SpikeDDS Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The Petry trade acquisition completes a 100% turnover on defense from when Steve Yzerman became GM of the Detroit Red Wings. The defense corps Yzerman's first year was:Hronek (65 gp)Nemeth (64)Bowey (53)Biega (49)The corpse of Mike Green (48)Daley (43)Cholowski (36)Ericsson (18)Lindstrom (16)McIlrath (16)Lashoff (9)Dekeyser (8)Hicketts (6)Goloubef (2) Just look at that sad defensive lineup we had to endure and try to make the most out of! All Detroit D-men are now Yzerman acquisitions. No more Holland holdovers on D! It truly is a new day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Love the defense, Edvisson coming off hip surgery needs to start the year in the AHL to rehab will be first callup when injuries occur. Glad petry gets a chance to play for hometown Detroit. Yeah that was pathetic defense, only thing as bad was our forward crew lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
