He could literally be the worst GM in all of sports history and it means nothing with how he is viewed as a player.
What do you think should happen with Derek Lalonde?

Watching his press conference from today my god he’s begging to be fired. Just absolutely pathetic

Of course not. This is a developing team that’s supposed to be on the climb out of the rebuilding stage.
With that being said, The current coach at hand doesn’t do anything well. He’s been a placeholder since his hire and with the team being near competing stages; it’s time to get a real coach.
Piss poor start to the year. The team looks to have no identity. Most players look demoralized. Unless the team is okay with finishing bottom 5 this year and getting a real good draft pick, then I don’t see why it wouldn’t be the right time to have left Lalonde in California and to have hired an intern (at the least) for the time being to try to save the sinking ship

Triggered by not wanting a guy who helped hide sexual assault which led to the guy doing it to kids.
Consider me triggered then, it's like the same people who use snowflake when actually they are the ones who get butthurt faster than anyone.
f*** Joel Quenneville

Yep don't want him anywhere near the Wings. Thankfully it seems he wants a team that's further along and ready to win than what we are so hopefully the opportunity to even get him won't happen.

No, it was a joke based on what he said after we got a point against McDrai.

Last time Red Wings have fired a Head Coach at mid-season, was at 1985-86.
Yzerman even didn't fire Guy Boucher, when the team did drop from 103 points --> 84 points during his second season. They still went to 3rd season and then he was fired after 31 games. (shortened 48-game season).
That 3rd Boucher-firing season ended with 68-point pace and they drafted 3rd overall (Jonathan Drouin).

Yeah, I don't see SY firing Lalonde unless he loses the room completely. Watching the wings play, I am still not sure that the flu bug hasn't been to blame for some of the fiasco we see, some of the older players may take some time to fully recover, but I see way too many brain farts and coasting out there.
I still think Lalonde needs to keep Raymond, Kane and Tank as the first 3 RWs and do some more mix and match. I would like to see at least a 4 game stint of Berggren, Kasper and Raymond as a second line, then they reunite the Kane, Cat and Larkin.
If things don't get better soon (early December), I would look for SY to make a move with a contender, such as the Canes after Christmas, expect something wild especially if Andersen goes down again, salary in = salary out so maybe like Talbot + Ras/JV + Motte/Lagesson + 3rd = Necas, especially if Talbot get a Team Canada nod, his value will be sky high for the contract.
