Red Wings Offseason Part 2: Craziness!

Buschy goes a little crazy with the transactions and creates a Detroit Red Wings roster that he thinks is a playoff contender. Realistic? Not really. But who cares! Trades! Free Agents! Buyouts!

I love this!. Buyouts are key. Landing Stamkos and Kane might be a stretch but the lineup looks really good. A little light on physicality but very balanced otherwise. The D would be imposing and the minutes would be allowed to spread over 3 pairings which would keep everybody fresher. Having Fischer as the 13 forward would be a fantastic way to round off your projection. Staggering the goalie situation to allow Cossa and Augustene to mature is also brilliant. Well done!

[@jimjohnson9808]

We are dreaming Buschy if we were to sign both Kane and Stamkos for sure. I don't recall if a team in recent memory ever had three buy outs at once. Holl of course I could see a buyout and maybe Petry as well. Copp that would be a challenge in a real world. Fabbri, and Husso sure a possibility on a trade.

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

That’s why I titled it craziness! Lol

[@jackconrad2667]

Petry and copp won’t be a buyout. It would be dumb. Holl traded or buyout. Petry becomes 7th def. He’s cheap. Copp would be tradable in 25/26. Besides he still is able to win face offs and is good on the pk. Not for 5 mil. But it is what it is. I’m def not against Copp being traded tho. Kane is probably gone. Stamkos is a 50/50 honestly.

[@jackconrad2667]

Fabbri could stay or leave. He plays well enough to stay on that 3rd line. Husso is probably a wing next year. I want him gone. U want him gone. Yzerman wants him gone. He costs too much and is hurt and a 892. If yzerman big move this offseason is moving Husso and bringing in markstrom that would be a crazy move and probably cost a first round pick and 50% retain on husso

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

@@jackconrad2667 well in that case we are way worse than last year

[@wardidly3098]

1 tough guy on the list wont hurt, you don't have to play them every night but its nice to have one if you need them rather than not. I know some of the young guys are big boys that can handle the hits but you never know when you need someone who can take care of business every know and again.

[@jceggert7163]

I dont see Raymond and Seider getting less than 8mil each.

[@thomasbgage]

Patrick Kane aint coming back. YOU BLEW IT!

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

I love how everyone knows this for a fact...

[@thomasbgage]

@@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport I blame Woodward Sports for constantly bashing him every day after he didnt have a multi point game.

[@terolamberg720]

DeBrusk and Zadorov fits nicely

[@stefanpedias4511]

Got the macedonian connection with Stamkos and the illitch family. I wouldn't even discount that knowing the family growing up in Markham

[@jakerux6092]

This would be a dream. In reality, Yzerman has to pull off a miracle in moving off of Holl, Husso, Fabbri and maybe Chiarot. Almost assuredly would have to deal 2/3 of Berggren, Johansson & a 1st.

[@markhertlein4726]

Ok that line up gives me a 5/8ths chub...

[@Mike-ix5sv]

Love it, for the most part. Im with ya, get aggressive. The best way to mitigate that many rc's mistakes is limited, situational minutes in a top heavy lineup. The pushback, as far as realistic, there is no way copp gets bought out. Also there's no way yzerman is going to handle the off season with the mindset that danielson, kasper and mazur will be on the team. They are all gonna have to earn it. Marschasault is a guy i really want them to bring in, even over resigning kane. I generally believe yzerman is looking at alot of the names we hear available on the trade market ( ehlers, necas ). I think our desire for an aggressive off season is closer to reality than not.

[@DONWASABIJUAN]

That Gibson trade is a complete pipe dream lol

[@KevinD-hr2yx]

Great pod brother. Is that a wings hat or a tigers hat?

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

both! they gave them out last year for tigers night at LCA

[@StickinAroundHockey]

I really hope that bringing up too many rookies doesn't backfire on us

[@user-sw3ki2kk9s]

I like Zadorov or Matt Roy. Gibson is a good signing. All those rookies in the forward lines worries me.

[@dt2phillips]

I love that! I would also have Sam Reinhart as another option!

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

He will cost way too much and I’m not convertible taking a massive swing on a one season outlier

[@StickinAroundHockey]

@@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport 100% agree

[@dt2phillips]

@@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport Gotcha.

[@johngolfer9244]

Yes on the buyouts, no on Gibson, yes on the signings, no on Stamkos, definitely yes on Zadorov and Kane. Like the dream team except for Stamkos and Gibson. I'd stick with Husso and bring up Solderblom. Defense is so much stronger that even with the rookies, we'll be at least as good as last year. Definitely keep Fisher for PK.

[@dannik9932]

Well, this certainly is craziness, lol. Edit: My thoughts is that this is OK. I'd rather have a good 2-way Barkov style (not Barky of course) player over both Stammer and Kane. I worry about the forward defense with this lineup. Neither of these guys give much thought to the defensive side, so for me it seems it would be better to go one or the other. I don't want to end up like the Laffs. Not sure who is available as I haven't been keeping too up-to-date on the trades/ufas. Maybe I'll look at cap-friendly before it becomes Captials Unfriendly. D is great! Cool with Gibson.

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

Im personally tired of bringing in these "top 6 2 way players" that dont contribute much. Give me some goals. Improve the defence on the back end and get a goalie to stop pucks

[@dannik9932]

@@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport well that's why I mentioned a Barkov type. Someone who can score, but isn't a black hole defensively.

[@streetsharkz]

would love kane and stamkos but they will both cost more than that

[@Unscheduledsandwich]

Some baaaaad takes

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

I love when people dont elaborate. it says crazy in the title lol

[@detroitdavid1952]

Gibson could end up being an extra year of Husso. His numbers keep getting worse. Stamkos isn't coming to Detroit and Kane could end up back in Chicago. I think Perron resigns for 2 years.

[@dennisgoebel3615]

Chicago just said...not pursuing kane

[@BTScollectables]

Trade a pick in a package deal for J.Holl

[@achillesninja]

Lol.

[@nicholasicon]

Stamkos wont play as well as if he was in TB. Hes that kind of player

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

what does that mean?

[@nicholasicon]

@@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport i just feel like there are some players who play well in a particular system with a particular group of guys. Outside if that they may struggle. Kane is the opposite for example. Hes a natural playmaker. Im hoping im completely wrong. Just the gut feeling i get with stamkos.

[@user-sw3ki2kk9s]

So zero physical presence on the first two lines

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

GOALS WIN GAMES

[@2001lextalionis]

Its a good effort I don't think this is a playoff team

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

They were tied for a playoff spot. This team is better than last years. That’s why i think playoffs

[@ronproietti6050]

This team might be good during the regular season,,,WAY to soft for the playoffs,,actually pretty soft during the season,,NO GRIT !!

[@streetsharkz]

how much meth did you smoke when you thought stamkos was getting 6.3? hes getting 8 minimum.

[@HealthyScratchRedWingsReport]

lmao i didnt smoke anything. if you payed any attention at all i used a site that did the projections so you'll have to ask them where they got their meth
