Steve Yzerman spoke to the media before heading to the draft in Las Vegas, and for some reason it got everyone in a fervor online. We got ‘updates’ on contract discussions with Raymond, Kane and Seider. We also learned Detroit’s probable plans for pick 15 and the goalie room. But none of it was worth burning the house down over. #LGRW

Yzerman took a pay cut to get Brett Hull on the team. He's looking for the same dedication from the current players, right or wrong. If a player is holding out for a big payday for years before proving they have years of consistency, like Raymond and Seider, there's a good chance one of both could be gone. If they want money more than success then goodbye.
It feels like next year will be another wasted year. Unless they get really aggressive by getting rid of bad contracts and getting Raymond and Seider at really good numbers on bridge deals they won't have the cap space to drastically improve the team. Need a couple buyouts and a couple big trades and big free agent signings. But it sounds like Yzerman isn't going to do any of that.
Raymond and seider will resign for around 8 and 8.
I think you guys missed the most significant thing that was talked about. He mentioned we have 9 people that will be in his ideal age range in a "couple" of years (I read in 2-3) for the contention window. Pelika was one of them, meaning he's going to be up during that timeframe. No suprise Jonatan wasn't part of it. So that means he's looking for a LHD and two high level wingers that will that are all young, and then basically having veteran fillers around them. I doubt he thinks he can fill those three roles from people in this draft or the next. That comment seemed really big to me, because it points to trades for young top line guys and 2-3 years of not really making hard roster pushes to speed up the timeline.
kane should go to a "playoff" team. he's old. would rather see a Griffin graduate. imo
Seiders point totals are not that bad, it took Hedman 4 seasons to get over 40 points
