This just jolted the awful memory of Patrick Eaves being on our team. Momma said there would be days like this.

My only hope is that deals have been done and waiting for "i".s to be dotted and "t"'s to be crossed before announcing..which can often be agents letting players involved know before announcing. Maybe Compher and Copp are out on Lake St. Clair and have no cell signal??

Exactly. Or....how far Stevie was ($/term/picks/players) on securing a deal.

I'm scanning everything I can find in both US and Canada.....nothing as far as the Wings are concerned.

Ryan Reeves would be a low-key nice addition. Cheap (like no-brainer cheap) and gives this team someone to "keep the flies off" (as Babcock would say). We have zero in terms of any intimidation and our core players are small (for the most part) and get a lot of shots after whistles.

T-Minus 3 hours and 15 minutes. Please, please Stevie get us some help. For the sake of these players and the fan base mentality, let me be clear, it's a desperate need to make the playoffs this year. Our goalie situation won't get us past the second round, but regardless of stock piling picks and setting us up better for the "future", not making the playoffs would be 10x more detrimental to this teams psyche. This time is right now.
On another note: does anyone agree with me that Lyon has looked shaky, like he's got some major confidence problems as of late? Forget the stats, I'm talking about optics and the "eye ball" test.

Our coaching staff is trying to will Husso into being "that guy"...and I just don't see it. They are going to need to readjust their expectations on him. Yes, he plays above average at moments, but then has these breakdowns where he gives up really soft goals...like awful goals. He totally lacks consistency. Our D and back-checking is a weakness as well...for the life of them they can't seem to cover the trailing guy on rushes/odd man rushes. I've witnessed this at least 5+ times this season. Our D has numbers and both our D commit to taking away the cross ice pass to the other forward...and they drop pass to trailing forward that is all alone, not covered, free and clear for a quality shot. Frustrating.

It's a tryst of passion. Any Wings players have hot moms?....I'm sure they do...but nothing an STD rumor can't fix.

This. Do not want Larkin, Kane, and Cat on the same line.

44 minutes ago, GMRwings1983 said:Perry would help this team. He plays with an attitude (something no other Red Wings does) and is good around the net. Signing him almost guarantees a Cup Finals loss, which I'll take at this point.
Perry would help this team on a real area of need...bigger guy who's absolutely not afraid to get greasy in front of the net and pretty much anywhere on the ice. He's always been one of those players that I hate because of the way he plays and instigates....but also knowing that I'd love to have him on the Wings. We haven't had someone of his caliber in terms of driving the opposition nuts since Malts...and Perry is 4x the offensive player Malts was. I view Perry as a mix between Homer and Malts. Yes...on every level. Although is production has dropped off as he's gotten older...even at age 38...he is still a problem.

They should send Babcock to the homes of the players expected to go in the 1st round. Surprise

Last night was a reminder of how much I hate the overtime format. What a joke. 6 guys skating in a circle for 4:30 with :30 seconds of actual hockey being played. Lame. Let them load up 5-5 and play hockey for 5 minutes.

Did anyone hear Ozzy post game state that he thinks Larkin is likely the best player in the NHL right now?? I know he's a homer, but I was surprised he said that out loud.

15 hours ago, LeftWinger said:Anybody still mad about the DeBrincat trade?
The way this team is playing, you may as well bet on Kane coming here.
I don't know if I'd mess with this chemistry at this point. I'd be concerned that bringing Kane in would almost force LaLonde to break up this line to get Kane with Cat....for all we know, Larkin is a superior partner. Not saying he wouldn't be a good/great addition...but dang, how can you screw with this at this point.

1 hour ago, LeftWinger said:Leafs aren't making it to the ECF.
Trust me...I hope you're right. I just see them improving this year and making it to the ECF. However, I don't think they'll win the cup, and I think they'll digress after this year.

Raymond scores 30+ regular season goals
Seider finishes regular season with 60+ Pts
The Wings are buyers at the trade deadline, but Perron is thrown included in a trade and no longer a Wing
Wings make playoff's as 6 Seed
Wings take the Leafs to 6 games and lose in ECF

I also hope we add at the deadline.
I agree....but i absolutely don't want a rental at this point. I'd be okay with a player we have on the books for next year.
Also, anxiously scanning the radar for Kenny to find and acquire the oldest big name player with ties to Edmonton to bolster their team....and overpay. It's like death and taxes.

16 minutes ago, Akakabuto said:I’m not opposed to trading Leddy and Fabbri. But if that is what the return is I don’t get what the hurry is with trading Ras, Zadina and Hronek. Like Marc said; they have more value staying where they are. Under development by the Red Wings. None of them are finished players.
Agreed, but there is also a fine line (art form really) of dangling players to the market who look like they may have more potential upside and other teams acquiring them in hopes of getting more than the Wings have out of said player vs. keeping these guys in an attempt to get player improvement and showcasing them...when all you may do is confirm to other GM's that these players aren't very good. Sell what you can't see vs. Sell what we have....tricky and that's what good GM's are excellent at managing. I believe in some cases getting something for these guys now is better than continuing to develop or attempt to develop and confirming to other GM's that some of these guys aren't every night NHL'rs.

2 hours ago, Jonas Mahonas said:We are just short some puck carrying defenseman. The Swedes coming in next year should be able to help. The caps played like a soccer team last night. Weathered the early storm, scored a couple quick ones, then went into 1995 NJ Devils trap mode. Gotta have some fluid Dmen to break that. Eddog, Walls, and the Son of John should improve that area for us.
Agreed. There were flashes of the Left Wing Lock in the 3rd. Our breakout and first pass by the D weren't quick or precise enough to get through/behind them most of the night.

1 hour ago, Neomaxizoomdweebie said:For what? He's not going anywhere. He'll retire a Wing by next September.
Don't you think that some team will take him at TD or next year as a 3rd/4th line veteran presence?? At the very least, he's consistent (consistently average...my opinion yes) and would likely be cheap$. I've heard some argue he's above average and plays the unsung hero role on the D and providing support to some of our young D that are still learning the NHL game. I don't agree. However, I think the Wings will try and move him, and if not, will def not take him on again. You gotta think he (and his agent) are going to push for another 1 or 2 year deal to play anywhere to pad the pocketbook. Most players today don't have much prospects of making big $$ after their playing days are over...yeah they can coach, commentate TV/Radio, yada yada....but rarely have big $$ opportunities awaiting after they hang up the skates. My gut tells me he's going to play and get paid as long as he can, for whatever team will pay him. The fact that he's an Assistant Captain will at the very least attract looks from other GM's for sure.

1 hour ago, The 91 of Ryans said:How would that affect the 2020-21 season I wonder?
i honestly don't think it would have any effect on the 2020/21 season. Maybe I'm wrong, but really only a few teams would be playing that late into July as they move through the brackets. The two teams in the SCF would still have a month+ to rest and get ready for the next season. Maybe delay the start of the season by a few weeks or something..but these teams/venues/cities are going to be desperate to get people in the doors asap. They'll want the season to start as soon as possible due to losing months of revenue$ due to the season suspension.

Have been hearing in the last few hours via a few people (full transparency - one is via social media from a guy I have no track record on), that William Nylander is not on the ice for Leafs morning skate due to him being moved to Detroit. They are hammering out the final details as we speak.
