I think that's part of the reason those two never found chemistry. A lot of the time when Drouin enters the zone, he'll stop and try to set the play up. Sounds like Desharnais to me. It shouldn’t be hard for Drouin and Pacioretty to you know, talk to each other out there if it were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe part of it is Drouin never really felt comfortable down the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a pretty good name (For the record, 'Seattle Sockeye' is my candidate, but I'm sure it'll be something dreary, like the Seattle Oak View or some such corporate BS I'm all for Seattle in the NHL, it'll drive the Canucks fans crazy when that team wins before their does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Emeralds isn't bad at all. It's definitely different. I can see a logo involving an emerald puck. I like that one a lot. Metropolitans is nice for sentimental and historical reasons (which in today's soulless sports world seldom count), but it's a bland name on its own terms, and would be a weird fit given that the league has a division of the same name. Anyhow, it's not on the list http://news.sportslogos.net/2018/01/19/kraken-whales-among-13-names-registered-by-seattle-nhl-group/ I don't know what a 'Rainier' is, but the Seattle Rain would be sort of a cool, off-the-beam title. Kraken does seem to have the inside track, which is too bad because it does little for me. Sockeyes works because of the pun on hockey fights, Emerald because it's positive, different, and so keyed to civic identity. Kraken is nautical, yes, but ultimately too generic for my taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get that reference...but it just seems weird to me to name a team that way. It'd be like calling the Habs the Montreal St Lawrences. (By contrast, my eccentric proposal of 'Seattle Rain' makes perfect sense and lends itself to puns, like 'Seattle rains shots down on Carey Price,' or 'Seattle raining death upon opponents...' etc.). Anyhow, 'Emeralds' or 'Sockeyes' remain tops on my private list, but it'll be the Kraken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Yzerman's family lives in Detroit still. He got tired of commuting back and forth from family to Tampa. Holland only signed a two-year extension. Yzerman only has one year left on his deal. I expect Yzerman takes the Detroit job in the summer, and Holland becomes an advisor for the final year of his deal (unless he asks to leave ala Lou in Toronto).
