  1. Solid pick, can't wait to see in 5 years from now when we trade him away for another pick.

    Unreal that we could never get Cossa a chance to get some starts, especially when it was clear we weren't making the playoffs last season. Was painful watching Talbot struggle out there when we could have really given Cossa a chance to see if he could do it. Hope he does well in Utah.

  2. Good job convincing everyone to take Cossa over Wallstadt Drapes, when the entire hockey world knew Wall was better. You were a fine player but basically worth your 1 dollar as management. F-ing useless 6 years

  3. What a failure the yzerplan has bin! Enough is enough fire that man such horrible GM! Choose Cossa over the wall in St. Paul then develop Cossa to trade him basically for Faulk and to move down in the draft a bunch wtf and now have to develop another player 3-5 years before we see him if we ever do! The Wings needed top end forward help Yzerman gets old bottom 6 players an old d man and yea move out the goalie for nothing Detroit is a fucking shit show about to bottom out and start the rebuild all over again from a major sports record of 25 straight playoffs to gonna set a major sports playoff drought under this management!

  4. this management crew is bottom of the NHL in terms of taking chances, trying to win, success, giving a fvck if we make the playoffs. At least Chris isn't spending too much moneyl FFS.
    Shit, or get off the pot. WTF is wrong with this org.

  5. Draper says they will take the best player available, but I feel like they need to take another forward with their 2nd, hopefully a center, another high skill guy, too many goalies and defenseman already in the system.
