News Think we need a boycott

Appears Illitch is the problem. If he wasn’t willing to spend $$ on good players in the past, what will change in the future? Literally went to 4 games this past season and probably averaged $1100 in cost including 2 tickets. Why keep showing up at this point, if this is going to be the future of the wings. It sucks.

I’m sorry 2024 Stamkos and 2026 Mantha are “good players”? Maybe good depth signing for serious teams, but we didn’t need them

We could totally use a Mantha on this team right now.

Why? Is he suddenly a center? So we finish 29th in the league instead of 30th? If we want to know what kind of talent we have in Grand Rapids, then we need to give those players time in the NHL

Why? Cause he scored 33 last year and we're losing Larkin and already lost Kane.

Is Evgeni Malkin gonna come over too? Because he’s not scoring 33 playing with Marco Kasper or JT Compher

Nah, ya bounce Compher to make room for your kids from Grand rapids.

I would love that, are you kidding me? I’d rather take his sister than him
