I'd disagree. I think he is a crucial piece. He's trending towards being a ppg winger. Will he ever be a Selke guy or a truly elite player? I don't think so; but ppg guys (especially homegrown ones) are what winning teams need. -
LOL, glad I missed this one. Apparently we still suck, I'm flabbergasted. Also, I'd probably shut UPL down for the rest of the way. You're just doing psychological damage at this point. I didn't watch, and I'm sure it's not all his fault that he has a bad team in front of him, but he's not good. Hasn't been for months. On the plus side, only 10 games left in this miserable season. I still fully expect the status quo to continue, but there's still this tiny gleam that's holding out hope that we get some significant change.

He will hang on to UPL and Levi until the bitter end. I'm not writing either off, by any means. Both have shown enough flashes of ability to see there *might* be something there. But goalies are funny, man. And tying entire seasons to young/unproven goalies is not something you can do if you're serious about getting to the playoffs. It's a total dice roll. And if they go into next season with an expected Levi/UPL tandem, then they are not serious about it again. I'm sure they'll keep Reimer on again as the latest version of the greybeard plan B like Anderson, and (not really greybeard) Comrie. If Levi & UPL pull it together, they may have a chance. If it's another year of spotty results and having to fall back on the aged guy to stop a spiral, it'll be yet another wasted year. They could start by getting them a decent goalie coach. That might help. This has been the fatal flaw in Adams's plan. Too much is being banked on the production of young guys.

At what point does Detroit admit the Yzerplan has failed?
