🥇🦅🥇5 Seiders in a Trenchcoat (Gold Edition)

@BigDawgMadison @J18M19 He’s the second best 5v5 forward on the team after his linemate, and we missed the playoffs because of shit 5v5 offense. If there were actually a bunch of readily available UFA replacements I’d be all for pushing him down the lineup but it’s the NHL so there isn’t.

@J18M19 @5Seiders So… well then by that logic, play him until he’s 60 🙄 There is not enough depth to hide his liabilities. Yes, the greatest American player 1400 points is a liability to this team winning hockey games in his current role. Age defeats everyone

So let’s talk next season, since the #LGRW started vacation early apparently: MBN-Larkin-Raymond Cat-?-Kane Kasper-Finnie-Mazur Lombardi-Copp-Danielson Appleton The only players unseating a youth here should be outside help. And I don’t want to hear “200ft” about any new guy.

@younger1340 Or you get one of those two and get rewarded by a breakout from a prospect that you play in a spot you’re projecting him to like MBN and top-6 wing. He’s been dominating production in the AHL & has the size to be the heavy F1 that line needs. It all comes down to his offseason.

@5Seiders You are probably right and that’s why this team will easily miss for the 11th fucking season

@GreatLakeMagyar You don’t get the kind of production he did at his age without it. Work ethic has always been a huge part of his profile his entire career.

@5Seiders Worked his ass off is a Ms fantastic type of stretch.

@GreatLakeMagyar I very much disagree on that. The guy is a winner and worked his ass off.

@5Seiders And lastly, if you think we have a locker room issue and you also believe Kane isn’t a part of the issue, I got a bridge to sell you.

@GreatLakeMagyar If we get half his production we’re missing the playoffs again. Our entire reason for missing was because we were shit at 5v5 offense.

@5Seiders I would rather have half his production and someone who plays defense and isn’t a complete liability when the other team has the puck, He’s going to regress aggressively soon, that’s just age We have good prospects, give them a shot, otherwise we’ve learned nothing from holland

@younger1340 That’s not happening between this free agent class and the cost to acquire both players.

@5Seiders MBN can’t be on 1st line, need a 2C and LW1

@TheHockeyInsdr So trade him. Buyout Ras.

@5Seiders And let’s not act like Compher still isn’t under contract

@TheHockeyInsdr without the “jerseys”. It’s a discussion, not a proposal.

@TheHockeyInsdr MBN is a heavy, physical player with a great shot and is rapidly finding his offensive production in GR. A good offseason and it’s not so far fetched. I mention outside help for a reason. This is meant to be a starting point to illustrate what our forward group looks like…

@Busdriver247 @Green_WW We haven’t had the lottery luck to draft players that jump right into the top six. We got lucky with Raymond.

@Green_WW @5Seiders Finnie and MBN are bottom 6 players. There in is the problem

@MrEnjoyThaMoney I mention outside help for that reason. This is meant to be a discussion. This is also me saying that I’d rather get beat up and have one more chance at the lottery next year than see most of these worthless vets next season.

@5Seiders Still way too easy to play against. This team would get absolutely bullied by other teams forechecks. The protas/wilson line, the kastelic line etc would mow them down. We don’t play quick enough to make up for the lack of size and non heavy play.

@Green_WW He was all over the ice, mostly in a good way, produced, and won a lot of draws. He is also a natural center.

@5Seiders Why are so many of you fascinated with Finnie at C? He played like 5 games there and meh.

@GreatLakeMagyar And replace him with? He was our second best forward at 5v5 after his linemate, especially this calendar year. He’s far from the problem and if the rest of the forward group wasn’t so dysfunctional that we missed playoffs everyone would be calling him an ageless wonder.

@5Seiders I’d do away with Kane too

@scottnoah07 Appleton is only here because: 1. He was top 3 in the forwards in hits after Kasper/Finnie 2. He’s on an expiring contract now anyway 3. You need a vet F you don’t care about to be your 13th Ras gets bought out.

@5Seiders If Appleton is anywhere near this roster I riot. And what's your plans for Ras? Waivers?

@Fitzzy73 I figured you’d show up to post something stupid and I was right.

@5Seiders Just no. Also....Lombardi is a career minor leaguer.

@GreatLakeMagyar 😉

@5Seiders There is no point in having danielson play on the fourth line, just trade him for a 2C

@BigDawgMadison You’re not winning anything with a top 6 built on grit either. We had an Abdelkader Helm and Glendening in the top 6 era we do not want to return to. Kane was our second best forward 5v5 in the tight, late season games after his linemate. If anything you upgrade his center.

@5Seiders Remove Kane…. Sorry he can’t come back Unless he gets 3rd line mins and often gets bumped for a 4th liner and this primarily contributes on PP1 I know we lack offense, but more than that we lack grit. We are too easy to play against

@GahmanJeffJeff @DoeJumars Also you can’t build hockey teams like basketball teams.

@DoeJumars They need to do EXACTLY what the Pistons did. Start top down and bring in innovative management. Identify three core players and move on from the rest while surrounding that core properly to make it a more cohesive culture building unit. They won’t though, nepotism runs too deep

lmao hilarious the Red Wings end the season getting bombed like this. This team has 0 self respect, pathetic season, I’d say they should burn that locker room to the ground if the Pistons didn’t use it

@cnagle91 @LGRWProspects Good thing they’re getting ASP, MBN, and Mazur back

@LGRWProspects If the Griffs exit early in the playoffs, it’s going to be partly due to their terrible powerplay. Griffs should have put this one away during the 4 minute pp.

4-2 bad read by Buium and Tralmaks. Another goal where Postava doesn’t have a chance. #GoGRG
