  1. But have you considered the emotional anguish I'd feel every time I saw Necas and was reminded we drafted Rasmussen over him?
  2. I honestly might just buy out Holl if I were gm, at least it gives them a roster spot to play with
  3. Sounds like the Stars might be looking to move Robertson to get some cap space this offseason? Kinda surprising but they do have a lot of free agents and Harley will need a new deal after next season. I guess the Dumba and Lyubushkin deals aren't great for them? Oh I didn't realize it was this bad: "The Stars have less than $5 million in cap space for 2025-26 with 16 active roster players under contract." Will be interesting to see where Nill goes from here...
  4. I didn't even know this was something that could happen, interesting
  5. LETS GO! He had a really good year this last year across his season in Finland + WJC. I'm excited to see where he goes from here, probably at least one more season in Europe I imagine.
  6. I don't think I recognize the names very much, but I did enjoy the Canadian announcers more when I was up in Winnipeg this year haha. In full transparency I tend to mute and listen to music with all the TNT / ESPN broadcasters so you can take my Bucci feelings with a grain of salt.
  7. To me he talks like he's trying to be a zoomer or whatever and it gets old really quickly with me, but mostly I think he is absolutely awful when he calls games live. He has no flow to his speech, he interjects too many stupid asides about players in the middle of play (see buddha's post) and a lot of times it seems like he defaults to just saying the names of the player who has the puck without anything else so it just sounds like he's listing people off of rosters. In my mind ESPN clearly sees him as their worst PBP too because he seems to get saddled with awful broadcast partners and games. I liked him when ESPN only gave hockey a token like 8 minutes on Sportscenter with him talking because he seems genuinely passionate about it. As soon as he had to do any more he started to annoy me for whatever reason. I straight up mute broadcasts and listen to music if he's doing play by play.
  8. Don Cherry, Barry Melrose and John Bucigross are all awful in my opinion. But each for different reasons.
  9. If Jake was truly a great guy he would have taken them to a card shop to buy hobby boxes not this retail slop 😉
  10. If I had a nickel for every time that DeBoer threw a beloved goalie under the bus I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice!
  11. It was said 99% in jest (who wouldn't want his rosters?) and 1% to say it is really tough to succeed in the NHL! I'm running on little sleep so you can probably ignore most of my posts right now, I'm in a goofy mood it feels like 😆
  12. Certainly not any interest for me...he'll turn 38 during next season and hasn't played in two seasons. I will admit I probably never rated him as high as most of the general public (a lot of Blackhawk hate in my blood) so maybe I am underestimating him. I could see the Jets signing him to bring home the hometown kid for the end of his career.
  13. I believe the Wings wanted Holland to move on from GMing (for Yzerman?) and Holland said no. So I don't know if Nill was ever destined to hang around long enough until ownership forced Holland's hand. It seems like Kenny wanted to hang on as long as possible. Nill's a great GM but he's still won nothing in 12 years in Dallas🫣
  14. I believe you're right about all the holdovers but I'm not 100%. Horcoff has been promoted by Yzerman too.
  15. Chris was with Steve in Tampa Bay for like nine years it isn't like he just did a nepotism hire of someone who is unqualified for fun. He brought a decent amount of Tampa people with him. The dude that Chris "replaced" is now a coach in the Eastern Hockey League after not doing anything for a couple years, so if he was some sort of pro scouting savant he would have certainly been picked up by another NHL team. And it isn't like the Wings' scouting was lighting the world on fire under Holland. But hey it is an easy thing to get upset about if you don't bring any context I guess.
  16. Especially ones done as the result of blatant bribery.
  17. I would expect a bit of a bounceback for Tarasenko (dealing with the death of his father last season), Gustafsson (after looking like one of the worst Wings ever under uncle fester I thought he had some good moments under Todd, just not enough), and Compher (this is just a hope since he isn't THAT old and had a better season two years ago). Holl is in a contract year so maybe he picks it up somehow? I have no hope for Rasmussen, I pray some other team sees his size and thinks he can help them in their bottom six but they're probably stuck with him. Sad he never kept developing when he looked like he was a couple seasons ago then got hurt. He sucks!
  18. I am slightly worried about the miles on his body at this point, but the Wings could really use some of his style of play. He seems like a bastard to play against on the ice. Randomly, my sister in law gave him a few jiu jitsu lessons years back when she was living and training in New York and he's supposedly a very nice guy. So that's cool.
  19. I wouldn't hate it! It would be interesting to see what their trade value is.
  20. Did they say what happened with the grounds crew person? I don't have any volume on for the game sadly.
  21. He would probably have to take a pretty big pay cut relative to what other teams could offer if he signed in Florida. I guess they could fill out their roster with cheap scrubs if they wanted to go that route, but it looks like to me they have a lot of roster spots to fill with the $18.5 million cap space they'll have. Unless I'm reading their situation wrong haha.
  22. I wouldn't be shocked if guys like him and Kreider aren't being shopped around too, but just a guess. Maybe they aren't looking for a hard reset though. I didn't realize Miller had that many years left on his deal, wonder what his game looks like in those last 3 or so years.
  23. Rangers are allegedly shopping K'Andre Miller. I imagine it would be a high-ish price but could be an intriguing avenue for the Wings to bolster their backend
