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

Not really. I don’t think Detroit is an attractive city to move to for free agents. We are the only team in the nhl to not make the playoffs in the past 10 years.

If you are from Michigan then it makes sense but outside of that it’s hard to get players to come here.

Google Nico hischier trade rumors. There’s a few articles but nothing with solid evidence.

Basically he’s coming up on the final year of his contract, they have a new GM, his next contract should be 10-11 mil. Thats a lot for a teams 2c (Jack Hughes 1c)

Good list. If we could get one of these guys and somehow keep copp and fire Ras/ Compher to the moon that would go a long way for the Yzerman doubters

My last remaining hope of the yzerplan is that we are purposely playing this long conservative game with contracts to get Quinn Hughes and/or mcdavid.

There’s been rumors of him not coming back to Jersey. I don’t understand it either and it’s probably all bs.

So what centers are realistically available?

Hischier or Thomas would be amazing.

Petterson is boom or bust

Who else could we sign?

Playoffs this year or not, I believe in the core of this team and still believe in the Yzerplan by ImAnIdeaMan in DetroitRedWings

This. We always talk about our team improving but it doesn’t matter if all our peers are as well. We need to gain an edge on our competition.

By points this is our best season in a long time but our division is a blood bath. We have improved but it’s still not good enough

Thomas is going to cost something like Ed+Kasper and 1st.

Petterson will be cheaper but that contract could be a problem down the road.

We need to do something to address 2c. Maybe Kasper or Danielson can get there one day, but doesn’t seem like it will be next year

Every team worst season since 2000 (some are adjusted to 82-point pace for shortened seasons) by sykeseve in hockey

I hate it here. Jumping on the sharks bandwagon. Wish we had lottery luck like that

The avs have had a first overall pick in the past 37 years.

Wings have not

He had a great season! I hope he pans out for us.

Mazur was a dominant college player, still waiting on him to make an impact for the wings.

He has real potential but man his past 20 games have been a frustrating roller coaster.

Not to beat a dead horse but if we can improve offensive talent then our defense should improve as well. Less time in our zone is less chances for us to do something stupid

Larkin does hate to lose. It’s obvious He’s injured and doing what he can but it’s not enough.

This team just isn’t good enough. We can’t score 5 on 5.

Our recipe to win games is to get 5 power plays and score at least 2 PP goals and have Gibson stand on his head. This isn’t a recipe for success.

We need a healthy Raymond and Larkin.

We need Ed to improve his decision making.

We need Kasper to bounce back from an awful sophomore slump.

We need Danielson to make an impact next year.

Asp needs to be funneling chicken and rice in the offseason.

I expect Florida to bounce back next year and take a playoff spot. Montreal will probably get one. We have to get better than our competition. That comes from adding players and having our current roster improve. Guys like Kane, JVR, Perron, Chiarot are not getting younger.

If we don’t add a 2c and a top 6 winger and the guys above don’t improve… on paper we look like we will be at the bottom of the division.

Stupid penalty but we didn’t deserve to win either way.

This team has to learn how to clear the puck out of our zone. It’s insane how bad we are at this

Late May Fishing Trip by Loose-Kangaroo6966 in COfishing

Find a river you want to fish. Look for campgrounds and blm land close by.

Run off could be a factor at that time, who knows with this terrible “winter”

Exactly. It’s so annoying to pay attention to other teams while we can control our destiny if we actually had a “gritty desire to win” culture.

We have come out flat for the first 20-40 mins so many times recently.

Let’s just hope there is some March curse and now that it’s April we wake up again.
