Howard for Raddysh, straight up.

No!

... and Hughes'...

Zadina is starting to heat up. Through 14 games, he has 10 points (6 goals, 4 assists). He's only scored in 3 games this season though (2 in each game). Hronek has 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists) in 8 games.

Zadina just scored his 2nd of the game to give the Griffins 2-1 lead.

We're tied for 4th with 34 goals from players 25 and under... 1. VAN - 43 2. EDM - 37 3. TOR - 35 4. CBJ - 34 4. CGY - 34 4. DET - 34 4. NSH - 34 8. WPG - 33 9. TBL - 32 10. COL - 30 11. BOS - 28 11. NYR - 28 13. MTL - 27 13. OTT - 27 15. CAR - 26 15. PHI - 26 17. SJS - 25 18. ARI - 24 19. FLA - 22 20. DAL - 18 21. CHI - 17 22. STL - 15 23. ANA - 14 24. BUF - 13 25. MIN - 12 26. NJD - 10 27. PIT - 10 28. VGK - 8 28. WSH - 8 30. LAK - 6 31. NYI - 3

It's possible we could add Hughes, Veleno, Zadina and Hronek to the lineup next season. We could go from one of the oldest teams in the league, to one of the youngest in less than 2 years. Exciting times are ahead.

ChoLAWski!!!

Jack Hughes. Not even close in my opinion.

Left-handed. Pass... Nah, I'd have interest in any of the players mentioned at the right price.

I liked the Bertuzzi pick right off the hop, but will admit to being a little pissed about the Cholowski pick. Mainly because I legitimately never even heard of the dude before, and I was up on most of the top prospects. Being pissed lasted all of a few minutes though. Then he was my new favorite prospect. Much like Rasmussen last year, and even Berggren this year. There were players I would have preferred in those spots, but as soon as they're drafted by the Red Wings, I love them. I hope Rasmussen and Berggren turn out to be beasts like Bert and Cholo. Also, F*** Chychrun. I hope he turns out to be an injury prone bust. Not really. Kind of. Maybe...

https://wingsnation.com/2018/11/13/why-the-red-wings-should-trade-for-daniel-sprong/ I'm not sure if Sprong is actually available but this is the sort of "outside the box" (at least to Red Wings standards) moves I'd like to see. Young player with high upside, that may just need a change of scenery. He put up very strong numbers in the QMJHL and AHL, is only 21 years old and a right-handed winger. Checks all the boxes. "A prolific scoring winger who possesses an elite-level skillset: has dynamic skating ability, is a creative passer, and has incredible puckhandling ability. While he is offensively dominant, he is also defensively responsible. A very hard working player who strives to improve all aspects of his game. Absolutely electric." (Curtis Joe, EP 2014) Sounds like a low risk, high reward move, if we could somehow acquire him. The article suggests that we may be able to get him for one of our pending free agents, Nyquist, Vanek or Jensen (or Daley). I think Jensen would be a decent starting point. Maybe add a player like Ehn or Holmstrom would get it done? No idea, but I do really like the idea of this sort of trade... Thoughts?

Red Wings win 4-2 Cholowski - 1G, 2A Chychrun - 0PTS, -3, injured ego...

Which is why they desperately need to acquire a goaltender. I think they're good enough to still have a chance at a playoff spot if they fill the void in net.

Both Quick and Campbell out with a torn meniscus... The Kings currently sit dead last, with the worst goal differential in the NHL. Are they that bad, or have they just had s***ty luck / bad goaltending? Would they have any interest in Howard or taking Bernier back? Should we trade one if they come calling? What sort of return could we get?...

Not close to being enough. Unfortunately, I don't see us being a very good trade partner with the Leafs right now. IF they end up trading Nylander, it will be to a team like Carolina that has a surplus of high end defensemen. The only defenseman in our entire system that the Leafs might have interest in, is Cholowski, but even then, they might not bight, since they're likely looking for a right-handed defenseman.

We need to trade Howard ASAP...

Yeah, that's what it'll likely be. Above is what I'd like to see. I've liked Frk's game the past couple games and the FML line has been pretty good in the past.
