Husso, Reimer, and Berggren
I am not convinced that Elvis should leave the building.
Husso needs to go. He is terrible
Scoreboard watching: Edmonton came back to win its 11th in a row and beat Toronto. Washington and the Rangers won, but Winnipeg beat the Islanders.
Detroit Red Wings: Where goalies are hung out to dry. No new goalies until the defense is fixed.
As long as we don’t trade away Cossa or Augustine, I’m down for Elvis.
We are starting to beat teams like the Leafs, Boston and Tampa but always have a lot of difficulty with Florida. Let's change that boys.
I think we should all pitch in and buy Brian a new chair. It looks like it is getting a little ragged.
I’d rather have Gibson if the Wings are gonna trade for a goalie. Another defensemen is a bigger need at the moment though.
Smells like burning leaves 🍁…
I think with Kane out, you have to move Cat back with Larkin and Raymond. That line was on fire early. Also, the add is Tanev or Hanafin, not another goalie.
6-3-1 minimum over the next 10 or we are sellers
This is a hard one to decide, given the Wings' current goaltending from Lyon and their potential future talent in Augustine and Cosa. Don't like the 3 years left on the contract at $5+m/year. Contract is too long, I think. And Elvis wants to be the premier starter as well. The only way I'd make it happen is if we gave them Husso, and you can even throw in Reimer, and maybe a draft pick and an average defenseman, and that's really pushing it. Lyon is doing very well and wouldn't want to interrupt that. Wouldn't want Lyon to sit the bench for more than 1/2 the time if Elvis came over, but that wouldn't be do-able because Elvis wants the start day in and day out. Considering the current situation with Lyon, I would nix the idea having Elvis come to Detroit.
IDK about a goalie. We need another rockstar Dman. Specifically someone that, besides his talent, can KICK ASS when goons take liberties with our stars. There is way too much goonery in this league.
Leave it to Yzerman to get a great deal on this guy. Lyon and him would be a great duo.
