  1. Here’s my take… and be prepared for a real rant here and foul language (even though anyone who knows me isn’t anything new)

    Simon was the only player who is an RFA that didn’t have a contract extension to actually show up to their teams respective Training Camp to get in shape… He also was ACTIVELY saying he wants to be a Red Wing…. To participate in Training Camp, he paid for his own insurance so he could be covered if God forbid he got hurt… SIGN HIM NOW!!

    Chris goes ahead and says Shawn can do what he needs to do with no interference, which I’m sorry, I do not buy that line of bullshit one cent.

    The organization is STUPID ENOUGH to say “we want a bridge deal…” while EVERYONE says that’s a terrible idea with how the cap is going the next couple seasons.

    Simon has handled all this in good faith with an organization that clearly has no fucking clue to what they are doing… Chris is a failure of an owner and his father must be rolling in his grave to see what his son has done to the two franchises his father SAVED!

    If I were Simon, I would have my agent contact teams to see if there’s an offer sheet to be had… force the Wings hand.

    Simon was too good of a piece to consider trading for Quinn Hughes… BUT they won’t sign the guy after time and time again he’s proven to be a good soldier for the franchise. And especially when we have UFAs not wanting to come to Detroit now because they don’t like being grind down in negotiations. We have players not even returning calls… Oh and let us all not forget, our Captain this off season said “trade me”… Even your leader in the locker room is done here… So why alienate any player in your organization who actually wants to be a player on your piss poor ran team?!

    Simon is a solid Defenseman who would improve the depth of any team he is on.

    Chris needs to answer for the incompetence of the organization he runs as well as his own… since he took the reins for the Wings and Tigers they both hold the 4th WORST records in their respective leagues… And the NHL has had 3 Expansion Teams since 2017, which 2 of them are at least considerably better than the Wings…

    I’m on Simon’s side and I hope he puts the screws to this poorly ran organization for fucking him over this off season and his development…

    If Simon decides to go to another franchise what wants to actually win, I will buy his jersey IMMEDIATELY!

    Sorry, this is the real beginning of the New Dead Wings era, buckle up folks, it’s only gonna get worse before it gets better…

  2. If I were Dylan, I would have left the dead wings after my first season. The team and organization suck. Sad truth, but the Detroit lye down Lions are not much better folks. Won't even make the playoffs.

  3. How in the hell can anyone blame larkin for wanting out? How can anyone still be crying about larkin asking for a trade after watching everything that has happend this offseason? Im starting to think wings fans deserve this. Spoiled crybabies.

  4. I've been waiting for you guys to say one tiny positive thing. So i'm going to suggest something.
    On paper the team doesn't look horrible. Teams have crawled out of holes like this before, because they have something to prove and nothing to lose.
    I'm staying cautiously optimistic

  5. I thought at first that the only way Ilitch could save face is to put Yzerman back in as GM. But then I know it would only be more of the same micro-management by Ilitch. Supposedly Yzerman played hardball to keep Larkin's salary down. BUT, maybe he was only doing what that cheap MF Ilitch wanted. Let's boycott the pizza.

  6. It's a fallacy to think the wings have hit bottom. 
    It's the owner; Chris glitch hasn't destroyed all the good young players that Yzerman brought in yet. We have a ways to go yet.

  7. Edvinsson is back in Sweden… for now… with Frölunda HC.

    Been a fan for 20 something years. I am taking a break. I don’t mind following shitty seasons. I do mind being screwed over as a paying customer. F ilitch.

  8. You no loads still want to disparage Larkin for leaving! He is the only good thing that happened to this organization in the last 10 years. If it wasn’t for him none of this incompetence would be exposed! You should lauding him! What pair of wanna be journalists basement stoners!

  9. You guys could’ve reshaped the Organization with a trade to Montreal for a pile of young studs!..But Lady Larkin only wants to play with his Olympic Buddy’s !…REALLY GOES TO SHOW HE’S NOT ABOUT WINNING AT ALL & ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!..WHAT A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR AN NHL CALIBER PLAYER!.I HOPE HE ENDS UP GETTING RIPPED TO SHREDS BY THE WINGS FAITHFUL!!
