How do you fix the Wings?

A good ol' whoopin' otta do the trick boy

[Lampedampe]

Go get a really solid 3# LHD with a few years in the league. Alot of problems will be solved by having 2 pairings that you can rely on 20+ minutes a night.

Most of the other issues we see will solve themselves, the addition of another top-10 pick this year will be great.

But other than that, we haven't seen the Yzerplan in full action yet, his plan includes ASP, Cossa, Danielson, MBN, Mazur, Buch, Wallinder, Plante, Augustine, Lombardi and Brady Cleveland (). Not all will hit, but hopefully one of Kiiskinen, NDN or Finnie will hit instead.

1. Accept the tank and to pursue a Top 4 pick, provide controlled playing time for prospects for experience and assessment of their progress, and stack as much future value as possible with non-core assets
2. Trade Patrick Kane, save him till the TDL to reduce his caphit and remove his protestations about disruption to his family, etc. - sell him on a cup run (FLA, WAS, TOR) - feels like a 2nd Rd pick (55+ range)
3. Trade Alex Lyon to a goalie-needy team near the cap - sooner the better to start the tank (again, a 2nd feels accurate given the cap hit, CAR, VAN)
4. There is probably a world where Tyler Motte, Christian Fisher could be moved but I fail to see the point at this junction and just let it ride with depth
5. Throughout the rest of the 24-25 season, run rotations around Wallinder, Buium, Mazur, Hanas, and Soderblom on multiple game stints up and then swapping out to get them exposure and see if any of them have a future
6. Make sure to finish in the Bottom 5 of the League

Off-season!

1. Line up a 2nd Pair RHD and offer draft capital (from the 2024 TDL) + Rasmussen/Veleno to secure a veteran LHD on a decent contract and term (2-3yrs) to confidently slot in the 2nd to carry
2. Do not get F***** by the lottery and secure a Top 5 Lottery Pick
3. If you do get F***** by the lottery and end up with..8th or something, offer all your picks in 2025 with the team with 5th OA to move up
4. Draft Hagens, Martone, Misa, Frondell, or Desnoyers - whatever elite forward you can get your hands on
5. Try to offload Chiarot, Holl, or Gustafsson final yr to teams looking for defensive depth (given the rising cap, some might take a chance on adding a vet sub 5M with 1yr left)

Go into next year with:

Debrincat - Larkin - Raymond
Compher - Martone - Tarasenko
Mazur - Kasper - Berggren
(vet/rookie) - Veleno - Copp

Edvinsson - Seider
Chiarot - R. Andersson*
Johansson - Holl
Wallinder

Talbot
Cossa

*using Rasmus as a plug - potentially obtainable, 2yr left, good two-way D, could carry Chiarot while ASP gets ready

After the 2025-26, replace Holl, Chiarot, Andersson, Talbot, Tarasenko with Sandin-Pelikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, Augustine

Fixed for you

 

[wingsfannn919191]

Fixed for you

Don't see soderblom ever being a 4th liner . We just have to suck it up and eat salary to dump some guys . Compher at 4 million available teams will come knocking

Tarasenko 50% the same. We have to create roster spots

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

Here's how you,, personally, can fix the Wings. Take some time to seriously review all the things you've done for good luck and pick the best one. Doesn't matter what it is. Prayer, chants, meditation, tying shoelaces or taping your hockey stick a specific way. Remove yourself from civilization for nearly three years, doesn't natter where you go or if you bring loved ones so long as you don't have access to any source of news News will only test and probably break your faith in the act that has always brought you good fortune and contentment with life. Every day, maybe multiple times a day, practice that best way to bring good luck. Don't forget to order the weekly helicopter drop of food, potable water, etc. Return to civilization in October 2027. The Wings will be fixed and you can take all the credit.

Now that Cossa got sent down, I'm 100% pro tank. I think a top 4 pick is the only way to fix this mess.

Nashville being dead last is insane

We should help them and ourselves and send them compher since they need C help lmao

Took cossa leaving after 1 game to see the light ? Lol keeping him here would only ruin him . We gotta fix this defense by next season

Yzerman needs to eat salary on chiarot etc... and just get it done
