The Detroit Red Wings are facing an incredibly difficult schedule. However, the team continues to surprise fans during the month of December. Detroit
[See the full post at: Red Wings Strong In Back-To Back Sweep]Seider is now in Norris trophy territory. Anybody who disputes that is insane. Wings sitting in a good spot heading into the XMAS break. May be time to send Kasper down to GR to get his game back on track. Disappointing.. but probably necessary. Appleton is back from injury to take his place for now. Love how Leonard has stepped in seamlessly and been so effective. He has all the tools and intagibles… now he has to be consistent and keep putting up points to say in Detroit. Good to see Hamonic sitting on the bench. Yzerman needs to pick up the phone call the Columbus GM about Zach Werensky’s availability. He has ties to Michigan (U of M) and playing with a couple current Red Wings… He would be a legit top 4 defenseman and make Detroit instantly better.
And how about those Griffins ??!! Simply awesome. Never seen a team this effective in all my years living in GR. Talk about a well-oiled machine.
I thought last year was Kaspers final year of being waiver exempt. Am I wrong? If they tried to send him down he would definitely get claimed.
Man I would love to see Werenski in red and white. I laugh thinking about the time when Larkin bought tickets for Zach’s parents to come to the game and then they ended up dropping the gloves with each other.
I totally agree with you about Hamonic. The best place for him is in the press box. He can be a depth defenseman if multiple injuries occur. I would even pull a couple guys up from GR before playing him anymore.
I don’t see Yzerman giving up the assets necessary to obtain Werenski, but I do believe he’ll make a trade relatively soon for a solid top 4 LD. A big physical stay at home type with decent puck skills to pair with ASP would be ideal. All the D-men currently in the pipeline project as bottom pairing types at the NHL level.

Yzerman may not give up the assets if the price is too steep… but it’s worth making an inquiry to find out. If Columbus wants to “retool” or start a new rebuild he is their most valuable piece. He’s not worth the same haul that Vancouver got for Hughes. The price would be less. I know Werenski is pretty unhappy right now with his team and he’s already called them out publicly. If Werenski is not available or the price is too high… I think as you mentioned Yzerman will be looking to shore up our top 4 defensemen. Problem is those guys aren’t cheap… and not many available. It’s Yzerman’s top priority right now to fix the defense. The rumor I read somewhere is that Vancouver probaby wanted Edvinsson… so Yzerman backed our of the deal for Hughes. Which was the right call IMO. Makes no sense to get Hughes if it leaves too many holes to fill on our roster. Yzerman wouuld have been dumb to give up the equivalent of what Minnesota gave up for him.
