Canuckish.

A lot of strange going on with this management team.

All bow down before the amazing healing powers of JT MIller!

Pretty much.

Puttin’ good work in here.

Assuming they are knowledgable hockey fans - and Detroit IS a pretty good US hockey market - then its more than a bit disturbing at the lack of outcry at them losing the player. And now I’m reading Hronek is hurt? Lol. If he’s doesn’t turn out to be a very good player, then it’s gonna get ugly for young Filip in this market. Goodness knows that this fanbase always seems to require a “whipping boy” of some sort.

Well, from what I’ve seen from Red Wings boards most fans don’t seem to be upset by losing Hronek….and some are downright giddy and think Detroit absolutely fleeced us.

Well, this trade will ultimately be judged in terms of how good Hronek is. He better be damn good is all I can say or else this has the makings of yet another sad sack development of a largely sad sack hockey franchise. Now, off to watch some YouTube clips of Hronek in the hopes that it cheers me up.

I find much of your content to be batsh*t crazy, but I’m right on board with you here.

Don’t know what everyone else thinks, but this trade strikes me more than a “rebuild on the fly” move than a proper rebuild by amassing draft picks. I seriously doubt Miller is going anywhere now. Hope I’m wrong.

Your words are hitting home with me…highly suggestive I hate it more than I like it. I literally finished up a gym session, looked at my phone and saw the trade then jumped in here. I’m still willing to come around to it. Of course, in saying all this, I’ll readily admit I know jack sh*t about Hronek. Given what we’ve given up here in draft capital he better be a fine player. I’ll be watching him with a laser focused eye. I’ve wanted this team to gather prime draft picks for so long now - watch prospects develop, and seeing some of them in the World Juniors is part of the entire package of being a die hard hockey fan in Canada. But then, I’m not at all convinced about Allvin’s drafting ability….so maybe thats a positive for this trade. Ah, I’m just perplexed right now.

This is right out of the Benning playbook of giving out draft picks like Halloween candy to the little sugar amped kiddos. Give me some time to decide if I hate this…or how much I do.

A certain mod when they check in with this thread….

Oh yes, the JT trade isn’t dead! Pittsburgh always made sense in that JT is a local boy. Not sure what the return coming back would be though.

The Tank, The Tank!!!!!

Lol, the panel ripping our defence.

No way McJesus stays in Edmonton.

We got pretty unlucky there, that was a gimme goal for the Stars.

Tank has life.

Lol no.

Getting yourself prepared for our spectacular failure to tank I see.

Dallas doing what we used to do when we were good and played crap teams. Not showing up.

Lol this team.

Oh boy is our D-core tonight wretched, lol.
