Detroit Redwings Downfall

[FriendlyGhost92]

He could have traded guys like Walman and Hronek for other good young players.

He did trade picks for Debrincat. Hasn't had the impact of Miller and Mcdonagh.

His trades in Detroit haven't been anywhere near the same calibre as his trades in Tampa. Maybe that says more about the rest of the hockey management groups than it does about Yzerman.

"He could have traded Walman for another good young player." No, apparently he couldn't have. Unless you're actually suggesting a single team in the league was offering that and he turned it down so he could give up a 2nd.

You can criticize the move and deservedly so, but this statement is just ignorant.

"He could have traded Hronek for another good young player." Uhh he kinda did? They got a pick, swung for the fences, and currently are looking like they hit a home run.

"He did trade picks for Debrincat. Hasn't had the impact of Miller and McDonagh." Funny how your narrative was "He could've gotten other good young players out of Walman and Hronek", but in a situation where he swapped out Bertuzzi for Debrincat, your narrative suddenly changed to "Well he hasn't had the impact of Miller and McDonagh."

And by the way, yes, Debrincat has had a bigger impact in Detroit than Miller did in Tampa. Miller didn't truly breakout until he went to Vancouver.

Sieder is already 25 next season.

Just wanted to highlight this point.

Can you highlight how a person jumps from age 23 straight to age 25????????? Or is that just Detroit hockey players that have that ability?


^These are the people judging DRWs rebuild. "Seider is going to be 42 NExXT season!!11!" -DeRp

So you're saying he won't be 25 at any point next season?

Redundant point.

If i say he'll be 24 and you say 25, then we'll be both be correct. With the small detail that he'll be 24 for like 90% of the season.

Who is most correct? It's just a moot point tbh.

By the time the important part of the season rolls around he will be 25.

Red wings fans probably forgot playoffs exist so I understand the confusion.

So... Seider should be entering his prime towards the end of next season. The absolute horror...

 

[Pablo El Perro]

If Wings start tanking now it's basically telling Larkin he has spent his career and part of his prime with a team that hasn't been able to build anything around him. Im not saying that it shouldnt be done, but if Wings start tanking now and selling players, at 28yo if i was Larkin i would say "Trade me right f***ing now."

How long is he signed for? 6 more years?

No, he'll be 24 then POOF, he's 42.
