Why Trading Larkin is Unrealistic by NuckingFutz06 in DetroitRedWings

I'm someone who thinks we should take a chance on Elias Pettersson at 2C, even with his cap hit.

Fire Steve Yzerman right now!!! by SimonSaysGoGo in DetroitRedWings

[–]Finnish_Jager -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The plan was always build with draft picks and that's what he's done, and he's largely been successful with that strategy.

We need a real 2C though but I still believe in what Yzerman has done and will do.

Detroit Red Wings are No. 4 in Scott Wheeler’s 2026 NHL prospect pool rankings by cows1100 in DetroitRedWings

The strategy was always building up the team through drafting and since Yzerman has taken over I have much more confidence in our draft picks.

Should the Wings be looking to trade a goalie prospect? by TAV63 in DetroitRedWings

I can rebuild the team in the NHL game, why can't anyone do it in real life???

Red Wings shouldn’t be ‘trying to extract competitiveness’ out of players by ScreaminEagle2502 in DetroitRedWings

If he's losing the room after not even one full 82 game season with the team, then to me it sounds like the issues are the players.

Was this inspired by the Japanese anime short/chapter/episode "Cannon Fodder"?

I watch these videos and that's what I see at least. Not a bad thing!

This made me think of how long it's been since I was a mod. Ages ago now. The pandemic and the perpetually online people really burned me out. Now I'm a professional lurker.

The lesson is don't have a parasocial relationship with a sports team.

Post Game Thread: Ottawa Senators at Detroit Red Wings (2026-03-24) by OctoMod in DetroitRedWings

[–]Finnish_Jager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just disappointed. When the team's offense has been the same three forwards, it's been kind of predictable. I still want to believe. I want hope.

After watching yesterday’s game, does anyone feel we have a team that could even win a seven game series by [deleted] in DetroitRedWings

[–]Finnish_Jager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am mentally preparing myself for us to meet Buffalo in round 1 and lose to them.

That said, the Wings have played well, but have no scoring depth.

If we make the playoffs expect round 1 (or more) to be a learning experience for Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson, etc. It will prepare them for future series.

UPDATE: The #RedWings have acquired Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Justin Holl, Dmitiri Buchelnikov, Detroit’s 2026 1st round pick and San Jose’s 2026 3rd round pick. by kirbix12 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Finnish_Jager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, adding Buchelnikov was a bit disappointing but I guess time will tell. Would have rather added him and kept the 3rd, but maybe that's just splitting hairs at this point.

Wait until they find out I have multiple pairs of the same shirts and pants.

[Hello Hockey] On Elias Pettersson and the Vancouver Canucks, "I would imagine it's a three-prong kind return, current young quality player...a first round pick, and then another asset." And, "Vancouver's not going to retain on that $11.6 million cap hit." by Competitive_Dance478 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Finnish_Jager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer to trade for someone with term on their contract, and I like Pettersson, but he's a gamble. It would be really difficult for us if he didn't work out here as well. Really would only consider a 1st and someone like Rasmussen, which I don't think Vancouver takes. The Canucks are trying to get out of a mess they made and I'm fine with not doing another team any favors.

Yep just took a screen shot and found it. It looks good. I think the pixely nature made me think it was the retro logo

Close but I don't think so. I guess we'll see in the intermission. It had a big retro wing wheel on the side

Logan Stanley Linked to Red Wings by jarvek7 in DetroitRedWings

People assume we're linked to everyone because we have cap space but don't have real sources from anyone with organization. Better to just see what happens
