Waived: [DET] G Ville Husso waived by the Red Wings (cleared)

Wow. That is a terrible take. Watch more than highlights. Binnington has been the bright spot on the team for the past two season. Easily the reason we didn’t pick in the top 5 for the past two years.

I watch more than highlights. My point still stands.

This is all great but I don’t see how it changes the end result that he ended up with a shitty contract.

what are gms supposed to be able to predict the future and know if players will get injured , or perform as well in a different system and with different player talents ? your talking non sense , EVERY GM SINCE DAY ONE ENDS UP WITH BAD CONTRACTS . and many times gms are forced to give out a bad contract because its the best option avaliable to them to improve team . you think you know what your talking about but you dont

As a at-times-supercritical Blues fan, especially when it came to the unpopular opinion of being down on Husso at the time, I feel like this:

NSFW But Funny AF

Blown out of the water? Benning made several good moves as a GM, his trade for JT trump's any trade Stevie made. Drafting is similar between the two with Benning ahead since his picks were part of a core that won the pacific but things could change.

You also left out a bunch of other pieces like Garland an a bunch of contract dumps and retention.

You purposely being misleading hardly blew anything out of the water, except maybe some credibility lol

Drafting is the same?

Juolevi and Virtanen…

We in Red Wings never draft Finns. Only Russians and Swedes.

Man this guy had one fluke season and really cashed out. Husso owes Berube

 

[Puckluck]

Husso had a shutout in his AHL debut. That will be good for his confidence going forward.

No Finnish forwards or goalies anyway. They have drafted four Finnish defensemen in recent years but none of the four have reached the NHL club to this point.

Valtteri Filppula played the 7th most games in NHL history for a player from Finland and was drafted by the Wings. They don't draft a ton over the years, that seems to have more to do with how the board is aligning at times though.

Yes, that's what seperates the good GMs from the bad GMs. Bad GMs sign bad contracts based on poor assessments of their team and of the player in question.

It's simply not true that every GM ends up with bad contracts.

 

[Fist of Fury]

Now he can focus on PRONSTARS full time.

Until the Golden Knights joined the league, no team had drafted as few Finns as the red wings. Not on average, all time.
