@InnocuousShark@DownGoesBrown You’re not understanding, in terms of “can’t get free agents” the Red Wings are already at bedrock on this hole. There is no deeper to go. The shovel just sparks on the granite. There’s no free agent they’re going to lose out on playing hardball with Larkin.
@nobodyknows2322 In fact, even Herschel Walker, with some notoriety due to his football career, couldn’t overcome his ethical scandals in an okay Republican year in a sometimes red-leaning state.
@InnocuousShark@DownGoesBrown The Red Wings can’t even give money away in free agency. Ehler’s agent literally told Yzerman “don’t bother.” The team is already at rock bottom on this front. This is the status quo. There is no hidden deeper state of “free agents won’t come here.” So it’s not a consideration.
Oh you want out so badly that you gave us three whole teams, two of which already win all the Cups plus one with no assets left to make a decent offer? Cool, you have five years left on your contract, see you at practice.
I’m generally pro-player and guys have the right to want to go elsewhere, but if Larkin’s whole list is really Florida/Vegas/Minnesota then I hope Yzerman plays hardball.
@TyphoonOCN@telyhouse Actually transphobic or did he just oppose a position at the absolute extremes and so the “still using Shinigami Eyes” crowd went nuclear on him?
@tim_c_23 That would be the ideal scenario. And I think if he goes out of the division and for a good haul then his legacy ends up more or less intact.
