Holland asked for a 2nd, but Bergevin would prefer to give him a 1st and a 3rd cause he can afford it

I've got THREE TICKETS to Paradise.

Skinner finally dealt. Not sure how good of a prospect Pu (hehe) is, but good deal for the sabers at first glance.

Sabres!!! Phooey!!! L33t tank commanders maybe. I imagine Colorado is going to be a lot higher next year after that totally horribad 3-way trade that sent Duchene to the Sens in exchange for their conditional 1st, 3rd, Turris, the kitchen sink, etc comes home to roost. Man that trade stunk then and is just going to look worse next year. Sakic bent Dorion over on that deal. Clearly...I digress, but I still have some Avs hate-or-ade on tap. lol A bit surprised they put Veleno at #2 on the Wing's prospect list...me likes.

Best & Worst Prospect Pipelines Ranked Buffalo #1 Detroit #10 Pittsburgh #31

Dylan Sadowy, Colin Campbell, Carter Camper, Trevor Yates and Jordan Topping are a few forwards you missed. Trevor Hamilton and Marcus Crawford are a couple defensemen you missed. And Kaden Fulcher and Pat Nagle are a couple goalies missed. Of course not all of these guys will make the Grand Rapids roster, some (most) will be sent down to Toledo, but still DET / GRG property so worth mentioning. I like the Topping and Crawford signings. Both are 21 years old, coming off strong seasons in the CHL. They probably won't ever be anything more than AHLers, maybe lower tier NHLers, but definitely worth the opportunity. I'm not sure if we're much younger, maybe a little, but at least there's a few players to keep an eye on that could be up in Detroit some day. I'm hoping Svechnikov can build off a rough sophomore season, and get another long look in Detroit. A lot of people are down on him right now, but I still have high hopes for the kid... I'm also hoping Turgeon can build off a strong sophomore season, in (hopefully) an increased role. I expect much of the same from Hronek, but maybe he can take another huge step this season as well. I'm also really looking forward to see how Cholowski, Smith and Pope transition from junior / college to the pro game. I would say those are the 6 players I'm most excited to track this season in GR (assuming Zadina isn't down there)...

Plays a lot like Nyquist/Tatar it seems. Hopefully he will be a lower cost version of one of them in a few years.

Not ever has Nyquist had moves like this kid. The more I watch, the more I wish he'd make the team this season!

I can't take this guy seriously. You know when he was in school, the kids called him "Like"....... You'll figure it out.

On HockeyBuzz, Ek has rumored to trade Gus, Helm and a draft pick for Max Pacioretty.

That's a good point. Physically he'd have a better chance to wear out than Lidstrom did.

I agree, and no.

Lidstrom was a freak of nature though. Hard to expect anyone else to play like that in their 30's. I've always thought it should go to the best overall defenseman. The players that have usually won it were great all around. Every now and then, it's given to someone who's great offensively but not so much in their own zone. Rarely is it the other way around. Like I said, Langway is an outlier.

lol, I do see the resemblance... three tickets to hell, then

HYPE!

For all of you that don't believe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_House_Mafia It's real. https://www.thelocal.se/20071108/9046

yeah, right... not to mention automobiles, aspirins, jeans, gummy bears, x-rays, bicycles, heck even mayonnaise
