Is this the big splash Red Wings fans were waiting for? #redwings #nhl #hockey

  1. look at the term of the contracts still on the books. they are very deliberate. this signing is brilliant but 97.1 will still poo poo it because they didnt trade edvinson for markstrom or sign 34 year old tanev to a 6 year deal. look at the contracts and its clear as day what year is go time. we are entering our playoff window, 2 years from now will start the cup window. mike, if he even bothers addressing this, will still complain its not a big enough splash

  2. Tarsenko skates better than Peron and without the dunb fuck penalities….not to mention pair him with Kane on the other side….its a solid move not splashy or anything to get the fan base to calm the f down but Its an upgrade from Peron amd the contract is not bat shit crazy….like a few others that Steve has done .

  3. Tarasenko is better than Perron, the only reason his stats were worse than Perron’s was because he was on a bad Senators team most of the year.

  4. This is why Mike is so good on the radio. They talk about tarensenko for all of 6 min and then Stoney starts yapping about random bs

  5. I actually really like the Red Wings offseason so far. Getting Kane back, zero dumb contracts. And a good trade or two will definitely help complete it. 97.1 is acting like the Wings made the ECF last year. Not to mention 80% of the teams who spent big in FA are going to regret those contracts in two years.

  6. Small short contracts dont mean playoffs in a year or 2. This team will be dismantled every year almost. Hoping guys on the griffins will turn out to be something is a long shot. Stevie y is just buying time for his own legacy

  7. Look at the roster 5 years ago and show me the path to being a cup contender now, until then keep shouting to the clouds how it doesn’t take this long

  8. We have no forwards that are good at playing defensive hockey.. teams are literally going to destroy us lol. This is embarassing.

  9. Unfortunately you didn't get Steve Stamkos 😕 sure Steve (GM) would love to have Stammer …would look fantastic in Red Wings uniform …went to Nashville 🏒 😢 🦅

  10. Stony is getting old, it shows on his reaction to Tarasenko and Recco looked lost when talking about the RedWings. Time to retire these old farts and time for new blood. I hate to say this but I missed Valenti today

  11. That was the best signing and term possible for any near point per game player available in F.a.He's a major upgrade over
    Perron, when healthy, and if he gets injured it gives them an excuse to bring up players like Kasper, plus he's a puck driver and strong on his skates, 2 things they are sorely missing, not to mention He's played in every system imaginable and proved he can adapt and contribute to a winning team. You can't improve this team for the long term with F.A. signings with bloated and bad contracts.
