When a player signs a contract in the NHL is he paying that franchise millions of dollars to play for them?

As far as fans going for the throat. Fans are usually ride or die for their teams. When you’re not they probably aren’t gonna be happy.

What a stupid take.

[R i N K Y @RinkyReport]

Colby Cohen on the Morning Cuppa Hockey Podcast about players asking out; ''If a player isn't allowed to ask out of a contract they signed, why is that different than a GM being like: ''You know what, you have 4 years left on your deal, but i'm done with you. I'm trading you.'' You both agreed to the contract. He's done with you so he's trading you. Dylan Larkin agreed to a contract with Steve Yzerman. He feels like he's held up his end of the bargain & they didn't. And he said ''I'm done with you. Trade me.'' Like I don't see what the difference is except the fan reaction always goes for the players throat and I hate that.'' #NHL #LGRW

I’d take this should be Hall of Famer even if those three were on the table. #Winner

[Vinny’s Corner @VinnysCorner1]

Without saying Dominik Hašek, Martin Brodeur, or Patrick Roy, name an NHL goalie you’d want in a Game 7.

@JGreenberg11 Idk who that guy is but he sounds like a dope.

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

-Analytics should play more of a role in Veteran signings. Guys like Gustafsson, Compher, and Copp dropped off.

- That’s stupid

-Chris Illitch can kick rocks

-IDC about Larkin’s situation right now.

[Ryan Hana @RyanHanaWWP]

Confirmation in here of a few things that we've discussed over the past while:

- DET used analytics on an advisory basis, not explicitly baked into decision-making process
- Horcoff is the interim GM, not Yzerman > GM change driven by Ilitch
- Larkin's trade request stands #LGRW

Lazy player. Never met a back check he wanted to participate in.

Thank you, Showtime. 🎬

Or, and hear me out…..Could it be that they won all their Playoff games? Dork.

NEW: Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz says the Big Ten's non-conference schedules are a big reason for its 3 straight national titles:

"When you don't play a (non-conference) A4 game."

He should have been fired after the Mel Pearson fiasco. This soft firing isn’t good enough.

Breaking: Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel will step down at the end of the calendar year, the school announced.

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

If Chris Illitch moved Yzerman just so the next guy in accepts Futures and picks for Larkin I may actually attempt to kick him in his shins if I ever see him. Whoever is in next needs to draw the same hard line Stevie did. I’ll die on that hill. He was a million percent right to.

[NHLMuse @NHL_Muse]

The Wild passed on Vincent Trocheck because they believe they have a real shot at Dylan Larkin. 😳

Michael Russo & Joe Smith report Minnesota has been holding out hope for Larkin, with the belief that he wants to come to the Wild. 👀

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

Listen @DetroitRedWings. I need confirmation on this ASAP. Mo has been steadily gaining on Larkin as my favorite on the team for a while now. He’s gone over the top now and I need to know should I get his jersey now or just wait a few months…..

Our government took zero responsibility for lockdowns, vaccine socialism, vaccine mandates, mask mandates and mentally abusing schoolchildren with insane rules for years.

No foreign country made them do that.

The data was clear. Still they robbed and abused everyone.

I lose all respect for Dylan Larkin is he walks back his trade request now.

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

💯

[Retired and Cute @donotconsidery1]

Ken Holland is more responsible for killing the Yzerplan than Steve Yzerman is.

...But casual Detroit sports fans aren't ready for that take yet

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

I hope there is one thing that comes out of this in the area I’ve been a little critical of Yzerman on, and that’s I want to see at least 1 new Assistant on Todd McClellan’s staff if not 2.

Dan Watson should be on an NHL bench.

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

💯 He did the job exactly the way he said he was gonna do it the minute he walked in the door. He’s the hero Detroit doesn’t deserve. 🫡 #ThankYouStevieY

[Hockey Snob Elite @HockeySnobElite]

The new GM will have one of the easiest jobs in the NHL. He has unlimited cap space. Assets everywhere. Endless flexibility. All thanks to 1 man who was given the task to rebuild this organization. Thank you Steve 🫡 #lgrw #nhl #yzerman

Chris Illitch is the apple that fell very far from the tree.

[NHL News @PuckReportNHL]

Red Wings governor & CEO Chris Ilitch: “Clearly, we are not where we and our fans expect to be as an organization. I’m looking forward to bringing in new leadership to build the championship-caliber organization Hockeytown deserves.” #LGRW

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

@JFreshHockey Because Chris Illitch is nothing like his old man.

[andy @Coach_AndyHill]

When you’re waiting on Warde Manuel to get fired and instead it’s Steve Yzerman……
