Thee Official 2023-2024 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Why, Jake, Why

[Grand Moff Larkin]

My gut is that Talbot/Lyon do a good bit better than Lyon/Reimer/Husso, the Wings are marginally better in the standings (like 3-4 points) but miss the playoffs by a hair again.

NJ will 100% be back in the mix, and I’m not sure that the Islanders or Lightning will both fall off. The Caps should be better too but I felt like their team last year was kind of a fluke so who knows.

Veleno re-upped for two years, 2.275 per

Habs fans seem disappointed, apparently they wanted to trade for him? Weirdos

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I wonder if any progress has been made on Raymond or Seider's contracts

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Auston Watson signed a PTO with the Wings

Ugh, hopefully Mazur or Danielson or Kasper makes the team

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Raymond gets 8.075 x 8

Sure, fine, glad he’s in camp, now do Seider

[practice]

every player in the leagues should make 8m per

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Seider gets 8.55 per, seven years

Sure man

Wouldn’t have minded an eighth year

[practice]

every player in the leagues will make 8m per

Dom L. put the Wings as the most likely to underperform their point estimate (90.5) and while I'm not necessarily confident that they'll make the playoffs, I very much want him to lose a lot of money betting against them

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Czarnik signed in Europe, real happy he won’t get called up to the Wings this season for low-event appearances

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Dom's model predicting 80.5 points for the Wings this year

I don't see a ten point drop happening

How do I fix the Twitter/X links NA

The only way I've found is to paste it and then replace twitter.com with twitter.com. I tried doing a word replace but that doesn't do it. I assume I need to update a plug-in or something.

Austin Watson is on a PTO for the Wings (groan) and some fans really want him to make the team because he’s throwing hits like a maniac in the preseason. I checked the box score for tonight’s game and he has 27 PIM while Marco Kasper has two goals.

I won’t watch preseason hockey because that’s Sicko Behavior but hopefully the Wings prioritize the right guy here.

(I don’t think either of them will make the team to start)

[Grand Moff Larkin]

The big questions for the Wings now that the preseason is done:

Did Kasper make it? Did Watson make it? Who would get sent down if they did? Husso, Holl, Berggren seem like possibilities.

I think Husso played well enough in preseason that Holl goes to GR.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Holl got waived, Kasper sent to GR

Sorry NA

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Can’t say I’m shocked

Looking forward to Berggren getting benched for him

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Watson was waived to send down to GR, he's on a two-way deal

They're doing 12 / 8 / 3 to start.
