Longer term would be higher and shorter would be lower but Id take both at 8x8.5 all day. On 8/29/2024 at 6:26 PM, Motor City Mullets said: I'll $hit my pants if either makes more $$$ aav than Larkin (especially Raymond) with this upcoming contract...That said I could see both making more after a 3 year bridge and signing long term for a higher aav. Either way both will be in camp in a few weeks. I agree just hope both get locked up longterm rather than bridge. 2 Rick D and Motor City Mullets reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zadina was a highly coveted F. The first two players taken were considered better. Kotkaniemi and Hayton were taken over him because Montreal and Phoenix wanted centers, not because they thought he was a bust. Ottawa was arguably the only team that maybe you could say that. Vancouver would have taken Zadina if Holland had not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He talked all off season (IIRC) that he wanted to go big on D (get your mind out of the gutter!) at the draft. But, if it was BPA, then so be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yzerplan needs an oil change, it's starting to get sludgy. Speaking of oil... bowman literally got upcoming UFA draisatl done, on a massive deal, b4 scam could get ANY of his RFAs done. WTF man? It's been a hilariously bad past year for SY. Buying out Yammoto for Kostin. Then giving Kostin away for nothing. Then giving up Fabbri for nothing. Then giving up Walman for nothing. And giving up a 2nd with Walman for nothing. And giving up Gibson to get that 2nd. And not helping your team at the TDL. And missing the playoffs bc you didnt help them at the TDL. Losing assets and missing the playoffs... bold strategy, I like it (AAAAAAAAAA TAKE ME WITH YOU JOHNNY! RIP) Don't need to start the season with Seider, Ray, or johhny bergs anyway boys, because we got a 36 year old PATRICK I'LL DEFINATELY NEVER EVER SLOW DOWN MAFUQQIN KANE WOOOOOOOOOO. IF MO AND RAY WONT SIGN JUST KEEP HUSSO AND HOLL WOOOOOOOO. I DON'T CARE IF THE ROSTER IS A PROBLEM, OR WHO I HURT, I FEEL AWESOME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,023 Report post Posted September 4 I just wish we knew what the hell was going on. In the UFA world, obviously we don't know if he approached a bunch and they just didn't want to come here. I'll go back to last summer, when Chicago did not qualify Strome. Did Yzerman contact his agent? Did he not want to come here? Was $5M too much? I'd say 67 points on an equally bad Washington team and being a legit 2nd line center for us, and young, would've been worth $5M. But we don't know if he wanted to be a Red Wing or not. So, the UFA game is tough, even if we could've afforded certain players, but trades are simpler (as long as there is no NTC/NMC.) A few deals went down that Yzerman easily could've matched or bettered, along with making the team better, or freeing up much needed cap space and roster spots. Giving those players away for free basically is unacceptable. Just because they got in the doghouse somehow, doesn't mean there is no value. Gibson just signed in April and he was traded in June. That's not good business. Fabbri deal was ok considering he was freeing up cap space and a roster spot, which is what he needs to do more of. Husso needs to go, Holl needs to go, there are teams out there that need a G and a RHD, we're not one of them, make room to sign your future. Make your D better via trade! Nothing is worse than a GM who refuses to right their wrongs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
