Ever hear the phrase “I wouldn’t wish that upon my worst enemy”?…

I wish eternal failure upon the Red Wings

Blashill probably would’ve been brought back for at least another year but then the Wings had that absolutely EPIC collapse down the stretch.

Groulx finally going to get his shot… or Carle… either or the wings are getting a great coach.

I could actually see Yzerman go off the board and bring in a Swedish European coach, there are a handful who would be very good NHL coaches.

That's pretty hard to watch

Very very hard to watch that.

 

[Gatorbait19]

Sure it’s the playoffs and anything can happen, but these seem like bet-your-house odds on the lightning to win this series.

Also, think Scheifele is gonzo. Could be the answer to the soon to be 2C issue. Its going cost.

 

[Pokecheque]

Wait, what?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Wait, what?

Maybe Adam wants a fresh start somewhere else. I would gladly welcome him here.

 

[Metallo]

Quick, which game should I watch tonite?

Here's a free, insurance paid, 7M cap hit to help with the cap floor.

Yotes are bigger cheaters with the cap than Vegas. Change my mind

You're cheating your fanbase and the spirit of the cap floor.

Both true, but it's one fewer team for us to compete against in the Central so *shrug*

I don’t see the problem with weaponizing cap space if the intention is to tank, so long as you get something good out of it. In a hard cap system with guaranteed salaries, there kinda has to be this sort of outlet.

The problem with the way Chayka did it is that he kept on doing it while at the same time orchestrating like twenty other trades and it screwed up his cap situation.
