Detroit Red Wings 23/24 season thread

isn't that what they did with hedman in the beginning though....

No it isn't "what they did with Hedman" RFA deals were different when Hedman signed out of his ELC compared to now. He played 20 mins a night at 19, 21 mins a night at 20, and 23 mins a night at 21.

Players didn't sign 8+ million dollar deals coming out of ELC in 2012.

So... after the recent win streak, the Wings have the second most points in the division behind Boston and have the 7th best goal differential in the league.

Not bad after the lame showings in Sweden.

 

[Frk It]

Exactly, The guy played 24:33 against Boston the game prior and nearly 30 mins against Ottawa in Sweden. I can't say why he wasn't utilized more, he could have been - he could've had those 3 penalties and gotten 18-19 mins.



If you really want to look in depth nhl.com has ice time breakdowns for every shift of every game in the box score section

He’s played under 23 min more often than not, and more often than should be the case so far IMO.

I'm sure Tampa would have loved to have Hedman be Hedman 3-4 years earlier. He also came over at 18 and not 20.

SJS LOLOLOLOLOL. I hope Zadina is enjoying himself.

What does this have to do with Zadina?

Look in the lower left hand corner of the chart is what I'm guessing.

About the same part of the chart that GR would be....

 

[Gniwder]

Because he's on the team (IR)? LOL.

You can't rejuvenate your career playing for a team that bad, he would've been better off in Detroit/GR. I'm sure he would have played at least as many games as Czarnik did.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I mean, he's at least getting 14 minutes a night with the Sharks. He likely wouldn't even be on the Wings roster.

Though this is probably his last year in the NHL (unless Holland is GM somewhere next season).

Sharks have played 21 games and have a -55 goal differential. ouch.

Sounds like they deserve the 6th overall pick... ahem.... Mr Bettman

Wings currently have 22 on the roster bud. Zadina would have played in lieu of Czarnik (by shifting Copp or Raz to center), and he'd be the extra forward right now.

Pretty sure Czarnik got sent down because GR needs him, and because the 7D scheme seems to be working if a forward does get hurt.

Interesting that he's also coming up with the Kane signing. Trade coming?

Yeah, seems weird to fill out the roster, when you are about to add another player.

 

[Ricelund]

That is odd. Maybe something cap related?

Trade is coming, too many players, 3 goaltenders.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Reimer to the Oilers... try and swindle Kenny for something.

This was the first post I saw this morning and was like WTF are you talking about???

Gotta make a hole for Kane's conditioning stint...

 

[redwings8831]

Larkin might be out tomorrow.

 

[RRhoads]

Need to send one back for that, because the roster has 23 players right now, and Kane will count against that limit on conditioning stint

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Ooof no Larkin against Rangers could be tough.

 

[norrisnick]

Larkin might be out tomorrow.

Did Kahn not watch the last couple games? Compher was already on PP1. It's DBC on PP1 that might indicate Larkin is out.
