The Detroit Red Wings were spiraling after a recent three game losing streak. The home stand started with an overtime loss in a game w

Absolutely awesome game. Defensively responsible, active sticks, hitt decently, FOW was a bit low and the PP has become a glaring concern. As I watched the game, my mind drifted to SCPO-calibre play….
Tons of ‘Panera Bread to move their HQ to Detroit!’… Listen, we’ve all spoken to the need for a true scoring threat. But really, what we’ve seen since Eddy went down is have precarious our back-end is. As much as I’d love to see Panerin come to HockeyTown, we need a viable D-dude. Few names such as Faulk and Logan Stanley, probably a few more. Stanley would be a great 2D and allow us to drop Hamonic. I’ve always liked Hamonic, great guy who brings a heavy game but his game just isn’t NHL suitable anymore. Without adding on the back-end, we’re a test-bed Libman broom company – swept cleanly out of the SCPO.
Panerin would be nice, no doubt but I’m also a huge fan of Trochek. We need a stud C. We could package Talbot and call up Cossa (it’s time for him to come up) maybe. I’d actually keep Ras (cannot believe I’m saying that….), because he’s playing a heavier game and is creating play at a much more steady pace.
Bottom line is we have a dire need for D and a 1C (call it 1A/B if you want…). Panerin’s a points guy for sure but he’s older and we have bigger holes to fill than on the wings….
Finally got the colums to update, Jeremy. For some reason my Android wasn’t pulling up your new write-ups 🤷♂️🤷♂️….Dang glad to have them populating!!!

Yes, you have to click on “home” and then “detroit” to have the latest news… mystery of the internet.
Panarin is heading to LA, probably not a good trade for SY again (too old ? too much ? not long enough ?) or maybe he has something better/more reasonable coming soon or before march.
But we really need some depth for the playoffs, and that needs time to work (look at JVR) so let’s not wait too much ! -
Bon jour (😉)!!
Yeah, this whole ‘interwebs’ thing really trips me up sometimes 🤣🤣!
So, with Panarin (I spelled in wring in my post above), I’m not terribly upset. We’d be filling a gap that isn’t the most in need. He’s a touch older for sure, but he seems pretty healthy so may not fall apart like some of the older guys. He could end up like Kane and remain a threat into his later years, but I think we need a C and a D more.
To that point, I read that we’re ‘in the hunt’ for Weegar and Kadri….we’re making a huge mistake on both. Kadri’s too old and his production’s declined steadily over the past few years. Weegar’s a ‘maybe’, but he’s really more of a 5/6 D man vs what we really need (2-4 D).
Watching the Mammoth game; Larkin caught a stick in ‘that’ spot off a face-off, no penalty called on Utah, but the ref nailed Larkin for retaliation…..Larkin seems to be a target for questionable calls at times. Plus, his penalty cost a PPG for Utah to put us down 2. Here’s where Kadri would ve nice to have because he can get into the rough stuff….Whoever we bring in needs to be more physical, we just don’t have enough grit….
