    GDT Kings @ Red Wings 1/13/24

    This team needs a new coach, at the very least 2 new assistant coaches next year... one of which with NHL experience *incase* we heed an interim coach before season's end.

    No Walman and we call up Brogan Rafferty...? WTF?

    He sees himself in Lalonde. . . . . Unfortunately it's just his reflection off Newsies chrome dome.

    Atleast Joe is an actual NHL caliber player. KHL, DEL, Extra Liga incoming for he who shall not be names.

    Kinda like Kenny drafting a certain Czech in free fall based on hype.

    We have a lot of bad contracts on this team... slight to modest to big overpays on mediocre (or worse) players. Yzerman spent years getting rid of contracts like that only to sign his own. Thankfully most are short term but that Copp contract, Holl for 3 years, Fabbri should be moved and replaced by Berger, cheaper lateral move... these are sorts of players you move on from and let someone else pay.

    We don't know that we are keeping all three, precisely because Husso being injured means that roster spot is a non-issue. We'll only know once Husso comes back, probably after a game or two to check his health status.

    GDT Red Wings in La La Land - 1/4/24

    Hanafin is a top 4 now and will be for a while at age 26, Lindholm would make us deep down the middle and at 29 he's got lots of runway ahead.

    Has ASP made Edvinsson a trade assist, has Trey made Cossa a trade asset? I'm dreaming of Hanafin and Lindholm.

    I agree, he'll be gone in a couple of seasons; he should be gone at the end of this season.

    I put them with Compher as a 1st line, then put Sprong, Larkin and Raymond as our 2nd line... playing roughly equal time.

    Wings @ Fins GDT

    This is a must win game. Not only that, it's a statement game... they need to play a full 60, go up early and don't let up.

    I'm a Cossa guy, but the answer is age for age yes overall, we're getting there.
  15. Our D is old and bad... another year of Maata and Petry, 2 for Chiarot and Holl. And Copp for 3 more years. :-(
  16. I like this... we should be willing to retain on all of our tradeable D-men.
  17. The Leafs just put Samsonov on waivers, I'd strongly consider claiming him and waiving Reimer. He's had a rough season but he's younger and more likely to rebound (forgive the pun)

    Is Carlie carrying a narrow eyed baby?

    ASP will be 34 by the time he's ripe enough to grace the Red Wings blue line as a regular.

    He also seems to have an affinity for signing broken down veterans.

    I think we should bring in Berube.

    I acknowledge all of that, I get it... but this isn't new... it's been a trend since his rookie season. When was the last reverse hit you remember seeing? I hope he's more Pronger that Phaneuf but the jury is still out.

    You seem to be the one getting off on Seider.

    Lol was I ever right, and I'm right now. If we pa more than 7.5 we're gonna regret it.
