    2021 Off-Season (Too Soon?)

    Zadina is at best 3rd liner on a decent + team. But in fairness to him our dolt of a coach is trying to make him a 200ft player... the one assest Zadina has is his shot... when he's not scoring goals he's a replacement level player. If we want anything noteworthy out of him we should deploy him like Montreal deploys Caulfield as an offense first shooter with linemates and D to make up for the defensive coverage. And yes Zadina has been/is a bust thus far.

    I'd rather roll the dice that Cossa will be there at 23... but respect the POV!

    Reinhardt is another true 2C, low end 1C in a pinch BUT if we have both Larkin and Reinhardt we have quantity not quality as it relates to the top 6 centers on this team... where at the moment we have neither quantity or quality. Rolling Reinhardt, Larkin, Rasmussen and Veleno as your centers is a strong group overall, despite no superstar among the bunch.

    It's an interesting trade scenario... adds a 1A center to our 1B/2A, gets value for a 3rd line winger who may still be perceived to have upside.

    Zadina's a 3rd line winger... he's not getting you much in a trade.

    Why is this still being talked about at this point...?

    Not trolling expressing legit concern... even if Zadina is the RW of your wet dreams it's still thin using the OP's list... BUT the OP listed Raymond as LW and I missed it.

    Larkin ain't no Bergeron. With or without wingers of your choosing.

    RW looks very iffy... a couple of 2nd/3rd line tweeners (Fabri and Zadina) one with injury history and two 3rd/4th line tweeners (Smith and Erne). By tweener I mean they play up the lineup on a poor team... see Red Wings. Breggren could be anything at point... it's too early.

    BLASHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    f*** OFF STEVEN. This has literally killed what little enthusiasm I had for the off-season, the draft, FA, etc. That douchbag better not ruin Seider.

    Seider for Captain

    Smith must be protected for the expansion draft... he brings a physical element we don't have. Plus he can play, he's a legit 3rd liner 2nd line filler in a pinch.

    Nooooooooooo! More unwatchable hockey and prospect stagnation. Christ even being in Torts or Boudreau...

    Not hearing Blashill's voice will be reward enough... I'm also quite convinced we'll hire Gerard, not Lane.

    Is today the day, the long awaited day, where we fire Blashill... please God, please!
  21. But only Europeans matter. This will be the draft where we do win the lottery... the draft lottery version of the make-up call. Then, in 22, 23 with top flight players up for grabs we'll drop max spots. #typical

  23. Yea it is 100%... yet nobody seems to be calling it out like last year when the Wings legitimately that bad and yet were accused of tanking daily.
  24. Man this team has a knack of Fing itself over with meaningless wins at the worst possible times.
