  1. Demko was there at the start of the season. It's fine if you wanna have hope for next season go for it. I've been burned too many times, I'll wait and see.
  2. I very much like the potential of the player Super confused about the timing of the deal when the Red Wings weren't even shopping him. Now cheering for NYI to win the cup so the pick is terrible. And praying we can recoup a 2nd round pick or 2 over the next 2 drafts.
  3. When they can win meaningful games early and often in the season, and not down the stretch when they are already out of it, I'll celebrate the team turning the corner. Until then, they haven't proven they aren't a bottom feeder.
  4. Maybe not next year? Hopefully? But uhhhh right now, yes they unfortunately are.
  5. Hockey gods I think is the right term and after beating 3 games in 4 nights Leafs, Valhalla it is.
  6. I hear ya, but the picks are not gonna take 5 years to pan out typically. That's more of a, 4th round and beyond thing. Someone pointed out earlier, Hronek was contributing to Detroit within 2 years. On our side of the fence, Podz is here now, Hogz has been here and is looking real good in the AHL right now. I think a 5 year time table is not the standard esp when talking rounds 1-3. I may be wrong though I have been known for that
  7. The idea of trading our way out of the current state of this team instead of drafting our way out is very worrisome to me. Although it's fair to say you need a balance of both approaches.
  8. "- On Hronek, the weren't actively shopping him. Got an offer they couldnt refuse" My assumption had been they learned Yzerman was shopping Hronek and felt they had to jump in and make a deal now instead of waiting until the draft. That appears to not have been the case.
  9. When's anything a guarantee? We aren't guaranteed to win anything with Hughes now, and I hate the idea of trading him anyway. Weird point to make.
  10. An OEL buy out does significantly help us next year. If the cap goes up in the following years, it's possible it could be a prudent move. But holy hell 10 years of buy out penalty is a lot. We'll see on the other stuff, there's likely a path as you say. There will have to be.
  11. Lmao Losing our franchise defenseman for nothing And Trading him for a massive haul of picks and prospects Is a pedantic difference. Got it.
  12. You said he'd "walk", that's something a player does into free agency for nothing. So yes, it does make a significant difference.
  13. Itll help this year presuming they don't trade our 1st, but unless its CB, AF, or MM it's not moving the dial that much overall. How do you plug holes when you are over the cap?
  14. That probably takes us up from around 28th-30th in the league in prospect pool rankings to around 20th. It's nowhere near good enough for a team that has missed the playoffs this many years in a row and is currently over the cap for next season.
