Johnz96- I like your plan to trade down and take McCarron, if Mantha isn't available. Or why not package our 2nd and 3rds for a change and get them both?

Following a model of a sport that doesn't economically, nor culturally relate is not going to be successful. Football is more mainstream for casual viewership besides being America's favorite sport. You can suck and still fill up a stadium. I give you the Detroit Lions. Taking from the rich and giving to the poor has never worked in any society. I give you our economy/society and the Florida Panthers. However I digress, we as a whole will never agree on cap vs no-cap. I would just like to see TV/sales ratings pre Bettman and during.

Don't worry Bettman knows what he is doing lol...

No dman until the 3rd round at the earliest...

I would be shocked if Sammy gets bought out, even though I think he should. Holland seems to have a serious hard on for him.

It was more of a conflict of personalities with the coach.

I think he is the perfect 4th liner. If I were Holland I would resign him before Flip.

I think the organization feels Abby is gonna develop into that guy. But I still would like Bickell and Stalberg but room would need to be created with buyouts.

It's a little early to start talking about Pulks, and Frk. Pulks just got to America and Frk hasn't even played with anyone over 18 yet. Sheahan, Ferraro, and Jarnkrok will be up before those two. Look for Miller to be resigned due to him being a utility player...

I think it is correct. It goes by regular season record until you make the conference finals if I'm not mistaken.

We didn't lose because we weren't tough enough. So adding a tough guy that can't forecheck, play defense, or score isn't the answer. We don't need another fighter as a healthy scratch in the playoffs, how about sign someone who will contribute. You don't want him because he played so well that he was a major reason why our team lost is completely irrational.

Why Scott? We could sign Bickell and he could not only be a tough guy but also play a lil hockey while he is at it.

Ryder + Dickell would be nice if we strike out on Horton/Clarkson/Ribeiro. We would address goal scoring and toughness.

ISS in their latest mock draft, have Mantha/Gauthier/Zykov all selected by 23. They also moved McCarron to 26. I hope they are wrong.

He isn't our top goal scorer anymore, and due to his decline in production he is going to be a 20 goal scorer. But your point remains it still doesn't make sense to cut him, however he should be a trade candidate. I don't want him getting board and influencing our young players.

Kronwall is due there is no doubt about it. I'm going with a Kronwall hat trick. 1 goal, 1 assist, and 1 "you got Kronwalled"... 4-1 wings (Kronner, Dats, and Mule x 2)

Kipwinger-"Yeah they deserved to win that game in the same way that the kids camped out in New York deserve jobs. Entitled little s***s." Post of the year lol #Octopi Chicago...

Douchebag?

I like Bailey, he just doesn't have the offensive upside of Mantha. At this stage bailey is a better two way player tho.

Seeing that Mantha and Gauthier will most likely be gone by 22+ a high risk/high reward pick is the way to go. Zykov has the most upside of who should be left.

Is there any player in the NHL that is worthy of playing for the red wings in your opinion?

He is, and given the cap problems Chicago is going to run into I doubt he gets resigned.

About 1 million per year too much, let him walk. Helm can center the 2nd, Anderson the 3rd, and Emmy the 4th. Plus Jarnkrok is gonna get some time with the big club next year, and will only be a two hour ride to the Joe in case of an emergency.

Not necessarily. Holland will just wait until he is 35 and then resign him to an overpaying contract. (This is sarcasm for those of you without a sense of humor)

This, Edler or Kassian but other than that nothing else interests me. Sign Stalberg and one of Horton/Clarkson and call it an off-season...
