THE VIDS NOT AVALIABLE EVERYWHERE BUT SCROLL DOWN FOR LIST
"McDavid has more points in his last 14 games than anyone on the Devils has all season." hahahaha, F NJDevils.
The McDavid quote was from the Tweet. I added the FNJDthe Devils have 4 guys with more points than anyone put up on the Wings this year
The Wings have 9 players on roster next season, with ~48 million in cap space to sign about 9 forwards, 6 defenseman, and a backup\1a goalie. Most of the rest of the league (that wants to spend) are in major cap crunches with more players signed and less available cap. I feel like the Wings could really jump start the rebuild with our 22 picks in the next two drafts, our young prospects that could come over, and the massive cap advantage the team has. This is the first offseason that Yzerman really won't be handcuffed by H0lland's poor choices.
If I'm Yzerman I make a huge push for all of RNH, Hamilton, Barrie, and Martinez. The Wings have the cap to top the market and playing it to those guys as "We are trying to sign (all four of you) and make a major play for the cup in the next two years" could be a major selling point. RNH is probably getting tired of being stuck in McDavid's shadow.
It's nice to dream. It's gonna be great to see Blashill signed to a new two year deal and all that cap space wasted because Chris Ilitch wants to spend all his money on parking lots.

? Ok, so? We had our Top5 F miss some/most of the season, covid, 1 Top4 dman & the Blash blender.
Those NJ rats are tanking their way to possibly get another top 3-ish pick.
(former GM/president) Loophole Lou - a rat, but a shrewd GM who cheated the system (weaseling out of Kovalchuk contract). Also kind of a power trip not letting his players grow a regular season/playoff beard.
'94-'95 NJD cheated their way to a Cup win, NZ trap & constant obstruction, tripping, interference, dirty plays, (Daneyko, Stevens, Lemieux the "puke") etc. They single-handedly practically invented the DPE. FFWD to '07, ANA deploys similar tactics & also cheats their way to a Cup, committing constant infractions, shift after shift, daring the zebras to blow the play dead. If they did, we'd be looking at a 7-8hr. SC playoff games involving the Ducks. 29 GM's raised hell after the ANA cup win, complaining to the league, per Al Strachan. F NJ & F ANA !!
For those aforementioned reasons, among many others, I''ll always loathe those 2 teams & franchises, even though on occasion I like an individual from either/both teams. Never liked Brodeur, but I respected his skill & accomplishments, especially breaking Roy's wins records etc. The whole "Uncle Daddy" thing though, still funny, but also wtf??
Just like COL, though at least I can respect the Avs cup win in '01, but not the '96 (Draper incident) win. NSH, when Trotz was their coach, he'd have Tootoo, Hartnell or 1 of 4 guy's named Scott/Scotty to run our goalies, constantly. They were a dirty team with low skill, but had to play that way to stay in games. I loathe them both to a slightly lesser degree than the Ducks/Devils. Though again, I still like some individuals (Arvidsson, Suter back in the day, Timonen, Zidlicky).
wondering why he didnt list landeskog as at capfriendly hes a ufa
Sign Martinez and either Wennberg or Stastny and call the summer a success. Could sign Stastny to 1-2 year deal on the cheap and would be a really good veteran presence for us and give us some stability for Larkin and Veleno.Martinez just makes so much sense for Detroit. He is the perfect guy to pair with Seider. He is a decent defensemen and his contract is not going to break the bank.
He’s going to command a bit more than 2Mish. On a 2 year deal you’re looking 4-5M easy.Martinez, I would be ok with.
2 years tops.
2 million per?...ish?
EDIT: the rest, no thanks.
I expect Columbus, Sharks, Buffalo and couple more teams going to tank, I don't think Yzerman going to do it. With new rules, stupid rules, we don't have a chance to get high pickIsn't next year's draft considered to be a good opportunity to get this elusive #1C? If so, the Red Wings better avoid signing top FAs this summer.

What makes you think RNH is tired of being in McDavid’s shadow. Because things were going so well when RNH was the 1C....
