Sadly back to hoping the Wings finish last in the league. They have a big lead now. Have played two less games than NJ and the same amount as LA. NJ has 23 points and LA 24 to the Wings 17. Already looking at the top picks in 2020. You are correct Chris the Wings don't have ..."the one". ..yet. Short term I loaded up on Jets tonight on my fantasy team. They should light it up!

Really hard being a Detroit fan right now. For their 25 year playoff run the Wings were a welcome respite from the annual ineptness of the Lions. The Tigers and Pistons came through a few times. Based on the consecutive selliuts at The Big House Hockeytown would be Football town had the Lions had the Wing’s success. Could be worse I guess, but right now we’re bottom feeder.

My understanding is that if you finish last in the league then you can't do worse than a top three pick. Worst case scenario is 3rd pick overall and the 1st pick in the second round. Still thinking a AA trade would get the Wings another high pick and if the draft is that deep then it would be worth it. |

We need some draft picks than can be immediate impacts and possibly become franchise players. I hope we get the top lottery pick  Mantha, Larkin and Bertuzzi are good players obviously not a lot of impact here. We need to get rid of Green, Nielsen, Filpula, Ericsson, Abdlekader and anyone else with a bloated cap it per performance. I'd like to see Yzerman make some drastic changes...weed out any player who is counter productive to our rebuild. We screwed up spending too much on 2 goalies and the above mentioned players. Seriously....Nielson at 5.25 mill and one point (an assist) is just squashing development of younger players who chances are would produce more and have less of a cap hit. Trim the fat starting this trade deadline, buyout others if we have to and start with a clean slate with an entire new coaching staff. We know what we have and both guys should not be coaching this team. Its time to move on... |

TSN trade bait list. FYI www.tsn.ca/trade-bait-toronto-maple-leafs-facing-deadline-with-zach-hyman-nearing-return-1.1390355AA is number 8 on the group of 15. Makes sense. He's not playing to his potential at the moment and he's not a leader. He's a guy who you add to a cup contender who can bring speed and would be great on a third line where he doesn't go against the top defensive group. Would like to get a 1st rounder for him even if it means adding a 2nd or 3rd rounder going the other way. Wings need more 1st round picks. There is still time but there appears to be no interest in Howard or Bernier. Quick is available by LA and that could be the reason. |

I love the semi lightning in a bottle from AA, its exciting when it happen but he's a defensive liability with being -35 player with only 16 points. I'd be fine using him for trade bait. Does he have a NTC?
AA -35
Filppula -25
Cholowski -22
Green -18 and only has played 27 games
I get being on a sucky team that no one is going to have a favorable +/- but damn...only + players are Helm and De La Rose.
