Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Just now, kickazz said: Witkowski scored in the 15th round of the shootout for a winner. Then drops his glove and fights the entire Panthers bench. Subsequently gets banned for the season causing the Wings to lose the rest of the season. Dahlin shows up to training camp in September 2018. Sounds good to me.

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Wings drop to 27th in the league. Good for the Dahlin/Svechnikov cause. Edited December 12, 2017 by Dabura 5 kickazz, marcaractac, SwedeLundin77 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really want to be excited about this, but the thought of finishing last or close it and getting unlucky with our pick spot is a scary thing. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But what’s the alternative? Middle of the pack non playoff team, or squeaking in and not doing squat? The lower they finish, the better. Finish last, they’re still guaranteed a top 4 pick. Plus Vegas isn’t guaranteed a certain spot in the order this season to gum up the works again. I’ll take it. Only way to rebuild is through the draft. Holland has shown us perfectly why ‘rebuild on the fly’ doesn’t work in the cap era. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear ya. Fortunately, it's a deep draft class. I'd be happy with any of Adam Boqvist, Filip Zadina, Brady Tkachuk, Quinn Hughes, Evan Bouchard, et al.

You have to hit some homeruns. That's why the Wings are where they are right now and why the post-Lidstrom "retooling" never got off the ground. 2005-2012: seven drafts, not much to show for them. SAD! Edited December 12, 2017 by Dabura 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SAD! Agreed. I also believe that Holland thought that the Grand Rapids talent pool was a lot deeper and more NHL caliber than the actual reality. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
