jon scheyer is from the (rich) suburbs of chicago. i used to work for a guy whose kids went to the same high school. said scheyer was dumber than a box of rocks. now that was a long time ago, and he did go to duke (lol) so maybe he's picked up some smarts over the years, but still... then again, you dont have to be smart to coach sports.

its depressing. three years in a row its the same thing. will larkin cry about not getting enough help at the deadline this year? yzerman really needs someone - anyone - outside of seider/raymond/edvinsson to step up and do something. and if theyre not, ****ING TRADE THEM FOR SOMETHING. and quite frankly, can lucas raymond get some stick? doesnt your supposed best offensive player need to step it up? i know what happened two years ago, but he's been pretty quiet this year and last when they needed him.

honestly, i've lost interest. i just assume theyre going to roll over and lose. (until they win a game and then i'm right back in it)

horrible coaching job.

theyre just not good enough.

big ten continues to roll.

that was a huge huge win.

if they went full tank, the move would have been to trade larkin.

i certainly dont feel he's some evil genius like you do, that he's holding back detroit sports teams by pinching pennies. this tigers' summer sort of undercut your thesis on that one. i think he's a nepo baby who hasnt done the work like his dad did. i'm not sure why you think otherwise.

you "think its pretty certain" based on what? again, you put stock in illitch having a plan other than yzerman falling into his lap and him saying "ok." i think its more likely yzerman said "i'll take the job, but the farm system is **** and it will take ten years to rebuild and i want him, him, him, and him to come to my staff and a budget for whatever i want." yzerman had all the leverage and illitch has no history of knowing anything about hockey or any connections in the league to make a judgment on who to hire.

i dont think illitch had anything to do with it. i think it was all yzerman. i doubt illitch is that involved in the day to day.

jason previously stated that players want to play with dylan larkin. i'm asking who.

****ing idiot is more like it.

derrick queen has fallen off rhe map a little bit too. you know, the reason why they gave up an unprotected first round pick in a loaded draft?

what free agents have signed here to play with dylan larkin?

there were folks on this site clamoring to trade up to draft shane wright...

the idea that everyone loves dylan larkin and wants to play with him is a myth. didnt we go through this at the trade deadline when players were using their nmc to NOT come to detroit?

and yet still has PE buy ad space on the floor.

with the rise of the salary cap, there arent nearly as many free agents to sign because most teams have more than enough room to sign them. maybe that changes in the near future, but our hopes for all these teams to be dropping their best players like flies who will find their way to detroit because we have cap space is not happening. i've been as patient as the next guy, and the wings have had nothing but bad luck when it comes to injuries and lotteries, but he is the one responsible for the results on the ice, and those results havent been good enough.

every town has a writer like that. it used to be drew sharpe forever. then rahb pawker. now monarrez.

we dont have a first round pick next year anymore. that would likely end any pipedream of getting matthews. even if the leafs would trade him to us.

The great josh giddey missed another triple double by 1 rebound last night as the bulls put up 137 on the sixers. and lost by 20. the bulls gave up 157 points in a game. no one should take any of these great looking numbers by mediocre players seriously. neither team tried. it was the equivalent of an all star game, without any all stars.

twolves are currently 4.5 games ahead of toronto for the 19th spot in the draft, so it looks like the pistons will get their swap to move up 5 or 6 picks in the draft.

That says more about corey pronman than it does about the talent in the wings' prospect pool in 2019. and it should be a cautionary tale for those of us who love to espouse all the talent we have just waiting to be nhlers. odds are that 75% of cossa, bear, augustine, lombardi, danielson, asp, wallinder, tuomisto, et al arent going to be nhl players of any note.
