Red Wings GDTs: March 2025

[Hongbit]

Do you think he buys, sells, or does nothing today?

I think he should be looking to sell but will be buying.   The standings say they are still in the playoff hunt but they have a tough schedule and many teams to overcome for just 2 wc spots.

Any other GM in the league would be concerned about their job status and would 100% be buying to try to save their job.    Since Yzerman has a special relationship with Chris, I don’t think his job is one the line at all.

i dont think they do much.  maybe fiddle around the margins.

[buddha]

i expect them to be active in the free agent market this year, but not to be giving away assets at this trade deadline.

Larkin scores from behind the goal line.

Dom Shine fight tonight, love to see it

[slothfacekilla]

Welp Larkin is hurt

[buddha]

terrible turnover by larkin leads to a shorthanded goal for washington.

[slothfacekilla]

Awful start for the third.  Talbot should have had that shorthander.

[buddha]

and just like that its 3-2.

chychrun can take the puck and wander right into a great area, tarasenko is just standing and watching him skate, and he puts one past talbot.

terrible.

time for some draft prospect previews!

[lordstanley]

Caps score early in the 3rd and the Wings trail 3-2. Scorer is Chychrun, another player that with some creativity the Wings probably could have acquired in the past year or two.

or they could have just drafted him inatead of taking cholowski.

[slothfacekilla]

Shameful third period by the wings after playing so well in the first half of the game

[buddha]

great passing by the caps and its 4-2.  another soft one from talbot.

[lordstanley]

4-2. Nice shot, but Talbot MUST start stopping those. 

[buddha]

who knew one injury to andrew copp would result in a total team collapse.

[buddha]

the wings were up 2-1 with a two minute power play and 5 minutes later youre losing 4-2.

[lordstanley]

5-2. Shorthanded goal. Total collapse. This week, this month.

[Tigerbomb13]

Woof. This team just gives up at this time every year. 

[buddha]

another shorthanded goal.

another TERRIBLE PLAY BY GUSTAFFSON, as he fails to keep the puck in and no one bothers to cover for him leads to a breakaway.

abaolutely pathetic 3rd period from the usual suspects.

[lordstanley]

My daughter arrived home from college for spring break last Thursday.  The Wings have gone 0-5 while she's home. Good news (only from a Wings' perspective), she returns to Montreal later tonight! Our luck might turn.

This team is just, annually...

Too, too frail.

And/or Draft Position Watch:

We're basically tied at the 13th spot at the moment but... do we move further up the draft or win a few games and move back by season's end...?

This team is a reflection of its GM.  No sense of urgency and a lack of accountability for not winning.  

[Shinzaki]

The annual signs that spring is coming...the buzzards come back, the frogs start calling and the Wings tank their way out of playoff contention.

Will this be the year we get some lottery luck?  Be nice to get a crack at an explosive scorer like Michael Misa

As it sits right now..there are 7 guys on this team I'd like to see next year.  Raymond, Larkin, Kasper, Cat, Mo, Edvinsson and Johansson...maybe 8 if you think Elmer belongs.  The rest of them?  Meh...

i do wonder what they could have gotten for rasmussen this deadline.  third line centers were going for first and second rounders...
