I really hope this isn't the organization's position on the matter.
thankfully the johnson rumors seem to have been killed by the fact that he is signing with Pittsburgh. But yeah there is a lot of rumors going on right now. Im just hoping they know something about things we haven't heard about. Maybe an unfortunate hank LTIR, or perhaps a nyquist trade in the works, or perhaps a weird daley/ddk/ericsson trade we don't know about haha.I think this organization is super super high on Cholowski and Hronek. Like higher than we can really imagine.
But even with that being said, if the organization is that high where they believe they have turned the corner...why are we hearing about all these vets coming in to fill skater positions. Bernier I fully understand the need, but the Vanek, Johnson, Green, Val rumors are nonstop it feels.
i was very optimistic after the draft haha. Im starting to get brought back to earth by some of these rumors haha.You guys suck, I choose to be optimistic. We're gonna see a lot of good development and be a playoff bubble team this year. From there we're only going to get better and start competing for Cups in 2 or 3 years. Somewhere along the line we're gonna do a blockbuster deal for a solid #1D that's gonna make all the difference.
Yeah go Red Wings go, prove your fans wrong!

And hear I thought FSD was going to say they are going to suck again next year, don’t bother watching....
i think we will know a lot more in a couple of days. We go out and sign bernier (which is prob the one decision that would be 90 percent agreed with-and if not people would just pick a different free agent goalie), green, vanek, AND filps then it might seem wings management is still living in a La-la land.Some of you folks are so fickle. You really expect the organization to come out and say they will suck next year?
Come on people let's use some business sense here. FSD TV ratings for the wings tanked hard last season. Pretty sure coming out and saying they will suck again this year will not help increase ratings. it's all about drumming up excitement and hype so that casual fans may be more likely to tune into games
A fluff piece by fsd does nothing to sway my opinion (good or bad) of the direction of the organization.
You can hype guys like Larkin and Mantha to salvage ticket sales without claiming that the team is officially back on their way up. That's just going to be egg on their face once it's clear that particular milestone hasn't been reached yet.Some of you folks are so fickle.

Do you ever post anything where you're not trying to act like you're better than other fans?You guys suck, I choose to be optimistic.

So is the stealth tank still a thing?Time to sell the season tickets....
This is hockey (money) business and media has a big impact on it.
I'll try to put into words how I approach my fandom.
I talk armchair GM with an aggressive rebuild approach. Draft the best talent you possibly can. Promote youth quickly, stay away from unnecessary high cost, high term contracts to players over 27.
Once the season starts, I want everyone to have career years, whether it's a bunch of 40 year olds or a bunch of teenagers. I will never root for the Wings to lose. Ever. At the end of the year, if we are sitting bottom 5, I won't be mad though. Because nothing builds up suspense like anticipating the lottery and getting to pick another player like Zadina.
Everything is positive for me once we get down to actual hockey.
