2024 2025 Tank Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

3C’s that play a heavy game. Don’t mind getting one of them. Although if Kindel is available I’d probably go with him first before the above.
 
If picking 12-13, better off keeping the pick.

Tons of Cs in the draft.

There not going to be anyone available that make a difference even if you trade it.

At best, you might get a 3C with upside.

So might as well draft someone who could be a legit Top 6 C.

You are asking me hypothetically if we have a high pick who would hypothetically be available?
Do you want the lottery numbers too while we are at it?
lol so hostile. I just don't see anyone they bring in that much of game changer. I'll take those lottery numbers tho lmao. I was asking who you think they would target. My bad.

I mean it’s one of those pointless questions. Like how the f*** would I or anyone know who would shake free? Any names I throw out of my ass will inevitably end up in a stupid convo that takes on 2 direction, no way that player is available for that cheap or why the f*** would we target that kind of player with such a high picks.

The point was no matter who the player is it’s not gonna make a difference. I don’t actually give a shit who you think they target

Not a shred.

Like he'd get signed if he was a UFA this offseason but not a single team is paying us to nab him, no.

Is Cam Talbot and 2.5m cap savings poeitive value, cause MAYBE that.

Itd be very detroit to "solve" their goaltending with Mrazek and Demko and neither plays 20 games though.

Would you give up value, as say Carolina, for Demmer?

I still consider Demko a top 5 goalie when healthy. It appeared that he recovered from the pop injury. I can't see him out much longer with a groin injury. With a contract through 2026 at just 5 mil, plenty of teams would be willing to take a chance on him returning to full health and providing elite goaltending.

I think so too, but Demko needs to learn there are some saves he *shouldn't* be making, even though he can.

Yeah, he's one of the most competitive on the team so even he knows thats impossible when hes playing. He's cautious, probably keeping himself out of the lineup until he's 110%.

I gotta consider how atrocious our D was with all the odd man rushes, breakaways and backdoor plays, forcing our goalies to make multiple ridiculous desperation saves per game... that Lanks' health has held up.
 
Demko means everything to this team but he is pretty much toast sorry people I know it hurts and a year away from UFA I genuinely feel so terrible for the guy but it is what it is.

Thats the shelf life of a pro athlete. Thats why they take every penny they can, for as long as they can.

Hero vezina finalist today, popletits, back, groin tomorrow.

From a Shesty contract in 16 months to whatever the modern day Ben Bishop deal will be tomorrow.

I had Detroit pegged as the one place maybe theyd gamble and thought there was some Demko ties somehow to the area.. then they just grabbed Petr Mrazek who is also capable of missing entire seasons so thats gone.

When I say not a shred of value, I guess I dont mean literally but whatever Frederik Anderson's value is, or John Gibson's value, which is pretty much zilch.
