Thread: Steve Yzerman has completely lost his mind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wingsfannn</b></div><div>This team is going nowhere , can’t score squat those bottom lines won’t do anything. Everyone knows how strong the east conference and he somehow made us worse than we were

Amazing stuff by Yzerman and not in a good way</div></div>

Sprong and Kubalik both droped over 20 goals and 40 points last year. Trust, this bottom 6 could be solid.

I actually don't mind any of these signings.

Holl 3 x 3.4m is solid.
Sprong 1 x 2m is very good.
Kostin 2 x 2m is on the steep side, but he is BIG and did well in Edmonton.
Compher 5 x 5.1m isn't crazy. He is a low end top 6 or high end top 9 guy. Considering he is a centre, this is what he would cost. He is a very very good #3C, who can play in the top 6 if needed.
Reimer and Lyon are both on great contracts.

Just be patient to see what he does to finish off. He is building for the super long term. He put in some decent pieces today. But the offseason is not done.

Thread: Draft Day Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PLDGEY</b></div><div>I find it very interesting that a lot of DET fans are saying this, but in my experience most fans from impartial teams say that getting a 40goal scorer in their prime, locked up for 8 years is what you would be PRAYING that 9OA turns into.

Fans of every fanbase famously over-value their own prospects and picks

I know the 2023 draft is deeper than the 2017 draft, but &gt;6 years in Michael Rassmussen is an NHL player... but if you could trade him for Cat you know you would in a heartbeat. Sometimes there is value in the sure thing. IMHO, DET could use a little sure thing right now to support their good prospect pool as they look to make steps in a difficult division.</div></div>

You're using Ras as an example, which is a really poor one. That was a historically weak draft.

Cat is not worth the 9OA this year - simple as that.

Look at other picks that were 9, many winners there. Wings pass on this trade all day and it's not close

He scored 27G this season; I think you guys are factoring in the fact that he scored 41 the previous season a little too much.

Thread: Marner Must Go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sean4417</b></div><div>Statistically speaking what has Seider done to warrant the overhype? Loads of potential to continue to be a 40+ point dman but were not talking Makar here. Moving up a dozen spots is a fair deal when youre talking a 40pt 2nd pairing dman for 90pt forward</div></div>

Play 25 mins a night, play strong defensively, carry worthless dmen like DeKeyser, Oesterle, and Chiarot to respectable numbers. Put up 50 points as a rookie. Plays a super physical game

Also he's only 22, and defensemen usually take longer to reach their prime. This likely isn't even the best version of Mo yet

Also Also, Wings aren't a cup contender in the 2 years that Marner is here, then he dips and we have no number 1 dman or top winger

Wings pass immediately
