Scott R Lucidi 675 Report post Posted January 17, 2024 Larkin MADE Tyler Bertuzzi. Simple as that. Zadina was never made. He's still an associate. The BIG PROBLEM the Red Wings have right now is Andrew Copp for 3 more years at 5.75 million and Ben Chiarot for 2 more years at 4.25 million. That's 10 million bucks of unnecessary expense at this point. Copp is not the guy we thought he was. He's a huge disappointment. Chiarot is chewing up minutes while our lazy eyed, goofy looking Scando Swedegards get ready, so I don't have too much of an issue with him at this point. But it would be nice to unload a year of his contract if possible. Going to be a tough task for SY at the upcoming deadlines to trim these 2 pieces of dead wood.

kipwinger 8,756 Report post Posted January 18, 2024 Chychrun is pretty good. He was also overrated around NHL circles forever based on his physical tools. I posted a comparison between he and Hronek right around the trade deadline last season and their careers are remarkably similar (at that time). But he was often treated by media types like he was the next big thing. He wasn't. In reality he was the next Cam Fowler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copp, Fischer, and Rasmussen are forming a nice shutdown 3rd line who adds some secondary offense. Not unlike the Maltby-Draper-Kocur line of the 90s.

The fact that they add a little offense too shows just how good those guys have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not unlike the Maltby-Draper-Kocur line of the 90s. Copp stepped his game up the last 5 or so. I will admit to that. I just find myself noticing the same freaking giys out on the ice every time the other team starts to cycle us. Offenders in order: Chiarot Petry Copp Rassman Im thinking Copp and Ras might be guilty by association = suffering from being on the ice when the Chiarot pairing is out there.

The 91 of Ryans 3,019 Report post Posted January 19, 2024 I expect at least another really low low like the one in December . Most likely due to Lyon falling back to earth. Either way, this team has taken a step, in general, IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
