Steve Yzerman went out and spent in the offseason, and the Red Wings are benefitting from it. They are firmly in a playoff spot and a much more talented roster. Combine that with how good GR is this year, and it has been a great year for the front office. The coaching staff, with all the added talent, had to see improvement this year, and even with a difficult December, the Detroit Red Wings are exactly where we were expecting them to be. And thats a good thing. #lgrw

Lalonde Building Back Better.
He's Making Red Wings Great Again

That’s it Scotty!! 😎

Great
Again

The Griffins were terrible when Ben Simon was the head coach, really sucks when your a rebuilding team and your AHL team is garbage for like 4 years in a row

if it wasn’t they’d be no better then Ottawa right now?! instead there tied for a 3rd place finish in The Atlantic division for a wild card!🤷♂️🤪🤔👍
Agree with these evaluations. Yzerman put the right team together for this year for the most part. Lalonde's job was to take these pieces and slot into the system. He had a few bumps in December finding where to slot in Kane and with injuries to Lyon, Husso and Larkin… huge credit to Lyon because without him the system struggles and has now found its footing to be competitive most nights.
Currently it’s working, I think Lyon is the biggest reason for that though. I’m nervous about the remainder of the season. Sometimes I think Derek is a bone head who doesn’t know what words mean. Other times, he’s okay.
Is Scotty saying that since the Griffins have climbed up to 3rd place in their division of the AHL that Yzerman exceeded expectations in drafting over the last 5 years?
Here are the Wings top three picks since he became GM.
2019 – Moritz Seider, Antti Tuomisto, Robert Mastrosimone
2020 – Lucas Raymond, William Wallinder. Theodor Niederbach
2021 – Simon Edvinsson, Sebastian Cossa, Shai Buium
2022 – Marco Kasper, Dylan James, Dmitri Buchelnikov
2023 – Nate Danielson, Axel Sandin Pellikka, Trey Auguustine
Should Yzerman be evaluated based on how many draft picks are contributing at the NHL level not who is still playing in the minors on a average team?
Here's a system. Go out and have fun. Even tho its worth billions. Its still a game. Go out and play for the thrill and just be lucky you make $500k-15mill and pound the hottest broads on the planet
Hockey withdrawal is real
