This is the best Red Wings page on KZfaq. Welcome.

clueless fans. steve's first pick as a wings gm, the calder trophy winner. hard lesson: there is so much projection about those kids, u cant judge a prospect straight away.

I’m from Pittsburgh but who doesn’t love Stevie Y man!!

He’s the real deal. Leader his entire career. Guys like probert, kocur, maccarty, shannahan, lidstom, Hull, datsyuk, kronwall, and so many more absolute studs and badasses looked to him for leadership. Many have said he didn’t need to say jack shit, he just looked you in the eyes when you fked up or we’re about to and they would straighten out.

@@davidmowry8951 very true. Will never forget him being so injured in the playoffs he could barely skate but he was out there laying it on the line every shift which inspired the whole team to elevate to a different level. It’s a hockey cliche now but Stevie Y was the guy

I wish Danny biere was are yzerman but he won

@@ericbrewerguitar1499 you guys would be wishing y’all have a yzerman in the wing with in 5 years with where the penguins are going only thing that give me a flyers fan hope

Happy birthday! Hope it’s a great and safe one !

Happy birthday!

Happy belated birthday

No worries.. It's not our fault that the NHL errr, Gary Bettman screws the Wings every chance he gets.... Why is the draft lottery selection done behind closed doors when they did it live before????????? So, they can cheat... Why else would they do it behind closed doors. Then they protect the cheating by having liar and bigger liar attorneys at law as witnesses. The best part is the the lawyers can never tell the real truth under client confidentiality or otherwise lose their practice license. What a sham...

Kenny really tanked this team.Steveie hit home runs with his first round picks ever since he’s been GM and the wing’s still finish bottom 6 ever year

will be closer for the Wings I guess... As a German Maple Leafs fan, I got an eye on Detroit, Ottawa and Edmonton as well. :) Cant wait to get Leafs vs Sens and Leafs vs Wings in the playoffs. :) Hockey is back home in Detroit and Toronto :)

You never know. I won’t be surprised if a team in our division falls.

You have a great HC now too. I foresee you on the way up when TB is on the way down; a changing of the guard so to speak.

It’s going to be a ridiculously stacked division in a few years. Leafs window is closing, the Bruins window has closed. Detroit and Montreal are 3ish years away from a playoff spot. Ottawa is there now, Tampa now, Florida now, Buffalo likely never. There’ll be 5-6 good teams in the Atlantic for a lot of years.

All of his content is redwings content lol

That's one draft pick that is still paying off.

@@sallybags9090 right i just thought about that. crazy how much a single person can do for an organization

@@sallybags9090 Best comment!👍

Yawn .

She's so bad

She's actually the worst. The definition of getting a job because of her gender, and who her family is. Had to watch those games on mute.

@@theawayfan6052 I'm pretty sure "who her family is" matters much more than her gender in this case

@@funnytoss is it hextalls daughter ? I played at the JR kings with his son I didn't even know he had a sister lmao ..

@@dylanlevy2107 cousin, from what I've found!

LMFAO

That is a fairly good joke.

Bruh frrrr

And yea, I was born in 90 and have watched them be so good for so many years the expectations were always high. The retirement of the vets and the move to LCA from one of the most iconic NHL arenas of all time took a toll on the team i think. 25 years of playoffs is still insane for me to hear. I turned 25 the same year, their 25 year run literally started the year i was born.

He's a hero back home, I lived only a few minutes from where he grew up always a redwings fan

Yall have great up and coming team especially on D yikes.

Gentlemen, please place your bets. My guess is 15 year minimum for The Detroit Chicken Wings.

He got Point and Kucherov in the 2nd and third rounds. Palat in the 7th round. It really goes beyond just the pick. Stevie Y gets the right people to develop the players. His hiring of Barb Underhill in TB was a huge factor in the Lightning's success. You know he'll do the same in Detroit.

@@boltinabottle6307 yea for sure. But since he has been in Detroit he’s hit home runs with all of his first round picks. It seemed like in Tampa he missed most his first round picks for some reason. so I was a little bit worried about that when he came to Detroit.

I think we’re going to lose Toumisto. Red wings will need to sign him before June 1 2023 or he becomes a free agent. Would’ve stung if we lost a right shot shutdown defenseman with size who could play for Detroit in two years.

@@younieemahgdh9529 It's possible. Usually when a European player goes back to Europe it's over as far as making to the NHL. Thus case is a bit different though. They haven't signed him but they still own his rights. He deferred his junior and senior year to turn pro. Usually they finish college then go home or play for another N. American league. He's still in the plans for Detroit. He wants to go pro and get a bigger role, learn to play the pro game. That's better for his development into an NHL defenseman and the Red Wings have been using Liiga and the SHL to develop players for several years. Tuomisto will be playing for the same team as Eemil Viro, another Wings defenseman prospect who is signed by the Wings and is only a year older. He probably should have went directly to Liiga or SHL like a lot of European players do. Seems like guys when they play NCAA they don't go to the NHL unless they were like a 1st round pick and were already playing for a big school.

Tuomisto is nothing special. He's only going pro because he wasn't getting any ice time at DU because he was being outplayed by freshman. I've watched him for the last several years and he was a pretty big disappointment. You should be more excited about Buium who looked A LOT better than Tuomisto, but Buium has a long way to go.

@@neutralsportsfan17 I didn't say he was special, just a good prospect with size. Playing in Liiga is going to help his development. I think Buium is a better prospect but of the 3 I'm more excited about Mazur. I honestly don't see any of those 3 making the Wings roster though. I see Johansson and Edvinsson making the roster by next season.

Soderblom and Johansson will both be in either GR and/or Detroit this season.

If Lidstrom is one of the reasons you cheer for Wings I think you ought to know that his name is Lidstrom , not Lindstrom.

I think he picked cossa cause cossa’s development will fall in line with the rebuild, whereas walstedt is more nhl ready and I don’t think Yzerman wanted to throw a young goalie in the net so soon, also I think cossa has a higher ceiling.

@@Sonicthehedgefundmanager it’s possible but I would be more apt to believe that SY just thought Cossa was better. He’s not gonna choose the lesser player to fit a development timeline

I concur.

Would be interesting to see an Avalanche/Red Wings Stanley Cup. The Avs could be on the decline by the time the Wings get that good though.
