Playoff Chase

I am absolutely shocked to see the teams who were active and looked to improve their team or at the very least shake up what wasn’t working are winning their games while the team (us) who stood pat is losing… shocked I tell ya!
Who is this specifically referring to?

Obviously it’s been like 2 games for most teams so it’s a ridiculously small sample size and silly to even try to bring up.

But, Montreal who we are neck and neck with and also stood pat won last night.
Florida, who made some of the splashiest moves lost last night.
Columbus is another team we’re competing with that got one of the big names that were moved on deadline day in LUKE KUNIN and lost last night.

It's probably referring to Ottawa. Who, by all rights, should have lost against us the other night.
 
Three points now in two games for Dylan Cozens since being traded to Ottawa.

Yeah, the Red Wings definitely didn't need that or anything.
-Small sample sizes!
-Empty net tap in vs us where he didn’t do any of the work
-They didn’t acquire him for free. It took a swap of young nhl proven centers to get him. We don’t have that

Wow. 3 points in 2 games. That's truly incredible. Better give him the Art Ross right now.

But on a serious note; would you have given up Kasper for him? Danielson? Because there's zero doubt in my mind Buffalo's ask started with one of them.

Marco Kasper has 3 points in last 2 games and plays the Cozens spot.

And Cozens is 4 year older.

Ottawa is now on a 6 game winning streak and 7 pts ahead with a game in hand. So yeah, I think the moves they made helped out.
 
As a realist/pessimist Yzerman screwed the season by keeping Lalonde around far too long.

Regardless of the win yesterday - this team won’t make the playoffs.
Yeah, Yzerman should have been quicker in replacing Lalonde. Over the 35 games Lalonde coached, the Red Wings were on pace to be a 70 point team for a full season. Since being replaced, McLellan has the team on pace to be a 100 point team over an 82 game season.

That's a huge difference. If McLellan gets hired in early to mid November the team would likely be in much better shape.

You wanted to give up Kasper + for Cozens? That was the price plus his 7.1M AAV. They can have their 6 game winning streak. Detroit is set up better for the future and they actually completely stole that win they had against us...

No. I just want him to do something to improve the team other than praying for the kids to save us. Literally anything. Doesn't have to be Cozens.

How does it go from Norris (a VERY overpaid C who’s often injured) for Cozens and a 2nd to Kasper + …?

Free agency last was even bigger screw up by Yzerman

I hoped for Carlo. We could give Holl +2025 first
