anytime a team that hasn't made the playoffs in a decade and currently has a negative goal differential can give up a first round pick for a soon to be 34 year old defenseman so you can get crushed in the first round, you gotta do it.
All these moves Yzerman made don't move the needle in the slightest because the wings will have the usual March collapse and miss the playoffs for 10th year in a row
So pretty much traded Soderblom, Buchelnikov and a 1st round pick for Justin Faulk. That's still a very solid trade because he has one more year on his contract and isn't a rental.
The thing that worries me most about Faulk is he’s supposed was a career negative as a member of the Hurricanes. A team that plays excellent team D and Faulk was severely negative most years
Why does everyone say steve doesnt trade??? How did gibson get here? How did cat get here? Yeah compher sucks but we did trade for him and at that point it was a good trade. He basically traded veleno for Gibson and he traded Burt for Cat and MBN. Steve is doing just fine. Not overpaying for players is a good quality for a GM. Perron is just fine he will fit right in. again.
Dumb move by Yzerman. Holl, Buchelnikov, Soderblom (3rd round pick the got from the Pens) and a 2026 1st for a 34 year old defenseman that isn't good defensively and a 30 points guy offensively. Playing him with Chiarot will be a horrible defensive pair and if you break up Edvinsson and Chiarot, you will have 2 average to below average pairs instead of 1 solid pair.

Justin Holl is probably the reason we had to attach a 3rd 😂
Waste of a trade deadline. Faulk doesn’t move the needle and Perron moves it backwards.

fantastic addition.
Had to do it. D-Core could be fantastic next year.

Cheers to the black people praying for us nhl fans. To you
Wings suck, yzerman sucks and Larkin is a lousy captain
LOL are fans high? Faulk fills a desperate need behind our first pairing. This absolutely moves the needle, whether you like Yzerman or hate him.
The fact Buchelnikov had to be included lowers the grade a bit
Terrible
Justin Holl, a 1st and 3rd round picks for Faulk. So basically a 1st round pick for Faulk when Detroit got a 3rd round pick for Elmer.

Overpay
It's a very good top 4 now, definitely playoff level

"Is This What God Feels Like?"…LOLOLOLOLOL
Damn we missed the cathartic clip of Rico talking about how Yzerman won't do anything only for this to come seconds later
Holl is a good loss. Faulk can snipe from the blueline. Elmer is sad loss.
This “Just in”… we got Faulked
Beautiful deal….wow.
Who?
still weak up the middle…

Faulk will be 34 years old in 2 weeks…this was a terrible trade
Nice to know at least 1 GM in the city of Detroit has a pair.
i have had shits better than this show
