CYA!
Let's go Wed Rings ๐ โช๏ธ
I hope all of them walk. There's too much talent elsewhere and we have lots of money
…and then the Red Wings resigned…(fill in name) They still might resign Chaison or Suter. The rumor is that Suter was almost traded at the last trade deadline. So he probably won't be back. Chiason looked really good on the power play. What team needs help on the power play?
Hi Legorocks, big fan of your content and interpretations of hockey news. My fiancรฉ is a Canucks fan and I'm a Wings fan, so hearing news from you is always a pleasure especially since I don't see a lot of other people reporting on your sources. Would love to hear your thoughts on Amadeus Lombardi's season in the OHL and maybe where OEL is going now that Vancouver's bought him out? Even if not, good video and always a fan to watch ๐
tbh I think we should sign Ned. He is better than people are giving him credit for, he only got the worst matchups this year, either a back to back game or against fuckin Tampa or Boston it seemed for the whole year.
Stevie Y setting up for a monster deal! LGRW
There's not much to say about this, really. Suter's a good PK guy that will be missed in the short term, but we've got reinforcements inbound. Ned "not working out" is a shame, and I do think he'll bounce back if he signs elsewhere, but the rest aren't really "above replacement" / not needed in our particular system – Hagg, Oesterle and Pysyk for instance, we'd rather be giving Edvinsson, Wallinder, and Johansson exposure at the NHL level than have them sitting as 7th D.
If we dont resign are Free Agents, that just means the prospects will probably be coming in maybe, Mazar, Cross, Johansson, Solderblom, Lombardi, Kasper, Wallinder, not to worried, if thats the case
Would have liked to see what Alex Chiasson could've done with a full season in Detroit but I'm completely Confident that Stevie Y Will go out and find BETTER players this offseason with that 30 Mil in Cap Space. Love seeing the roster turn over; if we aren't winning, better make changes and find people who can COMPETE. Would Love to See Patrick Kane suit up for the wings or Vladimir Tarasenko; wings need some veteran scoring forwards this year above all else. When Stevie Y signed David Perron you could tell that a player like Perron was a difference maker on the ice, keeping plays alive and protecting the puck, manning the half wall on the power play. SIGN MORE VETERAN DIFFERENCE MAKERS LIKE PERRON! Go Wings
you think the Wings are saving money to get Karlsson, Great veteran leadership, i dunno, maybe? @Twisted Wrister Hockey had a good take on it. Thought maybe you have thoughts on something like that. Love your channel.
None of these players are a long term fit or solution for the Wings. Sad to see Suter potentially leave as I would have liked him to be on the team one more season. I also hope Nedeljkovic finds a good team to play for as well… I always preferred him over Hellberg even with last years struggles.
