Simon Edvinsson

Imagine Seider - Edvinsson pair on a strong contender? Panthers or Jets top D pair those 2, people would be calling NHL front office saying this is cheating.

Or imagine if Detroit's 2nd, 3rd and 4th line were simply league average. They'd be fighting for the division.

That is the thing i imagine every time i go to sleep dont worry. BUT also im calling out the coaching at this point, 55 goals for in 20 games isn't bad its kick everyone bad.

2nd line and 2nd pair. Most 4th lines are just warm bodies like the Wings. The Wings have virtually no secondary scoring this season. Every player except Ed that's not on PP1 has 8 or less points.

Tied for 4th worst in the league in G/G.

Tied for 4th worst in the league in G/G.

And tied for 2nd last in Goals for overall. Last season was such a anomaly, it was expected that the shooting% would not be the same, but going from "high scoring" team to this snoozefest is insane to me. Lalonde has had 22 games now for his "new system", and if the system is let's try to play 0-0 and whoever wins on the shootout gets the points then im done. The team will not win the cup this year, you have pieces to play entertaining games, either do that or just tank and stop this absolute poolsheet 1 goal per game shit.

Edvinsson is a most fun to watch player in the Red Wings now

Or we have the same group of forwards + good second pair D.

This is the first 20 games and they are this good. They are going to play for the next 8, 10, 12 years together. It could end up being over a thousand games together.

That is something to be very excited about.

July 1st give him 8 years at whatever AAV he'll accept. Don't play around to the last minute.

This might be jinxing it, but I admit I've been extremely skeptical of your very high opinion on Ed and .. well I think you might be right.

Yeah, then put him on the freakin' PP next season after he signs. There's also ASP to consider hopefully....

 

[Realgud]

I hope Ed keeps improving and him and Seider play together for a very long time. Scary to think about their potential with how good their analytics look already... potential cheat code in a year or two.

It's awesome to see them doing so well defensively. It just sucks that our team is so inept at forward (2 lines that are basically replacement level) that two super talented defensemen like these guys aren't able to put up more points in today's NHL due to lack of support.

Exactly. How many nice plays do either of them make that get wasted because Copp, Ras or Veleno, etc, are the ones receiving the pass or play?

Yeah, then put him on the freakin' PP next season after he signs. There's also ASP to consider hopefully....

But Gus has to play there when healthy and Petry will still need to play there just cause.
