If he doesn't get an A, I'll be mad.

@@LilyCWfan22 me too, it's a Franchise standard ... Larkin is Captain, Perron can keep an A but Chariot's needs to go to Seider

If they play together.. remember the wings defense is still very bad. Have to split the talent up somehow. Walman will be back too

Most things say that they do not play in the same line. RW doesn't have the luxury of having these together today or tomorrow, such a decision is further in the future. Personally, I'm very happy to see that Simon really raised Petry's game. However, my criticism to Stevie remains, what exactly does he see in Petry's game that he reportedly "likes", because I myself do not like at all what I see from him and Holl e.i as they both remain a mystery to me.

​@@billjohansson88Hes a vet who could help our young guys. Im sure Edvinsson appreciates playing with an experienced defenseman. Getting Petry and having Montreal and Pittsburgh eat most of his contract is a good deal. I think he has 1yr remaining at 1.5 million. his original contract was over 6 million a year, i believe? You can never have enough defenseman. Yzerman learned that from Scotty Bowman. Our young defensemen prospects aren't ready yet. Except Edvinsson. So we have to have some veteran d-man. And Petry at 1.5 million is a good deal. Now, the Holl contract was a bad deal. Im hoping he can have a bounce back year. Bring his trade value up lol.

@@Detwhat The business aspects of the deal I can understand 100%. But it is stated in several sources that Mr. Y actually likes Petry. Then we have the debacle with Holl, that deal is one of the sickest things S.Y has done. It's stated (don't know if it's true) that he thought he couldn't get Petry at first, so to create depth like you say he went for Holl and ends up getting both (omfg). When it comes to Vets, it goes without saying that all teams need these types of players, whether it's word of mouth or active support during matches, hands down.

That would remind me of like a Suter and Weber type pairing. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Besides Lidstrom and Konstantinov or Lidstrom and Rafalski

Strong minded!😂💪 That's my DEFENSEMAN!..

Plus 50 points

Too bad it’s basically a points race, so it’ll probably be some defensive black hole like Karlsson who wins it again.

Why would he get votes lol, he didn't have a good year

​@@jesse223karlson had a bad year even with points. Quin Hughes had almost double his points and played well defensively. Cale Makar is right there too. Seider is great but still not close to those two currently.

⁠@@jessegagnon7721Agreed. It’d be nice to see him get votes, but it’s basically a Makar and Hughes race when they’re healthy.

Seider is way better than both of them defensively and I'm a big Cale fan. Seider has a very well rounded game. Hughes needs to be more physical but he's really good

You’re damn right about the Detroit media

Or losing to San Jose? Or losing to Arizona, or Ottawa, or Washington for that matter? Tons of stupid shit this team has done

@@89Brandon08 They also beat teams they shouldn't have,

@@shawnkennedy855 that's expected of a team in the playoffs. Losing to shit teams has to be minimized more often than what we did.

@@89Brandon08100%

Fire Fester

Not unless he figures out a way to score 80-90 points.

Yes, pay him a reasonable salary

I like the dudes shirt. That yellow and black flannel looks pretty good.

PP1 spot will be open with Gostisbehere leaving, hopefully him or Edvinsson can step into the role

@@TylerH12 ghost is staying for sure. no way the wings let him walk after scoring 56 pts. they are going to let holl go and petry will be #7 with simon slotted. they need to carry 7+NHL dman again next year. the focus needs to be getting a goalie

​@mattmcnick where exactly is holl walking to with 2 more years at 3.4 remaining on his deal? Nobody is touching that deal, and if you buy him out you'll be paying him for the next 4 years.

@@mattl2642 i meant via trade for holl, could see him getting moved at the draft for picks

Brother we have the top prospect pool in the league

Another poor comment from you Nall412

​@@squid3641Buffalo has the top prospect pool in the league and the youngest roster iced the last 2 seasons. Where has that gotten them? If we bring up a bunch of rookies this season the team will almost definitely take a step backwards.

negative IQ comment lol

He’s definitely not a one trick pony right now man. He is pretty well rounded and clearly a top D in the league. Still a lot of room for offensive improvement but your take is pretty off.
