Chairman Profile - CapFriendly

Lol totally get it just trying to clear the logjam we have for bottom forwards and get something of a placeholder for 2nd line C for a few years and get above cap floor.

So what’s an alternative?? How do we get a 2nd line C?

Thread: Firing Blashill Signifies a Push

I think Yzerman addresses the second line centre position, (among other things) either via trade or you’d have to pay a premium or give on term, I don’t think the Kadri contract is unreasonable and we could use someone with an edge. Not sure he is it but I see the logic and he’s been durable and pilling up the points.

Thread: Canadiens de Montreal

Detroit does not accept, we don’t want Petry, maybe Petry of 4-5 years ago but not now and not for zadina. The only way I see it happening is a Petry and a 2nd to Det for some marginal 4 liner or minor leaguer as we’d be doing them a monster favor getting them out from under that boat anchor.

Thread: Offseason

Petry has really struggled mightily recently and we have had our fill of struggling 30yo defensemen, if the Leddy experiment would have worked I might be open to trying with us getting a 2nd and not giving up anything but not anymore. Detroit passes and looks for a more useful cap dump from another team.

Thread: What to do for a 2nd C LDs and a Solid G

Totally get it, I was getting wild. What would you do? How would you address the issue? I see a lot of LMFAO and Way too much comments on posts.... but no suggestions. What's the solution in your mind?

These "incremental steps" and "growth from within" strategies are a tough, uncertain road that will waste the great years of Vrana, Bert, and Larkin. We have no strong C prospects, LD and G are coming but if they all pan out, 4+years away right now.

Thread: We need everything a 2nd C scoring depth Top4 LHD Goalie

I agree with not handcuffing the future to plug these holes, what do you think for the d centre and goal then? What’s the solution, same as this year, sign some aging vets?

Thread: What is the Yzerplan next year

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeneralLandro</b></div><div>If Lindholm were to sign that deal, he would already be resigned in Anaheim</div></div>

Maybe, but will they want to drop that much when Drysdale, Terry, Lundestrom, Zegras, and others coming along nicely? In a couple of years they'll have some massive contracts coming. Although they are playing well my though was their core is younger than Detroit's which might make them less willing to invest that cash in a player that may not be a part of their core.

Thread: What is the Yzerplan next year

I thought the same thing about Cossa but, although he most likely won't ever repeat his draft year stats, he's had a bit of a bumpy year stats-wise below .920. Thinking he might be 4 years out and I am guessing the front office will want to be competitive before then. Who knows can't wait for that kid.

Thread: Next Year Looks Even Better

Was counting on a potential 'Sophomore Slump' for Seider and Lindstrom, so we'd need a cheap veteran or two and we know them but we certainly have space for an upgrade and I'd trust whomever Stevie would sign if we went that route. Maybe year 2 is even better for the young defence, who knows.

Either way we have cap space to be flexible and the team has been fun through 10ish % of the season.

Thread: i like eich

Pull the trigger! I think any team would be lucky to have him. Some might look at him as cancer but him and Larks as #1 and #2 would be a pretty good combo. Throw in a horrible year and add in Shane Wright and oh boy!

Thread: Raymond and the right shot forwards

We've not had a young offensive talent like Raymond in years, probably a decade or more. We always go the draft and development route, we did with Zadina/Ras/Vel, and Z's scoring has dried up and trending in the wrong way these last two years so we all see how that's gone.

Also, we're all working on hypotheticals - he needs to adjust to the smaller rink (doesn't seem like it so far), these are just preseason games (not that its the best person to quote but Blashill said that CHI game was basically CHI's regular season roster and the kid killed it) and what if his confidence falters and he fatigues later in the year (what if it doesn't and he pots 60+ points wins the Calder and the rainbows and unicorns descend on Detroit). Whatever. Anything can happen, look what happened to Vrana after 10 minutes on the ice this year. Bummer.

To me, a nobody 30+yr wings fan and hockey player like everyone else here, he looks legit. His shot is lights out, and in my very humble opinion his shot is a billion times better than Zadina's, meaning, and its so so early but, we've not had an offensive prospect like Raymond in a long time. I say put him in the NHL, screw this 'season in the AHL' because Raymond is not Veleno, Zadina, Ras, whatever forward/offensive prospect we've had in the last few years. He's clearly better than all of them from an offensive stand point already and we need goals to get better, improve our power play and the same formula doesn't work for everyone. Let's go already!

Do you think Erne’s input was an anomaly? If so, that makes sense to me. Who replaces DDK? When healthy, a big if, he looks like the best NHL ready option.

Thread: Dreamin Year and a Half of Tarasenko

Nice, I bet "Deal" is what CAR heard from DET when they proposed the Ned trade, lol. Also, what do you think it'd take for STL to do a trade?

Det probably wouldn't give up much as they know he asked to be moved and the relationship is over, which usually means the return is usually lower.

I don’t think a Tatar retread makes sense but who knows. I’m excited about the next three weeks, should be fun!

Thread: Thoughts

We’ll when it’s reported someone asks for a trade, and He surely has, the team usually doesn’t get a ton a la how we got Fabbri for basically. Nothing. Also why would he come to DET, no one else has cap room, just an idea.
