Not a suspension but just a blatant trip where he lifts his skate off the ice to clip the guy which leads directly to a goal. Officials have to be better or have to have help to get potential game changing calls correct.
I was at the game today. Too many defensive lapses gave them some high quality chances they buried, but i actually felt like the wings carried the play most the game. Offsets some of the games we've won that we had no business winning earlier in year
Danielson with just 3 points in his last 14. Draper shouldn’t be trusted with our first pick, Hakan should get it in perpetuity.
Glad to see you hop on the Danielson sucks bandwagon. was watching the MSU / UM hockey game last night. Michigan roster is loaded with nepo babies. I think those are all Red Wing draft picks. His son is a little bitch that got his ass beat too.
A month out from the deadline and for once we likely won’t be sellers (mainly because there isn’t a ton to sell besides Lyon). This has to be the time Yzerman looks to add to the roster but it’s gotta’ be for guys with term (or a UFA with an extension in place). This team desperately needs a top 4 D and a top 6 forward. It’ll be a disappointment if Yzerman doesn’t address one of those spots by the deadline.
On one hand, the deadline is when those players are available. On the other hand, that’s when they cost the most in assets.
With all the activity in the NHL the last month there just aren’t excuses to not proactively add talent. When you wait until the summer everyone has more money to spend and it becomes even harder.
Yep. I am warming up to the idea of Cozens, assuming he plays wing for us. The contract is much more tolerable with the cap increase and I think the acquisition cost isn’t going to be overwhelming. It’s not my preference but I think it becomes a more worthwhile gamble under the circumstances.
If we trading with Buffalo I'm asking them about Byram Edvinsson-Seider Byram-ASP Buium-Johansson Seems like D would be set for future (and goalie theoretically with Cossa and Augustine). Could focus all our FA energy into an elite forward
I don’t see the point in Cozens if their asking price is Kasper++. Overpaid and underperforming with only one season that’s in the ballpark of his contract.
I would think you’d keep Seider and Edvinsson split up and pair one of the two PP specialists with each. Also while he’s doing an admirable job, we shouldn’t ask AlJo to play on his offhand in perpetuity. Buium seems like a good complimentary piece in a trade rn as he’s largely redundant.
Regardless how you want up break them up, my point still stands that D would be set after a trade for Byram
Saw a projected trade of Byram for Gustafsson, Wallinder and a 2nd that turns into a 1st based on some conditions.
Copp and Compher have been solid 3rd line defensive forwards unfortunately paid like 2nd liners. But they are two of three players on team with a +2 or higher +/-. When cap increases those contracts will be more palatable, but we probably will try to move on from one of them. Tarasenko on the other hand, not quite sure what the issue is. Although he's SLOWLY improving. 3 goals 5 assists his last 13 is better than his 0 goals 2 assists his 15 games prior to that. They still need more from him. Luckily he has a track record that I think we could probably move on from him a lot easier, think someone would take a shot at him heating back up
What is this Four National tournament? Just a money grab? Also, how did they choose the four nations? Not complaining because I’m actually watching hockey
Money grab in lieu of the all star game. And yeah Russia obviously not allowed and with only a four team format Finland got the nod over Czechia even though they are pretty close these days (Finland’s rivalry with Sweden was certainly a factor)
