You can tell that all these people yapping about Larkin have never had to lead a group of people in anything.
The DNA of the roster makeup is conflicted.
You have 3 guys in 53, 71, and 93 who seem to always have their motors going. That’s in their DNA. You can make the argument for a couple other guys to be in this group too.
Then you have a few other guys who are capable of having their motors going but it’s too inconsistent. Couple games here and there but can’t put it all together or are too young and still figuring it out. They are either too inconsistent to know what their DNA is or are young and still figuring that out. This leads to a mixed bag of good and bad output.
Then you have the rest (which is like seemingly half) who have their motors going once a month or less. Too many guys who treat two-thirds (or more) of the season as cardio and nothing else. That is their DNA, hard for them to have a reliably helpful output due to lack of talent, effort or care (idk what it is). Completely unreliable when the pressure is turned way up.
Maybe the “boss” (ownership; management) should hire better “employees” (players) who aren’t just looking for a paycheck and are looking to be a part of a solution for the Detroit Red Wings Hockey Club. All you’re doing is screwing over the core by surrounding them with “bad employees” who “call in” way too often.
What are Larkin, DeBrincat, and Seider supposed to do about all that other than continuing to be the best players on the roster night in and night out?

@georgemalik Wow the captain can only inspire himself to play with passion and not his teammates, WHICH IS HIS JOB

@DB56522 @RedWingDiehards Also you need to learn how to talk to people. Learn to be an adult.
English

@BeyondXGoals @RedWingDiehards They're what ifs they pan out to their potentials but yeah sure keep being a moron
English

@DB56522 @RedWingDiehards To them it's not a gamble. To them it's developing players.
They spend millions of dollars to get these players to reach their "potentials" and beyond.
English

@DB56522 @RedWingDiehards That whole "what if" is just your opinion. They see them as real assets.
English

@BeyondXGoals @RedWingDiehards And again if he's planning on waiting years to do this rebuild still he has got to acquire real assets. Not a bunch of what ifs
English

@DB56522 @RedWingDiehards I think that's what you're struggling to understand. He's trying to build that "good fucking team" through the draft. His oldest draft pick is 24. Just entering his prime.
English

@BeyondXGoals @RedWingDiehards Yeah and he hasn't the sole reason they won because they built a good fucking team what is so hard to grasp about that
English

@mortimersmith__ @RedWingVictory I don't mind that. It can be really hard on some young guys though. But if you look around the league plenty of young guys enter the league and are successful.

How does Mo do it every game when the forwards do literally nothing

@bshebib39 @ProfessorLGRW I'm not too worried about what you're embarrassed about.
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW I'm actually embarrassed for you sharing the same shot
Seek help
English

But @BeyondXGoals and @ProfessorLGRW will tell you this is part of the grand plan. Trust the Yzer-process!!!
Fools. All of you
Red Wings Diehards™@RedWingDiehards
It’s the Red Wings centennial season and we got: - Hockeytown @ Center Ice - Another late season collapse - The longest active playoff drought in the NHL
English

@madebymolnar @RedWingDiehards That's very true. We've had some success with attracting talent (Cat and Kane) but it's nowhere near what it used to be.
English

@BeyondXGoals @RedWingDiehards When the wings were successful it was because they got the Russian players to come to the US. The Wings have been completely boned in the draft lottery, this rebuild is going to take time.
English

@mortimersmith__ @RedWingVictory I personally would but they seem to place a lot of value in letting them lead a minor league team.
English

@BeyondXGoals @RedWingVictory Why not call a couple of them up now while you’re still relatively in the hunt though? It’s not like anyone is gonna claim Ras, Compher, Appleton, Copp, Talbot etc
Cossa would be a spark and give Gibby a break, same with MBN over listless Ras / Appleton. Do something different
English

Ideally that will happen. He'll head into the season with a lot of the same dead weight but he'll give Kasper, Finnie, Danielson, MBN, and ASP the opportunity to work their way into those positions.
Kasper, Finnie, and ASP just never really seized that opportunity this year. But as they continue developing they'll outperform Copp and them and take those spots.
English

@BeyondXGoals @RedWingVictory So do you think he’ll cut the dead weight in the offseason (yes buyouts and not resigning dead people) and let more of the kids play next year?
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW Oh I answered it.
Your head is just too far up Yzermans ass to understand
English


@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW You're adorable
You also support failure.
English

I guess you can put a time frame to it. But the goal is to fill the top 9 forwards and top 4 defensemen with prospects.
So far we've only really filled one forward spot and two defensive spots.
Kasper and Finnie are developing themselves into two more of the forward spots and ASP is developing into a defensive spot.
The goal has always been to rebuild through the draft. If the prospects begin to fail to meet their expectations then the seat will get hot.
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW No, I just don't fold to your propaganda
You have to know how dumb you look. 3 players in 7 years? Lifeless no fight team?
At least Yzerman warned us.
English


@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW Bro you've embarrassed yourself
You proudly touted 3 players in 7 fucking years
You support a lifeless team with no leadership like it's your job ..
You absolutely suck at this.
English

@bshebib39 @ProfessorLGRW 😂😂😂 So soft. Can't even answer a question.
You can make fun of the wings all you want but I've handed you more L's this week than they've had all season.
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW Fuck you dude.
I don't owe you shit.
Answer my question asshole.
Should we accept 3 players in 7 years?
Go ahead. Defend that
English

@bshebib39 @ProfessorLGRW Answer the question or I'm never responding to you again.
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW He started drafting 7 years ago.
How old are they?
English

@bshebib39 @ProfessorLGRW Do you think a team should be full of 18, 19, and 20 year olds?
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW He started drafting 7 years ago.
That excuse is done.
And did you see rhe "too young" team kick our ass today?
Plenty of time to have had better roster management
He's. Failed. Own. It.
English

@bshebib39 @ProfessorLGRW Do you think a team should be full of 18, 19, and 20 year olds?
English

@BeyondXGoals @ProfessorLGRW Huh?
I don't give a shit about year 2.
It's year 7.
Focus, bro.
