people ignore the fact that every yzerman signing has been DURING A REBUILD ERA where he did not want to do too good because it would have taken him outta the 'lotto zone' and into a later draft position lessening the chances of hitting on draft pix while also costing important future cap space . obviously he cant say that , but its whats been best for the organization long term instead of signing better ufa to longer terms when detroit has zero chance of challenging just to try making the playoffs . instead he signed lesser players with good attitudes to help team culture , and their contracts expire once the redwings are ready to contend and cap becomes important . these people here ripping yzermans signings ARE NOT BETTER JUDGES OF HOCKEY TALENT THAN STEVE YZERMAN ! like they say 'hes playing 3d chess'

do people really think yzerman didnt realize that chariot-copp-husso-holl-etc werent excellent ???? do people really think yzerman knows that little about hockey players ???? no he knew damn well they werent excellent but he signed them to improve team n culture for now without blowing too much future cap space , like it would have taken for better players , because he needed the cap space to sign the new core guys like seider n ray and more guys in the future ! but know it alls dont realize theres no way yzerman can come out and say that about ufa he just signed . but maintain your smart ass fool attitudes n ego's like you know more about the nhl than yzerman

I'm not sure. It was a really stupid comment for me to make and I apologize for that.

This is straight up coping. NHL gm's get things wrong quite often, and deserve criticism for making boneheaded moves. Stop pretending the guy is perfect- that is what people are actually pointing fun at, and you've completely taken the bait. Yzerman isn't immune to mistakes: he's obviously made some bad moves, it is what it is.

i spelled it all out for you . and should have added the better ufa didnt want to sign on a junk team in the first place , so yzermans choices were limited . and adding imperfect ufa was better for the team today than adding nobody . but if you want to stay on your ego trip thinking you know more about the nhl than yzerman have a blast
Hoglander

My bad. Clearly everything he does is perfect, and nobody should dare question anything he does. Even if the impossible did happen, and he actually did make a mistake, it can just be explained away as people being on ego trips.
You're delusional dude

you act like he had a huge array of players to choose from and like there is no cap . like every player wanted to sign with the wings . and like all kinds of the better but not great ufa dont usually get longer term than is ideal for a team , ecspecially ufa on the edge of being beyond prime and thusly not much help when detroits young core arrives . but yzerman had to deal in those terms which left him only able to sign lesser players even though he realized they were lesser ! do you realize the staff of pro hockey players and scouts your thinking like you know better than ? redwings knew copp doesnt bring lots of offense , but they also knew hes a hustling strong two way grinder 100% commited nhler . a guy to build culture and teach kids , plus played at michigan which helps culture / team chemistry . where as all your factoring in is how many points he scores . your in over your head

This is all great but I don’t see how it changes the end result that he ended up with a shitty contract.
Right or wrong I blame that entire 06 playoff loss to EDM on Legace.
His playoff stats in like every league were BRUTAL
Not sure why you’re arguing this.
In 21/22 Husso was undoubtedly the better goalie of the two.

Looking at it now in hindsight it was clearly a mistake. But not that big of a deal, and not something that kills their future with Cossa who looks like a beast.
At worst, this cost a multi billionaire owner chump change for a risk that didn't pan out. It hasn't hurt Yzerman's ego or reputation in the slightest.

And then what happened?
Husso blew it in the playoffs, Binnington went in and they looked like contenders, got hurt, and Husso blew it again

His plan is alive and well in various development leagues around the world. He's just killing time til the kids are ready. I know it seems to bug people for whatever reason, but Yzerman likely has the safest job in the league. He doesn't have to rush anything, so he's not rushing anything. Without lottery luck or top shelf players demanding to play for your franchise, there really aren't any short cuts. Draft and develop. He has drafted and is developing.
