It was a joke. I hope it is okay?You must have me confused with someone else, I drink at a bar with a former NHL captain sometimes, but not THE Captain.
This thread is hilarious
1. Why would Eichel move from a bottom tier trash team to a slightly better team? He has stated that he wants out to play for a contender team. We ain't
2. Why would we trade assets and future picks when we are a REBUILDER team?
Trading for Eichel would be a massive mistake
Oh, went right over my head, lol. Watching a game with a former NHLer is entertaining though.It was a joke. I hope it is okay?
Also, trading Larkin means that you’re not as
Likely to sign Werenski.
Pure filthy fantasy
Trading for Eichel is fantasy talk.
Just like the Larkin will bring Werenski to Detroit talk.
Pure filthy fantasy
In any package for Eichel I’m not trading Seider, not even a consideration for me. Although it’s hard to acquire a 1C, it’s even harder to acquire a franchise number one defenseman who will anchor your team for the next 10 hrs or so. Also, I am not saying Larkin is in the same league as Eichel, but there is a reason he was named captain by Yzerman, and a reason why the locker room is cohesive in spite of all the losing. Many players say it’s a great locker room and great energy, that could change if you trade Larkin. Also, trading Larkin means that you’re not as
Likely to sign Werenski. Just things to consider for those that are so gung ho unloading Larkin.
For the record, I do agree. But to be fair, I remember people telling me the same thing when I said that Yzerman would become our GM at some point. While its very unlikely, anything is possible.
Never said yiu don’t end up doing it, but there are other considerations to think through before trading him, the biggest would be what kind of culture would you have going forward.If you can trade a low end 1c captain for a really high end 1c captain/gm, you do it!

We also got bit by it with Parise pulling Suter to Minny, and watching Taveres ditch NYI to head to Toronto. Signing Werenski is unlikely under nearly any circumstances but I get why people see it as a legit possibility.
Look who is talking.Trading for Eichel is fantasy talk.

As far as I know we have hadIn all honesty this is the kind of thread I would expect more from the trade board. Any package to bring Jack here is going to cost the assets that would make the red wings the eventual winning team that Jack is demanding to go to. Jack wants off the sabers because he is tired of losing. Why would Yzerman want to bring in somsone who is publicly criticizing his team for losing to a losing team that is going to lose more because 3 or 4 pieces went the other way to bring him here. Maybe some people enjoy discussing this but I prefer at least some grounding in reality.

Well, it's not just fans.
Nick Kypreos also agrees.
Nick says he has been hearing that Zach's goal is to "go back to Michigan" and he heard from a source "Mark my words, that guy is going to be a Red Wing"
56:30 mark for comment about Werenski.
