    Rempe can't really play to the level I'd like... I'd swap Burgers and a 3rd for Kreider 25% retained a 2nd.

    This team desperately needs a physical heart and soul guy that can play... I'm not sure who that would be nowadays... I'm thinking on a range between McCarty and Shanny

    That's a lot of work... nice job.

    3 weeks ago there was pressure... they crumbled... right now they have nothing to play for so the are free wheeling. Ras is a disgrace.

    Pure garbage time mirage... all they've accomplished is f%&ing our draft position even more. I hate this team so much.

    Red Wings 2024-25 Season Catch All

    mackel replied to kipwinger's topic in General

    The 4nations derailed both Larkin and Raymond... be it injuries, sulking, fatigue, whatever the were no the same afterwards. I'm not sure if any other players in that tournament fell off as hard as they did. I agree unless we can add a legit player like Marner or Ehlers... it's time to trade Larkin. We also need to change our management philosophy it's an absolute joke that Cossa and a couple more kids aren't up these last 4/5 games to get a taste of the NHL.

    Our mistake was letting Jim Nill walk. Stevie is too conservative... we've missed out because of it. When we had lots of cap he failed to weaponize it first picks. That just the obvious.

    That sounds like a toxic franchise... they'll likely be gifted another lotto win as a consequence.

    2025 Trades, TDL and Beyond

    mackel replied to LeftWinger's topic in General

    I know offersheets are likely too bold for Yzerman but I would definitely be in there for Hughes or Dobson. That would free up D prospects for trade.

    2025 Trades, TDL and Beyond

    mackel replied to LeftWinger's topic in General

    There are some interesting RFAs this year, especially on D. I wish SY would go wild and sign Luke Hughes or Noah Dobson to an offer sheet. But conservative hockey wisdom says then someone might offer sheet Ed, which might happen anyway.

    Wildcard Race, Detroit vs. Everybody (literally)

    mackel replied to LeftWinger's topic in General

    He's so conservative and risk adverse it's hurting us. 2 guys he passed on that Ottawa took on won the game the other night... Cozens and Ullmark

    That's a question the gutless Detroit sports media should ask... but they're too scared to lose access to a forever. 500 team.

    We're so fukced no playoffs, no lotto pick, no superstar, cap space tied up in garbage.
  15. mackel
    But why? What's the point of that trade? Mrazek has another year at 4.25... we just got rid of Husso's contract. Smith is 35 and a pending UFA.

    A buddy of mine was in Europe and caught yesterday's Skelleftea game. He said ASP was everywhere looked ready now.. but MBN wasn't noticeable at all. Take that for what it's worth.

    Ken would trade our 1st to get Walman back and have that pick be a multiple veznia trophy winner.
  18. mackel
    Horrible asset management... a move that NEVER made sense. Also, we're cooked. Injuries are starting to mount and so are the losses. Looks like a mini-sell... there's always next year. FML

    Yea probably makes us a seller? It would be great to make a quality long-term add.

    Tyler Tiffoli maybe... the contract is kinda ugly but I love the player.

    That isn’t incorrect... but that's ok. We're sorry you elected a dink that's selling out every working person in America to line his pockets.
