i want a book of 84lives posts put into haiku form.

way too many executives leave yzerman and do well. verbeek. brisebois. yzerman returns to detroit and is now working only with former red wings he played with and the results are not so good.

who's a bettee gm, bill guerin or steve yzerman?

someone should nuke this thread.

you all realize this is the year the wings will move up in lottery, right?

none of those players has contributed one whit yet. youre right, they might. however, i will also remind everyone of the hype surrounding most wings nhl prospects.... ...until they get to the AHL. and a select few who actually get to the nhl. for the most part, they havent done ****. that includes asp, mbn, danielson, and kasper (other than for two months when he was playing with healthy larkin).

i hope theyre getting booed.

1-6 in ncaa finals games.

if yaxel cant play, it might be a bridge too far. but he didnt really play tonight and they slaughtered the 4th best team in the kenpom era...

yeah, but does he try hard and play two way hockey as a 17 year old? that's what's REALLY important.

i would love that to be true, but he was just here and didnt do squat.

7th rounders are just luck. the second round misses are huge. if, in fact, they end up being misses. still time for a few of them. but not much time. how's brady cleveland doing? kiiskanen? neiderbach?

i dont know, but soderblom didnt do jack here and now that he's in pittsburgh he's playing physical and scoring. sooooo....

look, nothing will happen to steve yzerman until steve yzerman decides he's had enough. and then he'll just move upstairs to some fancy role with no responsibility but plenty of salary. but then what happens? do they make draper the gm? the guy who has done so amazingly well drafting? horcoff? lidstrom? bring back shanahan? heck, why not make fedorov the gm, he used to play here. nothing will change until illitch decides to move on from the red wing old boy network, which is extremely doubtful.

everyone bags on late stage kenny holland, and its well deserved, but how about yzerman's drafts? outside of round one, what have they got? nothing. not one pick has made any difference and most have never seen an nhl arena without a ticket. plenty of 2nd and 3rd round picks from 2019 and 2020 have made the nhl, here, only albert johannson as a bottom pair defenseman. they had SIX second round picks in 2019 and 2020 and only johannson has made the nhl, 7 years later. you can talk about kenny all you want, but those two draft classes should have AT LEAST provided more depth pieces than that.
