If Langdon can pull off this trade, at a lesser cost... I give him kudos. How much lesser? I don't know exactly, but if it were (3) 1st rounders, (1) 1st round pick swap, and a few 2nd rounders... is that good? Can we get him at an even lesser cost than what I lowered it to...?

And Tork, and Dillon Dingler, and Mize and Jobe, and Kerry Carpenter and...

He hired AJ Hinch.

Thank you.

EXACTLY.

I think the only psyche Avila damaged is yours, chas.

The other thing is... I don't think Yzerman is going to just "sit on his laurels" either... Meaning, even if no trades are made... If McLellan gets annoyed by Berggren or Ras, just for example, they can swap them out with Lombardo or Mazur or MBN. If Gibson or Talbot get nicked up a few games, they'll call up Postava or Cossa (health permitting of course...). Not certain where they think Wallinder or Tuomisto are so far this year (or maybe even count Holl as a backup option)... But it seems like Grand Rapids is sitting on several prospects that may become options if needed. It seems like between Detroit and GR, there's a higher level of talent in total than in years past. To be utilized as needed. And if Stevie does want to pull a trade off at the deadline (bringing in talent) ... I'm not going to complain. And I think we just might have the pieces (and draft picks? Is Stevie ready to include draft picks now?) to facilitate...

Hinch/Harris won't be afraid to use those if necessary...

Got it, thanks! Meadows: 1 MILB option year remaining Perez: 2 MILB option years remaining Sweeney: 3 MILB option years remaining

PS: Do we have any shot at the Japanese players posting? No draft pick. And they have two 3B'men (although one I think is mostly a 1B'man) and Tatsuya Imai... who looks like he'd be a great #2/3 starter...

Between Meadows, Sweeney, and Wenceel... who still has minor league options?

The Interior O-Line needs to mature. And 100% health for Decker and Sewell would be great too...

The overturned goal from Danielson was a beauty...! Too bad...

Markkanen for Harris, Ivey, Holland... and however many 1sts and 2nds it takes to convince them...

I believe this 100%, also.

Harris, not Robertson, as an expiring contract.

Yes please.

And probably ASP and Kasper and MBN too, amongst others. But no, they're not all going to hit the NHL ice on the fly... They're going to go through learning curves and rough patches and such... And we're just going to have to live with that until they're up to full speed. Hopefully most of 'em make it instead of flopping. But we'll have to wait 'n' see on that end of the rink.

On board with this. Torres is a baseline... But I also hope they pursue the higher end options as well. Specifically Tucker and Bregman as I keep broken-record mentioning... but also unrelated: the best closer (Finnegan also, as a set-up or secondary closer sign...) they can convince to sign with the Tigers. Just my 2 cents.

That's because MAGA is violent ****scum neo-Nazi fascists, from top to bottom. They can all go **** themselves. From Trump, all the way down. My dad just tried to put Nazi paraphernalia into my hands a month or so ago. I recoiled and barked at him; and haven't spoken to him since. And he knows why.

😉

I thought we already decided this a week ago...?

How is that unethical? That's the very definition of his JOB.

ENG by Cat... 6-3... Hope that does it.

... Be Determined at Some Future Date.
