<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snowhawk18</b></div><div>Let’s be honest, the Yzerplan is a little off the rails at the moment. Stevie has gone out and overpaid for some vets that RW fans now want to dump on other teams, the thing is those teams are not obligated to help Detroit unless it benefits them.

Chicago paying for Copp doesn’t make sense, he’s not a game changer, he’s not a culture setter and the Hawks already have enough vets to “show the young guys how to be professionals”. So in order for the Hawks to take Copp and his remaining 3 x $5.65m the Red Wings would need to pay Chicago… Veleno is not payment, he is a disappointing former 1st round pick who is at best a depth piece.</div></div>

It's not off the rails at all, you're just not in touch with their situation.

Thread: Armchair-GM For the Wings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Squirrel84</b></div><div>1) TT is going to demand that much, and given Detroit's talent (or lack thereof) on wing, he would be a good fit. Marchesault is another guy, but he's a small winger who is older than TT.
2) yup, but Roy is a dream signing. Petry and his NMC isn't going anywhere. Switch Chiarot and Roy, and I'm still happy with Roy, but we can't afford anything more than 4, maybe 5 million. You're right, I just really want Roy
3) that's why it's a bridge deal, 3 years, he'll still be an RFA, but make massive amounts of money
4) Which is why he's flanked with experience. We can't afford a quality C, so lets use a homegrown one on an ELC. It's a shame to put him on 3C or 4C. If that's the case, let him sit in the AHL, but then we have a hole at C.
5) Agreed... but his value isn't on the ice, it's in the locker room. 4th liner making meh money isn't a big deal.</div></div>

1) TT is not that good - Yzerman won't be paying him that
2) Roy is not that much of a pipe dream and we can easily afford $6M+ for him
3) Sure
4) Danielson isn't ready, Kasper may be
5) Perron sucks

Thread: DRW 24-25 - Possible plan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Did they? Which one? Nobody who’s watched both those players would ever say that.

Some stats are less useful than others, but GsaX is a pretty useful stat in rating goalie effectiveness. Hell of a lot more effective than save % which is often a team based stat.

I’ve watched plenty of Alex Lyon over the years. He goes on good stretches, but is inconsistent and it’s backed up by this stat. Over the course of the year, he saved just about what was expected of him. Never been a fan of Husso.

I like what I saw out of Cossa in Grand Rapids. Thought Augustine was OK at Michigan State. I’ve probably watched more of those two than most Detroit fans ;)</div></div>

This is a classic example of yet another poster losing trace of the argument.

You can argue Lyon's effectiveness all day long, it doesn't matter. The point is trading Wallinder for a 30 year old goalie is dumb - simple as that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaclul</b></div><div>Edvinsson, Al Johansson, Wallinder, Buium, Tuomisto, Sandin-Pellikka, Gibson, An Johansson, these are all pretty decent to really good d prospects that Detroit has - assets that can be used to improve the team, you can afford to sell on one. If you extend Ullmark to hold down the fort until/if Cossa or Augustine turn out good, I don't see how that's a stopgap, or is every signing a stopgap?

This team currently has a backup that got burned out towards the end of the season in Lyon and Husso that is a question mark if he's ever getting back to form again after getting rough injuries for a goalie. "Issues not in net", huh?</div></div>

Edvinsson is a Red Wing, ASP is looking good and won't be traded. The rest of those guys will probably never be regular NHLers, but Wallinder looks like a REALLY good prospect. This is just about Wallinder, any of those other guys I'd trade no problem. You don't trade a prospect like Wallinder for a 30 year old goalie, especially on a team that isn't contending for anything. That is bad asset management.

For example, if we packaged Wallinder in a trade for Hanifin, that is something that makes a lot of sense. A young, cost controlled piece whose age lines up with the rest of our core.
