Thread: Atleast 1 More Year of Mediocracy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hylyx</b></div><div>i dont mind one more year of being mediocre to make sure this is a long term contender, however this team is still good enough they land with the like 8-16th pick next year i think if we are gonna be meh it needs to be bad enough we have a shot at bedard</div></div>

I don’t disagree with you, just highly doubt Stevie only makes mediocre depth signings to completely tank. Don’t think Bert makes it past the 23 draft, if he’s moved during the season that’ll make them worse with some extra draft capital.

The Wings over performed last year in my opinion, and even with Lalonde taking over I see the 10 and under range as more realistic. NJ and OTT will be more aggressive due to recent statements and PHI should rebound with Torts alone, so some less competition in the backend. Don’t see the Wings finishing worse than ARI, MTL, SEA and maybe CHI if they fire sale here soon, but DET, BUF, ANA, CLB and SJ could all finish in any order right after. Still decent odds (Ik… the Wings luck) and at the very least with the deeper draft, could potentially make it out with a completely acceptable alternate option.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aktobos71</b></div><div>Im not wings fan, but I agree, this team need one more year. blues goalies after signing with another team, dont exceeded their perfomances (hutton, allen, elliot).

Considered that when looking at goalies. I chose not to sign Campbell and the other high end goalies as I felt they’d get the Wings a few more wins and into the not so sweet spot (territory between playoff contention and bottom of the barrel).

D is just really hard to improve this year without trading, especially LHD as they are all aging vets. Opted to play youth over signing an additional guy like Zadorav or Edler. Agreed though.

Think both Larks and Bert extensions happen after free agency.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>Lots of players have peaks and valleys throughout the season. It's not uncommon.

You act like that because random people on a message board means anything in the real world. A hundred wings fans could tell me no and I'm still saying yes.</div></div>

You used an article from the last season to justify your argument and I used the same article from the same season to counter… Value is wrong is all I’ve been getting at.

You threw out a blanket statement claiming people knew nothing about hockey directed at those who posted just because others didn’t agree with you. That’s fine, you can feel that way, but my opinion and many others opinions some of which have posted to your very thread think you’re wrong and that is our opinion. Last I’m commenting, have a good weekend.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Not because he stood up for his beliefs. It is because what he believes is stupid and dangerous. Not to mention, bringing in more controversy and distraction is the last thing CHI needs to be doing. As I said, he will return more than Eichel or he won't be moved.</div></div>

Agreed on the controversy aspect, didn’t consider that. Disagree that what he did was stupid. And I’m not an anti-vaxer for the record, fully vaccinated and had it way back when. If you look at the big picture how Covid was handled, I don’t blame the guy for not wanting to get vaccinated and rolling with the natural immunity. With most pro leagues and places opening up, NHL and Canada should be following suite so his lack of extension would be a better value argument than Covid.

I didn’t interpret your post that way. But get what you’re saying now (slightly altered to better fit how I should’ve interpreted it):

“And it just isn't enough in general. Cat won’t be moved unless he receives an overpayment on par with Eichs return.”

Similar to how most Wings fans felt about Bert last year and Larks (not Eichs value tho, just overpayment mentioning).

$4M for a 26 year old dman for three years. That's easily worth a 2nd.</div></div>

GTFO with your “for those that don’t know hockey” and your Yardbarker post from a biased PIT writer that solely is looking at some analytical data but not the big picture. I’ve played hockey (D) consecutively for 23 years, I’m not a fair weather fan who posts biased on here.

From the article “Pet saw his play dip in the 2nd half of season as well as playoffs… Pet found himself as a healthy scratch on occasion in 21-22 season.”

Plenty of Wings fans and PIT fans on here and in countless other posts have mocked and agreed upon Pet for a 3rd already. Multiple in these comments already told you it’s not happening, get off your high horse. DET says no.
