The Detroit Red Wings are in the midst of a three game losing streak. Consequently, the team fell from leading the Atlantic Division to being outside
[See the full post at: The Red Wings Are In Big Trouble]Not seeing a path to the playoffs with this roster. Too much dead weight and useless, overpaid veterans that can’t get the job done and play reliable team defense. Why the hell Hamonic is still getting ice time defies logic. Comphor, Copp, Rasmussen, and even Berggren have been a bust. Still desperately need more talent up the middle… nobody worth a crap to play 2nd or 3rd line center. Desperately need a true top 4 defenseman… While Talbot has been a steady reliable tandem type goalie, the Gibson experiment is looking worse every game he plays. Giving up at least 4 goals in 8 of his last 12 games. Still lacking a solid #1 starter in net (who isn’t 38 years old). Time to sit some of these guys and call up a player or two from GR… like NOW !! Definitiion of hockey insanity: keep playing the same crappy players over & over again and expecting to win (or make the playoffs).
Funny that the biggest problem the Wings have had the past 4 years is still the biggest problem they still have not addressed. Not having a decent top 4 has cost them dearly, and looking forward to next year does not seem to offer a in-house solution either. It will cost them dearly to acquire the help that they need, and Y does not apparently think that it would be worth the great cost now. The rising cap has made all valuable players even more valuable and the expense is only justified if that player could make a team compete for a cup, not just compete for a wild card spot.
So it seems that Wings fans will have to just wait till “maybe next year”. 😣Quinn Hughes to the Wings?
SCOTT MAXWELL: Since none of us seems to be going with the obvious answer of New Jersey, I’ll say the Detroit Red Wings. While their defense corps has been much improved this season, they still do need help on the blueline, and Quinn Hughes is the perfect player to infuse into the lineup and open their contention window. Detroit has the cap space to add him without even needing to move money, and they’ll definitely have enough space for a new contract based on how their current cap picture is laid out. They’re also one of the few teams with a prospect pool deep enough to give the Canucks a strong offer. Oh, and Hughes spent two years at the University of Michigan, so he’s familiar with the area. The Red Wings are finally showing signs that the Yzerplan is coming to fruition, and Hughes may be the kind of long-term lineup influx they need to put them over the top.Danielson, Buium, 2026 top 3 protected 1st, Rasmussen (salary), Mazur for Quinn.
Add Lombardi and a 3rd if they include Kiefer Sherwood!
