Krsmith likes him https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/286955/graeme-clarke He’s still only turning 18 in April so time to develop , he’s got upside #61 on bob McKenzie’s rankings , if we can land more 2nd and 3rds id take a chance , I’m all about going for homerun type picks than the sure 6’6 guy who will play and be a bottom line guy , same with dmen

Been saying it for the longest time jimmy howard to the flames is the most trade that makes the most sense, especially after yesterday’s games where Kane scored a garbage goal I can’t see how they don’t upgrade the goalie situation

He wants to turn pro this season so I’m sure if we traded for him we would know before the deal happened if he’d sign with us or not Can land Clarke with that 3rd round pick

He wants to turn pro and I can’t see the preds giving him ice time now and a long playoff run , Detroit would be perfect ... if we’d smarten up and get rid of Daley and other garbage pieces but we definetly have to make this deal happen

Haha ya I noticed him , haven’t checked up on more info on him yet but I will and definetly would take a chance if we can add more picks , especially top 60 ... Ryder Donovan was on the list as well #’s 5-6&7 and have my attention , I really hope we start shipping some dead weight soon ha bob McKenzie has Clarke at 61 and Donovan 63 I guess you win

https://thehockeywriters.com/2019-nhl-draft-risers-february/ Some intriguing risers , hope we can land a few more picks in the top 60

This nonsense again .... they had conversations but like I said the deal doesn’t happen unless Vegas gets the player they wanted and with the time running out on deadline day and Vegas doing so great in their inaugural season and wanting to make a splash Tatar was the best they can do at that moment but hey your pretty funny maybe you should go to a open mic night in some l.a comedy club and give like Andy dick a run for his money He hasn’t been paying his phone bill since the Tatar trade when his phone rang and startled him

I hope to god we trade a few d’s and make room for hronek to play the last twenty games and get further nhl experience , he can then go back down for a griffins playoff run

Well if veleno’s a center along with Larkin and nielsen where would duchene fit if nielsen wasn’t dealt? Is Rasmussen officially written off as a center as well ? Plus if we actually land hughes we sure as well wouldn’t need to get duchene or another center. As much as I really like kakko looking at what’s happening with laine in Winnipeg hughes might be what zadina needs and two lines of hughes/zadina and mantha/Larkin might make us a dangerous team for many years

Lol hey man it’s my opinion if you can’t see that we got lucky Vegas’s deal fell through and time was running out and they wanted to make a splash cause they had such a great thing going on their first season in the league and wanted to get fans going than what I can tell you it worked out great for us so I’m not complaining. Montreal has said they won’t give up a 1st for a rental ... anyways we’ll see what happens trust me I hope I’m wrong, the more guys ahead of Nyquist that can be resigned the better and hopefully panarin somehow ends up in Florida after all and I just heard mikko koivu is out for the year so maybe the wild jump in on Nyquist now I’d do caps considering they partied during the off season and how hard it is to repeat they might be outed first round , I like alexeyev as well but doubt they’d deal him

I hope your right but I don’t see too many teams trading their first round picks after those guys and Tampa can’t trade their first cause of a stipulation with nyr,sj traded away their first as well I think Boston,jets,Nashville for sure will trade a top pick but they’ll go for those 4 mentioned before Nyquist , there’s no way Holland repeats what he did with Vegas he got lucky thay a deal fell through and Vegas wanted to make a splash when things were going so good for them it all just fell on our lap last season i hope we get a 1st but I’m hoping at the very least we get something like 2 2nds or a 2nd and a pretty good prospect , just don’t want us hanging on to him

The only good news we can get is to hear stone,panarin,duchene and simmonds have resigned cause those guys are ahead of Gus and really getting in the way of us landing a 1st

Wow I’m getting attacked by the grammar police , after being beat up constantly in school it must feel good to go online and act like the cool kids for once hey .... good on ya guys I didn’t make up the fact that duchene wants 8-9 per but again I couldn’t give two s***s what you think you’ll see July 1 .... your right I read quickly prior and thought you said he scored despite being in defensive teams , same with your 3rd part didn’t notice he scored his huge 4 goals in 14 with avs prior to his trade , doesn’t change the facts he’s not worth the money he wants just to get 60 pts a season if were lucky for a second line center Anyways I’m done with this Matt duchene nonsense

https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/kings doughty is making 11 per as of next Well I hope your right with trouba , don’t think he’ll get 8+ but I can see some idiot offering 7-7.5 but I hope he comes to Detroit well if karlsson signs in Detroit it’ll change the team completely and make us playoff contenders right away (not what we want i know) but maybe it intices stone to join his buddy or other guys ...I’d be down for a scenario like that maybe but we would 100% have to get rid of deadweight anyways I watching leafs lunch and they mentioned something now with long injury players changing? We’re gonna have to leave space to then add mule and hank and then the cap goes back down and we get salary relief but by then it’ll be too late to sign guys? Don’t know if anyone’s heard about it... like if have 77 million after those moves when the season starts our cap is locked to 77 mill and we can’t go up higher

