i am the bird posted:Helene St. James, who essentially writes on behalf of Holland, suggested the Red Wings go after Vanek and one of Daley or Girardi. her whole logic was basically "tanking...BAD!" because colorado ended up with the 4th pick, which she probably doesn't realize is way better than the 9th pick. otoh, ken holland could get 1st overall and gently caress it up. e: for anyone that wants to read this garbage quote:The goal for the Wings next season is to make the playoffs.

clean ayers act posted:It's not even tanking to just roll the young kids out there and see how they do. What you shouldn't do is go out and sign a bunch of middling players who will make the team slightly more competitive and end up with a lower draft pick as a result. It's just slowing down the process and taking roster spots from other players.

i am the bird posted:The Wings are apparently still in talks with Vanek, but I guess the hitch is shedding salary elsewhere. Despite having all the trappings of an idiotic Holland move, signing Vanek on the cheap and shipping him out at the deadline would probably be worth it. hosed up thing is the wings offered him a five year deal. you know, because they dont have enough lovely contracts.

i think, at this stage, you have to be very incompetent as a GM to sign a player to a bad contract.

Especially if your just a break even team, that puts you into a profit. but...why do i care about how much the owners make, especially since they will almost assuredly not pass on any savings to fans?

hifi posted:Tatar was the red wing who was saying this was going to be his last contract with the red wings if it went to arbitration, right? should have let it go to arbitration, one year deal, then trade him. but because holland is in charge, they're rebuilding but not really rebuilding. like, what team says they're "rebuilding" then loads their roster up with more lovely contracts. and what team that's "rebuilding" says their stated goal is to just make the playoffs.

i dont know if that contract is fair or not. (it's probably an overpayment but honestly it's irrelevant.) what i do know is tatar is one of the very few tradable assets they have left. by the time that contract is up he'll be 30, worthless in terms of trade value, and the wings will still suck.

i am the bird posted:Tatar has good possession numbers, has been consistently healthy, and is probably a more reliable 50+ point guy if he didn't play on this shithole team. exactly. he's a solid player that can contribute to a good team, a waste on a basement dwelling team i.e. the Detroit Red Wings National Hockey League Franchise. right now he has value that can be traded for picks at least, a prospect (or two???) if you're lucky. honestly that contract is probably fair market value, especially given the term. and if i was holland i'd be doing the same thing--hoping this team bounces back and squeaks into the playoffs. it's the only way he keeps his job.

Why there are Detroit Red Wings logos at the Nazi rally in Charlottesvillequote:This weekend’s Nazi demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia, are an ugly reminder of our current situation. Since Friday night, the Unite The Right rally has brought together various factions representing white supremacy, white nationalism, fascism, and Nazis to the University of Virginia for marches an violence. It’s a sobering reality, and it takes on a pall of surreality when you notice all the Detroit Red Wings logos among the crowd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiPWPlUZu00 From the Wings FB page: jesus loving christ
