Thats one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.... lol.

Language kids -

You can be sick of it all you want. Wings need 1 more year. Lions are your best bet this year. Pistons are 1 or 2 years away.... Tigers are about 2 or 3 years away from relevance........ They are the prime example of when you quit a rebuild too early. The other three Detroit teams should take notes. Avila quit too early and now they are stuck in no mans land. If the Wings sellout now, it will screw em over. If they wait one more year, they will be a lot better positioned to be competitive for the next decade.........

1 more year.

Just think though..... if they "hit" and become MLB players, it opens up trades. I say take the highest ceiling possible. Remember, we got guys from the Rays front office and Dodgers front office doing our draft now. This feels like Rays and Dodger picks already and I'm all for it. Don't get me wrong. I wish we got Langford over Clark when he was drafted. But the more I think about it, Clark could be the next Byron Buxton with 20 HR's annually instead of 30. I'll take that all day long.

Dang I wanted White. I want McGonigle or Cole Schoenwetter.

High Upside position player. I hate to say this, but I'd rather see a pitcher.......

K. Houcks sister or GF is by far the hottest chick on the draft so far...........

I'm afraid we get him and he scores 10 goals next season.......

You're dreaming. We gonna suck next year. But I have a feeling thats it after that. We'll be sellers at the deadline and call up a lot of prospects next year I'm thinkin. Then when free agency starts, we gonna sign some good boys to go with the young core. Hopefully we'll be trading our first and second rounders to suppliment all that. We will have a nice team after next year I'm guessing.

I think Yzerman is doing this correctly. Al Avila quit the rebuild too early. Now the Tigers are stuck in Purgatory........ Yzerman needed to use his top 5 draft picks this year in a "deep" draft. With the way our farm team was and especially now after adding 5 more good players, we are pretty well stocked. I could totally see some of these players that we signed this off-season traded at the deadline and allow prospects to come up. I fully expect the Red Wings to be really aggressive next year in FA and trades. I will be very surprised if we use any of our 1st or 2nd round picks next year that we have. I think between trades and FA next year as well as our prospects coming up, we are in great shape going forward..... This was always going to be the last wait and see year. We are set up perfectly for next year and beyond to make some big noise........

https://thehockeywriters.com/2024-nhl-draft-rankings-early-top-16/ - Looks like another deep draft coming up.

Dang. So which wings Lost their jobs.....?

I'm just glad he used the top 5 picks. Supposidly our farm system was pretty strong going into the draft. Adding 5 more talents should be enough. Now next year we can trade the 1sts and 2nd rounders for immediate talent. I'm good w/ being done with the rebuild now. Next off season I say it's time to buy some stuff instead of window shopping....... We have talent coming up the pipeline so its time to finish it off. Yzerman did it the right way. Avila quit the Tigers rebuild too early..... Glad Yzerman stuck to his guns and did it right imo.

Dunno why. But reminds me of Abdelkater (?), sorry not a big hockey guy. But didn't he take boxing lessons so he could fight people and get a good contract? Or was that someone else.......?

That dude looks awesome. Blocks a shot then beats the crap out of three guys.... I Like it!

lombardi buchelnikov You made those two up.....

I am so glad Stevie didn't trade these picks. I want him to take all 3 second round picks. After that, he can do whatever he wants from there on out. If we don't have a good enough farm system after adding 5 players in a "deep draft" then I don't know we ever will be. He can trade both of next years first rounders for a young player.... Very happy he stuck here with these two picks. Keep the next 3 then do whatever you want afterwards........

Dariq Whitehead will be steal of the draft. Mark my words.

You think the Pistons should of tried to hire Dan Campbell? I mean, it did work out for Richmond hiring Ted Lasso........

Guess we are trading this pick.......

Forgive my ignorance of not knowing a lot about football.... But aren't you praying 1st round DE's give you 10 sacks in a season? They basically picked this guy up for free and will get at least two seasons out of him for essentially nothing.... Why would a team sell so cheap? And why can't we trade all of our picks for proven All-star talent and win the Superbowl? Based on this logic, we should be able to get the best CB in the game for a 2nd rounder, the best O-line player for a 3rd.... Why would a team trade a stud player for nothing? I get salary relief, but if this guy got 10 sacks, HOW did they not get a 1st or 2nd rounder out of it? That makes no sense at all........

I would just like one more year of depth before we go hog wild. I don't see the benefit of trading guys and picks just to "hopefully" make the playoffs.... I'd rather add five supremely talented prospects to our pipeline this year then start selling pieces next year for a larger push. But meh, I dunno much bout the NHL. Al Avila quit the rebuild too early. That was his problem. I just hope Stevey Y doesn't do the same thing with the wings.... After this draft, he should be solid for a while with a great farm. Winning must almost always come from within......

If this draft is really deep (albeit with two main studs at the top), wouldn't Yzerman be better off using both 1st rounders and all 3 second rounders this draft? I don't know a lot about the NHL but everything I hear from ESPN and other sources say this is one of the deepest drafts there's been in a while. I also hear at the same time Yzer might package some picks for a player. Isn't the smart money to roll the dice with the 5 players this year in a deep draft?

We still have a lot of cap space. Time for Teddy.