Your like the last person I’m worried about being taken seriously what teams with extremely defensive systems are you talking about ? I don’t recall Colorado avalanche being some great nhl defensive team ... you just said if he’s producing second line center numbers and he’s gonna want around 9 mill per , just because someone’s a center and available shouldn’t mean we have to target them especially in a cap era and yes he is a floater and doesn’t care despite all the mediocre reasons you think justify giving a guy 8.5-9 mill per to be a 2nd line center , he’s scored over 25 goals once the last 7 years but hey if that’s what you want go for it , I’d rather pass on a guy who just conveniently shows up when it’s a contract year, there’s a reason Colorado got rid of him

Duchene has literally floated through out his career ,he just doesn’t give a crap now your entitled to like duchene even though your being “obtuse” and given no reason for why you like the player but I’ll pass on his services. He’d fit in nice in Winnipeg cause they got so many good pieces he wouldn’t have to be counted on as much.

Well he’s getting what 5.5 now? Players always want more than what they’re currently getting so gotta figure he’s gonna start 7+ ... right handed dman as well right ? Highest paid dman is doughty I think .... and the rationale with these guys are the caps going up So my 5.5 3 ya ago is 7.5 etc.... anyways with trouba ya I’d go the numbers you gave him and that’s it but I don’t know about 7 ya for a guy who’s around 30 pts yearly but I guess if cap keeps going up it can be tolerable down the line what about karlsson? I mean if Alfie talked us up how can we possibly say no to a dman who can put up 70-85 pts yearly , he struggled a bit in sj cause burns was the guy there , new team etc... but if he comes to Detroit he’s the guy instantly , would also make mike green expendable and a nice return for us if we ship him

I’m saying he’s the exact type of player that would be a playoff warrior , guy who gets down and dirty and get s*** done not the vanek type who skate by and do f all duchene is the last guy I’d f***en want ,he’s not a winner and hasn’t put up numbers to brag about , first time he’s getting a pt a game in god knows how long happens to be in his contract year with a team no one cares about ... 28 yrs old x7 brings him to 35 ... hard pass trouba would be a nice add but again all depends on the price if he comes here asking for 8-9 he can take a hike

What do you guys think it would take to sign mark stone on July 1? 8.5 x7 enough? Just thought of him with these ridiculous contracts given to matthews and soon marner who yes are very good but still haven’t had a 70 pt season or accomplished anything in the playoffs and yet are given ridiculous money that basically screws up teams future caps ... look at l.a , Chicago and all these great rfa’s this summer that will have crazy money now mark stone is a great 2 way guy who’s been hitting the 60-65 pt mark and is a bit older and someone who would be a playoff warrior but im sure some team who can’t convince anyone to go like Columbus/N.Y. I will give 9.5 per

Ya I think there’s a zero chance they deal Foote ... as for raddysh who knows , just think teams like Tampa will be reluctant to deal away top prospects after dealing some already knowing those are the types of guys with cheap entry contracts they’ll need to fill up their rosters and yes we can ask for them but unfortunately I think it would take more than nyquist to land some teams top prospects .... could be wrong

Could be wrong but hasn’t the lightning been dealing top prospects away , so pretty sure they’d rather hold on to prospects and deal picks , maybe can even flip a 3rd rd pick of ours for a 2nd of theirs as well ... anyways as long as we can have basically a separate deal with Nyquist as well I’d do it

Ummmm they might be so desperate to get rid of Callahan for salary purposes next season so would it be possible to get the first for taking on that almost 6 mill cap hit (forget exact number) and trading Nyquist elsewhere this deadline and getting more assets ?

I’m watching leafs lunch and there talking about Tampa likely having to give up a first to get rid of Ryan Callahan ... probably a summer move , any chance Holland steps up and takes it on to get us a first rounder? I mean we have an abundance of garbage but if it means r land a first we should rid ourselves of helm or whomever to fit Callahan for one year

Mike smith has been garbage and rittich is 26 with barely any nhl experience , it would be idiotic to go into the playoffs with that tandem considering how great the team is doing

Only chance of landing a first for Howard is if he lands in Calgary , there’s zero doubt they won’t update their goaltending situation ... we’d have to toss in extras though to make it happen which I would in a heart beat , if he wants to come back we resign him July 1 howard and a 3rd for a 1st ... or Howard and glendening for a 1st and 3rd Or kylington ... something along with howard same with nyquist nyquist and Jensen to Nashville for their first if we have to package s*** in order to get firsts then we need to make it happen , we wanna keep these guys just resign them July 1 , it should be a no brainer
