He should have bottomed out more. This isn't even debatable. The whole "we tried the bottom out thing and we lost the lottery, so we gave up", getting Nate Danielson instead of Bedard/Carlsson/Fantilli/Smith/Michkov when they have like two players on the roster that factor into the long-term was boneheaded. A potential star forward is way more important for the Red Wings than David Perron's 24 goals.
He's a 1C that we really like. He's not a superstar. But he's a really f***in good hockey player. No, YOU all need to stop with this "If you don't have these guys that we've prescribed as good young players, you're garbage".
Semi competent 2nd liners are better players than Tuch and Skinner. A bonafide top liner certainly is, superstar or not.
thrilled to death with being run over for 4 years and coming out of it with Danielson, Edvinsson, Raymond and Kasparand some depth high ceiling picks that every org has?
While the teams around you are hitting on picks like Sanderson, Mintyukov, Mercer, Jarvis, etc.
Hold up mirror to face. You get ridiculous answers to your commentary when your commentary is ridiculous. Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner are very good players. Jeff Skinner has also been lauded as one of the worst contracts in the league as recently as two years ago. Buffalo took a huge step forward when their two #1OA D hit the league and Tage Thompson took a monumental leap forward.
I'm not sure that credibility is something that exists on these boards. My message was understood by those that needed to understand it.
It may surprise you to find that some posters have credibility. You answered a tough but relevant post with some irrelevant trash. Making an excuse for it won't be beneficial to you.
There also hasn't been enough time to tell if a Point or Kucherov have been found. Could end up Lombardi, Mazur, Buch, even Soderblom got keep progressing. The only draft picks in the Yzerman Era playing so far is Seider, Raymond and Ed is coming sooner than later. All the signings he makes are still value signings that he can essentially trade off for picks. Hence hiw the Wings have picked 900 tines since he's been drafting.
There is nothing credible about these boards since Bobby Mac stopped calling posters assclowns. The post was neither tough or relevant. And the response certainly wasn't irrelevant. If you don't know the connection, maybe someone can fill you in later.
Well if Mac was still around I think I know what one of his top targets would be. Frantically trying to defend his favorite team's player at the expense of his own integrity. The epitome of what you perceive these boards have become.
I'd hazard a guess that it's the clowns arguing Tuch and Skinner are better players than Larkin, but that's just one dude's opinion..
Do you just have the other dude on ignore? Makes sense, honestly... I have a lot of dipshit Wing fans on ignore. Worry about your own, don't worry about me. As I said, the post was relevant and fitting in kind to the manner of discourse that individual distributes.
