I think he's the luckiest glory hound in the world.

Ok, I want the oil now too.

He looks like Dustin from Stranger Things.
I would like to see him trade down and clear out a bad contract.

Ha.  The officiating is sad.  Charging call on Petterson was laughable.  2 minutes for jumping.

Why I asked the question. I think we have 2 future top 6 forwards here. Danielson is the likely c and move Kasper to w. Id like to see Kasper on Larkins wing along with Raymond next season. Danielson may need some time to adjust to pro hockey but should be the top c in GR to start next season.

1.  I wont be upset if good players get a little more than they should.  The Chiarot contract is hideous though.  That upsets me.  9 on that one 

Yes lets walk our best winger straight to free agency. Theres no scenario where Yzerman shouldnt lock up Ray and Seider to max term. $7.5m and $8.5m respectively would be good contracts now and be some of the best contracts league wide in the next year or 2. Stop trying to cheap out on talent especially homegrown talent.

Also, if anyone is watching the Florida vs. Boston series right now thinking "man we need a guy like Sam Bennett", pay attention to how Marco Kasper plays tonight. There are A LOT of similarities in their games. After seeing how some of our more important prospects have developed this season I'm pumped for the future of this team.

Seider 8x8 and Raymond 6x8 will get it done.  Lock em up.  Both go balls every shift.

FATALITY!

He's Bedards 1st cousin, it'll be rigged again for Chicago in '26.
So they'll pick another favorite or do a legit lotto this year.

Forsberg-Pettersson-Nylander
Bratt-Zibanejad-Lindholm
Kempe-Karlsson-Raymond
Nyquist-Eriksson-Ek-Arvidsson
Olofsson/Rakell
Hedman-Karlsson
Dahlin-Andersson
Lindholm-Ekholm
Forsling
Ullmark
Markstrom
Side note anyone notice Nyquist just had a career year 75pts at 34 years old?

So we'll let Kane's PPG go, Ghost's 60 points go, replace them with rookies and then keep a defender that can't defend and makes too many mistakes. 

Well its Utah so it should probably be Mothersfvckers

I Guarantee that Rempe drops em first game with Wash next year.  This kid aint scared of Wilson.  Tom should consider himself lucky that he has no black eyes while hitting the links.

yup.  And it rubs off on the other guys.  Even Panarin is playing dirty now.  Love it.
He gets more done in 3 shifts than Chiarot does in an entire season.  

Someone posted yesterday that ALL of our prospects should look to Raymond's improved play and ask for his workout routine.   They need to add strength!

And this is why the Bruins make the playoffs every year. Brad starts pro-hypno brainwasing day 1. Someone send this article to Dylan and Mo.
Personally I prefer the babcockian approach:

If you ladies leave my rink, if you survive prospect training, you will be a shopwrecker. You will be a minister of truculence praying for scrums. But until that day, you are LGW whipping boys. You are the lowest form of life on the internet. You are not even human fuqqing beings. You are nothing but unorganized puck-watching pieces of floater shid! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no xenophobic bigotry here. I do not look down on Svens, Teemus, Slavas or Jean-Claudes. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all benders who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Wheel. Do you pigeons understand that?

If there's a fit he'll be back. I hope they find a fit.

I will disagree just on the last 4 words. Could mean the work towards the playoffs doesn't stop and I want to be part of it. Could mean the work to get back to better shape to help move this Orig 6 back to glory doesn't stop. 
He won't make real decision till July 1 unless he and Stevie agree to terms that benefit both. 

would this be a tad better if this were to happen 
           Jake Walman – Moritz Seider
          Jakob Chychrun – Simon Edvinsson
           Albert Johansson – Ben Chiaro

Emily Kaplan: Wings are shopping Holl. 

We need another Dman in the mold of Chiarot. 

Trade Berggren, #15, a 2nd to Columbus for Werenski (I bet he'd waive his NMC to come here) and they can draft Adam Jiricek and have the brothers on their team. It would have to wait until the actual pick to see if Jiricek is still on the board, of course
