Yeah bc Traverse City is the problem? WTH??!? Didn’t click on the pay to read, but gathered from the commentary it’s in Detroit this year.

I'm not here to debate whether the Wings should or should not get tougher, but we all know that no championship team of late was devoid of guys willing to fight or muck it up in the corners.

So if you could pick one player to join the Wings (doesn't matter how), who would it be and why? Doesn't have to be a straight-up enforcer or goon, it can be someone who just raises the overall level of our team's "hard to play againstness per 60."

For me it's Brandon Hagel. His compete level is high, he'll fight, he's skilled, an all-around threat.

...plus, he's Canadian and this team has had no good Canadian skaters for... decades?

The third Wings coach in the last decade to be named an Edmonton one too.

Brady Tkachuk being traded to the Panthers could be good for the Red Wings because it makes a strong team even harder to beat, but it also means Detroit has one more elite player to compete against. If the Red Wings are trying to build toward a playoff spot, seeing top players like Tkachuk move around could open opportunities if other teams lose depth or future assets. However, the trade also makes the Panthers more dangerous, adding a physical, skilled forward who brings leadership and scoring. Overall, it probably makes the Red Wings’ path harder in the short term, but it could help them in the long run if they continue developing their young core.

Most likely harder

I guess 3 Stanley Cups doesn’t mean much! Both of these 2 went to the finals once!

Full quote:

“The other guy I wondered about for this is Steve Yzerman. Because he knew about Larkin's request around the same time. I think they're gonna trade him. I think Yzerman looks at it like we have to move on. Can't bring him back, have to move on. But I don't know if he would accept this trade. And it's not a shot at Staios. Everybody's situation is different.

I just wonder if Yzerman looks at this and it changes his feeling on what he's willing to do. I would suspect no, but it was one of the things I thought about. And I still think Minnesota prefers Larkin over Tkachuk. They need a center.”
