-1 15 Mar 3-9-2 8 ================================================================================== 41 40 53 42 Because this seemed like a pattern I went back to 2022-23 Panthers Wings Oct 8-0-1 17 Oct 4-3-2 10 Nov 7-4-2 16 Nov 7-3-3 17 Dec 5-3-1 11 Dec 5-6-2. 12 ================================== 44 39 Jan 12-2-1 25 Jan 5-7-1 11 Feb 3-4 6 Feb 7-5 12 Mar 11-2-1 23 Mar 5-9-1 11 ====================================== 54 34 We never cracked 40 points or over in the first 3 months of the season vs the Cats whose worst record was 41. IMHO we have a sloppy start and then struggle to get back into contention and either injuries or mental fatigue becomes a factor and we die off. Been a pattern for the past 3 seasons under 2 coaches

Whelp Chychrun is off the table ....NEXT?

They both look lethargic after the stupid 4 Nations thingy. Always felt that the 4 Nations killed our momentum as we were on a bit of a roll in Jan(10-3). We were 3 - 1 going into the break 2 weeks later the wheels pretty much come off the bus. Which begs the question why do the wheels come off mid Feb into March? Correct me but this meltdown has happened the last 3 years with 2 different coaches. Close to the same roster so is it lack of focus/youth/lack of faith?/not getting help at trade deadline?

I am about to say yes 5 points out of WC2 which is the Habs Even with most of the teams we have to overcome in GP Playing the toughest schedule out of the teams we are trying to pass Team banged up and IMHO think giving up https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2025/03/23/detroit-red-wings-playoff-chase-todd-mclellan-questions-teams-grit/82619057007/

Soooo as we arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic of a season. At what point if at all should we put Holl on waivers or move Shine back down and bring up some youth from GR? What is the tipping point ?

Ajo squared is the 3rd pair ?
