    Red Wings Prospects

    Agreed on Finnie, he and Doucette could be our outta nowhere contributors on ELCs to replace the Joey V's and Rasmussens of the world once they want more money than they're worth. I really advocate for the turn over of middle/bottom 6 guys like Chicago did in the 2010s really helped their cap and revitalized the team.

    Raymond has re-signed

    Great news; likely would have been cheaper if done a year ago. It is what it is now.

    I'd be shocked if Seider gets less than 9.5 per on an 8 year term.

    Red Wings Prospects

    I don't disagree with the sentiment BUT we all know this will never happen because "over-ripening" we may see this line 2-3 season from now.

    The longer we dick around with those contracts the less likely anything else is.

    Possibly... I was thinking Berggren as the centerpiece and a defenseman for now and one for the future. Maybe swap Wallinder for Buium and add a 2nd?

    I'd far rather have Rasmus Anderson... I wonder if a package of Holl or Matta (their choice) Berggren and William Wallinder Would get their attention?

    Kasper is a bottom 6er similar to Veleno

    Ahhhhhh I'm fairly sure they were using public draft boards and "couldn't belive their luck" that Zadina slid to them... where other teams knew to avoid him.

    Narp... Cossa is my dark horse for the Canadian Olympic team... we're very thin at G, if he gets games this year and steals the starting job by Xmas 2025 he'll be selected.

    Jacob Truscott

    I'd have done that... we have 3 versions of Kasper and he's the weakest of the three. Rutger would have been a nice add for us we don't have a player in that mold. I'd have even added a late pick or long shot prospect.

    Seider is getting bridged.

    Funny you should mention Zadina... saw some speculation he's going to sign in Europe... figured I'd swing by for a victory lap since I called that too. I'd rather have Berggren than Laine. Holl is fine...

    2024-25 Bold Predictions

    1. We get Rutger McGroarty from the Jets for a package featuring Bear-Grin and a 25 lotto protected 1st, sliding to 26 if necessary and a 2nd in the opposite year. 2. Holl is our 3rd best defenseman. 3. We finish with the same point total but miss the playoffs by a larger margin. 4. Mazur is a 2nd half standout.

    Speculation on your part. Stick to the facts... if being a "pro" means bending to the will of his employer fack that.

    If you don't want to honor a NMC or a NTC, etc don't offer it in the contract. Trouba is 100% within his rights (that NYR gave him) to block trades with his clause(s).

    That shouldn't be part of the equation. Husso is a mistake, don't compound it by playing him just because you over paid him. That can't happen... Yzerman may be in mortal danger if it does lol

    2024 Draft

    You're hoping against hope... we have an unrivaled collection of mediocre Defenceman and Goalies and we will use them to block ANY promising prospect until they're 28. Heck we even package 2nd round picks with mid-Defenceman in an effort to free cap to sign multiple mediocre Defenceman.

    I think Husso will be #3, Lyon earned a roster spot last year.

    2024 Draft

    He's trash, euro trash to be precise.
  21. No, he can't score where he is now.
  22. Vegas just got the best player outside the top 8.
  23. Man this is awful...
  24. FAAAAAAAACK! Well we have MBN, bring on the high dollar/term shifty FAs to cement our forever 500 status.
  25. No we'll likely trade down or take some 200ft scrub who we'll package a 2nd rounder with to giveaway in a few years.
