Chiarot cannot be in the Top 4, if this team expects to be a legitimate playoff contender.
And I like Chiarot's energy. He just needs to harness it. He's too wild, blows everything up when he goes rogue. He can work, on the bottom pair, but I think I've seen some of his negative tendencies rubbing off on Seider, and I don't like it.
Not in the division they're in, they're just not talented enough and the way they fold down the stretch is an even bigger problem. The make up of the team is fundamentally and fatally flawed.
No and its starting to annoy that everyone is talking about it. With 0 upgrades to team no chance. Yeah and btw Montreal added Dobson + Bolduc and they are not even lock for playoffs….
watch tarasenko net 25goals next season lol I feel JVR is a down grade. Kasper will break out so im not as worried. bergren and docker im curiuos about . Gibson and Talbot seem better than Mrazek & Husso. idk. Copp & Compher gotta step it up. dont even mntion kyle connor he wont come just focus on playoffs lol kinda wish they kept Kostin
The Red Wings D still a big problem. We need to add a top four LD, and a top six forward. RD is still a big question mark.
Gibson and more consistent goaltending would give the Wings a lot more improvement than just 2-4 points, if they just had decent goaltending the last 2 years they would have made the playoffs.
I watched locked on Red Wings every day. I actually like both Chairot and Copp as players just not a fan of their contracts and Chairot needs to play on the 3rd pairing. I like what he brings though and both of their leadership.
Red wings won’t make the playoffs with YZERSCAM and they still don’t have defense
Gibson and a better than absolute garbage pk will go a long way to getting this team back to the playoffs
Detroit’s is cooked this year again.
I'll focus on the Pistons for the third straight year. As for the NHL, this will be year five of watching the Panthers. No playoffs here.
Defense is the downfall for the Wings. They don’t have the depth to compete for a playoff spot. Too much pressure is put on rookie defenseman, the defenseman have to be allowed to mature without the amount of pressure that is being put on most of Detroits core.
No.
They are average at best and did nothing to improve.
At this point they need to start bringing some of the kids up and lets get moving.
The Wings are in the worst spot you can be in, the mushy middle. Not good enough to make the playoffs but not bad enough to tank for a top 3 pick either.
Oh hell no, taking a step backwards this year….defense Is weak
90% of wings fans in the youtube ecosystem are actually the worst
Chiarot on first pair D is all you have to know. Worst D I have seen in over 45 years of watching this team. Absolutely dumb
Wings are a few years away from making the playoffs. At least 3-4 years, when teams like Tampa Bay, Toronto and Florida start their downfall.
Will not make the playoffs once again to make 10 year drought.
We have a chance but this is not the season we step on the gas. When Yzerman does you will know.
Gibson is NOT a solid goaltender, and he wont contribute much to the team. Look at his record, He loses twice as many game as he wins. his average win percentage for the past 5 years is right at 29%. Definitely NOT worth the Second Round 2027, or Fourth Round 2026 Draft Picks…
