The "just google it" mantra has probably held back quite a lot of interesting conversations and debate
  • My favorite is when I would use a google search for something, and several of the top results would be posts detailing the exact question I have, with the only responses being "just google it" and the post locked/closed to further responses.

  • Good find!

    I lazily tried asking Bing Chat to write a python script like this but nothing it wrote worked. It even made up fake APIs to do it. Kinda funny.

  • [Ryan Hana] Jeff Marek says that he doesn't see how this ends up any other way other than DeBrincat landing in Detroit
  • Yeah, I'm all for it. The Wings could definitely use some top end scoring, and he seems like an excellent fit. It'd be cool if they could snag Konecny, too.

  • Agreed. Every draft is different, and hindsight is 20/20, but if you go back through the 1st round draft results over the last decade or so, it's a pretty mixed bag. Some elite players, some all-stars, some guys who are role players but not stars, and a surprising number of busts who never made it. I'm not in favor of trading the entire farm away, but a measured approach of sending a couple prospects and/or draft picks away for a guy who has a fairly proven track record of success isn't necessarily a bad thing. DeBrincat's a goal scorer, he's from the Detroit area, and he's still pretty young. Probably has a lot of hockey ahead of him if he stays healthy. I say go for it.

  • Red Wings Linked to Four Possible Trade Scenarios
  • I'd be happy with either DeBrincat or Konecny, but lean toward DeBrincat. Ross Colton could be a sneaky good acquisition if he can be gotten for cheap. He gets bottom six minutes for Tampa but I suspect he could be a decent middle six forward if given more opportunity.
