Analyzing the YzerPlan and the Detroit Red Wings!

[YzerPlan-A @yzerplan_A]

@RyanHanaWWP @YzermanSZN @TSN1040 @BradKrysko @m_bultman @iyer_prashanth A little off the specific topic, but I think you gotta deal AA as soon as possible and get what you can for him. He'd be a great asset to a contender but he's gonna continue to struggle as long as he's on a rebuilding team which will lower his value over time.

@GrindLinePod The fact that poor performance isn’t punished is a bigger issue. Bring up anyone. Give Ford and Terry a chance to play up. They’re not full NHL quality players but either are a few guys on the Wings right now. Keeping poor performers in their spot is a de-motivator.

[YzerPlan-A @yzerplan_A]

It's hard to understand why guys like Neilsen, Ehn, and Perlini seem to be immune to performance-based demotions. Any trade value is highly diminished the longer they stay here. Move them down, or move them out. https://t.co/IPx9vhWYtP @WingedWheelPod @GrindLinePod

@GrindLinePod If they’re being told that, there’s a much deeper issue with this team.

Keeping Blash might be more detrimental to the player's development than going with someone new. Can't do much with lack of talent, but the main job of a Head Coach is to ensure his guys are skating hard. Too often they're out-worked and out-"hearted". https://t.co/awQnyzyUJD

When there's no penalty for poor performance, it reduces motivation. It makes guys think their hard work isn't being noticed. If someone was doing a poor job in a position you were working hard to earn, and that person was immune from demotion, you'd feel mistreated.

@GrindLinePod My main issues with Blash:
Hardly anyone finishes their checks. They spin away. That's not a talent issue, its a coaching and player laziness issue. You won't see that from top teams. Also, if he sat or sent down non-performers (70, 29) it would offer more motivation for GR guys.

[YzerPlan-A @yzerplan_A]

@GrindLinePod If the team becomes "toxic" as a result of giving younger guys a chance, I'd put that directly on Blashill. If he's a quality coach like you say, toxic shouldn't be an issue.

[YzerPlan-A @yzerplan_A]

@GrindLinePod There isn't one surefire template to follow that will guarantee success in the future. Just as you'd think development has a better chance of success by keeping players in GR, I think more early experience in the NHL is better, especially when there's nothing to lose this season.

[YzerPlan-A @yzerplan_A]

@GrindLinePod @WingedWheelPod I disagree. I think you bring up and send down anyone and everyone you can. Some players can succeed at a higher level, even though they haven't necessarily had huge success at a lower level. Ehn and Perlini have done nothing to benefit the development of this team.

I think this is a good insight as to why Dylan Larkin isn't wearing a "C". Some of those required leadership traits just aren't there. Not taking away from his abilities on the ice, but Leadership is next-level type stuff. https://t.co/XdhyaaFkwy
