Damn with family ties to the team still got traded. I like how Yzerman is no nonsense but I was hoping Regula would be a player for us one day
He will.be 20 next close enough. This is no big loss.
Why the hell not? Might as well give him the best opportunity to play to his strengths.Where do you think he slots in?
I would like to see him with Larkin.
Perlini- Larkin- Mantha
Bert-Flip-AA
Hirose-Nielsen-Svech/Helm
Erne-DLR-Helm/Abby
Yzerman is definitely calling the shots. Hopefully he is right more than wrong....At 0.874M, he's a good reclamation project, but Regula had some pretty good stats in London. I figure the big D was passed on the depth chart by MacIsaac, Seider, etc and he was an asset to be moved for a need - a middle-6 forward. He might have more of an offensive upside than someone like Ehn, De la Rose or Abdelkader and that might have made him attractive.
All I can say is that I can appreciate the moves that Yzerman has made so far - he's put his stamp on the team.
After a few years, the family relocated again, this time to the Detroit area in order to be closer to Michigan State, where Brett was playing. That allowed Brendan to join a remarkable youth team that included fellow future first-round picks Dylan Larkin, Kyle Connor and Zach Werenski.
I would not be surprised at all to see Athanasiou wearing a different sweater come April.Maybe I’m just skeptical in nature, although I like the thought process here, I’m wondering if this posturing. I wonder if it’s the first domino to fall and it signals another deal like a Mantha or Athanasiou deal.
Obviously it could lead to Hirose/Smith/Svechnikov being sent down, but this is an interesting one. He’s gonna replace someone in the top 9 and possibly top 6 if I had to guess.
On the current roster including Perlini we have 7 LW. Someone either will be sent down, waived or traded? Our LW include Hirose, Svechnikov, Abdelkader, Erne, De La Rose, Bertuzzi, 7 LW doesn't sound right.
23 years old, former 1st round pick.
not really a fan of this one
always had a pretty high opinion of regula(even before the draft was hoping the Wings would pick him)
guess Yzerman sees a reclamation project worth taking a chance on in Perlini when he demanded a trade,we'll see how it works out I guess but i've always felt Regula has some underrated upside to him so won't be shocked if it backfires in an ugly way either
I figured that, my hope was to waive Abdelkader but likely not to happen, Smith or Hirose would probably be sent down with Erne due to come back very soon. Maybe Svechnikov.Because many of them play different positions. Abby has played both LW and RW. DLR has played all three forward positions. Svechnikov and Erne haven’t been on the ice at the same time. There are a lot of work arounds.

He will be if he plays the 2020-21 season in the OHL. He's not an overager in any way shape or form right now. You are probably right that he's not a big loss but he's having a very credible season that is not due to him being an overager.
