It's not what you or I think it's what Yzerman thinks . We are only 6 points with extra games behind Washington 8 place
We already have that D in GR.If we can get on a little hot streak over next 2-3 weeks maybe stevie buys and grabs a D-man to help bolster the middle pair and nice chiarot down to 3rd pair
I am NOT a fan of Yzerman buying this TDL. We aren't contending for anything.If we can get on a little hot streak over next 2-3 weeks maybe stevie buys and grabs a D-man to help bolster the middle pair and nice chiarot down to 3rd pair
Pssshhhh. With newsy gone, I'll fill in....As of today we have 8 more games in the month of February.
8 games in 13 days and only 2 of them are at home. There are 2 back-to-backs in that stretch and only one span with 2 days off. It's going to be the beginning of probably the toughest stretch of the year for Detroit.
I think the optimistic expectation is win 4, lose 1 in OT and lose 3. That's not going to be enough to get past any of the teams ahead of us. It's not just Washington that we need to fail. We need the Islanders, Buffalo, Ottawa and Florida to ALSO fail in that stretch.
With the trade deadline on March 3rd approaching, I would expect that by the end of the month there are 3 players (at minimum) traded off this team.
Also have 4 games in hand on Washington and 5 games in hand on the Islanders and Florida.
True, but it still means passing up on opportunities to be sellers and acquire more assets. Particularly when it comes to a player like Bertuzzi who the Wings could lose for nothing this summer.We don't have to "buy" anybody. Yzerman did that already at summer.
Maybe some hockey trade to fix some position, give something from a surplus and bolster a weakness a bit.
Right handed defensive center or something for LhD.
Our roster is very overcrowded, when all are healthy. Depth is fine. Typical trades for playoffs are adding just depth.

Trading Bertuzzi could be a hockey trade, I think.
I think it really doesn't matter, are the assets futures, only futures, or some other asset who can play or bolster the roster.
It's still trading asset for an asset = maintaining the value.
I think Buffalo and Ottawa are going to fall. Islanders probably won't because they added horvat on a tear for this season and florida seems to always have our number when we play them, so I just transfer that logic to the standings.As of today we have 8 more games in the month of February.
