Detroit Redwings Downfall

How is a thread like this even allowed up still? Close this already. Just a troll thread at this point with comments from people who have no idea about detroits situation or issues.

I just don't think you can ignore this if you're honestly evaluating Yzerman's drafting so far; getting something out of rounds 2-7 is a big part of being good at the draft.

Albert Johansson playing top 4 minutes lately and looks very good. Small sample size but definitely something to keep an eye on.
Söderblom is also back in the NHL, looks like a significantly improved version of the guy that was up a few years ago.
Does this count as "something"?

Yeah, that seems to be going around in general lately.

Probably because some people keep posting in it after it's been dormant for over 24hrs and probably not even on the top page anymore...

If your team is on the main board then you should expect to get honest outside perspective from members who don't wear DET blinders, which certainly may not align with your own echo chamber views. Nobody is going to your boards to break that up your fun. But on the main board you will get other perspectives that may not align with the sweet sweet kumbaya songs you're singing on your fan board.

Pretty sure Nyquil is poking fun at this post in the Ottawa thread:

Its a weirder flex yapping all this nonsense about the Sens shit rebuild when the Dead Wings have been dogwater irrelevant with the same shit rebuild for almost the same amount of time now.

The Yzerplan will start working better tho right?

Wings receive their fair share of criticism on the main board. Difference is Ottawa fans want a thread on the main board for everyone to sing kumbaya in sweet harmony,... But if anyone with an honest opinion and view outside of what Sens fans find acceptable to fit their narrative it's 'cry fowl' and "trollzzzlol!".

Y'all go on the...

They have either been unlucky or bad at drafting

They've drafted Top 2 players in 2019, 2020, and arguably 2021 despite getting f***ed in the lottery every single year.

Yeah. Terrible lmao.

I did say unlucky as well. No centers with that many top picks is bad luck then

The centers we drafted are 19 and 20... the 20 year old is in the NHL and his offense is starting to take off while being a very responsible player in general, not just for his age.

Yeah... Not getting a Jack Hughes sucks. I'll take two top pairing D and an elite winger as a consolation prize, though.

At least you have Larkin. Always feel bad for teams that don't get that true #1C. I have been waiting a long time as a Flames fan lol

That and having a group of guys that will play for each other. I remember (as a CBJ fan) seeing stories and hearing how Bowman had the team doing things outside of hockey (golf, events etc.) that made the 90s Era DRW seem like a true team. Hitchcock & Tortorella did the same during their time with CBJ, and the rest of the time seemed hopeless.

I think a lot of teams hit a metaphorical wall because of team chemistry that keeps them from making the playoffs consistently. Maybe this is the problem, and if that's the case; they need a coach, an event, a situation or something else that will bring them together.

IDK, don't follow the Wings, so wtf do i know.

Yup. Kasper with 11 points his past 10.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Lalonde may have just been another Dallas Eakins after all

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

The criticism for the “yzerplan” should have always started and ended with talking about our teams god awful pro scouting (and that horrible Walman trade). Anyone criticizing yzerman cause of drafting at this point is stupid. I’ve eaten a lot of crow the past 2 seasons on that front. Red wings young players are playing great.

For people who don't think Kasper has offensive upside, they need to watch tonight's game against LA. I'm not sure what his final upside is but he reminds me a tonne of Larkin at the same age. A little more physical/more solid but not quite as fast. Energizer bunnies that do everything though
