Why do so many people act like a team is only allowed to make 1 move per offseason? I'm pretty sure Staios doesn't think his work is done now that he got Ullmark. They can still go get some dmen and bottom 6 forwards, they have all offseason to do it.
There's literally nothing to indicate that will happen. Bostin's defensive underlying numbers were worse than Ottawa's. And Korpisalo has been bad for 90% of his career.
Why would I listen to anything from the Brady Bad Club President, Karlsson was terrible defensively for yrs & you never said a peep about it. We all know you hate the player & want EK back as captain so badly.
This is a myth made up on here by the Brady Bad Club. The whole team was bad defensively because the goalies were terrible all yr & the defence sucked as well, that is well documented. Stop blaming one player who is constantly fighting for space in front of the opposition net, try doing that every shift to see how you feel after a game. People clearly have no idea how hard his job is in front of the net taking the constant punishment from big opposition defenceman
More than I've ever seen any fanbase go in my life.
What...the f*** are the Wings doing?
Yes, all young players need to make a commitment to defence yet I never see the Brady Bad Club mention Stutzle needs to be better defensively, just like they never said anything like that about Karlsson who was terrible defensively. It's this negative dribble constantly aimed at Tkachuk like he is the one bringing down the entire team. Have you ever mentioned that Stutzle needs to come in next yr with a commitment to defence? Should he & Chabot not be the first mentioned when it comes to making defensive gaffs & mistakes?
Karlsson was not bad defensively because of a lack of commitment to defense. His role on the the team was to carry the offense, and he had to take risks to do that, and he had to trust that Methot would put out fires for him. Whenever he was put in situations where he had to lock down defensively he always excelled.
He does lead, anyone who doesn't think so doesn't know hockey. How many more records does he need to achieve for people to realize this?
Yes he was, except the one yr where he led the team in blocked shots, one yr.
Oh that's right, he wasn't 6'4 and didn't crush people ever shift so he sucked defensively and didn't care.
Ullmark deserves to have his well-earned track record considered and it certainly would be in any negotiations. Those Buffalo results you cite are impressive!
