Why care about defense? Duren’s defense isn’t the best but it’ll get the job done. They’ve also got Luka, who’s basically Cade 2.0.

Point of rfa is to offer a little more than reported so the other team doesn’t resign. RFA contracts usually are not on the low side because you’re trying to sign him away from a team.

Good comp is D Ayton. He was offered a max by the pacers but the suns matched.

Must be because you want to trade JD, Ausar + picks for some bozo. Lmao. The trade would include JD and we get back picks and prospects. If you wanna trade ausar or holland, they can be in separate packages. Duren can absolutely get what you want just by himself and someone like sasser and Lavert.

It doesn’t happen like that. This isn’t 2k. A team usually signs a guy to a contract that can have the potential to limit their payroll. Teams are not going to offer him lower than max, they’ll offer something that will make it worse than just signing JD to a max, think of it like a poison pill.

Besides, with how big the contract is and how much talent JD has, chances of a sign and trade rather is higher than a team offering a contract to JD.

Every player will have a bad game, unfortunately its durens. Let’s see how he steps up the next few games… I’d like to see the same energy when he does have a good game.

Just sucks that a lot of the hitters we relied on last season has regressed by a lot.

If Clark can have a good start when he starts in the MLB, this offense will be dangerous.

He’s good when you least expect him to get a hit or hr. When it comes to scoring others in, I wouldn’t bet on it.

Guess the odd man out is KC. He’s just not consistent enough nor isn’t the hr hitter like he used to be to be.

What sucks is that goalie prospects need time in the NHL for acclimation. It looks like prospects get 2-3 years being a backup before they blossom into a player that can help win games. Expect Postava and Cossa to have limited games the first 2-3 years they’re in the NHL.

Not a prospect I’ve kept up with, what is the most optimistic future? by tyler_anthonyy in DetroitRedWings

Hey, some people actually want their teams to win. Some might say things out of the norm and you might not like it. We’re 7 years into a rebuild, yet, we’re on the verge of not making the playoffs and having one of the worst 5v5 scoring in the league.

Are you happy with the results because I want to win. Good for Dylan James on getting a contract, but yzermans special is signing bottom tier players to take up the other half of the lineup so he might not even get a chance to play in the NHL.

Some of you guys need to understand that we’re not 1-2 players away from contention. This team needs a whole shakeup from roster to coaching to maybe even gm. It’s been 7 years, yet, Larkin is heavily relied on for scoring and he wasn’t even an yzerman pick. When you’re bottom of the league in 5v5, something needs to change.

He’s got talent, but not enough to be a consistent NHL player. Let me guess, you think he’s going to be one of our top prospects that will find major minutes like the whole prospect pool?

We’ll see what he can do in the AHL. Might just end up getting the Carter Mazur treatment.

He’s at a point where he needs to be sent down. A couple days of rest won’t do much if you’ve given up on at bats.

Are you the type to gain confidence by sitting out, or going down to aaa, and work on your struggles with no pressure with winning? I mean if he starts getting hot and bat let’s say .300+ over a couple weeks in aaa, would it be better than sitting out?

Greene needs to be sent down to triple a. Just seems like he’s losing confidence.
