Any news on Lane MacDermid? Only like 2 and a half minutes of ice time, was he taken out of the game?

I like Benn at wing more than I do at center, idk. Really hoping we don't get out of top 10 in drafting, though. If we get 8-10 I think we can trade up to 5-7 MAYBE 4 if we pay hard for it.

I'm getting a little concerned that Fraser is in fact just an AHL player. Maybe he still has room to grow, but his defense is no where near good enough.
Who was Chiasson playing with most of the night?
He's played 5 games, give him some time.
Benn and Whitney.
I'm not sold on his ability. He deserves a chance, but I don't project top 6 time for him.
It's certainly going to be interesting to see if the team will have the same energy and chemistry in tomorrows game
Hope not. This franchise needs a franchise prospect like McKinnon, Jones, Drouin or Barkov more than we need a playoff appearance this year. Last time we had a franchise prospect was Modano and we weren't even Dallas yet.

They need to learn how to compete.
11 remaining games isn't going to teach them that. 6 years of one of those players would make a huge difference.
Playing the kids now is good for them to get a taste but don't oversell what these final games are when players may begin to mail it in.

Detroit hasn't picked in the top 5 since 1990: their first picks since then have come at 49, 35, 21, 32, 30, 27, 41, 19, 97, 64, 58, 62, 29, 120, 25, 49, 26, 26, 23, 22, 22 and 10. A lot of different factors have contributed to that, but tanking and fostering a losing culture isn't one of them.
GMJN has been fighting with one hand tied behind his back financially the last few years, but has made some shrewd signings and trades ... spend to the cap (basically add two Parise-and-Suter sized free agents) and this thing goes a LONG way towards being legit contenders.
Gee three future hall of famers and a several great players during that span. There's no comparison between Detroit and Dallas. I can't believe anyone thinks the final games of this season are some magical means to teach all these players all of a sudden how to win or create some amazing culture that's going to affect this franchise more than actually drafting a franchise player.
Get rid of the terrible coach and questionable staff will do more to help than miraculously winning our final 11 games, which isn't going to happen anyway. Had Getzlaf played they'd have run us out the building in the first before the team ever found it's footing.
