That’s a good way to stay mid 👍
Ekblad or Gavrikov, please. Both the forwards and the goalies on the Red Wings are currently capped in effectiveness until the Wings fix the defense.
Forwards are pretry reliant on positive contributions from the defense behind them to truly be effective. It cant be 5 on 3 in the offensive zone.
Goalies are also super reliant on the defense in front of them. They can't do it by themselves.
Dont get me wrong, I'd love Marner on the team. But it's not the forwards or goaltending holding the team back. It's a defense made solely of good players 4 years too young, and old veterans well past their primes.
Mitch is too expensive. Wings have too many holes to fill. My choice is Sam Bennett. Bennett would bring the toughness we need.
Gavrikov. Then a 1-yr rental with Kane or Duchene. Make a minor trade with Nashville for Michael Bunting. Load up the cupboard for the deep 26’ free agency class. $28M in cap space to get a top-6 F, Starting G & bottom pairing RD.
There should be no one opposed to marner joining the wings. I don’t think it’s the best option. But def a piece Detroit is missing. I would prefer gavrikov and ehlers or Bennett hell gavrikov and Marchand. Giving the wings two missing pieces. But u can’t turn down a chance at a 100 point guy. If yzerman only gets marner it will be his best offseason lol. The lol was because that bar is pretty low.
We are not getting any of these players cmon really? The Wings will get out bid and they won’t want to come here anyway. Bring up some youth go after big available Defenseman Garikov possibly or another and watch how Florida and other good teams plays their game and attack the puck more, be more physical and improve puck possession. Goaltender’s need better defense in front of net and around the net. Can’t wait till something happens to help the Wings take next step and get back to winning consistently in big games .I just don’t see them signing any of these players mentioned. We will see?
Yzerman will choke like last summer.
Statistically speaking Marner has the second most amount of points for in the postseason for Toronto. I don’t think he’s a ghost, I just think the entire team crumbles, regardless of Marner making 11+ assists
Regarding the Panther players, the most likely event, if they win the cup again this year, is literally not a single player will leave and the Panthers have the cap space to resign them. The two reason for them to leave is more money or to start something new. How likely do you think the later is?
Please no Brock Nelson. Ehlers, Marner, Marchand, Bennett are all very good pieces for the right price
Would love the additions of Marner Bennett & Brad
I want Mitch and I want him now!
Can someone explain to me what this YouTuber says at the end of every video? Right before he says….”And….BYE🤪”.
What happened to building your own team. Bunch of scavengers trying to leach players off other teams.
If the Wings Sign Marner, Bennet or Marchand and I would be stoked. If they got all 3 I would do backflips
none of those guys are signing up to that dumpster fire lol
DO NOT EVER F%*(^*^&%&%$r SIGN BRAD FACELICKER MARCHAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS LOWER THAN LIQUID DIARREAH SH!T. I DON'T WANT HIM ON MY TEAM. EVER.
If the Wings sign Marchand I will walk away from this team and never look back.
"Marner disappears in playoffs." Dude had 13 points in 13…. people are dumb.
whats the hockey video game in the footage?
Go and get Bennett and Marchand. They can teach a winning culture and bring an edge to the wings. Then, a defenceman.
