Biega shouldn't be in the lineup most nights. Lindstrom and Seider are both two very big question marks still. I think Cholowski should be ideally in the AHL still. That leaves 3 players (half a defense) guaranteed to be on the team. That and we will have injuries like always. Heaven forbid two Dmen go down like always and we will be calling up Lashoffs/Hicketts/McIlraths/McIsaacs/Lashoffs/Woods again. I'd rather be calling up one or two of Cholo/Seider/Lindstrom/Biega when those injuries occur. I think Krug would be a mistake, but any solid Dman at $5 mil would be a welcome addition to me.

I think Ehn's defensive abilities are light years ahead of Turgeon's. Which is why Turgeon find himself in the AHL and Ehn finds himself in the NHL despite them being the same age. I'll disagree with the translation factor on this one. I don't think Turgeon gets 15 pts on this team. Maybe on a different one. I think Ehn probably gets 15 pts on a different team as well. When players like Abdelkader, Nielsen, Perlini, Erne, Ehn, Glendening, Helm, and Filppula are all struggling to put up 5, 10, 15, 20 pts, I highly doubt Turgeon would jump on board and provide 15. I think Turgeon is finished. Way too many better forwards ahead of him.

The Detroit Red Wings have signed UFA Mike Green... There's actually a semi decent pool of defenders possibly on the market this year Pietrangelo Krug Vatanen Schultz Barrie Andy Greene Brodie Ceci Tanev Kulikov Scandella Hamonic Braun Gudas Dillon Edmundson Shattenkirk Stone Polak Sekera Stevie will get at least one. I could see Andy Greene coming home to Michigan to play his final season. I like Gudas for the entertainment value. Other than that even a lot of the crappier names I listed are probably upgrades over what we currently have. Hopefully Stevie can grab the one with character and good leadership.

Like. Guy is a great fill-in Dman. Bolded are the only ones I see coming back. Gagner - I could see the team wanting his vet presence, but if he leaves who really cares. Mantha/Bertuzzi/Fabbri - Obvious re-sign's. Erne - For better or worse I think Yzerman will be loyal to this guy. He was only expected to be a grinder anyway. Hirose/Svechnikov - Young and inexperienced still, cheap re-signs. Timashov - Undecided about what I think about this player Ehn - Great depth player, easy re-sign Bowey - As much as I hate how he plays sometimes, he seems to VERY well liked by his teammates. I could see him catching a re-sign just for this. Perlini - What can I say, he's still young enough on paper to maybe re-sign, but between him offering absolutely nothing on the ice and the rumors of his lazy work ethic and personality, I can see us just taking the loss on this one and moving on. Turgeon - I see this player as the next Emmerton/Andersson/Ferraro, and maybe even worse than some of those names. There's too many better players in front of him already (Svechnikov/Smith/Hirose/Rasmussen) and he's probably going to get leapfrogged by Veleno and whoever we add in the 1st round this year. If we do re-sign, I think its really only for GR depth. Right, I think Gagner is already ahead of Fil and Niel in my book. I guess I don't understand what you see in Turgeon over Ehn. Both are probably only ever gonna be 4th liners, but Ehn is already a pretty good 4th liner wih 100+ games under his belt and he's the same age as Turgeon. Turgeon is looking like he may not even make the NHL... First off, you can call me a band-wagoner if you like, but if Yzerman stands pat at all skating positions I most likely will be Audi 500 next season. Maybe only watch GR and games where Seider is up. There's just nothing to be gained or enjoyed by watching this same lineup another season. That said, I don't think it's possible for Y to remain pat. We will be losing 3 NHLers at D (Daley, Ericsson, Goldbeef) and possibly also Bowey and Kyle Wood. Plus we already subtracted Mike Green a short time ago, so really we're losing 4 this season. Dekeyser - Hronek Nemeth - Bowey Biega - Lindstrom Cholowski - Seider McIsaac - Wood Hicketts - McIlrath Lashoff I assume Yzerman will want to add at least 2, if not 3, Dmen to that depth chart. Ideally I would want those to be NHLers who can force Biega/Lindstrom/Bowey/Cholowski/Seider to fight for NHL spots. Unfortunately this most likely would have been a good time to get Alec Regula under contract, but maybe Yzerman wants to sign Tuomisto and Johansson already? IDK despite their success it seems kinda early on those two still. I think I'd like to sign a solid defender to put on top of Dekyser to play with Hronek, and another Nemeth style depth guy. In regards to forwards we can probably stand pat though, unless Yzerman purges a buncha RFAs. We probably have at the very least Rasmussen and another forward coming up next season like Smith/Hirose/Lafreniere. I wouldn't mind Yzerman spinning the wheel on a 2nd line C again (especially if Gagner is gone) but otherwise we probably have enough wingers.

Part of me really wants to have a serious phone call with a client stark naked now

Obviously there's a lot of appeal to working from home. But knowing myself (prone to disorganization and distraction) I think going to work everyday is good for me. I'd be like @MabusIncarnate naked eating lunch at 9:30 AM with hockey games on

They dont use the same VPN for office and remote? Honest question for work from home lifestyle... Do you even bother to get ready in the morning? I imagine myself and it would probably result in me in sweatpants all day.

Fingers crossed that all my work trips get canceled. God bless you corona virus, may you bring the American economy to its knees so we dont have to work anymore

Of course I missed Berts goal

I called the CEO of climate change and that's not what he told me

So basically the new CEO audited the entire organization and whatdaya know everything that was wrong stemmed back to Melnyk, and Eugene didn't like that hard truth. Friedman is right. What executive is gonna wanna go there and be CEO if this is how ownership runs things and you can't do your job? Furthermore that's going to trickle down through the entire organization. What a joke of a franchise. Just sell them or move them already.

I'm sure Yzerman is watching all the top prospects, but yeah he was spotted in Mannheim with Hakan Andersson. Sure seems like there may be some serious interest there. Stutzle and Seider are also apparently good friends IRL. That possible chemistry alone makes me wanna take a chance on him. Like Lidstrom/Holmstrom it'll be Seider/Stutzle Byfield, more like BUSTfield

LCA desperate to sell tickets right meow

Sounds like a whole buncha fence sitting to me. He's better than your average 1st overall, but not generational, but he could be, but not as good as McDavid, but clearly better than Hirschier, but not by that much

So then Lafren is as good as McDavid? I'm reading that correctly yes? I just wish you had more substance than people who disagree with me are "dumb"

I absolutely stand by that statement. He's gonna be a multiple norris winning Dman. Hughes and Kakko will not accomplish similar feats. Yet anyone dares question Lafrenaires ranking, you remark that the poster is clearly "dumb"... Then why are you here? To shill for the media? If no dumb internet tool can ever have an interpretation approaching Pronmans superior take, then you are wasting your time here. Why do you care what us dumb tools think?
