    Unless these guys all hit, we'll peak as a wildcard team and be blowing it up by 2028.

    Hot Takes for the 2023/24 Season

    Red Wings finish 7th in the division. Closely behind Ottawa and wayyyy ahead of Montreal. Chairot is traded before the end of the season, max salary retention.

    Ahhhh.... I hate to say it.... (not really though) BUT I told you so. That would be a Mazur mistake!

    He's not that player... if he's not scoring, he's not effective. The defensive forward nonsense is just that... nonsense.

    For the billionth time, he's a lousy hockey player... #OGZadinaTruther This would make me 100% correct, as I said he'd be playing in Europe by 2024.

    Is Kris Draper Tyler Wright?

    I hope he hires Al Murray and promotes Draper to another role!

    I think that Boston pick will slide to 25, they're going to finally fall off the cliff next season.

    My best offer would be Zadina, Buium, #43 in this draft and a lottery protected 1st in 24, that becomes unprotected in 25.

    If I were Stevie, I'd collude the s*** out of this and get that plan established with him.

    I saw only regression with Raymond... foot speed is a major issue as is grit/physicality.

    Zadina gets you a 4th round pick at best... his contract is the only thing of value associated with him. Raymond = Tatar

    Agreed, that BOS 1st shouldn't be traded until you know where it will fall. The Bruins are always at risk of falling off a cliff, next year they are capped out, older, and losing UFAs. That pick could be a top 5 pick in 2025... until you get a solid feel on the status of that pick hold on to it.

    And I was 100% correct. As I said at the time, I watched him play live in the Q; the signs were there. I'm convinced the Wings didn't scout him throughly enough, thinking he'd be off the board and made the TSN rankings pick, rather than go with the player(s) they had throughly scouted. Man don't contaminate Kasper with Zadina's ick.

    We didn't WANT him to fail we recognized he WAS/IS failing. Please don't mistake the two they are not the same.

    The NHL is a bush league... Chicago shouldn't even have had a 1st round pick, let alone be awarded 1OA in a sham lotto. The NHL just got out leagued by the effing WNBA!!! https://www.sportsnet.ca/wnba/article/wnba-strips-aces-of-draft-pick-suspends-becky-hammon-for-workplace-violations/

    Well according to Elliott in 32 thoughts team personnel and players league wide think the lottery was rigged.

    This 1 billion percent. It's easy to fix when nobody knows what the numbers mean, how they're assigned and what the target value is. You can do a magic trick in front of people and they are usually fooled or fool themselves unless the know the gimmick.

    I think after they fell flat on their collective faces this playoff, it's steep decline time.
