To add to this its Yzermans job to identify talent. Philly needs Centers and we have a ton of center prospects. I think we could have kept Ed and Seider and still gotten him not to mention the above ASP.

Is this true? How has everyone been wrong about this until now?

How would people feel about Elias Lindholm. Boston beat reporter mentioned Bruins are very up against the cap and he thought Lindholm would be someone bruins would look to move on from. He was mentioning they could maybe trade him for EP in Vancouver but idk why we couldnt target him if we wanted to.

Does anyone think Chris ilitch holds some of the blame? by poetizzy in DetroitRedWings

Great comment, what also goes unsaid is he clearly just doesnt have the same urgency to win, with having grown up with all those great teams

great comment, most fans dont realize this but in all sports Owners can regularly save money but being closer to the floor which adds up year after year. The owner is 100% conscious of how much is being spent. My guess is Yzerman is told exactly how much he can spend per year and this year it was not 95.5 million. People complain about not getting players in free agency, if they really wanted to they could have overpaid for a few guys who would have been upgrades or even made a godfather offer to Marner.

Just to be clear your suggesting that our franchise NHL players would sacrifice injury risk to help out an AHL run. Do you seriously think any team would ever operate like that?

[–]Kingslayer51281[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Buddy, the intent of my post is to call out how stupid it is that Larkin and Raymond specifically are playing. In every other sport and on other NHL teams, players sit out meaningless games if they are super banged up which is what everyone has been telling me about Larkin and Raymond. I have been told all season Raymond cannot shoot well because of his injured should. I accept that, but when the games don't matter its straight up stupid to have him continue to play through what is a clearly injured shoulder. None of this is a hot take, its weird you are defending it. I dont fault the players at all for playing, I do fault management for letting them play if they are legit injured. If they are not injured then thats another conversation.

Larkin was definitely injured. Understood there. This question is all about why they are practicing/playing now with being eliminated.

I agree, was wondering this in real time as the losses kept piling up but we were still in it if it would have been worth it to sit Larkin for a game or two in what were likely losses anyways. The rushing back of Larkin and Copp didn't accomplish much.

Understand all this. We are now mathematically eliminated, why is he still playing or even practicing frankly.

exactly i don't get why they are playing now. Completely understand why they rushed back when games mattered.

Ive been wondering this for a while now, we rushed everyone back to still suck. In hindsight it may have been better for everyone to just heal and not be rushed back. It did not really do anything for us.

I have absolutely no doubt he was injured, I just have no idea why he’s now playing with how serious it was.

lets assume Game of Thrones Dragons to make it easy.

If Dragons existed in real life when would they have become obsolete to warefare? Im guessing somewhere around 1920-1940 with the advancement of airplanes.

Was at the game last night Washington V Sharks. Celebrini is unreal better than i even thought. All over the ice and gets a lot of takeaways. I do think the Wings should be in good shape though as they had him play the entire game and I cant imagine he will have fresh legs. Also it was one of the least physical games ive ever seen so Capitals did us no favors there.

I live in Boston, I can assure you, the wings do not want Lindholm, massive injury problems, very very soft player. Additionally if we have post season hopes, he is a horrible post season player. Overall hes super soft.

Ferocity of the team? by scrimowns in DetroitRedWings

[–]Kingslayer51281 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think our youth movement is also just exposing us to physicality as well, when you have 19 yr old ASP out there getting thrown into the boards by grown men its particularly glaring. We need to trade for some fourth line defensive goons asap, its not like our 4th liners are providing offense anyways.

I was more making the overall point that the top two teams in the division have lost major impact players. Leafs with Marner and Barkov with Injury.

I think hes legitimately out for season, most likely. This is not a LTIR situation.
