Maybe they realized they won't be able to compete at the same time as the Sens and Sabres. Things are too crowded right now in the Atlantic, so it's probably better to delay things a couple years and wait until some of Boston or Tampa starting falling off.I don't get Detroit selling off good assets even though they feel they might be out of the playoff picture at this point. Like, they're still supposed to be entering their playoff contender window soon so why give away a player like Bertuzzi? I don't get what the plan is.
Domi is the perfect fitWho doesn't suck that we can acquire to take 2C and put Pinto in the 3 slot? Henrique?
Nobody. I don't think they want to take anyone off the roster and we are sitting at 23 right now.Who doesn't suck that we can acquire to take 2C and put Pinto in the 3 slot? Henrique?
Domi is a cock.Domi is the perfect fit
fits our style
i think contract talks fell apart and they dont want him to walkI don't get Detroit selling off good assets even though they feel they might be out of the playoff picture at this point.

asking price is a 2nd for domi so probably goes for lessNobody. I don't think they want to take anyone off the roster and we are sitting at 23 right now.

I mean it was pretty obvious their team is way too soft. I know you dont like it but having a small not overly fast back end does not work against a heavy forcheck. They dont have a superstar forward to build around either. Yzerman made the right decision. He is building from the net out, they will have Edvinsson soon too. Wonder if they are trying to clear cap to sign some UFA's next year while maximizing assets like Bertuzzi.I don't get Detroit selling off good assets even though they feel they might be out of the playoff picture at this point.

Dont think so at all. This team plays its best when its heavy on the forcheck. I want a big guy centering that third line that can skate. They have enough small forwards.Domi is the perfect fit
fits our style
Bjugstad is a good defensive 2C who I assume could be had for fairly cheap relative to other targetsWho doesn't suck that we can acquire to take 2C and put Pinto in the 3 slot? Henrique?

he would be an upgrade on Pinto at the 2C role.
Sens should find some depth down the middle

agreedIt appears the lack of contract talks was more on Yzerman's end though. Don't think it's wise of them to lose one of their only gritty players lol.
And I agree I'd take a shot at Domi for the rest of this season if he comes at such a cheap price. Clear upgrade on Pinto for now, and we can just let him walk this summer.
I think they keep them at this point since we are going for itSo when GM PD sleeps off his celebratory hangover, he should be good for another deal? Talbot and Holden perhaps?
Teams building an identity Domi doesnt fit, guy ripped Columbus after he left said he friends actually like going to the games in Chicago, hes a loser. Pinto stays in the 2 hole and Bjustad plays on the third line. Just have a big heavy bottom 6 that punishes the opposition. Thats winning hockey. Dont need Domi floating trying back hand toe drags.agreed
other players I was looking at is Bjugstad who is probably worse than Pinto or taking a huge risk on Monahan and see if he returns
not many centres avaliable. think Domi is a good fit

Not Holden, that's good insurance for injuriesSo when GM PD sleeps off his celebratory hangover, he should be good for another deal? Talbot and Holden perhaps?
Ya he definitely left some on the table. Not like in the past though.I think he gets more as a UFA. Probably 13 or so.
