Also in the Datsyuk trade they got Filip Hronek with the second round pick who I think is more notable than Cholowski at this point.

[@hockeyinalabama]

I disagree with your comment on notability, but it was a big miss in talking about how this trade has gone so far. Hronek and Cholowski for Chychrun may end up being one of their best trades outside if the two future considerations.

[@trentthurow5696]

For me I think Hronek looks like a little better prospect than Cholowski so far. Hronek had 23 points in 46 games this year for the wings and was named the best d-man at the world championships a couple months ago. I like Cholowski a lot but he still has work to do defensively and I like Hronek being a RHD who although not very big has a lot of fight to him.

[@hockeyinalabama]

@@trentthurow5696 In this very moment, I could agree. I still think Cholowski has the higher ceiling though.

[@Muskegon333]

Great job! I would like to add two things that are extremely important to the success of the Wings in the modern era. Mike Ilitch, who bought the team in 1982, was the man who layed the groundwork and had the vision to turn the Red Wings around. The second is something that is often overlooked. In 1995 Bowman was also put in charge of player personnel. While Holland may have officially made the trades, Bowman was the brains behind them. Look at the trades before and after Bowman to see the difference. Next, the 2nd Yzerman era.

The '83 draft was not a bad one. Other Hall of Famers in the top 10, besides Yzerman at 4, were Pat LaFontaine drafted 3rd by the Islanders and Cam Neely drafted 9th by the Canucks. Other players of note drafted by Detroit that year were Bob Probert (3rd round #46), Petr Klima (5th round #86), Joe Kocur (5th round #88) and the Grim Reaper, Stu Grimson (10th round #186). Grimson went back into the 1985 draft and was drafted 143rd in the 7th round by Calgary I'm guessing because Detroit didn't sign him. However, he was reacquired later and played for Detroit during the '94-'95 season through 1 game in the '96-'97 season before waived and claimed by the Whalers, during their last season before moving to Carolina.

I know what you mean, but part of me is very understanding of the fact that we all have teams that we dislike for any number reasons. Of course the other part of me doesn't understand how anyone could not like them and the wonderful history and stories with the Detroit Red Wings. So many dreams fulfilled for so many people, and a city that has/had fallen on hard times has something to cheer about and be proud of once again. Saying Detroit had fallen on hard times was a great understatement. The Red Wings were the only thing we had to make us feel good about Detroit. The 42 year cup drought was ended and what you could argue was a dynasty began. The Russian five, the grind line, dozens of deserving players, and many super stars.... When I say it like that, I really don't understand what is not to like about that. People don't like to admit it, but a large part of the ire towards the Wings comes out of jealousy. I've noticed that a lot of those that dislike the Wings are fans whose teams haven't experienced comparable accomplishments in their lifetime. Most of the teams that I disliked back then I have come around to respect and appreciate, so I suppose that could happen for others too. At the end of the day I don't need every single person in the world to agree with me. I disagree with other hockey fans very often, and that is to be expected with such the vast topic that is Hockey. We all don't need to feel the same way about everything.

[@sdgakatbk]

Agree about the original Production Line. Jack Adams made at least 2 flaky trades in the 50's. After the Wings won the '55 cup, he traded the best goalie in the league at the time to Boston. There were other players for both teams in this deal, but Boston clearly won. Then due to trying to start a players union, Ted Lindsay and Glenn Hall were traded to Chicago. Chicago wins a cup in '61 with Hall in net. Agree about Larionov. I was a Caps and Sharks fan for a time in the 90's and so I'd catch the Sharks every time I could, (both in DC and in Florida when visiting family). I think I got to see him a few times. As to Larry Murphy wasn't just Toronto. The fans in Washington were too hard on Larry Murphy in his last seasons with the Caps and it may have affected his confidence. No, he wasn't a banger, but he was effective and was their best offensive defenseman when the Caps had him. So he has how many cups-he got the last laugh. Chelios was a fitness freak. He'd take a stationary bike in the sauna and work out.

Couple of points - granted that Stevie Y. was a huge, major figure in the Wings' renaissance, but you can't ignore that just about the same time in the early '80s Mike Illich bought the team. Without Mr. I's dedication and pocketbook the future in Detroit would not have been as rosy. Second, Larry Murphy was definitely a good D man, and important to the team's success in the late '90s, but look who his D partner was for the most part - Nick Lidstrom.

Crozier was a very good goaltender, but he could have been great. He ultimately drank his way out of the league, and booze kept him from ever matching his remarkable rookie season.

Funny that if you look at the most celebrated coaches in Red Wings history, they're nearly all aggressive pricks and micromanagers: Mike Babcock, Scotty Bowman, and Jack Adams. The only celebrated "players coach" that I can think of is Tommy Ivan, and he (like Ted Lindsay and Glenn Hall) was exiled to Chicago because he refused to be a yes man for Jack Adams.

The problem with holland was he invested too much into players that didn’t have a high ceiling, and he is terrible with contracts, resigning cleary every year for like 5 seasons when he wasn’t even AHL material, the modano contract, the alfredsson contract, and I know there’s a bunch more that I can’t think of, another problem was his obsession with making Howard our franchise starter, Howard is a 25 game backup AT BEST, he never even thought about making big trades, which would have been nice in those last couple of years he was here, and I feel like these last couple of years not letting younger players enter the league early, in today’s nhl that’s not a good thing, I personally think he stunted mantha’s growth as a player, Tatar should have been in the league earlier than he was, I’m just so glad he’s gone, his style of managing is out-dated, I think he’ll build a good team in Edmonton but I don’t think he’s the guy to bring them to the promise land, as a wings fan I MUST say good riddance

Keeping Cleary instead of having Gus Nyquist up to start I believe 13-14 should have gotten him fired on the spot. Cleary was a desiccated corpse of his former self at that point and Nyquist eventually came up and scored at a 40 goal pace and carried the wings into the playoffs. The Modano and Alfredsson contracts were fine in my opinion as they were only one year deals, Modano didn’t work out but Alfredsson was very good that season he was with the wings. He was way to loyal to players he drafted like Helm who never should have gotten the deal he did or Abby who should be paying Datsyuk at least half of his contract.
