You guys seem so hyped! LMAO!
Tyler Myers was probably part of a larger deal. I just don't trust rumors when it comes to Yzerman. He's a closed book. If Yzerman gets something done, I guarantee it will be surprising.
don't give compher and rasmussen an out. they're terrible no matter who's getting the puck up to them. 27 & 37 are two overpaid jerseys
TYler Myers is a slug. Thank god he doesn't want to come to Detroit.
– perfect call by brad 'dont saddle team for another season with a weak dman'
– how much control does maltby have over ufa signings ? as in his title is pro scout
exactly evan , ep40 is a very very scary add that could wreck an era
I think we should trade Kozlov for Hasek. Something tells me that will work out real well for us.
initially i was hating ryans take on the candy bar as im an asset hoarder . but gd after he was done im thinking great points . yzerman n crew arent sleeping one wink right now because of this important decission point teams arrived at
absolutely ridiculous ignorance not resigning Alex Lyon considering the amazing goaltending he gave this team for 2 years when he wasnt worn into the ground because our other goaltending was awful imcluding generally Talbot. most of the season weve had 22 roster players. Buffalo without Alex Lyon is not a playoff team right now. Gee you think he could have been resigned and at the very least kept Buffalo out of the playoffs and allowed Talbot or Lyon to be moved at the deadline for draft picks???
We will get an old washed up useless 7th Dman and we will like it
Great way to procrastinate college assignment
Great way to pass time at the airport🫡
exactly brad , bear is possibly very important to the future (as in 1st line winger with raymond) , and this team not ready to challenge today
You can see the bots at work on this channel.
"Great way to pass time at the airport"
"Great way to start work"
"Great way to procrastinate college assignment"
"Great way to force an afternoon nap" 😅
UPDATE: Tyler Myers has been traded to the Dallas Stars as of 12:27pm (~90 minutes after posting).
Return for Myers: 2nd rd. pick in '27 and a 4th rd. pick in '29.
Plus Vancouver is retaining 50% on remainder of Myers' contract which makes him a $1.5-million player this year and next.
Watching this in the middle of the Myers talk as Myers was just traded to the Stars lol
Haha meyers went to dallas
Do we ever really know that an offer was made for Meyers? Or any other "reported" interest in a player? No we don't. Un-bunch the panties and let whatever play out, play out.
Thomas and Faulk would be a great day.
34:46 Tries to summon Robert Thomas like he is candyman, just forgot to say it into the mirror 🪞 🙄
What would it take for the Wings to land Thomas, Kyrou, and Faulk? Asking for a friend.
There’s absolutely no case that can be made to bring in Laine. Someone hide the whiskey from Brad.
The dude in a black shirt is a dumbass douchebag there is no perfect players we need players now we can't make a push without players you always constantly want to wait on a freaking "would be" prospect
Dougie Hamilton ain't even the same caliber as Justin Faulk He's a waste of space that's why they benched him
I may be alone in this, but I don't think SY was ever seriously in on Tyler Myers, if at all. I think there have been a ton of rumours thrown around about a front office that is notoriously pretty leak free. I could be totally wrong, but…
And yes, I do know a trade has been completed now and he's going to Dallas, but I have thought this all along.
This team has LOTS of needs. A trade isn't going to make a big difference.
we need a big move here Stevie!!
I have a hard time believing petterson is done at age 27. He wont hit 100 points with the wings, but we're talking about a guy who can at least challenge Larkin as the best center on this team. Effort is in question, i agree. If we made the trade, it would be with some knowledge steve possesses that makes it worth it. There may be better 2Cs for the cost, but if the cost makes sense for us I don't really mind the cap hit.
Brad is completely correct on Trades.
This team is not winning cup this year and should make playoffs without trades.
So any "major" trades should be made with future years as priority.
The one game I make it to and yall skip the recap…hey yall the Nashville game was a DETROIT PARTY ON BROADWAY. How about that Kasper takeaway shorty assist! That shit was sick!! Detroit traveled well, it felt like we out numbered the crowd. Ill never forget hearing LGRW over the hometeam's crowd. First Wings win that I've been a witness to!! LGRW 🐙🤘
This is the most intelligent and cerebral hockey (Red Wings) conversation on youtube. Subscribed.
Is Robert Thomas considered a bonafide goal scorer ? He’s more of a playmaker so he doesn’t fully solve our issues. We could add a Kane to say a third line that can add some grit and goals
Thank God TM didn't want to play for the wings…… he sacks!
The way you go on and on about Carter Bear. Like he’s the next Connor McDavid and you have to protect him at all costs because he is be best prospect in the system? Recall last year Larkin being disappointed at Yzerman not getting trade deadline assets. Buffalo has been mentioned as a possible stopping place for Thomas. He goes there, then the Wings are suddenly further behind the Sabres.
4 1st rounders??? For Thomas??? 😂😂😂
Have to wonder if the league does not view the Wings' prospects as premium pieces.
I read Connor Murphy went to Edmonton as a favor to him, he did not want to go to a rebuilding or fringe playoff team.
If we got Faulk, we could always flip him for a pretty decent price if he doesn’t want to re-sign at next year’s deadline. Takes the price down if you think that way or you add in his experience helping the development of young D for two hopefully playoff runs this year and next.
The blue line should be the #1 priority. They cannot continue to have Travis Hamonic as the 7th defensemen. The stretch without Edvinsson before the Olympic break should have solidified that thinking.
Its crazy that Brad shit talk Kasper on the top line when he outproduced Larkin at 5v5 on that line
There’s no reason talk about any other need until this team has 2 legit top 2 centers. If Larkin goes down, the team crumbles, we’ve seen it before actually. A lot is riding on Kasper to develop into a top center as there aren’t even any top center prospects in the system (MAYBE Danny, prob 3C potential).
This is 1 of many reasons why it’s so important to have top 6 wingers that are also natural centers.
Love the checkout aisle candy analogy.
The Red Wings will do nothing at the deadline per normal and they have never given us any indication they will
Thomas or bust
Fingers crossed for a big package offer to St. Louis for Thomas and Faulk.
If Vancouver isn’t willing to retain at least 3.5m, then no one will be taking Pete off of their hands. Even at that amount it’s a huge risk for any team. Because if he stays on the same path that he’s on now, you’re stuck with him at 8.5 for years. Vancouver management has no clue. Arguably the worst management in the NHL.
What a douchebag. Yzerman can't assess defenseman. What buffoonery. I've heard this Einstein's thoughts before. Hilariously ignorant.
