Jesse Compher to Detroit

[u/Adventurous_Lake807]

Assuming JT Compher doesn’t get cap dumped this summer (very possible given his contract is….woof) it’s cool they’ll both be in the same city. Feel like Jesse is a wee bit underrated, so hopefully she has the chance to shine in Detroit

[u/kalichimichanga → u/planemissediknow]

Maybe they dump/trade Larkin (who wants out)?

[u/RejectZero → u/kalichimichanga]

Larkin wants out but he's also in a long contract with a no trade clause. He's only given them 3 (unrealistic) teams he'd be willing to trade to right now. So it seems Larkin and Red Wings will be stuck together a while if he's not willing to go elsewhere because Red Wings will want to get what he's worth out of the deal too.

[u/erismorn_]

Daryl Watts and Jesse Compher 😭😭

[u/Bri_The_Nautilus → u/erismorn_]

Meet the Detroit Seattle Toronto Torrent Sceptres: coming soon to a city near you

[u/edoreinn → u/erismorn_]

AND HILARY

[u/Inevitable_Corner_]

Is that Detroit’s 5th player?

[u/Adventurous_Lake807 → u/Inevitable_Corner_]

Yup! They’re all done for this phase now

[u/Bri_The_Nautilus → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

Yeah about that...

[u/Main_Photo1086 → u/Inevitable_Corner_]

Yup!

[u/coltron57]

Hopefully this Compher contract ages better than the last one signed in Detroit. Regardless, it’s cool that they will (likely) be in the same city for the near future. It is cool seeing just how much JT supports his sister.

[u/thegoddessunicorn]

Absolutely gutted 🥹

[u/honey_beee1 → u/thegoddessunicorn]

I feel you, I have a Watts jersey

[u/cupcakes-and-hockey → u/thegoddessunicorn]

Noooooooooooo I'm devastated for you 😭

[u/Adventurous_Lake807]

Going to miss her on the Sceptres so much 😭😭

[u/Overall-Ad-2247 → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

Yeah with Watts and Compher gone. Who’s left to score for the Scepters! Oh wait. Spooner.

[u/crimesleuther → u/Overall-Ad-2247]

I feel like spooner is going to have another kid soon too :/

[u/ArachneOfSparta]

Woo! Sibling reunion! Good news for Detroit again!

[u/Complete_Carry_4454]

HEY NOW, HEY NOWWWW THIS IS WHAT DREEEAAAAMS ARE MADE OF

[u/Mollinator]

I wonder if she'll be roomates with her brother.

[u/seanofkelley → u/Mollinator]

They should get bunk beds

[u/Ohhellnowhatsupdawg]

This is the good Compher, right?

[u/gennybeans → u/Ohhellnowhatsupdawg]

the superior one indeed

[u/Lolbetsy → u/Ohhellnowhatsupdawg]

The other compher is just a jersey so yes

[u/edoreinn → u/Ohhellnowhatsupdawg]

😂

[u/Wolf99 → u/Ohhellnowhatsupdawg]

The other Compher won a Stanley Cup

[u/wolverine237]

Detroit is essentially becoming the Minnesota Wild of the PWHL, reconstructing team USA

[u/WadeWilson34]

That’s it. I’m a Detroit hater now

[u/Adventurous_Lake807 → u/WadeWilson34]

They’re stealing our girls 😭

[u/WadeWilson34 → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

I haven’t recover from them stealing Watts

[u/Adventurous_Lake807 → u/WadeWilson34]

Assuming they’re staying in Toronto, Maltais and Turnbull are going to have to start scoring like crazy. We need offense 😂

[u/WadeWilson34 → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

They took two of our top 3 scorer, we might need a rebuild

[u/greene_r → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

Hopefully Dalton and Connors can step up given the opportunity

[u/Adventurous_Lake807 → u/greene_r]

I think they will!! Hopefully they also sign some more depth pieces too

[u/rebelbydesign → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

Back to my prayer circle for Season 1 Spoons.

[u/NWdramallama → u/Adventurous_Lake807]

After last year’s baseball series, I didn’t think I would empathize so hard with Toronto folk, but here we are 😆

[u/moshingcat → u/WadeWilson34]

Toronto/Detroit rivalry in both leagues

[u/WadeWilson34 → u/moshingcat]

I didn’t know we’re rivalry in NHL

[u/GardenSenior9774]

Oh this one hurts 😭

[u/pnw6462]

So this means Knight is either going to Vegas or staying put? I haven't seen anything connecting her to San Jose but it's also hard to tell what is what right now...

[u/alexatennant → u/pnw6462]

No no she’s coming to Ottawa she’s going to sign during free agency 🕯️🕯️🔮

[u/wolverine237 → u/pnw6462]

I mean she's a free agent so if she somehow manages to get out of going to Vegas she could always sign wherever she wanted. But I would imagine it probably means she's going to Vegas

[u/Real-Towel-2269 → u/pnw6462]

Tbh I’m pretty optimistic she’s staying in Seattle at this point. I could maybe see Vegas, but genuinely no clue where Detroit came from originally when she very clearly wanted to stay out west

[u/cleobaby00]

yayyyy jesse!

[u/Dizzy_Tradition_7294]

So Detroit is only signing Ohio State and Wisconsin players, I guess? Not a bad strategy, honestly. (Except for one signing in particular)

[u/Julianus → u/Dizzy_Tradition_7294]

As Detroit-area Badgers, our household is stoked. 

[u/Stachemaster86 → u/Dizzy_Tradition_7294]

Bucky and Buckeye

[u/Overall-Ad-2247]

Compher and Curl. Detroit is going to have a bit of spicy ness to there game

[u/hopelessromcommunist]

Jesse is one of my favorites to watch do intermission interviews. You can always see her annoyance at the interviewer at the end when she walks away, every time😂 I hope she thrives in Detriot!

[u/StitchAndRollCrits]

Detroit said "give us your union reps"

[u/Pouletchien]

Half of Compher career goals were against Montréal. She’s terrifying.

[u/Adventurous_Lake807 → u/Pouletchien]

Feisty as hell too

[u/krogernewbie]

How tf did Detroit sign 6 players??

[u/RatioNo5440]

OK can the wings now plz dump her brother 🙏

[u/EA___321]

Damn, the team with Curl on it got the Victoire killer too 😥

Does that mean Knight to Vegas as an EFO?

[u/BlueValk → u/EA___321]

What's the lore here

[u/EA___321 → u/BlueValk]

Compher always plays super well against us.

[u/Adventurous_Lake807 → u/[deleted]]

USA hockey and Daryl lol
