  1. Our roster is abysmal. Others than 2 guys on D, 4 smallish skilled forwards and average goaltending we're absolute trash.

    I think our bottom 6 gets a bigtime remodel in the off season. Ras and Burgers can stay Copp can just die... etc

    GDT: 1/14/25 Sharks @ Red Wings

    Can we catapult Husso into the sun already. I'd rather they call up Campbell.

    The longer this streak and the better the team and a lot of individual players look... ya gotta think that makes Lalonde less and less likely to get another HC role.

    That's true... but I really like Johansson... I think he's comfortably a top-4 D really soon.

    That Edvinsson-Johansson pair looks like it could be a legit 2nd pair... if so we really only need a Chairot replacement to solidify our top pair and suddenly you have a sheltered 3rd pair spot to break in ASP with a defensive vet.

    Augustine was shaky at the WJHC and is small for and NHL tendy. I think he's shipped out as part of a trade for a 1A/B center before he's exposed at the NHL level.

    I find Florida more tough than cheap/chippy.

    Very nice... Is it just me or do the Senators get away with more cheap/dirty/chippy s*** than any other team.

    Look at the playing time under Todd... I think Lyon will be resigned and Talbot gets traded NEXT YEAR with Cossa spending another year in GR.

    1/4/25 GDT Red Wings vs the Jets

    I agree... defenseman seem to be judged by points alone nowadays... especially for the Norris, it's just such a lazy approach to evaluation.

    1/4/25 GDT Red Wings vs the Jets

    I'm thinking 5-2 Jets. It'll be a vibe check.
  15. I like that idea! What would we need to trade to get Elias Pettersson? Kasper, Berggren, 2025 2nd, 2026 1st ? That's probably light but I'd not include a premium prospect like Danielson, ASP, Cossa, Augustine.
  16. I agree we need a forward, preferably a center but I'll take a winger in the mold of Shanahan. Skilled but with toughness and snarl... that'll be hard to find, can't really think of a non Tkachuk example right now.

    1/2/25 GDT: Wings at Blue Jackets

    He once beat Justin Trudeau in a Justin Trudeau lookalike contest.
  18. I'd trade a lot for Rasmus Anderson.

    Lalonde FIRED. McLellan Hired!

    This year is over bud... we should be looking at drafting top 5. Be competitive sure, but no banaids or slap dash short term adds. Let nature take its course with this awful roster .

    12/21/24: GDT Wings @ Habs

    They're not playing themselves... so therefore they are not playing the worse team in the league.

    12/20/24 GDT: Munreal @ Deautois

    This game is our best case scenario... competitive losses keep the players hungry and improve the lotto odds. I'd like the rest of our games to go just this way.

    Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All

    What would an equivalent trade package from the Wings have been for Kakko? The cost seems very reasonable and the reward could be great. I think Yzerman is Uber conservative... and it's hurting us.
