Detroit is in a weird situation roster-wise, in that they have 4 wingers (Vrana, Bertuzzi, Fabbri, and Zadina) returning all around the same time, and while they called up Jonatan Berggren as a replacement, he's playing too well to be sent back down. On top of that, They grabbed Magnus Hellberg off of waivers and he's been outplaying Nedejkovic for the backup job, so for the time being they're also carrying 3 goalies.

I guess Yzerman is banking on no one claiming $11 million over the next two years for a guy fresh out of PAP?

If I'm a goalie I'm definitely not trying to fight Binnington, he seems like the type to go Dan Cloutier mode and straight up try and kill you on the ice.

I should ask some old classmates to find out if this is actually true or just a joke, but the story around my high school was that Taylor Hall got busted for cheating on a science test, and the big tip-off was that he got a 70. I guess his punishment was to make more money than every student and teacher in that school combined.

I remember Raty being an underrated favorite in his draft, wasn’t he at one point was even considered top-3? He has looked pretty promising at the NHL level. Solid prospect for sure.

iirc he made the Finnish WJHC team at 16, got some first overall hype, then stagnated so badly that he didn't make the team at 17

I remember an Athletic article like four years ago where some writers fantasy drafted one player/coach/GM/owner/city or something, and somebody tried to galaxy-brain it by taking Raty as their player

I’m curious what happened between Vrana and the team, from the outside it looks like he’s being punished for seeking treatment

Remember when Mantha scored in his first four games as a Capital, and then Vrana had a four-goal game, and we all thought that was a win-win trade?

He's seemingly found his legs again, in the AHL at least:

On the list of the silliest semantic arguments I've seen in the NHL N/V thread, that's got to be one of the lowest

Yeah this is a great read

I liked him saying that Chris Chelios went to Detroit "in the latter part of his prime". He was 37 years old! And he's not even wrong!

As for real three-way trades, there was one with Tampa, Detroit and... San Jose(?) back in the day. I think it involved Matt Carle and a first round pick that would turn into Vasilevsky.

The Vasilevskiy pick was traded essentially straight up for the immortal Kyle Quincey. Another Ken Holland masterpiece.

N: Red Wings call up Jakub Vrana, which there's probably no point doing if they're just going to buy him out, and then scratch him on back to back nights, which there's probably no point doing if you want to showcase him for a trade.

V: Just re-sign the Larkin, do whatever spell Montreal did to convince GMs that Ben Chiarot was worth a first-round pick, and get all this poo poo sorted Steve, it's killing me

This thread is more depressing than usual.

All the bubble teams in the East are getting passed by Detroit, and all of RWAS knows it's only a matter of time before Ville Husso stops putting up a .940 sv% and they're back in the toilet

Walman's been excellent this year, and now is locked up for a mere 0.716 Ben Chiarots for the next three seasons.
