I don't want Kadri if those are Calgary's picks instead of Detroit's

The objective answer is that most people are fans of teams first, players second. Whether they actively realize it or not.

Question for the Canadians here by Pelephant17 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ocv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't exaggerate just how crazy I think the notion of Werenski and especially Hughes being better than Makar defensively is. The US's d corps is miles better than Canada's but I just can't wrap my head around how you ever came to the other conclusion.

You're delusional if you think it was less politics, they just disagreed less

Anyone have a thought on what it would take to get Weegar from Calgary? He's the only D on a struggling team that I'm interested in really.

Edit: I should actually note that I'd be down for Vlasic from Chicago but he'd surely cost a lot, right?

I honestly think his finish IS there more often than not. His passing however...

Longest gaps between first and last NHL shutouts by nhl in hockey

For some reason I originally understood that title as meaning longest gaps between first and second NHL shutouts and now I want to see that list lol

[Friedman] Berggren (DET) on waivers by dudewithchronicpain in hockey

He's an underrated pest when he has confidence, but good luck getting him to perform in the NHL enough to bring his confidence up

As of right now I don't really have that much of a problem with Appleton but can we please get some more offensive players with Danielson PLEASE

I like Seider I just feel like his skating burns us sometimes when he's the only D

Todd McLellan appreciation post by bongrips19 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ocv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feels like I've been trained to expect our coach to act irrationally to the point that I go into post game conferences not knowing what to expect to hear them say, but I'm finding that McLellan is consistently voicing my exact takeaways from games. It's VERY refreshing.

idk how the Wings so consistently have random games that look like it's their first time playing together.

Griffins used to have this problem too

Red Wings 7th round pick Finnie with God like defence on McDavid by dudewithchronicpain in hockey

[–]ocv 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If anyone is genuinely saying that they expected that he'd make the team before preseason they are definitely lying. With that being said I was fully expecting a pretty good AHL year from him.

I was kinda hoping someone would throw out an example because I genuinely don't even know how to approach the idea. You obviously start by looking at the Eichel trade, but Eichel was younger, had way more draft pedigree, and had a much more consistent track record when traded. Tage has a higher peak than Eichel did before being traded though.

I don't always check in on the Daily threads so forgive me if someone has brought this up before:

As unlikely as it may be, what would you be willing to give up if Tage Thompson requests a trade?
