Yeah, a poorly called game that almost robbed Detroit of a victory! The buzzer was still sounding when Apple released the puck to the net. Close……..but I understand the ire. Good to see Detroit kept fighting for the win.
Kane is out for a while. Berggren is a poor replacement, but he will have to do. Wings need another top 6 winger, like Alex Tuch or Anders Lee, they are on their last year of their contracts. Time for Y to get active and snag a vet to mix in with the yutes! 😁
I still see the defense as lacking. ASP making the team is great, but he should be protected on the 3rd pairing for a few months. He still is learning the defensive game. It would be wonderful to be proven wrong!
Finnie and Branny will have to weather the rigors of a very long season. Hopefully they do. I would love to see them up for the full season! My hope is that Y bolsters this team with other additions throughout the season and takes advantage of the teams that will bail early for a chance at McKenna.With the Gibson acquisition, it blocks Cossa from coming up unless an injury happens, which likely will. I think Postava will surpass Cossa. I think Cossa gets traded if that becomes apparent, which also gives Augie a path next year. Wings have too many goalies and will have to shed some in the next 2-3 years.
Wings still need a top 6 winger and a 2nd pairing RD before they can accomplish a playoff climb. Finne may be an answer for top 6, but not till March or next year. I would love to see Anders Lee come to Detroit for Bergren and maybe Cossa or picks other than a 1st, but Lee is a mid-season trade.
As for RD, Andersson is too expensive for a guy who just had a sub-par season. Hamilton would be a good pick-up, but he only has a 10-team trade list, and I don’t think Detroit is on it. Forget Karlsson till the price goes wayyyyyyyy down. If Hamilton or Karlsson gets traded to another team, watch Y go for that teams’ cast-off, he likes RDs that have been cast-offs! ????
