The family and I are planning a road trip to Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal next month...Not sure I want to go after watching the video...Such a violent country.

So he sucked as a player? Sounds like a coach to me!

https://leightongoalieacademy.com/ Omfg read the front to this website and then shoot me and yzerman in the face (SY first)

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.

Yes, imagine being a 37 year old Talbot, or 31 year old Gibson, taking advice from a 44 year old Leighton that spent most of his career in the AHL and averaged like 4 games a year in the NHL.... he's barely their senior, can't hold a flame to their respective careers, and has no prior coaching expierience... but surely they will respect his critiscm and instruction. GREAT HIRE SY... Its all so tiresome. Prediction: Mclellan and Leighton will both be gone from the Wings within the next 3 years. Remember this post.

Defense does look REALLY bad compared to Forwards. He has GOT to make a trade soon, right? I believe he still needs both a LHD and a RHD, and not just depth, actual valuable pieces!

Reasonable bottom 6 player.

What the hell. I don't remember posting that

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

Not "leaves", get's traded to San Jose along with a 2nd round pick for future considerations.

Petry to FL

I love having a genius GM. He zigs when everyone else zags. Like, the whole world seems to think we need to improve our defense and get tougher up front in the top six. Hell, Yzerman said so himself in his end-of-year presser. But wait...SIKE!!!...we don't need no stinking defensemen or power forwards. We need John Gibson and Berggren. #Legend

Joe Veleno, welcome home

Said both Yzerman and LAK GM Holland

PIVOT TO GRECYLK PIVOT QUICKLY Orlov still plays hockey right? $6x6 just give it to him FAST
