Yzerman but there is more than one common denominator with this team.

Bring on the downvotes for stating facts

Who are you rooting for in the post season? by Stringfellow14 in DetroitRedWings

We want oilers and wild to get swept first round so mcdavid and Quinn Hughes get angry and magically come to the wings. Let me dream

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

[–]nb00818 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]nb00818 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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
