Detroit Redwings Downfall

[Pavels Dog]

This thread was never about a bad 2 months.

Yes, it was. There's reasons these threads get made and explode with activity when the team is struggling, but go dead silent when the team is winning.

The entire reason some of us Wings fans are bumping the thread in good times is to balance out the fact that every losing streak is the start of another "bash the Wings" thread.

An internal hard cap number instead of a % of the cap at the time of signing number is how great teams lose elite talent for pennies on the dollar. Makes zero sense. Your captains feelings aren’t gonna get hurt, if anything they are upset you made their goal of winning a cup harder.

Number or percentage is irrelevant. Blowing $13M on a UFA winger grossly exceeds both.

What’s your definition of elite? Top 5 forward? Top 10? How many elite forwards are there in the NHL? How many elite D?

Not sure an exact definition but @RedHawkDown has a pretty good one above. Raymond being the age he is, top 16 in scoring right now, 4 points out of the top 10 in scoring and how he does all kinds of other little stuff? Its definitely time for the elite conversation at this point in the season and his second half last year

Since last January... keeping some pretty good company.

102 pages. Look at how many pages any other thread has. Shows you how much the Red Wings are universally loved. Even if some of the love is deeply closeted.

With a win tonight, that'll be the second 7 game win streak this season, both coming under McLellan (took over for Lalonde 40 days ago)

Hate the team or the players or the gm or the fans all you want, but nobody can deny that it's pretty f***ing impressive.

With that criteria, can we get your top 20?

Sure, gave it a shot. Just off the top of my head so probably forgetting guys.
