24/25 Waivers/Rumors/TDL Thread.

A 26 year old, first line center in his prime that has hit 100 points and been top 7 in selke voting before. For context, its been almost 30 years since the wings had a 100 point player and its a number Datsyuk or Zetterberg never reached.

How do you not see it?

He got selke votes for 1 reason only, he plays on a Canadian team. McDrai also get Selke votes, something Larkin has never gotten eventhough he is better than both by a lot in his own end. Canadian Media members also hand out Selke votes like candy to any really good performing player on a Canadian team.

If he played for Columbus or something he would have never gotten a single Selke vote. As is, he only has two seasons with Selke noms, which I think further proves he isn't a Selke level player.

Edit - He had a 100 pt season, then immediately down to 89 and this year on pace for less than 80.

I rather have Elias Pettersson. He's young, and idk if the best has come out of him yet.

Miller wouldn't be bad for the rumored cost but not a guy I want.

Seems like Yzerman's talking. The article made it seem like there was a legit offer made and that was the "rumored" offer posted. I'm happy Yzerman is out talking, looking for a upgrade, a significant one. If a deal isn't there to me bad, so be it. It's two teams now with rumored trade connections to the Red Wings.

Hopefully these convo's just lead into a Pettersson deal that everyone can stomach.
