Quoting: PeteKyte
Exactly. Don't worry, never happening. Stevie Y has a plan for DET that is already identifiable as the one unveiled all those years back in TAM. Tons of young guys coming from within, cap space galore. Wings fans should be excited. Three years from now and for several thereafter this team will be a juggernaut.
Yzerman is overhyped. He hasn’t done anything special so far besides the Ned deal.
Reached on Seider (even though he’s great). We could have had Zegras or Boldy and traded back up to take Seider in the high teens.
Mantha trade was good.
Missed a deal that shoulda been made with Shanahan with Toronto for Marleau that would have netted a useful 1st rounder.
Terrible and inexplicable Nick Leddy deal.
Kept Zadina too long. Idk why nobody else sees he’s ass.
Extended Rasmussen. Bad.
Extended/overpaid IMO for Fabbri, although the initial deal to acquire Fabbri was terrific.
Suter signing was OK, but he’s a 3C at best.
Raymond was the obvious pick for me.
Edvinsson pick was probably his best pick and was taken where he should have been taken, unlike Seider.
I didn’t see it necessary to move up to get Cossa. And we missed opportunities on players like Atu Raty & Zachary L’Heureux.
So I’m not really drinking the Yzerman kool-aid like most folks. I need to really see something from him.
I’d like to see him fix the Leddy debacle, get something of value for Zadina and Cossa needs to turn into a poor man’s Andre Vasilevksi before I’m convinced he’s the guy everyone thinks he is.
