Yup, they made a YUGE (eh Wiz?) mistake!
Still a lot more than anyone guaranteed Del Zotto for the coming year. A lot more. Because he’s better, far better.... :mex:
Wow, Stech is far far better than MDZ!! :lol:

Funny, if you take a look at what MDZ made as a 25 year old UFA, maybe one can see where Stecher yuge $1.7 million contract is leading him by age 30?

But, if it doesn't work out in Detroit, I think it's over for Troy. Too many small, low-skill defenceman in the early/mid 20s to compete with after this contract.

After all those painful pinches we've witnessed, you'd think he would have grown a few inches.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

It was more referring to the players’ ability when they played here. Well that and a couple posters are getting angry every time his or Nick Bonino’s name is brought up. If Stecher flames out in Detroit he’s probably done or he’s a guy like Del Zotto and Sbisa, signing PTOS every year.

I guess you're right, we're still hurt over the loss of Elite Third Liner Bonino, and Elite Third Pair D Stecher :lol:

I’m not sure anyone is hurt over it. The Chef flies into a rage every time Bonino’s name is brought up and Danny was so baked the last few years he doesn’t even realize how shitty some of the players he’s watched really are. :mex:

Not gonna lie, it took me a few minutes to remember the Wizard's old handle - obviously in my mind he also looks like Radagast IRL :lol:

Lol this again. I watched pretty much every game last year. The previous year around 80% with the arrival of Petey. The last two Willie years and the first year of Travis is some of the worst hockey in franchise history. I was probably not much more than half the games, 60 % at best. Then just watch the highlights or if they were playing a fun team to watch. I think if anyone said they watched all 82 in those three seasons, they are super bored out of their skull, a glutton for punishment or a bald faced liar. :mex:

Then you admittedly, because you didn't see the games, know little of many of those on on your shitty list.
