Kadri shouldn't go.

Johnsson should go before Kapanen.

I’m thinking all 3 will stay. ( hoping I guess )

Wings have Larkin, Zadina, and competent management/ownership.

That’s it?

Don’t they have Anastasia or whatever the (frank) his name is? Isn’t he ok?

Gorten could've at least bought Chevy dinner after he F'd him. Chevy will be walking bow legged for a few days.

I'm trying to decide which team is worse? Sens or Red Wings? Sens have Tkachuk and Chabot. Red Wings are worse.
- gergeswillems


Don’t underestimate the importance of competent management/ownership. The Red Wings are in great hands; Stevie Y will turn things around in a hurry. Ottawa is going nowhere until they somehow remove Melnyk, and there is no end in sight to that.

My point was, they were going nowhere until Binnington saved them.
- RogerRoeper

A team is more than their goalie, ahem montreal.
A goalie can only do so much.
They have a great team.

Horrible trade.


What was the worse move:

Or


Chevy- Trouba for a wall squat, deuce and toss

Kapanen is younger and faster, Kadri is cheaper and more productive.

They definitely need help on defense and if it costs Nylander and Johnsson, so be it.

Boston had the better goalie and St. Louis still won.

By the same token, they went to the WCF despite garbage goaltending and lost to the eventual winner.

If Jones plays like he did prior to this year, they could have another shot at the Cup in the next two or three years.

And obviously, if they win, it'll be worth it.

Those are the cards they're playing.

thinking well dodged two bullets so far.... didn't make a bad trade for Maata or Trouba, and didn't get the overpaid defensive liability. Better trade options as mentioned out there though hell no to Subban. Guy is all about himself, don't need that attitude on the team, and guy is Karlsson lite and the cough ups are attrocious with him too. We just got rid of our cough up machine don't need another one to replace Gards!

I'm happy Yzerman is back. He has alot of work to do. Holland left him with a big mess to clean up. Someday the Red Wings will be relevant again.

Yup. The next two years will likely be tough sledding, but everybody in this room watched the Leafs screech autistically for a decade with no direction. When Shanny took over, and they started to suck with purpose, it became a lot more enjoyable. I suspect Red Wings fans will find the same with Yzerman.

After Silly Season is over after July 1st, Nylander's contract will look like a bargain.
- gergeswillems

Even more so after he bags 30 snipes and 50 apples this season.

Too bad the Sens won't make the playoffs, the Leafs always advance against them.
