Let’s have a nice calm, optimistic day everyone.
Looks like FA will be a bit more exciting than originally expected. Still hoping we can make a play for debrincat, this team needs so bonafide offense.
“He understands that a lot of nights, if you play 19 or 20 minutes, nothing is going on for 19 minutes, 59 seconds, and it’s that one second where he makes it count,” Larkin said on Zetterberg
I believe that’s just a team philosophy, to do the right thing and play the right way 100% of the time knowing that it’ll pay dividends in the end. No short cuts type shit.
Hence why we landed on Danielson.
I’m a lot shocked by how deep we drafted on D. But I’m so pumped for that Cleveland kid!
Yesterday was one of the least unified days this sub has had in the Yzerman era. I get it everyone has their own vision and expectations. I hope free agency can bring us back together because at the end of the day we all want the same thing. Stevie, front office, scouts, players, coaches, fans. We all want that Cup. So let’s see what Stevie is cooking to keep getting us closer to that.
Today and tomorrow should be fun. There’s usually some leaks of who is interested in what free agent, and I expect a couple deals today by teams looking to free cap space.
Despite our desperation to start winning, there’s nothing wrong with leveraging cap and getting picks/future assets. Unlike the nfl, we don’t get rewarded for unused cap space. Might as well turn it into something.
Any chance we sign Bert??
Wow that Reinbacher stuff is just sad. The kid has worked his ass off to be where he is and people are attacking him because of where he was picked. That org doesn’t deserve him.
I’m feeling great about our first two picks something about Axel Sandin Pellikka screams superstar to me.
I feel like there is large contingent of the fan base that would like to sell the future for this year similar to what we’re digging out of. I think it sounds like Dorian wanted a first and second for DeBrincat so he could salvage his purchase of him. The kid is from Detroit and wants to play in Detroit. Let him sign here as a free agent next year if he wants to come home and take the better pic and the player. This team is nowhere near competing for a cup. If they were to sell enough assets to compete for a cup, it’d be a couple year deal and right back to mediocrity for the long term because there would be no higher round picks coming up through the system. I am absolutely fine with not trading high round draft picks at this point for anybody.
As far as picking Danielson at 9, people thought Larkin at 15 was a reach. People were furious about Mo. I know I was. There was a lot of angst about Ras. I was also furious about Zadina. The moral of drafting and waiting is that some kids turn into what you hope they’ll be. Some kids turn into what you fear they’ll become. I think we need to take a step back from the ledge and give him a couple years. The likelihood of the wings getting a guy who was going to be in impact player next year at 9th was not good. Danielson sounds like he may be a fantastic pick in the long run.
Dear Steve,
Cat please.
Yours Truly.
Oh man, Yzerman drafted differently than the media and “mY oWn ReSeArCh” told us he should draft. Let’s all start to panic. 😂🤣

I am trying to remain positive, but damn… it feels like we haven’t competed in eons.
Also, does anyone else feel like Bert will land in Pittsburgh? Do they have the cap to accommodate him? Or maybe he’ll settle for less to play with Crosby.
We have to see some deals that ship out some of this middle 6 forward log jam…. Right?
Adding Kostin and Yams only further adds to an already crowed room
I know Yamamoto might get bought out but I’m also intrigued about his fit because he’s a right shot and plays with an edge at his size
Might be my last day on the sub for a while. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for being such a great community. We have our disagreements, but we learn a lot from each other. Both as people and as hockey fans. Despite the fact that my experience with reddit is going to change pretty extensively tomorrow when my mobile app ceases to function, I’ll still appreciate how great the sub has always been.
Have enjoyed it since I first joined Reddit 10 or 11 years ago. The DMac AMA still sticks in my mind as an epic moment of Red Wings redditdom. And more recently, the return of Stevie Y.
Despite deleting my old account and thinking I was done with Reddit, of course I came back 6 or 7 years ago and it’s been fun to see how this sub has grown. Hopefully it continues on here or in some form cuz there’s a lot of great that happens.
You’ve all heard over the years what the hockey team means to me and my relationship with my father and family. I know many of you have similar experiences. But it also means a lot to me to get to know so many of you and learn a lot from each of you about the team, about the world, about you, about myself.
No idea what happens with reddit next. In a lot of ways it probably doesn’t change that much for many folks. Since my experience is almost exclusively through third party mobile app that’s shutting down, it’ll change a lot for me. I’ll be around in one form or another over time, but I’m looking forward to stepping away for a little while. Maybe a week. Maybe the summer. Maybe just the off season. But this time I’m not going to delete my account…
Its especially funny how everyone is calling for that 40 goal scorer in here when we just witnessed all those teams, Toronto, Devils, Oilers get pummeled in the playoffs. 0 goals is not the answer but 500 aint it either
I hope i run into yzerman somewhere so i can just ask him, why so many D?
I have a lot of trust in Stevie, but this draft made me concerned that he’s changed because he went up there and said all the congrats/thank you’s before the first rounders. He’s never done that and always seems to draft a guy in less than 10 words
A Cat trade would be pretty cool right about now
Offersheet the cat. Ottawa has 8 roster spots to fill with 17 mil cap space. They fill that tomorrow. Cat is worth a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick off a playoff team.
