<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HypotheticalImpossibility</b></div><div>If you'll excuse my tinfoil hat for a second, that could be why legacy sports media sources are on the downward spiral. There's so many podcasts, independent people, and even organizations like the Athletic covering advanced theories, statistics, prospects and development, It's impossible to cover half of it. Even Youtubers like The Hockey Guy and Hockey Psychology do a better job covering the sport than the usual beat writers.</div></div>
Haha. I mean... I wouldn't call that a "tinfoil hat theory." It sounds pretty legit to me. Among other things, It's this whole "Influencer" culture infiltrating every aspect of society, not just media. Although, media is probably the most visible because it's everywhere. You can see everything going downhill in quality from food to goods to services to skilled labor (or should I say unskilled). There's good stuff out there too, but everything is so oversaturated with millions of people trying to do the same things. Most of them can sell themselves all day long, but they aren't actually capable of doing those things. Everything is a sales pitch now.
So, yeah, they are spiraling. Even organizations like The Athletic should be feeling the pressure. The New York Times won't hesitate for a second to let the athletic go under and write it off on their taxes, if subscriptions fall below a certain threshold. Which I predict is probably going to happen in the next year or so. They already did all those layoffs last year, subscription prices are going up, quality is going down, and consumers barely have money to eat, let alone pay for a subscription to the athletic. It's not crazy, or a conspiracy theory, if you pay attention, it's just obvious that things are not ok.
lol. Can I take my tinfoil hat off now before I have a stroke?

We take the offer, But we're not retaining 50% on Perron when Kuzmenko makes $750,000 more for a year longer. It's just Kuzmenko and Perron for full salary.

Fair value for Perron. But Perron is a leader on this Red Wings team and as long as they're in the playoff hunt I can't see Yzerman trading him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HypotheticalImpossibility</b></div><div>Something similar is happening in Detroit, I think. Both teams have been bad for awhile, but recently went through a regime change after starting a rebuild way too late. Parts of the fanbase could be a bit restless, but it's not like either team will suddenly be good overnight. Beat writers might just be looking for clicks.</div></div>
Exactly. They're looking for clicks. Which is fine, it's their job. But there are other ways to generate interesting stories, if you can dig a little deeper. Although, hoping for a larger demographic of our fanbases to take interest in prospects, development, and intricate details of the game might be more ambitious than it is realistic. haha

Don't know where you got the information that Kane has to be traded to a contender from, I haven't found anything on it. I'm sure they would get a better offer from a team Kane would accept a trade to. The prospect has zero value to Detroit.

A) They are not forced to trade to Toronto
B) a 4th round pick is a 4th round pick
C) this prospect doesn't seem anything but an AHLer
D) Detroit is loaded with LD prospects, which Kokkonen wouldn't even be a top-3 LD prospect in the system.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vancity2196</b></div><div>I don’t see Dallas having an interest in Dante Fabbro.</div></div>
The grass is always greener on the other side trade. Fabbro is playing a little better than expected and is a little more experienced. While Lundkvist isn't quite playing as expected and has less experience. With it being as close as it is does it stay this way? Who knows but will it matter probably not. But the player on the other team will look like the better option.
With the Detroit trade I doubt the Wings feel they have a need for Faksa with him have another season left on his current deal. Especially with Berggren deserving spot.

Detroit would need to half retain on Copp for the Rangers to even think about it.
But Yzerman isn't retaining for 3 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HypotheticalImpossibility</b></div><div>Moore dropping like he did was a shocker. I wouldn't be too worried about his D+1 production, could be a number of things. Could very well be like what happened with Jonathan Lekkerimaki. His D+1 was pretty unremarkable in the Allsvenskan, but this year, he's almost doubled his point total while playing in the SHL.
As far as what the Hawks do next season, they have almost too much flexibility. $52M for 17 roster spots is just insane. Davidson may have to overpay a few guys on short term just to get to the floor, or pick up a few bad contracts for more picks. Can't say I have a finger on the pulse of the Hawks fandom, but having Bedard ripping up the league should placate things for a couple seasons, right?
As far as Raymond, Detroit would have to be full firesale before considering moving him. Kid took a huge step so far this season, and is by far the best young forward on the team. I agree though, the notion of trading for him just doesn't make sense from either side.</div></div>
Yeah. Idk. Some fans complain and some are on board with being patient. I think some of the CHI beat writers make a bigger deal out of poor performances because, well, that's their job and there isn't currently a whole lot to write about unless they are willing to dig deeper, which most of them don't seem to be. Everything I see seems to be very surface level and reactionary, none of them seem to actually watch juniors or college prospects. None of them seem very interested in profiling draft eligible players, and/or speculating on what they are trying to build/what the finished product could look like/etc.
Personally, I am on board with the patient approach. I am in no rush for any results. I fully realize how long this is going to take if they are going to do it right, and I am very intrigued by scouting, development, and the entire rebuild process, really. In discussions, people are always putting deadlines on things where there doesn't need to be. Like "oh, they gotta be better this year" or "they gotta be better next year", "there needs to be tangible steps taken", etc. Players take time, and we can't rush this. Plus, I don't want some late 20's dude getting overpaid because they had a really good season and then their contract becoming a boat anchor when we are actually ready to start competing again because their career is winding down.

If he continues to play the way he has a 1st completely plausible. Especially if Savard is worth 1st. Ghost is producing at a higher rate and he has been much better defensively than Savard this season.
