Thread: Put a cherry on it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>I very much doubt that Yzerman is going to make a move that puts a player he signed only a week ago to a 5 year deal for 5+ millions on the 4th line. I also very much doubt he intends to play a newly signed 20-goal scorer on the 4th line wing. Both of those moves are organisationally really bad for the team.

I especially doubt that he will be paying two high picks and a roster player and a prospect in order to make such bad moves.</div></div>

Having excellent depth at every position is a bad thing? That's the first time I've heard that theory

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>So what’s the plan when Kasper and Danielson start pushing for roster spots?</div></div>

Copp to the wing, push Compher down to 4th I guess. Not ideal to have a 5mil 4th line center, but Kasper and Danielson will be on their ELCs so the timing could work out. We'll see.

Thread: After day 1 of FA

I think the forward lines could be decent. Kubalik looked good on line 1 to start last season. Raymond got his sophomore slump out of the way. Rasmussen - Copp - Perron looked good together before Rasmussen's injury. I think Kostin - Compher - Berggren looks exciting and could be a great line together. The 4th line is trash. Hopefully Walman - Seider can build upon last year, Edvinsson is the only partner that Chiarot looked decent with. Maatta - Holl is a wildcard, but if Maatta was able to make Hronek look good defensively, maybe it could work.

Cautiously optimistic

Yea, sure. If Draper is going to blow our 2-7 picks anyway, might as well trade them for actual NHL players.

Thread: Lets Have A Look

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>And that is fair, too much of a good thing is never a bad thing. The only issue I have with that is it has to move to the next chapter at some point. Future value of picks is where Detroit currently lives. I mapped out in the depth chart where I view things (with a little wishful thinking *Buchelnikov*). I do feel like I get where he is going with the rebuild...

He locked Larkin up (through the wringer), so his captain and number 1 (hopefully 2C) are set. He brought in Kasper and Danielson and "safe" picks but with some upside. Two guys that play 200ft games and can overachieve (a Detroit staple throughout their entire history). So now, the 1-2-3 centers are interchangeable hopefully and all three can perform. None are superstars, maybe even (stars), but great players.

He is focusing on back end out. Seider, Edvinsson, Wallinder, Johansson (x2), ASP, Gibson..... He is crafting what he thinks will be the optimal D with size, speed, blah blah you know. While most fans think he is nuts, look how calm he is always. He knows he has the trust and time to Burger King this Bit*h. (Get it... Have it YOUR WAY). Also, please no more LHD.

*I am still pissed right now that he took more defensemen in this draft than LHD traded to Detroit on this site since the TDL.*</div></div>

Not sure if this was supposed to be a depth chart ranking, but I would rank Kasper higher than Danielson.

Thread: Missed Opportunities

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SweetRevenge19</b></div><div>Dubois showed in the playoffs with CBJ under Torts against Tampa, that when he plays with an elevated level of intensity and when he plays defense, he can be the most dominant player on the ice and dictating the game.
However, PLD doesn’t seem to be interested in being that player, at least not on a consistent basis. The Wings were never interested in the player nor were they interested in giving up the assets to acquire him.

Marco Kasper will be better than PLD.</div></div>

It's impossible to know if Detroit was interested in Dubois, but I'd bet my house that Dubois was never interested in Detroit.

Dubois was never going to happen… Nor were we interested… so why bring it up?

Is Kevin Hayes really a missed opportunity?

I could be talked into Durzi, but everything hasn’t played out, the offseason just began… would like to see what else transpires first before coming to rash conclusions</div></div>

I was interested in Dubois. Much more than ADB

I'd push back on the pretty hard

Zadina > Kupari
Fabbri = Iaffalo
Berggren ~ Vilardi

I'd say it's as close to a wash as one could get. I suppose you could swap Rasmussen for Berggren if you prefer

Thread: Trade top 5 pick

I would do this for Detroit, if Carlsson or Fantilli are still on the board. Maaaaaaybeeeee Michkov. But not Smith.

I'd trade 2 2nds and a 3rd for a low 1st (maybe Colorado's pick @ 27 since they dont have another pick until the 5th round), and add Raymond and Fabbri. Don't really care about Anderson but you can throw him in if its for cap dump purposes.

To Colorado:
#42, #43, #73

To Detroit:
#27

Then

To Montreal:
Raymond, Fabbri, #27

To Detroit:
Anderson, #5

Then

To St Louis:
#17, #41, '24 Det 1st top 10 protected

To Detroit:
#10

Draft Carlsson, Reinbacher, Leonard

Leonard - Larkin - Rasmussen
Copp - Carlsson - Berggren
Soderblom - Kasper - Anderson
Mazur - Veleno - Zadina

Walman - Seider
Edvinsson - Reinbacher
Wallinder - Johansson

Prediction: ADB is going to continue to underperform for the next year and a half until the expectation becomes 25g a year rather than the 40g that Ottawa fans are basing their insane valuations upon.
