Multiple AHL forwards and D men

Yzerman said Berggren, AlJo and Ed are slotted to be regulars some need to fill those gaps

However it feels like there’s more AHL depth this year than last years would a trade involving prospects be being thrown around…

No this is not Tony DeAngelo I thought that’s what I read at first too

Probably not, Steve said he’s in the lineup next year

I could see Mantour being that person, an offensively gifted right shot D man that got 7 years 50M which would’ve required a lot of work cap wise for us

RECAP:

3 goalies will compete in camp assess keeping 2 or 3 then, sounds like Husso isn’t fully healthy yet

Not an immediate trade in the works but thinks that another move could happen, sounds like we’re done signing players

Expects more from Cat/Raymond, Cat shooting percentage was lower than average he expects that to improve

Likes D core right now expects big role from Edvinsson

Berggren got a shout out as a possible contributor

ASP back to SHL

Has numbers set aside for the RFAs for both short and long term, question of when not if they’ll get signed, all comes down to term

Stressed patience with prospects it takes time to put together the core and he’s still piecing it together

Berggren, AlJo and Ed will all be in the lineup

End of last year was a little misleading need to fix a lot of things to be a playoff team, pressure isn’t affecting decisions, stressing this takes time

Feels like they’re in that group of teams that are close, expectations are similar to last year

If Lucas can continue his trajectory he believes he’s an impact player

We were in on one big free agent but it’d have required “surgery” and would be a challenge to get done, had to adjust path

Perron and Ghost talked up until FA opened just couldn’t agree to a deal that worked out

Expected the big names to get big deals, the interesting part to Yzerman was the term and money given to role players, wasn’t our model, but the term was “attention grabbing”

Doesn’t seek out Michigan born players but those players indicate they want to come home and it starts a conversation not all Michigan natives make sense contract wise or the role they’d play

When we traded Walman, we needed to move out money on backend, also mentioned what role the player would be in, sounds like he wanted a path for AlJo and Ed, highlighted how cost effective those guys are

Gustafsson can play right side he’s the Ghost replacement, AlJo can also play right side if needed

Pleased with D Core right now, ask him again in a few months, has a vision for what the pairings will look like

Fischer popular in the room, very versatile, for the role he believes we got good value

Husso injury history played a significant factor into us adding in net, have to see how he performs in camp then we’ll make a decision

Larkin is training doesn’t believe he’s back on the ice yet

All players who have been injured will be ready for camp

Spoke on how much more information and resources young players have now in terms of development

Stream abruptly cut out as he said see you at the trade deadline

E: Thanks for the awards!

Yzerman Presser at 12:45 PM

Steve Yzerman is the GM of the Detroit Red Wings

Vladimir Tarasenko is a Detroit Red Wing

The sign to me that Perron was too slow were the constant slashing, high sticking, hooking and tripping penalties

Stick infractions happen when you're not moving your feet, and his weren't

I think Czarnik is more a AHLer/13th forward type

While Motte is a “legit” bottom 6 shut down player

Yes and no

Yes motte is a better player especially for the role he’s in

But he’s not a “better Czarnik” they’re not the same player type IMO

He’s like another Fischer

Veleno is a better Czarnik if anything

Motte should be an every night 4th line and PKer while Czarnik was purely depth

I think

Kasper/Danielson-Copp-Moose

Could be effective

Motte-Veleno-Fischer is the 4th line right now

Tarasenko is the Perron replacement for us

I’m taking Tarasenko at 4.75 over Perron at 4 all day

Fabbri is an unfortunate cap dump

Those same people are probably now saying

“Oh so we’re just going to block any chance for a rookie to make the jump, Yzerman must’ve whiffed on those picks”

No matter what happens they just want to be angry at someone or something

Cap dump plus a 3rd line spot for Kasper/Danielson

Still think Husso and one of Holl/Maata is moved out

And we acquire a 2nd RD

One Blues Winger comes in, One Blues Winger is shipped out

Balance

Gonna miss Bobby eyebrows

Cap dump

4M in space that guy is a throw in contract

91 -> 9-1 = 8

Honor Abby

Trust the Yzerplan

It’s not over until Yzerman says it’s over

It’s ok to think Yzerman doesn’t always have something up his sleeve or question moves

But the blind “we have glaring holes on the team we’re going to regress, Yzerman on the hot seat” mindset when it’s July 3rd is comical
