Hey I'm all in to bringing him back. With him our top 6 is good for another season and have better odds to get into the playoffs. We don't need to add any long term contracts...look at our roster, most are already locked in and ready to roll. Detroit is also under the gun to make the playoffs and needs to add to a weak top 6.
These people don't make decisions.
The website is Hockey's Future and some people get caught up on dreamsies and make believe projections and draft picks more than tangible hockey things.
How are you getting him back + filling out the roster while staying under the cap?
Can promise you Steve Yzerman has the kind of job security Dorion dreams of right now with new ownership. People keep asking when Yzerman is in trouble and that is still realistically two or three years from now if we are in the same status. I don't really agree there but that is true given his roots with the family and community. As long as Marian Ilitch is alive he doesn't have to worry, Chris might lose his inheritance if he came after Stevie without her blessing.
Shipping out Brannstrom or Joseph, possibly both. Too early to consider that until later this summer though when the picture is clearer on whether or not a suitable trade is found and how much arb awards him. Not ideal situation either way but not impossible to manage either.
I think you're seeing in this thread he is a little overrated by a lot of Wings fans in my opinion. He is a sub 6' winger that has great edges and hands. He passes well, he can get caught wheeling on the exterior but has plus offensive upside. He is a middle six winger, but he shows up at the right times rebound wise in the slot and has a heavy shot. Not sure you have an exact like for like. In Detroit they have kind of turned him into a mashup of Tatar and Nyquist which you can see parts of both. Plays hard and plays with pace, has had his fair share of injuries developing which is why he took longer to get up with the Wings.
Yzerman: This is it. Take it or leave it.
So many people on so many threads with hot takes on SY and the Wings who have zero understadning of the background in Detroit.
At this point, quite possibly the better outcome for the Sens too!
We can move brannstrom or joseph. You are also allowed to be 10% over the cap before the season starts... lots of possibilities...
Price isn't determined by the value of the asset, it's determined by the next highest bid. If Detroit is the only team he's willing to sign with, then they're bidding against teams looking to take him on as a rental and the price will reflect that.
Yup, and most of us expect that we will be lucky to find an interested team who he is willing to sign with. He signed a deal 3yrs who to set himself up perfectly for UFA, it’s a win if we can avoid that.
