    2022 Draft / UFA

    Unless we're a legit top team and in need of shoring up the center position - I would say no thanks on Malkin. Too expensive. Too old. Too injury prone. And he's currently a dirty aquatic bird.

    Why is Kopitar in a pic with a P-51 Mustang in the background?

    So is that the coaches fault? Asking for a friend...

    How is Gallant 'ruining' them? Isn't team success > individual players ? From what I've read most NYR fans are happy thus far. Hating on former Red Wings who happen to be good friends with Grand Master Y will not be tolerated

    12/1 GDT_Tuzzi Gang Sadness_Kraken vs Wings in 15 Minutes

    I believe we really need 1 last opportunity to nab a quality player with a pick somewhere between 5 thru 10 (at least having more options to choose from - for all we know Yzerman/Verbeek/scouts might feel the 'BPA' could be some kid that's listed #7, or #8 overall by the likes of Button/McKenzie). I agree it's great to see this young team coming together, but in the long run is making the playoffs, or finishing 11th or higher in our best interest?

    Who needs to give away a new car at home games when instead the fans can watch a guy biting the opponents? Lemieux is living rent free in Tkachuk's head and has his dirty underwear on the bedroom floor.

    That's what makes him entertaining...He's such a rabid and spastic homer.

    Raymond > Zadina. It’s not even close.

    Clearly "pro-Canadian" and "anti-Murican" bias...

    1st five minutes Wings looked good...Past ten minutes they've looked horrible.

    Poll: Which Player Survives The Rebuild

    I personally believe every player listed is capable of staying in Detroit as long as their contract demands are reasonable and they're willing to accept lesser roles on the team when 'better' players are acquired and get more ice time. Every forward on that list is a 3rd/4th liner, and Hronek a 2nd pair Dman. I personally never saw it - those flashes of a top line sniper...

    Agreed, but keep in mind that Beach could’ve filled a report himself…What would have happened to his career after that ?

    While I agree here - however the only way for this to take place is for Aldrich to have a criminal record and the Blackhawks execs, or Beach had the ability to make this happen.

    Wouldn't the BoG and NHLPA respectively have to purge them from office? In a weird twist I find Beach/Chevy in a similar position back in 2010...If Beach decides to go to the police his career is certainly threatened (keeping in mind as an adult he could've gone to the authorities on his own accord)...If Chevy speaks out in the meeting he too risks getting booted outta the old boys club thus never becoming a GM with the Jets.

    Surprised as well...Part of me is pleased with the decision by the league (although we'll see how the Jets respond) and the other part leaves me scratching my head...per Elliotte Friedman...

    I'm always amazed at the number of exec and coaching positions ie: special assistant to the GM, video coach, skills coach, etc. All of those in that meeting are done like Thanksgiving turkey and it's spilled over on to a handful of players. Having the handsome brute Marc Bergevin active in the league is good for the league.

    Joke's on you - the team jet (actually the Canadian teams charter thru Air Canada) is in San Jose so you're flying coach with a stop in Atlanta 1st. EDIT - I sorta feel for Chevy considering he's likely not the one who came up with the idea of sweeping it under the rug while Assist GM in Chicago...In that meeting you have the Pres/VP/GM/Head Coach out ranking him (apparently Coach Q was noted being the most concerned about the incident being disruptive as they were on their way thru the Western Conference Championships)...Probably sat in the corner, nodded politely, and kept his opinions to himself...Certainly guilt by association though which will likely cost him his job.
