Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 24” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

  1. Idk man I think that article is quite dramatic. We have a better balanced team and also our young players who perform great last season will get even better. So I would say we will be a fringe playoffs team again or maybe finally making it. Still have years to go with making deep runs

  2. Chariot is actually a pretty good dude to have around, he stands up for his teammates on a team notorious for lack luster aggression. He gets undeserved criticism.

  3. Feels about right to me. Chiarot improved, but still not close the earning his pay. Copp is such a solid player, but doesn’t score nearly enough to command those dollars. Signing Holl was a mistake, but RHD are expensive. All that aside, as was noted: these are short term deals. In two years, consider how many prospects will be core players and how much cap space DET will have. Many teams in the east are getting older, so DET could be poised to open a lengthy window to contend starting as the contracts expire. They could take a step back next year in terms of points, but DET looks formidable for the long term.

  4. I’d expect Detroit to see some regression next year, that’s just a part of bringing in younger players. They will be a playoff team in 2-3 years, when cossa takes the reins and enters the league.

  5. It is like you said, it doesn’t matter. Crappy teams are going to over pay here and there. By the time we’re more competitive those bad contracts will be over.

  6. I think improvement will need to come from the young players. At least some roster spots are open. I would say it’s a 50/50 to improve from last year. But some young players may get some nhl time which is quite needed

  7. Theres a very real possibility they dont improve and miss the playoffs again, which would be a make or break outcome for the Yzersham.

    Also, lego man, you're sticking by that gibberish outro, huh

  8. no center depth. Larkin goes down, and teams WILL target him and Detroit is closer to a lottery team than a playoff team. The "youth movement" is only starting because Edvinsson is just too damn good and they would lose Berggren and Johansson if they don't at least let them try to be on the team. Yzerman did what he always does, sign mediocre free agents to help this team tread water. If Kasper or Danielson don't at least get close to where Larkin is, then this rebuild will be a failure.
