Detroit Redwings Downfall

[Geezer WC]

and if yzerman would have spent more future cap on better ufa the team would have gotten into playoffs past few years to do nothing . lessening his draft spot and future cap space , all at the cost of future success . but many fans are too dense to figure that out and choose to get their kicks by yzer'bashing . too dense to figure out that more expensive ufa signings would have created a problem when signing sides n rayz . also too dense to realize yzerman obviously proved he knew what he was doing in tbay during a dynasty run via drafting n trading , the only thing slowed tbay down was the cap caused them to lose important depth players . how fans can sit here ignoring what yzer did in tbay then the 1st round draft pix he keeps rocking in detroit and bash him is ridiculous . not to mention the absolute all time shambles detroits depth chart was in when he took over , people prove their stupidity by not realizing a depth chart that gone takes minimum 6 or 7 years to rebuild because the hockey talent pool on earth isnt very deep as theres fewer athletes earth wide playing this cold weather sport ! mean while people can play baseball , football , bball world wide near 12 month out of year so theres more good players to draft in other sports so rebuilds happen quicker . mean while guys like asp/cossa/buchnelnikov/finnie/lombardi/augustine are doing great but of course the bashers dont reconize that

lol. You make it sound like people are playing baseball in Winnipeg right now but nobody is playing summer hockey in Cali. What are you even on about?

Detroit's pro scouting is a dumpster fire. Meanwhile, look at what Jim Nill has done with a different staff in Dallas - elite drafting

I asked earlier who’s the head of Detroit’s pro scouting, someone said it was Steve Yzerman’s brother. What experience does he have exactly?

The nepotism is strong with that hire.

Debrincat would be a dump?

If there wasn’t any doubt you were trolling before, now it’s painfully obvious.

Who wants to pay 8 million for a one way forward whose offense is good, but not great?

Not teams trying to compete.

There is no way I would give up a first rounder for that as a GM. Maybe a 3rd or a 4th at most.

If I'm GM of a contender it doesn't make sense to add him at all unless he comes at half retained.

I don’t really get tf you people want.

How about not being well on the way to a 9th straight year outside the playoffs and for them to be regressing in year 6 of Yzerman's tenure?

Losing both Walman and Gostisbehere really has hurt the Wings. Both players having good years elsewhere.
