Yzerman’s Inability or Reluctance To Make a Splash
Sacrificing your youth to a player over 10 years older is not a worthy plan for a long term playoff team, which is the Yzer-goal.Where Do the Red Wings Go From Here?
Kicking Y upstairs is not a remedy for the long rebuild. Y gets a final year to prove himself and utilize some of the talent he has acquired that is doing very well in Grand Rapids. There are also trades to be made, mostly to reinforce the bottom 6, so that should not be too costly. If there is an Alec Tuch, Mason Marchment, Arvidson, or Jenner in FA, go for him! A trade for a premier LD like Gavrikov would be nice……I did enjoy your post, though Mike…..even if it is a painful reality.
Good! Time to get rid of FanDuel! Be cool if they offered it for free like Dallas and Victory!
What D-man is Detroit gonna get. I hear Toronto is going to have “the conversation with Morgan Reilly. I think he can be gotten cheap as he is a cap dump as well. He is 31 and has 4 more years after this one at $7.5M. He can handle 2nd pairing with Chiarot and they can decide who plays the RS as both can. Then ASP can be bumped to the 3rd pairing and Travis is in the press box.Wally would be totally exposed as he is not ready. Holl would be OK for a call-up until Y finds a trade option.
Detroit is very deep in very good prospect goaltenders. Postava is sporting a .944 in GrandRapids, Augustine may be leading his squad to an NCAA championship, Gylander is .909 with the Walleye, Guimond is .920 with 32 GP in the Q, Cossa fetching a premier 1st pairing defender is what Detroit has been needing for a long, long time! You don’t dismiss that, especially with the depth they now have in goal!
Coud just do Cossa for Nickishin of the Canes straight up.In the broadcast last night Chelios suggested going all out to get Werenski by giving them Cossa and more………….This has got by vote!
Just some more support for not getting an overly expensive rental named Rasmus:
I am glad Y did not go all out for Andersson. He was not going to sign in Detroit, so the “interest” that was exhibited only pumped up the price. Soucy is nothing but a depth rental and should only fetch a 4th. A better solution would be Braeden Schneider. Y should be all over this if he becomes available. The D has needed fixing and a 2nd pair guy for what seems forever. It still needs fixing and will cost dearly.
I called it! To Vegas he went for Whitecloud, a 1st, and another pick or a prospect I said! But they got another pick AND a prospect. It is a great return for the Flames, despite Zach not having “star power”, but he is solid!
Rasmus and Noah reunited!
Will Vegas do OK with their goaltending though?I thought Schnieder was a true 2nd pair guy. I guess I don’t watch the Rags enough to judge….
My only favs on you team are Shesty and Trocheck, though I certainly don’t see them being traded.Ditto the sentiment on beating the Laffs! A good season cannot be w/o taking the series with the Laffs!!!
Seen an article saying DeBrusk will be a healthy scratch and the article already postulated that he be traded! DeBrusk could be a good Wing pickup, if that happens. A reasonable cap hit at $5.5M, but for 5 more seasons………till he is 34.Kasper is waiver exempt.
Good to see this site come back to life!
Wings beat the Stars in OT and appear to have the resilient nature to compete for more prominence in the league! I hope they find the consistency to keep up this effort!!!!
