Sujet: Stetchers diss during announcements last night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>But there are quite a few defenseman prefer playing their off hand because it opens up a lot options in the offensive zone. The Wings were considering moving Hronek to the left so he could use his one timer a lot more. Have you ever tried or seen someone try to take a one timer with your back to the guy passing you the puck.</div></div>
It's great on the PP, but the trade off in the defensive zone isn't worth it to me to be done regularly at even strength. Just digging the puck out, gap control, breakout passes, lane coverage and especially short side net coverage it REALLY affects.

With Stetcher and Hronek, it might not make a huge difference, as they're both lacking defensively anyways, so might as well try it for the increased offense, haha

Sujet: Stetchers diss during announcements last night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrispyBBQ</b></div><div>Looks like he was a healthy scratch last night. Ive never really watch him play but seems like people think he should have been in the lineup.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zuki9797</b></div><div>what happened</div></div>
Not even just that. Before the game, they were announcing all the staff, players, etc as it was the home opener. Vrana, Osterle, Stetcher and Rowney were all in the hall in suits, as they were all out (Vrana on IR, the other 3 being healthy scratches). So, they go through the coaching staff, then announce Vrana, so he comes onto the bench and waves, then they announce Osterle, he comes onto the bench and waves... then they go straight to the Leddy, who skates onto the ice... camera is still on Stetcher and Rowney in the hall, waiting to be announced and the camera quickly cuts away as Stetcher kinda just shrugs his shoulders and turns around to head up to the suite. I felt really bad for Rowney and Stetcher, talk about feeling like the odd men out and an afterthought...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>"DeKeyser, Staal OR Leddy" .... none of which should be resigned. DeKeyser you'd be lucky if he'd finish any of it not on IR. Staal and Leddy suck.

Osterle is a 7th man.

Every prospect you just named there is either not an NHL level defenseman or not ready.

It's so sad you can't realize what is painfully true.
You really think they'd be playing Staal who's totally washed if they had choices.

They will be looking for defensemen next year you can count on it.
But hey these are the same people posting on here who said Cholowski was going to be their defense not to long ago.</div></div>
You're missing the whole point. The goal is to do the rebuild the right way, not give up assets for players that don't move the needle. You're tired trope of "Staal, DeKeyser and Leddy suck, hur, hur" is Jim Rome level garbage. Leddy is still very useful and DeKeyser and Staal are respected vets that are placeholders. Same thing with Osterle, he's certainly not winning a Norris, but he's fine as a 3rd pairing placeholder while we rebuild. Next, your ignorance of our pipeline is comical. Sebrango and McIsaac both looked ready out of camp, but why rush them now? That doesn't mean they won't be ready by next year.

You're clearly only here to stir **** and know nothing about the Wings, nor are you even remotely interested in understanding it, so this will be the last reply I make to you.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>you really over estimate DET.
you got 3 LD over 30 years old with expiring contracts none of which are any good. Leddy and staal suck. DeKeyser is made of glass.
Whole LD is probably gone next year. Unless you live in a cave you realize by now there is a massive shortage of defense in the NHL. FFS Jack Johnson is playing for COL right now. That should tell you something about the state of the league and defensemen.

So yeah, talk big, but when DET is looking for defensemen because most FA aren't going to want to come and play for the perpetual rebuild that is going nowhere team, and the prospects aren't ready at 20 years old, then needs for stop gap defensemen who are at least NHL level will be required.
When you don't have any players to really trade, the only other thing to work with is picks or taking cap dumps.
So you can keep having a defense of cap dumps like Staal, which do nothing but hurt the team and player development.

As for Zucker, he wouldn't OK a trade to DET, and he most likely gets traded to a contender. There are teams looking for help on LW. He's only got 1 more year on his contract after this year.
So if he's moved he's a glorified rental where ever he goes. He's also not a bad player. Not every guy is going to be a 40 goal guy. But plenty of teams don't mind guys who score at 20 goal paces.
Sure the salary is a bit high, but he's a capable player, and someone with cap room looking to make a push and has the space will take a run to improve the team knowing that contract in the end isn't going to be hard to move if they have to.
That's even if the penguins trade him. He might go next year, at which point, it will be a nothing of a deal as it's a pure rental and off the books.</div></div>
Detroit could go out and re-sign DeKeyser, Staal OR Leddy to fill one slot, play Osterle to fill another and then promote any one of Sebrango, Viro, Johansson or McIssac and that's IF they don't make a more reasonable trade to bring in a better fit. Detroit doesn't need another team's garbage to make it happen. Stop acting like you're doing us a favor that we have to accept.

Also, Edvinsson AND Wallinder aren't far away either...
