<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>Some Wings fans will hate it but I don't mind Blashill. You can't possibly look at the rosters they've had since 2016-17 (the first year they missed the playoffs), and think they had the talent to make the playoffs. This year's team was also significantly better than last year which is important. A lot of people criticize him for the extremely defensive style the Red Wings played this year, but this team did not have the scoring to go goal-for-goal with hardly any other team. He was coaching the style that would result in the most wins for the team. Another important thing about him is that the players still seem to be playing for him despite the results. Every time the Wings got blown out this year, they followed it up with a win, or at least a much better performance.

Also, Bylsma is not being brought back and he was our assistant coach that ran the PP (which was at 11% this year).</div></div>

So do I!!!!!
None of this is Blashill's fault 25 years of buying at the TDL is what caused the majority of the problems we have now.

The continuity of having the same coach through out the rebuild really does make the process much easier for everyone involved.

Plus Blashill and Cooper have very similar styles of coaching and Yzerman brought Cooper to TB and look how well that has turned out.

Sujet: Mantha trade brought up by THW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>I know I’m a bit biased since I’m a Wings fan but this looks like a poor offer to me. None of those pieces have much value to Detroit outside of the picks. I know Mantha’s gotten off to a slow start but I wouldn’t trade him at his lowest value when he’s been great the past couple years and still has plenty of time to bounce back. I think he’ll benefit from a coaching change which will likely take place after this season since Blashill is coaching a super defensive style to limit chances from the other team.</div></div>

Agreed. Mantha is one of your top 2-3 players. He's locked up for a reasonably decent length of time, and selling him when his counting stats suck, but his underlying stats are solid, seems like a very, very bad move (Unless you get a haul, which this isn't).
