Habs vs Wings

[schuelma24]

I fully acknowledge and respect Montreal fans feeling very good about their team right now, but some of the statements here shitting all over the Wing's prospects/young guys are a bit much.

As a Wings fan I voted too close to call. I think Detroit has a better D pipeline and looks slightly better at goalie, but I love Montreal's offensive potential with Hutson and Demidov. That said, I think the Wings have a nice crop of genuinely hard to play against forwards coming up that are being a bit overlooked because they admittedly are not going to put up a ton of points.

We'll see .. should be a fun couple of years.

When a player requests a trade youre always always at a disadvantage in trade negotiations.

But thats not even the point, this treade didnt mean the habs were rebuilding, they were active on the free agent market every years.

I find it hilarious that fans of other teams are attempting to tell us when my team started their rebuild. Absolute comedy.

You have proven across your 200 posts in this thread you have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks to the Red Wings for free wings of La Cage aux Sports! 5 goals equal 8 wings!

Scott Wheeler being high on the Wings is quite the take. He regularly devalues players that play a 200 foot game, which is essentially all Detroit looks for.

I'm not even gonna argue Montreal's placement. just gonna point out that any "Source" putting Detroit 14th or 15th in prospect pools is a shit source. That's even if they're not including Edvinsson.

Unbiased sources ranking DET low are shit says totally not homer wings fan. And yes it's literally provable that Wheeler is higher on the wings than majority of public scouts, you do realize it's all on the internet and you can literally go check all public rankings yourself right?

Allow me to give you a helpful hint: Wheeler has a track record of valuing offensive production over defensive ability with both forwards and defense. This isn't just a Detroit thing, but shows up particularly when it comes to Detroit because they have a habit of drafting for all around play with guys that may be perceived as having "Limited offensive upside". As a result, and likely not due to any bias, Wheeler regularly underrated a number of Red Wings prospects. He did this with both Seider and Edvinsson. He's doing this currently with Danielson. Alternatively, he thinks very highly of ASP, because it fits his preferences.

As for your "Unbiased sources", yes, I'm absolutely telling you that calling Detroit the 14th or 15th best prospect pool while they have ASP/Cossa/Danielson/Kasper/MBN/Augustine/Buchelnikov and, depending on the release date, Edvinsson, is bat shit insane. There are not 13-14 better prospect pools than that. I really DGAF if you think that's Red Wing bias. Too bad.
