Detroit Redwings Downfall

I think you and @FriendlyGhost92 need this reminder:

You can tout the genius of Steve Yzerman when his team isn't a near-perpetual bottom ten club. That day is not today and no amount of coping in this thread can fix that, so sorry. See you back here in 2027 with what I assume will be a boat load of fresh new excuses.

Now do 2019 and the U25 crop of players then and now...

It will be six years as of April unless you think he's being fired before then... which is not likely if the org views him with the same red-tinted glasses his fans here do.

In that time, do you think any of Antti Tuomisto, Robert Mastrosimone, Albert Johansson, William Wallinder, Theodor Niederbach or Cross Hanas suddenly become NHL difference makers? Oh, and never mind that's just his first two years of throwing non-top ten picks into a wood chipper. Stevie is giving Ken Holland a run for his money with that kind of drafting, and I don't mean that in a nice way.

What drafting are you talking about? The zadina's, Anthanisiu's and manthas or the seiders, Raymond's and Kaspers?

The biggest difference between the two gms is Steve won't be paying out the contracts old Kenny does, see abdelkador and nurse as examples.

Stevie Y no longer has to pay out the Walman contract, took care of that by sending a second round pick with it.

Which apparently are worthless as picks anyway, so it cost nothing.
