That’s limited edition Carlo
I agree that one of copp or compher has to go they are too similar of players and they need someone that can help bring up mbn rather than bring him down. Why havent they touched on Buium and the danielson injuries? hopefully something is in the works after the next few games
Yzerman should try to trade for Mattias Samuelsson to help bolster the defense.
Trade proposal:
Detroit trades Jonatan Berggren and Erik Gustavsson to Buffalo for Mattias Samuelsson.
Detroit Red Wings defense line-up:
Johansson Seider
Edvidsson ASP
Samuelsson JBD
Chariot
Danielson will be perfect for Nygard on the 3rd line. That is incoming IMO. BTW, game 2 was great but Seider/Chiarot is a horrible 1st pairing and Chiarot is still out of position over and over again. He is going to kill Seider's career if they keep them together much longer. Seider looks lost and slow. Seider is NOT a great skater, he needs to be paired with a mobile defenseman. Aljo is potentially good if they cant find better
Carlo, Give me a fing break, it is not like this the 2nd game we have seen Chiarot…we have years of watching this guy. Chiarot is the Drew Henson of the NHL (old Michigan example for us oldies), looks like a pro but has a 10 cent head and falls apart as soon as a real game starts. Look at Domi's 3rd goal. Chiarot and Seider were almost literally rawdogging each other in front of Talbot. These are 1st pairing D looking that silly. Neither of them took the skater with the puck and in the end they decided to hug each other
Snoozy Lalonde lol, nice
I hear Buffalo is in need of some veterans
I’m at the point where I’m ready to spend a 1st or 2nd for an upgrade on either the forward or defensive end if it gets us a good player under 27. You can definitely find an upgrade for Chiarot without spending more than a 2nd and you can probably get a couple 3rds for bergy and a 6th for Gus
The political situation has Canadians avoiding travel to the US, and by situation I mean Trump. Whether you like him or not as a US citizen, you have to understand that Canadians aren't fond of his tariffs and even less happy about his talk of claiming Canada as a state.
Gibson did a split and I believe he tore a muscle and they haven't said it yet..
AlJo played a lot of minutes last year on the second pair so I don't know why he couldn't handle first pair minutes this year.
