With a hire such as this - what could Leighton possible 'teach', 'coach' that would improve either Gibson, or Talbot when taking into consideration their respective NHL careers and performances (as in Leighton doesn't hold a candle to either of them).

Do not want Erik Karlsson. 11.5m for the next two years. No, thanks. Somebody on HFboards suggested Dylan Samberg who just filed for arbitration. Winnipeg love him and I’m sure they’ll sort out a long term contract though and won’t let him walk directly to UFA. But thats the kind of player we should go after, imo. Somebody on the rise that yet to have established themselves in the top four. Drew Helleson in Anaheim is another one, suggested by a poster that seems to know a lot about what the organization are thinking.

Yzerman was a top player in the league superstar from day 1 though. Larkin is a weak 1st C who can't even get 1 selke vote despite wings homers clamoring to tell themselves how gReAT he is at defense... im just saying, there's a difference. And I don't care about the personal accomplishments or immediate desires of one individual player, especially not a non superstar. If Larks wants to be dour and glum about all this then let him request a trade. So long. Get a nice kings ransom for him. If Larks was the caliber of a late 20's Yzerman I would have a different attitude. But he's not.

ALSO: Still holding out hope that we are in on Ehlers, top line minutes has to be attractive to him. I still think we NEED a top LHD, or if they are going to use Edvinsson there, a least a 2nd pairing LHD. Also a 2nd pairing RHD would be beneficial. Grzelcyk would be nice for that LHD. 40 points on a crap show of a Pittsburgh team. We CANNOT go into the season with the D we have. Need TWO legit NHL D. JBD is ok, but he's not that 2nd pairing RHD we need...

I'm glad we didn't chase Miller at the cost of those assets and term/cap. That's just nuts.

Not the first time Jimmy's got that question

This day on the calendar used to be better than Christmas, the Super Bowl, and Evel Knievel on the same day. Now it's guessing which toy from the Island of Misfit Toys we are going to end up with.

Yeah he'll probably be worth that cap hit for 2 maybe 3 of those years

Reasonable bottom 6 player.

Oh shidt, Yzerman's piss azz offseason literally killed Alex Delvechhio And Kandre Miller is headed to Carolina...

Good for him...Was a trooper and played well for us.

I am good with it lets run with what we got get the kids some NHL seasoning and see what happens

I'm not saying this is what he's doing, but if you want Stevie to free up space for Danielson and Mazur; this is what it looks like.

Who are you and why are you in my bathroom?

OMG...an ounce of encouraging news.

The guy that even Buffalo didn't want? He'll be a great partner for Laggeson

Tanking for McKenna

"There was no player we had a chance to get who grew up playing hockey in the Detroit area or had ties to the area...so we decided to hold and not make any moves"

Worst offseason eva. Weak draft class. Non-existent UFA group. Teams clawing each other over Perry and Perbix. Just give the 2026 cup to the cats and lets start that offseason.

Marchand signed for six(6) years lol Bill Zito gets a call from the league office when sending in the papers - Six years? - Yep. - Hes gonna play for the Panthers when he is 43 years old? - Thats the plan.

Something needs to be done to upgrade the defense. Not only because we wanna get better, we got two young stud defensemen on this team who needs quality partnership to further their development. I’d prefer Y put his money and resources there. Got to fill up on forwards too. How many do we got signed for next year right now? 7?
