Jimmybigrigs69 367 Report post Posted March 14 Was in Detroit briefly and got last min tix to the Buffalo game off a scalper Sit next to two 10/10 cuties in Peterka jerseys Ask them what is Peterka's role on the team? They don't understand Spend 30 minutes breaking down the difference between powerFs v snipers, top 6 v bottom 6, what a forecheck is, etc... "Idk dude, he's good" Watch game He's a top6 shooter Where were you when you realized puck bunnies destroyed our sport? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtlantaHotWings 1,124 Report post Posted March 16 Soooo as we arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic of a season. At what point if at all should we put Holl on waivers or move Shine back down and bring up some youth from GR? What is the tipping point ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rumor has it, ASP will be coming over to Detroit after the Swedish season ends. That is when Holl will be waived again. Of course we cannot have ASP play more than the allotted games so he doesn't burn a year of his ELC. I think 9 games? 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted March 16 Young guys are stepping up for the Wings here. Maybe this is their moment to take over the team. Marco in particular has been excellent. Reminds me of Kesler or O’Reilly. Super heads up player with tons of hustle. He’s been a godsend this season (after the coaching change). I don’t know if SY did it for this reason or not, but by not drastically changing this team he’s placed a lot of faith in HIS draft picks and they’re delivering at a pretty young age. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted March 24 I hope ASP comes right to Detroit (don't wanna go over in games though, can't burn one of those contract years) and Holl sits the rest of the season. May as well sit others too and bring up a couple more prospects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
town123 231 Report post Posted March 24 (edited) And MBN to the Griffs. Might as well use the rest of our season invested in the future. Edited March 24 by town123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmybigrigs69 367 Report post Posted March 24 As others have mentioned... MBN and ASP will likely finish their seasons with the Griffins. But the other two whom seem just as ready are Kiiskinen and Buchnelikov. If they are not signed nowish, or at the very least this summer, I'd be super surprised. I really don't see much of a reason to sign ANY UFAs this summer... maybe some Austin Watson types just for competition, but we dont need any big term comitments IMHO.

I'd re-sign Kane if he wanted to come back, but ya, unless we could get a #1 LHD, I agree. Just promote a couple more prospects. I would buyout Tarasenko and Holl for sure.

town123 231 Report post Posted March 24 Chychrun anyone? I wonder how much he would cost assuming he would want to come here. He would solve our LD situation perfectly. 1 LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just promote a couple more prospects. I would buyout Tarasenko and Holl for sure. When it comes to Kane, I just don't understand why he'd stay at this point. Last year we barely missed the playoffs and it seemed like we barelyyyyy got him to come back... now we're farther away from the playoffs. If he wants to stay, great, but at this point I'm happy to give his roster postion to a player who might actually be here in a few years as well. Tarasenko has been a big let down fersure. But he's a cup winning vet with 1 year left. I think we should just keep as a papa (and mentor to buchnelikov) in the lockerroom and avoid the buyout. Holl, kinda the same, I would probably keep as well. Serviceable 6/7 guy. But only to avoid the buyout and keep some stability in the room while we transition. Again, its only 1 more year we gotta put up with him. GUSTAFSSON SHOULD BE PUNTED INTO THE FUQQING SUN. Full buyout ASAP. He's not holding his own or delivering on the offense we specifically signed him for. Release: F Kane, F Smith, F Motte, D Petry, G Lyon, F Hanas, F Tralmarks, F Snively, F Gettinger, D Viro, D Rafferty, G Alexander and G Campbell. Re-sign: F Berggren, F Soderblom, D Johansson, D Lagesson, D Tuomisto Add prospects: F Savage, F Buchnelikov, F Kiiskinen, F Brandsegg-Nygaard, and D Sandin-Pellika Buyout: D Gustafsson Sign UFAs: 2nd pair RHD + various GR depth Kasper - DBoss - Ray DCat - JTC - Berggren Ras - Copp - Tarasenko Soderblom - Shine - Mazur Extras: Danielson, Lombardi, Watson Chiarot - Seider Eddogg - UFA RHD AJo - Holl Extras: Lagesson, ASP Talbot/Mrazek Extras: Cossa/Gylander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have zero desire for another LHD. That said, I hate the caps. Oh Dylan Strome is too shiddy of a skater to play in the hawks top 6? Yeah hes our #1 scorer. Protas, our 4th line grinder, yeah hes our #2 scorer. Yeah we have two random goalies no one has ever heard of... theyre both great. Ovis like 300 years old but hes on pace for like 600 goals this season. Chychrun sucks at actually defending so we picked him up and told him "stop that" and now hes actually really good. Oh PLD? Yeah i guess hes been cancer on 3 different teams now but he tries with us.... lol They cant keep getting away with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
