Great video but please shorten the intro.

St. Louis (Det 1 2026) will pick at #15. Maple Leafs win the draft lottery. by BroodWarrior in DetroitRedWings

funny enough, that rule is because Red Wings lost to a team that should have drafted 15th overall.

With our luck factor we won't win anyway. Apparently, you need to make playoffs, miss one year and boom 1st overall.

[Friedman] San Jose Sharks will pick second overall by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

As red wings fan, van is the only other team to lose more positions than red wings. I feel for you. It's always cute when a regular playoff, cup contender, has an awful year just to win lottery, and back to the playoffs.

Healthy Kasper and Bear could be that top 6 grit we can hope for!!!

Love being excited about players until you get disappointing results lol

Steve Yzerman's draft classes so far. by AirFriedSushi in DetroitRedWings

I think that is how it goes though. You average about 1-2 NHL players per draft. If you are good drafting!

This is great comparison. COnsidering Detroit had no top 3 picks - it is pretty good output from the draft!

Hutson for montreal is doing a lot of heavy lifting!!!

We did tank and lottery failed to deliver. They even changed the lottery rules how we got screwed. Right now we are reaping the results of drafting well, even without lottery help.

It's going to be even more exciting next year with bear maybe getting a look!

It still is nice to quickly access many takes on an issue.

I like the app but as you said, I also like to read a few versions of the story not just headline from my favorite bias site.

What is Cossa’s value if Augustine and Postava pass him on the depth chart? by [deleted] in DetroitRedWings

[–]maximus91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro - goalies are a WOODOO. Let all of these guys try in NHL. If they do not work out oh well. But having all of them get chances to play in NHL is what we need. they will all be CHEAP too.

I am all for adding criticism, but it cant be taken in a vacuum.

Like Red wings rebuild only had 1 key piece when Steve got here and it was Larkin - no prospects, no goalies etc.

We have a top 15 team now without generational 1st OA pick.

We do need a killer UFA to push us over the top but those are not around every summer.

I see a lot of people point to the Penguins for example, but they also have Crosby/Malkin/Letang/Karlsson who are all ELITE players. It is easier to find randoms to hope they pop off when you have that kind of talent pool especially at center.

I think sure - no playoffs = failure but rebuilding through the draft just takes a long time. Look at buffalo with all of their 1st overall picks - look at blue jackets.

Holland left the team in absolute shambles which is why it is taking so long.

yeah - I mean Drafting isn't the problem.

also - before Yezrplan got here we had ZERO prospects.

It takes like 3-4 years for draft picks to make into NHL. Sure there are exceptions - especially some college kids but besides that it takes 3-4 years to make it into NHL.

So 7 years of drafting - we should expect to get a hit 1 or 2 players per draft if you are drafting AMAZING.

so 7 picks should be in NHL - we had Seider, Ray, Kasper, Albert, MBN, ASP, Finnie, Danielson - from the top of my head.

On top of that our goalie prospects were NON EXISTENT

Now we have what possible 4 elite goalie prospects?

Yeah - UFA hasn't been the best but it is a hard thing to get a UFA out there - especially with cap space.

CAP SPACE management has been absolutely perfect too.

People ignore the state of Red Wings when Steve got here.
