His captain potential has been vastly overestimated. We are about a month away from images of "Mo Money" using a brick of cash as a phone in a las vegas hotel room.

Yah, it's really going to matter. we saved 7 mil over 7 years. Woopty do. Boring. Could have wrapped him and Raymond up in June for 1 mil more each year, then gone after Broberg and Holloway. Instead, we signed a bunch of bad insurance players and have a pile of crap on our roster right now. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmybigrigs69 467 Report post Posted July 9 Gentle reminder of what SY and Lalonde have squandered and ruined... I'm begging Mclellan... stop wasting this kids talent as a lidstrom-esque game manager. I remember a quote from Bowman when the Russian 5 debuted: "idk who taught you guys to play like that, but dont change anything" STOP trying to change Seider and just unleash him. I miss the bad-azz from years 1 and 2. Let him do his thing. God plz. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it's a partner problem. When Chiarot first joined the team they had awful chemistry as a pair. With Big Ben always trying to take the lead and be THE GUY. But this last year or two that really changed and they played much better together. If anything, I think it has more to do with the overall lack of talent in our entire D lineup. Because of that fact, coaches know they need Seider on the ice as much as humanly possible. Therefore they want him playing efficiently and conservatively. It just sucks, because that's not his strength. Sure, he's proved he can do it, eat 25 min a night and be a steady force... but the kid we fell in love with wasn't steady. He was creative, dynamic, explosive, and could be an absolute cannonball on the ice. THAT's what made him special. That's what set him apart. Now my fear is the Red Wings have sapped that natural instinct from him... That one day they're going to say "Okay, Ed and ASP can now handle big minutes, Mo, feel free to go out and be your old bully self" and it will be too late, and that style game will have been coached out of him. One of the reasons I love Copp, JTC, and I like the Appleton signing is because their presence keeps Larkin off the PK. Larkin does NOT belong on a PK unit. It's a missuse of personel. Keep that kid in the Ozone as much as you fuqqing can. Similarly, it's a missuse/disservice to Seider to ask him to play this style game. We desperately need another big minute RHD, so that we can drop Seider's minutes from 25 min a night, to something like 22-23 min a night, in which he can play more free/loose/explosive. Honestly - keeping Hronek around may have alllowed that to happen, and a more natural progression to Seiders development may have ensued. But he's been forced to be something he's not here, and it pains me to watch. ASP cant come quick enough. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
