Yzerman is Telling You His Philosophy if You Listen

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Yes. It's a business, and it's Yzerman's job to deliver the best possible team. He's not doing it. His "stopgap" players have been between underwhelming to downright awful.

Once again, the draft isn't the only way to accumulate talent.

"Crying", lol. This product is dogchit, has been for damn near a decade now, and calling it like it is isn't "crying".

The only two Red Wings prospects that have the potential to actually be high-end talent are Pellikka and Cossa, the latter of which should be up right now as the 3rd goalie instead of the bizarre acquisition of Petr Mrazek and his 3.50 GAA for next season.

Nate Danielson and his 31 points in 56 AHL games? Talk about the next Brett Hull!

Amadeus Lombardi and his 5 goals in 70 AHL games last year and his 12 goals in 31 AHL games this year, he's definitely the next Zetterberg!

Brandsegg-Nygard and his 11 points in 42 games, he's definitely the next Pavel Datsyuk!

The above names aren't exactly lighting it up in the minors - what on Earth makes you think they're going to automatically turn into stars upon entering an even harder League?

The "just wait for the kids" strategy is nothing more than a shield for Yzerman to justify his horrible free agent signings and complete and utter lack of urgency, which is an insult to the fans - aka the paying customers.
