Can they get rid of Shannon Hogan too.....please?

Floria with the WTF moment of the draft. That's right, Floria. Because there's still no D in Florida.

My guess is the cap ceiling will rise to accommodate the Penguins stupidity. Call it a hunch.

"We have a trade to announce..." Hate that little gerbil whenever he scurries up to say anything.

Ok, so I am SOOOOO excited about this day! (as always) I just hope Holland picks one of the guys we have all been talking about in that 1st round! If Holland selects Haag in the 1st round I will personally fly to the Draft and kick Holland in the Balls... Concerning the Bobby Ryan rumors, I would hate to not have Tatar with us, but I would LOVE Ryan in Detroit! Could you imagine if Holland was able to acquire Bobby Ryan and was able to sign Lacavalier? Now that would be a huge increase in our offense production! And it keeps Franzen in the mix, for all you Franzen lovers...with Ryan and Lecavelier on our team, I wouldn't even mind that Franzen stayed. Ok, ok I know this a draft thread and not a trade thread, but this could happen at the draft. I am so excited! I just hope I do not get my hopes up too much (as I always do, right? ) and get the wind kicked out of me when that pick comes up... Anyhow, Go Wings! Go Holland! Get Ryan and Lecavalier here! So long Filppula!

Nothing's wrong with her, I just.. want her...to take... Sir Mickey of... the awk...ward... long pause... with her.

Good riddance. I wish they'd get rid of the whole Fox Sports Girls promotion all together.

Trading up?

It's overpayment right now. And he's now signed until he's 30 so the big question is if he's still improving or if he's peaked. Offensively he made big improvements this season. He looked more and more comfortable on the PP and is among if not the best on the team at getting his shot through. It might not always be a cannon but he can get it through to the net, which this team has had a hard time with since Nick and Rafalski retired. Defensively he still plays with the consistency of a #7 guy though. If he improves that, this'll be a good deal. If he doesn't, the Wings will be wishing they packaged him in a trade.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 40m Wowsers. Van trades Cory Schneider to NJ for 9th overall pick. Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 37m Word is Canucks and Devils agreed to Schneider deal Saturday night Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 15m Gillis said he did not speak with Luongo before agreeing to Schneider trade. I'm kinda stunned. I can't believe how Vancouver has handled their goaltender situation.

Classless not to discuss this with Luongo after stringing the guy along for over a year, signing Schneider, and making it a f'n circus for everyone on that team. It's hard to feel sorry for a Canuck but I do for Lou in this position. What a joke. I guess that's why I am a fan of the classiest team in hockey!

Adam Vingan @AdamVingan BREAKING: Flyers buy out Sam Morin.

Man, that new Dallas sweater is absolutely hideous...

Except in game 7s, of course.

???? Sorry this is a very good deal for the Isles. Nino is a flop to date and the Isles are far to easy to play against. Now they have 2 of the best hitters in the game: Martin and Clutterbuck. I would love to have those 2 as a checking line.

No details yet so don't consider this solid: James Mirtle ‏@mirtle2m Leafs have traded up to 18th from 21. False alarm: Helene St. James ‏@HeleneStJames31s Contrary to tweets, DET has not traded 18th pick to Toronto. Faulty system, per Ken Holland.

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 3m Blue Jackets very close on a new deal with goalie Sergei Bobrovsky... Although Bob's sample size is a bit small, I think he is the real deal. If Columbus has any brains at all they give him a deal.

Wow. Overpayment of the year for sure. I'm so glad we have Kenny. Dats, Z, and Kronwall's deals are all steals.

Did you write "Defensively, he still plays with the consistency of a number 7 guy though"? Yes or no? Im telling you that you havent moved on from 2012. Kindl plays with ghe consistency of a number 4 or better now. Thats why all his stats are up, thats why the coach is singing his praises, and thats why he got a nice extension. Why knock ANY part of his game right now?

Please. The kid gave the goalie the snowshower of the century and he got his butt handed to him by a guy who wanted to drop the gloves. I'd take that kid that pounded him every day of the week instead of a chicken**** who wants to snow your goalie when your team is ALREADY WINNING. If this kid got pounded outside of a sports event, sure, levy the charges, but if someone in football got squarely tackled, people would be out of their seats... and if you just ran up and tackled a guy on the street, you'd get arrested. its the same thing here. The only cheap shot was the smart*** who got pummeled when he snowed the goalie... if anything, his team should have been down a man after that.

Good thinking. I'm really excited for this draft. Super deep draft. We have the lowest pick I've ever personally seen us have. There should be a flurry of trade activity today. Things I'm looking for... -Flames GM Jay Feaster will do something dumb AND make at least one draft decision that makes people wonder why he's still an NHL GM -Columbus trades one of thier 3 first round picks -Colorado takes MacKinnon, Patrick Roy says something stupid at one point or another -Florida takes Jones, Tallon personally thanks Colorado -At least one team trades to get into the top 10 -Leafs do something dumb (this is partially a wish) -Columbus has its best draft ever

Mike Smith at 5,7 per? WoW I must s ay, I am starting to like Howards deal more and more now prices are getting into a ridiculous area.

Mark my words, Tatar is going to be a STAR... I can feel it! So no to any deal that involves him.

I'm not trying to talk you out of anything, and I don't want to argue. But I really, really, want to know what you like about Smith. You can message me if you want so that you don't have to argue with anyone else. But I've got to know why he's on that list.

With native-born players leaving for North America and the KHL already, I wonder if they feel the quality of their league is dropping and a move to the KHL would give their fans better hockey to watch. A move like this could work if other clubs follow suit and help transform the KHL from a mostly-Russian league to a full European/Asian league with teams all over the map.
