Hahahaha 97.1 might actually be a worse source than Eklund

I mean, they'd have to pay me a lot to stay in that dumpster fire too, I guess Can't wait to see how far apart Vegas and William Karlsson are.....

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/526979/luke-hughes also defense. They’re a reverse Staal fam.

It’s been speculated that if Quinn goes back, Jack will follow. Nothing concrete yet though. Then, in a few years, we have Luke Hughes to look forward to. Supposedly he’s the best skater of the three (At this point in his development anyway). He’ll be 15 soon.

I figured he’d probably go back another year, especially if his brother is going there. Did he commit yet? Michigan is about have a good year... unfortunately

That extra 10% he took from Hoffman is actually what started their whole feud.

Because of the NTC.

Good indeed! I’d still bet on him staying in Winnipeg but hopefully not and at least we’ll finally know for sure in a couple years Counter argument: Karlsson-Trouba top pairing

If he gets another 1 year ruling next offseason, he’d be an unrestricted free agent the following year. He’ll be 26. I’d bet on him having more than 3-4 good seasons left if he keeps going to arbitration until he hits UFA at 26 years old.

A second isn’t reaching for sure, and I’m not trying to knock Howard. I have no harsh feelings against the guy. I just feel like there are more variables at play with goalie deadline deals than player ones, that’s all. And while I’m not going to wish injury on anyone, it would be cool to see him take over as the starter for a contender at the deadline and go on a cup run.

Glad i could be of assistance

I agree he’s probably worth more, but I think it’ll depend on the goalie market at the time. We may get lucky, but not a lot of playoff contenders are looking to add a goalie at the deadline. And non-contenders who want him would just wait until the off season to either trade even less for his rights, or just sign him as a UFA.

I think I know what the problem was. Blashill wanted the wings to trust the prOHcess when they should be trusting the prAHcess....

It’s just everyone saying they don’t know for sure yet.. which is understandable. It’s been the same process the past 3 or 4 off seasons, I’m sure. Until camp starts and he’s not there/talking at all and/or Z tells us that he can’t play, there’s no need to worry. There are just articles pointing it out because there’s nothing going on at this stage in the off season.. gotta get them sweet sweet clicks. (I don’t know what happened to the font size there, that wasn’t intentional)

I think he is.

Three cups across the next two years? @Jonas Mahonas? Gotta love “rumors” with absolutely no source. Peak off season stuff right there yeah this deal makes zero sense for sure.

I should’ve bolded the first part of that last sentence too. I get the point. Although I can’t say which part of Canada it’s from, I’ve definitely heard “aboot” type words from time to time. Although, not as exaggerated at many Americans think it is. Part of the company I work for is based in Windsor, and I’ve heard it from some coworkers, so maybe close by there? I’m not sure.. just thinking out loud here, but it would make a little more sense if the extended “ouh” kind of sound were near the US boarder, based on the exaggeration of it in the states.

Accents are less noticeable when you grow up around them. I had no idea people from Michigan had a different accent than anywhere else in the Midwest until I visited other states. There’s definitely a Canadian accent, but it’s a lot more subtle than Americans like to think. I’m sure that’s partially dependent on where in Canada a person is from though. Re: bolded, I totally agree. A deep southern US accent sounds like an entirely different language sometimes.

But basically how arbitration always happens is, they both agree with the decision and worry about Trouba’s contract later.

It’s Dan Cleary.

Two more years and Bogo is ours! We’ve got him now!

So excited to have the same Trouba discussions again in a year or two

Yeahh they don’t turn out a lot of NHL players, unfortunately.... Krug, Abby, Keith, Miller (x2), Petry, Liles.. I think that’s about it recently?

Yes! Would love to see MSU Hockey have some level of relevance again..
