You're absolutely right, that's they way I would have done it if I was running the NHL. However, all these extra trades are fun for me SO BACK OFF

Me when my friends bring me to concerts of newer bands I've never bothered to listen to

Most of the mock drafts I've seen lately have him going #1 as well

Sure seems like that's what'll happen Also league-wide roster freeze begins tomorrow at 3 PM. Hoping tomorrow is like a trade-deadline, cause today, besides the "sexypants" rumors, has been slow.

Hate to post more of the same, but the bobfather says all the talk right now is surrounding Hamonic, Brodin, and Vatanen. He believes, because there is so much talk, all three will definitely move. We're probably just waiting for one trade to go down, then the flood gates will open, and the other two will fall like dominoes. Dreger reiterating that Montreal is going hard after Brodin. Rangers entering the mix as well. They want to exchange Stepan for a top RH D-man. (guessing Vatanen is there guy, but not sure Ducks want another top 6 C)

Ok, but you've routinely stated that you also like other players in the first round outside of Tippett, just that Tippett is your favorite and first choice... why then is Pettsersson a waste? Pettersson is ranked much higher than Yamamoto for a reason. And no, OHL is a much lower league than the Swedish Hockey League. Rob Vollman of the NHL, who does the translation factors between leagues, has the leagues in terms of skill ranked as such: 1. NHL 2. KHL 3. SHL 4. AHL 5. SM-Liiga/Swiss NLA 6. NCAA 7. OHL 8. WHL 9. QMJHL

"Hey Ken, how the trades coming?" Ken:

Freidman predicting Eberle will end up in Colorado or Long Island Nichols/Freidman: Tyson Barrie is available if it's a straight up "hockey trade" So perhaps we'll see a Hamonic for Eberle type deal, or a Barrie for Eberle type deal.

Yeah I posted the same thing in the Griffins thread. The Griffins banned him from drinking alcohol this year. Unfortunately I think his lifestyle off the ice was too much for the Wings.

No

Then why do you dislike Pettersson, probably the most offensivly gifted player outside of Patrick and Hischier?

The Bobfather says he will be very surprised if Hamonic is not dealt by the Isles More Bob Mckenzie: Fowler and Ducks in talks for him to re-sign. Vatanen likely to be traded. Brodin (not Dumba) likely to be traded by Minny.

This team has too many small softy players. Yamamoto would be a nice addition.

No

Yeah, his Mom commented on the tweet saying she'll miss everyone in GR. That pretty much seals the deal in my book. He's gone. Momma don't lie.

Dreger reporting Buffalo is trying move Evander Kane once again, and that they may move Robin Lehner as well. Perhaps a goalie swap with Buffalo could work for us? Send Howard home to upstate NY and we receive a younger cheaper (not as skilled) Swedish goalie in return?

Montreal will not qualify Nikita Nesterov. He will become a UFA July 1st. This could be a decent pick up for us. Simon Despres will be bought out by Anaheim.

REPORT: Nashville has been trying to work out a deal that would allow them to keep Neal/Jarnkrok from going to Vegas. Have been unable to get a deal done.

LA, Montreal, and Edmonton are on Dions list of ten teams

Looks like Mitch may be a moving on from the organization. I don't think the Wings want to re-sign him, he's had some off-ice issues the past couple seasons.
