    Taylor Hall?

    Krug is the only UFA I'd throw any term at this summer, even then only if the cap hit isn't too outrageous. Hall IMO comes with too many risks. It already looks like his best years may be behind him, and any contract he signs will likely look awful as he approaches his mid 30s. Krug, on the other hand, has been extremely consistent in this league since his debut. He is also a proven playoff performer. With the style of game he plays, I do not see a significant drop in production from him in his 30s. It would also be nice to have a GOOD veteran player on the team for once.

    If we don't win the lottery

    As long as we end up with one of Lafreniere, Byfield, Stutzle, Rossi, or Drysdale, we will get a very important core player. It rots my s*** that the Sens are gonna get two of them.

    If Lafreniere pulls an Eric Lindros on the Wings

    Lindros refused to play in Quebec City because their owner was involved in a sexual harassment scandal. The fact that nobody seems to know this is a prime example of how garbage media is.

    2020 Offseason

    that's better haha. ******* text Cap wouldn't allow that, but imagine their current team if they got legit returns for those guys.

    I'd take on Seabrook if it were the primary part of acquiring Strome. Chicago dumping that contract would be HUGE for them. Wings will suck for most of the remainder of his contract. If the team does somehow get good and his contract gets in the way, it'll be an easy buyout to swallow at that point.

    2019-20 Prospects Thread

    I think he'll get a fair shot. I honestly think Yzerman would waive and demote Abby before waiving Svech. He was on a tear before hockey got shut down, so hopefully another summer in the gym can do him wonders.

    Pretty sure the only reason he didn't have to this season was because he missed all of last season

    I could be wrong, but I think it's do or die for Svech going into next season. He either makes the team, is traded, or waived.

    2020 Draft Thread

    Why in the hell would Buffalo not be happy with Dahlin? He's a 19 year old dman scoring at a 0.68 ppg pace, and consistently improving. Dude is gonna be the best dman in the league for many years sooner rather than later.

    Athanasiou v Gagner

    We'll be in great shape if the cap takes a significant hit

    Athanasiou v Gagner

    I just hope Ganger sticks around for a little bit. He is the kind of veteran who is good to have around during a rebuild.
  14. This. Even when an ENTIRE SEASON was lost, the draft odds that year were based on the rankings of the previous season. Yes, every team had a chance at #1, but garbage teams like the Pens had a far better chance.
  15. If they are willing to play games in September, and then delay next season to start in November (to use Oct for draft, UFA, etc), I can see it happening. Even if they have to limit the playoffs to one city with no fans initially, as they eventually roll back restrictions.

    My point was mostly in agreement with what you said, while putting things into perspective for others. The three guys we have are young and still growing. The three guys the Blues have are in their prime years. And that the big issue with the Wings is most everyone else on the roster. And that IF the three Wings players in question turn out to be anywhere in the realm of these St. Louis counterparts, we'll be in quite good shape considering the next couple drafts will likely net us first rounders that'll be even better than anyone we have now.

    Fun fact: Swap ROR, Tarasenko, and Pietrangelo for Larkin, Zadina, and Seider, and the Wings are still a bottom 10 team.

    Report: Detroit to name Steve Yzerman as GM

    It'll be the most entertaining meltdown in LGW history and I'm here for it.
  21. Bow down to your bidet overlords
  22. The issue with your suggestion is that teams already IN a playoff spot would be bumped out. That is a giant can of worms the league will not, and rightfully shouldn't touch.

    Sorry to hear that Larkin challenges your masculinity so badly.
  25. Dude, the likely scenario has already been leaked. 24 teams still with a shot at making it. It's the quickest way to bring things down to 16 teams for the normal playoffs. These lockdowns are expected to last 8 weeks at least. No chance they finish the season, even if shortened. Generating a schedule to get all teams to 72 games opens up an entire can of worms not even worth getting into.
