Thread: IF we win the lottery
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AnyoneButTheBruins</b></div><div>Thank YOU!!! Everyone is saying sign Krug! SIGN KRUG! WHY!?! He's good yes, but he will cost way too much and we will get all of the good years out of him when the red wings will still be bad. It makes no sense! Of course, everyone just wants him because he's a Michigan boy! So, lets overpay another Michigan boy and see how that works out. Abdelkader I'm looking at you.</div></div>

i mean i would be happy if the wings ended up getting Krug this offseason. But a lot of things would have to go right i think, (wings prospects showing promise, drafting Lafreniere, Bruins winning cup)

I just don't see it realistically happening. Id say the wings are 2-3 years away from making the playoffs and they'll be real contenders in 4-5 years. By that time, Krug is a little older but you always want a player who has been to the finals before and know what it takes to win.

Thread: Yzerman Rebuild pt2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>its a line up of good players but no franchise players unless zadina or Raymond turn into them. Can it be a team thats better than the sum of its parts, maybe if the right coach comes alone.</div></div>

I still believe Zadina can be a 30-40 goal scorer in the NHL. Hes been finding his game in GR and makes elite plays down there. Still young, still learning, his time will come.

Ive seen Raymond compared to Mitch Marner a lot and if he can be that and drive that 2nd line, they would be hard to stop.

as for a coach im kinda split on that. Blashill has won at every level and our guys have gotten better every year i think hes done a good job helping develop them, however there are stretches where i think "what the hell is he doing." I like him and hate him at the same time

Thread: Holland is the best GM change my mind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>I feel the need to bring balance to the force in this retort even though I don't agree at all with the AGM title.


Detroit since salary cap implemented:

13 seasons - 1 Stanley cup, 10 playoff appearances , passed the 1st round of the playoffs 6 times.


Calgary since salary cap implemented:

13 seasons - 0 Stanley cups, 7 playoff appearances, one single time past 1st round.



I know Detroit gets a lot of flack for putting together a colossal nightmare cap wise these past couple years but since the cap was implemented they've been a powerhouse and one of the best teams in the league for a long long time. I think peoples recency bias is showing when it comes to Detroit.

PS. I'm not a Wings fan in the slightest.</div></div>

Detroit was carried by Yzerman, Fedorov, and Lidstrom. Then as they stepped out, It was Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Lidstrom. All players were drafted by Jimmy Devellano. He completely built that team from the ground up and Holland rode the wave of franchise players until they couldnt play any longer.

Thread: If they nab Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike</b></div><div>No ..our picks are too valuable for rebuild..plus i don't think u can lottery protect them....plus IF u do offer sheet ..do it at $10.4 so it's the lesser comp pkg of 2 firsts 2nd &amp; 3rd...but i wouldn't...now if do a kapanen/Johnsson or Meier ..type at 6+ m or less type offer sheet</div></div>

you cant lottery protect them. my thought process was if we somehow pull off getting marner and we know this team will start getting better with the guys it has in the system, wings will start picking 10-20 range, out of those four 1st round picks, how many could become a 100 point player? probably none. although it probably is better to have that kind of depth throughout. idk, would be interesting to see how it would play out.
