Steve Yzerman spoke to the media about free agency on the 4th of July, after signing free agent Vladimir Tarasenko to a 2-year deal. He addresses many things, including interest in a big fish free agent, surprise at term handed to ‘role players’ and how he worked to balance the roster. Also, Joe Veleno filed for arbitration. #LGRW

Joe Veleno sucks
I like Veleno but I’d prefer to see him go if it means opening a spot for Danielson
Veleno is like a bad Darrin Helm. Has some speed but turns good scoring chances into missed opportunities. Now, he may even be compared to Filip Zadina.
Its fine if veleno signs or goes, can we just please. For the love of god. Stop giving prospects and roster players away for free. Thats a first round pick. we can't let jake walman a first and a second round pick go for nothing…. right 😂
Joe Veleno has the work ethic to stay on this team. Some blossom late. This coyld be a breakout year for him on the 4th line with a fresh face or two to make plays with.
Joe is very average
Veleno would fit nicely on Chicagos top 6. Bedard would fit nicely in our middle 6. Yzerman is in the habit of giving quality talent away for free so a trade for Bedard isn’t out of the question.
I think Veleno is a late bloomer. Give him 2 more seasons to become the 2nd/3rd line center/winger he should be. A gritty 2/3 guy is what we need. Not giving up on him, but his time is running thin. Wasn't he considered 'exceptional' in his youth?!
Holl for Trouba. NYR pays $2.5 million of Trouba's contract, then buys out Holl. ASP plays in Sweden this year, Griffins next year, and Red Wings in 2 years when Trouba's contract expires.
Berggren, Johansson, 2025 1st for Necas. Sign Necas for 5 years, $5-$6 million. Hoping 1st round pick given is 25th or later.
Trade Maatta & Husso for as much as you can get.
Tarasenko – Larkin – Raymond
DeBrincat – Necas – Kane
Rasmussen – Copp – Compher
Motte – Veleno – Fischer
Chiarot – Seider
Edvinsson – Trouba
Gustafsson – Petry
Talbot
Lyon
I bet you guys are hoping Fan Duel is buying Bally Sports. I heard rumor that after baseball season this is happening. Glad you guys are here to break down contacts because I get lost in hockey free agency.
Since wings are not ready to challenge for the cup, getting some of the kids into the lineup is necessary. Wish it was done last season, instead, some questionable signings were made.
I want Veleno gone. Haven’t been impressed by anything he’s done in his Wings career so far.
Another good show gents, here's a conversation topic. Given Stevie Y has now been GM for 5yrs now, what are your top 5 things that he's done as GM?
I would buyout Copp cus we have Kasper and Danielson and the buyout actually isn't that bad
Hopefully Veleno leaves, thats the last Holland pick left. Time to close that chapter. Safe to say Hollands last draft in Detroit was an unmitigated disaster. Zadina an Veleno in the first round and both are total busts. 😅
seeing that veleno and berggren drafted at the 2018 draft by ken spend holland no wonder berggys upset he still stuck in the minors?! 🤷♂️😫🫤🤔👍
