Steve Yzerman presser 6-20-23

Created by: buffbry9108
Team: 2023-24 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 20, 2023
Published: Jun. 20, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Today Yzerman stressed these specific things in his presser.

Core will be 27 or under and they won't trade any draft picks for players older then that

Player has to have term on their contract

He will not trade #9

Only way he trades 17 or any of the 2nds is if player fits in core 18-27 and has term on contract that makes sense for the red wings

He won't be trading picks and prospects to improve for a playoff spot in the short term

He wants to build through the draft and short term fixes aren't going to happen

He rather fill gaps in free agency then through a trade so he can have the best of both worlds

Players develop at different time lines and he's not worried about making the playoffs or not, he just wants to improve and have his core and young players improve internally

He isn't opposed to moving up or moving back in draft depending what's out there.

This eliminates a lot of what people are posting on here, take it as you will, but this has been the same message for 6 years and hasn't changed today


Side note - this is why so many of us wings fans say no to every proposal on this site, it doesn't match up with what Steve says and does

One of the best GM's ever. It's too bad WPG couldn't make Yzerman President of Hockey Ops on a part-time basis so he could just tell Chevy which trades to make and which not to make. Maybe pay Steve a few Million to just advise the Jets.

ARgh....

This is why I put it here, to hopefully enlighten some of the people who think we are off base with denying most trades

I don't think it's true, their core is being built and lots of those prospects have already been sprinkled into the lineup, add Kasper this year and Edvinsson full time. Little by little it's happening. This to me is better then rushing the rebuild like rangers and leafs did personally

Because you can still mock players with that criteria? Or is every single player that the Red Wings can mock trade for going to be 30 and an impending UFA?

Why even comment something so stupid? Still mad about a 20 year old rivalry?

Side Note: you say No on this site bc you don't have a brain of your own. It's called imagination.

Why are you even commenting here? I legit just took what Yzerman said today and posted it here for context on why wings fans say no, there is literally 0 reason to have any sort of attitude about it at all. Sorry to provide context and facts on why the wings fans are all in solidarity on this site

if all you're going to do is justify real world moves, delete your CF account and become Elliotte Freidman. CF is for possibility, not cancel culture
