Description

David Pagnotta reported that the WIngs are calling up Vrana. I haven't seen it reported anywhere else yet but Pagnotta is pretty well connected. Some think a trade may be in the works but Detroit is sitting 5 points back of the last wild card spot and are 3-1 since the All Star Break. If Detroit can stay hot, I think Yzerman will let this group make a push for the playoffs instead of trading everyone away. This is my best guess of what the deadline will look like if Detroit is in the hunt in 3 weeks.

Yes! Playoffs baby!

According to others it's better to lose and not make the playoffs. Apparently some of the greatest teams in NHL history await us in the first round. Death wish! How to we stop Gretzky or Mario? 🤭

What's our biggest weakness? Can't finish scoring chances. What does Vrana do? He scores goals! Imagine that! 🙂

I agree, this team needs something to play for. Time to build some culture and let the team make a push for playoffs instead of trading everyone away.

The playoffs should be of no concern to Yzerman or the fans. I don't want to see Bert or Vrana traded, but if there is a legit offer (1sts, A prospects, etc.), Yzerman will probably pull the trigger.

I'm sick of selling and I'm sick of missing the playoffs. Aren't you?

Yzerman has repeatedly said he wants to compete for a playoff spot. That's why he signed all those UFA's. That's his goal. He's not tanking. If we fall out of the playoff picture then of course we're selling.

But we're not out of the playoff picture at all right now.
