NicE! Been a long off season for the Red Wings. Can’t wait to have something real to talk about

 

[lilidk]

I believe same day Raymond has a game

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Raymond is gonna score six goals in his game that day. Wings fans rejoice as LA takes drysdale and Ottawa takes Raymond. Drysdale becomes a multi time Norris trophy winner and Raymond wins four art ross trophies. Our budding superstar Quinton byfield anchors a mildly successful third line for ten years.

just how shit goes lol

didnt have anywhere else to post it

 

[Frk It]

Cool, now I know what day I will be disappointed.

 

[GreatGordie9]

I am hoping that we get Marco Rossi at 4. The only way we get Byfield or Stutzle if Drysdale goes 2nd or 3rd in the draft. UFA would like to see Krug and Markstrom signed. I know a lot of it is dreaming.

No, we don't want Jimmy near our team!

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Tuesday draft is gonna be so weird. So is not having FA start on a holiday.

They couldn't push FA back 3 more days so it'd fall on Canadian Thanksgiving?

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Still rooting for Stevie to convince Chris Ilitch to pay Bobby Ryan $15M in exchange for swapping picks with Ottawa...

... Probably not gonna happen, though.

 

[Ulysses31]

i think Raymond might be as good as William Nylander but definitely not as pretty.

 

[Ulysses31]

No, we don't want Jimmy near our team!

was wondering who 5th guy was

 

[Winger98]

was wondering who 5th guy was

He doesn't look like a hockey player. Looks heavy. And kinda nuts.

 

[Ulysses31]

He doesn't look like a hockey player. Looks heavy. And kinda nuts.

ha. just didnt recognize howard!

 

[Winger98]

ha. just didnt recognize howard!

Neither did I! I know this sounds mean, but howie just doesn't look like he could go out and play competitive hockey there. Mick is twice his age and looks in better shape. @Henkka lately seems to be stumping for a new goalie coach, so maybe Howie needs to inquire about a new job title this year.

 

[Killerjas]

Wake me up when the 5th of October ends

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

i think Raymond might be as good as William Nylander but definitely not as pretty.

Nylander is a great player, but man, I really want more than that at 4...And I know how spoiled that is considering he's a 30 goal player...But we really need a gamechanger. Perfetti or bust.

Not to defend Howard since he was not playing at an NHL level last year, but they are a long time away from actually starting the season so there's plenty of time for players to bulk up and then start cutting down towards gameshape before the season starts.

Wait, has Ken Daniels always been that short?

Yep. Regardless of whom they pick, I want this reaction in a few years:

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I met him a few years ago, I think he's like 5'7.

 

[Ulysses31]

whose comparable to perfetti?
better yet what do you think perfetti will become realisitically?

 

[Henkka]

Howard could start from Griffins/Toledo before promoting... and get some results first.

Yzerman did sign that goalie scout from Tampa, but not a coach.
