Mods do something about this ^^^^ LOL

I'm not sure if that was a typo or not... but kudos on Zagina.
-
People actually proposed spending assests to trade up for Zadina??? Bad enough we had the misfortune of him slipping to us and causing us to not draft Bouchard or another D.

Gerber was such a baby.

2019 Offseason Rebuild Thread, Pt. 2 - What's the Yzerplan?
mackel replied to Dabura's topic in General
Why can't we send Daley and or Erricson to Grand Rapids? If they clear great we'd get 950k back in cap and then they are off the roster. -
What an eloquent and detailed point of view...
-
Canada seems fully intact and just fine... it's a little less mean and a little more proactive than it was during the days of darkness from 06-15.
-
This is why I think an aggressive move to offer sheet Marner would be worth it.

4/9 2019 Draft Lottery GDT - Red Wings vs The World - 8:00 PM ET (NBCSN)

And the Rangers just became more attractive to Stevie Y. A night that was promising turned into a disaster... looks like a draft of sloppy seconds like last year.... FFS -

f***, f***, f***! -
Let's hope Fulcher gets the start today. We need to lose this game... or to paraphrase it's "a must lose situation".
-
Steve Yzerman to step down as GM for TBL. Will serve in "Advisory Role".

Devastating -
We need to lose our last 2 games... these wins have been "fun" but we really need 2 big losses here.
-
This team is every bit as good as the NY Islanders... our coach however ain't no Barry Trotz.
-
Someone asked what could be done, I wasn't advocating doing it.
-
They could scratch 4-5 key players... but I'm fairly sure that won't happen.
-
Wow you're setting yourself up for disappointment. He'll likely be an NHL regular but I agree with CRL... alot of run of the mill 2nd rounders will have equally good careers. Where I think CRL would disagree is that I would classify this as a BUST relative to his draft position and the expectations of many Wings fans.
-
Though I'm sure that was meant in a mocking tone, it's exactly what he did... out crusing looking for breaking pass after someone else does the work.
-
As interesting a flight of fancy as that was... who said Zadina looked good? Who is everyone? Blashill surely inst going to carve a 6th overall pick publically. Come on atleast my opinion has some basis. You're looking at his draft position and little else... get off the kool-aid. Edit: you also realize he was in the Q last season not a decade ago right? You play it off like I'm criticizing based on his peewee career.
-
The substance is quite simple... he's been mediocre most nights in the AHL, his goal total is helped dramatically by multi goal games followed by long stretches of diddly. His NHL stint was underwhelming to say the least... though I grant you the sample size there is small Nothing about this season says star or superstar it says middle 6 forward who will intrigue and disappoint. I'd be interested in what others see... because I'm not overly impress with that I've seen.
-
Nope just a realist with eyes and an opinion (you don't seem to like).
-
Nah they may turn out... :-) Zadina needs to reinvent his game, flying the zone waiting for a breakaway pass doesn't work on every shift in the NHL. This is why hes pretty good in the AHL and was invisible for 8 of 9 games he played up. What once worked doesn't anymore and he's back to the drawing board.
-
As much as this guy should be fired this team is 2 years (or more) from being a team a quality coach who has options like Q would consider joining.

3/16 Afternoon Delight GDT - Islanders @ Red Wings - 1:00 PM ET
mackel replied to Dabura's topic in General
It seems Detroit drops everytime I run the tankathon simulator. Its maddening how teams jump 6 or more spots get top picks. I hope the real lottery turns out more favorably, we have enough middling first round picks that are disappointing and may flop entirely Rasmussen and Zadina I'm looking at you! -
