Kasper was a monster again on Saturday night. SIX shots on goal. He's going to need to continue working on his finishing (as I've mentioned), but he's going to be an absolute beast. Can't wait for this kid.

The obnoxious guy on the Winged Wheel Podcast said Kasper is most likely to turn out like Veleno in a recent episode. But that guy was also a ride-or-die for Mantha, Bertuzzi, and Zadina and a notorious hater of Hronek and Rasmussen so I think his judgement is a little suspect.

Please clarify...  I have it narrowed to 3 possibilities.

Brad Krysko. Proof that, sometimes, all you need is a mouth.

Bingo. The very same guy that called Rasmussen a "career AHLer", and said fans were stupid if they didn't see how "dominant" Zadina was a couple seasons ago.

that in bold sums up a person in need of counseling 

It's the entire reason I loathe that podcast. I don't care about the terrible "take" to be honest. It was how self-righteous they were about it. Like, they were very explicit sometimes with their "you'd have to be an idiot not to see how good Zadina is" narrative. Then, unsurprisingly, Zadina WAS just as bad as everyone else thought and it was crickets from those guys. They just moved on to the next thing.

Their boy Prashanth Iyer of the "Expected by Who" podcast does the same s***. He once penned an article entitled "Brenden Smith really is that damn good" for Winging It in Motown. In the article he compared Smith favorably to guys like Hedman, Doughty, and Lindholm. I pressed him once on Twitter about Smith and he was insanely rude about the whole thing. Then - surprise - Smith sucks and he just conveniently never mentioned it again.

I don't respect people in the "take" business if they don't spend as much time analyzing what they got wrong as what they got right. If you say "Zadina is dominant and you're a fool if you don't agree" and then he ISN'T dominant then you pretty much HAVE to analyze why you were wrong or else you have no credibility. And if you have no credibility then why would anyone care about your "takes"?

That's fine for a fan, but if you're going to make money off "My thoughts on hockey are worth your time and money" then you need to do better than "I was wrong". You need to analyze why you were wrong and not make that mistake again. But how much do you wanna bet they'll be all over the next highly touted, offensively inclined, prospect with good possession numbers?

The show is just plain boring too. 

Your hot take is Zadina is good? Wow very ballsy declaring a 6th overall pick can play... and then to be terribly wrong about it too lol

Lemme guess the hot take this week is Alex Lyon has been pretty good for us so far. Lets talk about that for 45 minutes...

Basically. They think the Wings are a pretender and that Lyon is propping up the team. Because they clearly haven't watched the last 10 or so games and seen how well our defense is playing in front of Lyon and how easy the shots he faces are.

Prashanth got me booted from the Red Wings Reddit Discord.

He asked for a source stating that they asked for Edvinsson and Yzerman offered Johansson. All that you provided was an article saying Pitt might trade him. No mention of Detroit, Yzerman, Edvinsson, Johansson. So no, you didn't provide a source to your RUMOR as asked.

I like canard.

Rumor on the floor stands. SY offered Johansson for Guentzel. 

Dave Pagnotta is reporting via IG that wings have expressed interest in Ducks Frank Vatrano, and Sens Chychrun

Legit rumors, or just slow day Monday banter?

 No to both unless Chiarot or Maatta is going the other way.

It's Pagnotta, so 50/50 chance it's actually true.

IMHO I don't buy all these Chychrun rumors. I think he stays put.

Vatrano would be an interesting addition though. SY probably likes that he comes with reasonable term.
