Detroit Redwings Downfall

[thefutures]

A downfall with year over year improvement, simple methods and numbers are confusing people.. interesting.

 

[Dotter]

I just wanted to show what you said was wrong that it looked like they were going to draft 7th overall, and your team would be drafting ahead of the Sens. Nothing more to it.

If it’s so early in the season as you say, why even bring it up

I didn't create the thread. Just pointing out that all bottom 5 Atlantic Division teams are trying to outsuck each other. That includes OTT and Sabres. Sabre fans have to come to grip, but OTT fans seem in denial. It might because they can't come to terms with old man Ullmark getting such a HUGE and overpaid contract.... all while sucking.

Pretty radical to use logical thinking around these parts.

Poll: Who has the better downfall: Taylor Hall or the Detroit Red Wings ?

taylor hall had more 1st overall picks to work with.

What Holland rebuild? He had a mandate to keep the team competitive. He did that until it was no longer possible and then traded UFAs and hoarded picks while not tying the team to any bad long term contracts.

He left Yzerman in a great position with tonnes of picks and a good, young first line center.

What exactly had Yzerman added in 6 years outside of drafting/draft picks? Debrincat?

Stevie hasn't done much to put his stamp on. The team.

A great position?

They had a 1C and nothing else of real value.

They had top prospects of…. Zadina, Veleno, Cholowski

They were also a near cap team

What the hell are you talking about? Hahah

 

[nbwingsfan]

Imo Yzerman should be after Zegras. He immediately becomes their forward with the highest ceiling.

Yes the younger player in Raymond who was drafted higher and who’s scored more is definitely a lower ceiling

They were getting outshot 7-2 by the Sharks tonight. Once again, not ready to play.

If Detroit loses this game and Yzerman doesn't fire Lalonde immediately, then he's not a serious GM.

 

[Dotter]

Kasper has a sick shot. Yzerman said after he drafted Marco Kasper he has untapped offensive upside.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Lol. They're about to lose to San Jose (who has 10 more shots than they do).

It would be a slap in the face to the fans if Lalonde is allowed to coach this team any longer.

They had a 1C, some young forwards, and a young top 4 defenseman instead of cope about how some prospect that isn't scoring much is going to transform into a top 6 forward or top 4 defenseman or hanging your only hopes on Augustine and Buchelnikov. Holland wasn't perfect but he did an above average job with what he had, you'd think Yzerman would have more hits by random chance than he does.

 

[Dotter]

you'd think Yzerman would have more hits by random chance than he does.

I mean he has 5 on the team right now playing...
Mazur is injured, but he is NHL ready, so that's 6 right there. Not including ASP, Cossa, Danielsson, and MBN.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Lol lost to the Sharks.

Gotta think the coach will be fired any hour now

 

[WarriorofTime]

Outshot 34-20 against the present day San Jose Sharks. Pretty lucky to escape with an OTL and take only a half loss versus a full loss. 0-2-1 on a California road trip against crummy teams and fall to 7-9-2 in the ninth season after last making the postseason. It's Year 5 of the GM/Year 3 of the Head Coach. But Kasper did score at least.

 

[Dotter]

Lol lost to the Sharks.

Gotta think the coach will be fired any hour now

Joel Quenneville might get his 2nd chance soon.

I mean you can go by any real metric, most will say the Wings are a bottom 5-10 team.
