    Wow, Holl and Gustafsson on waivers. 

    So who's playing third pair LD then?  Did the team see enough out of ASP that they're comfortable putting him with Edvinsson so Johansson can play with jbd or hamonic?

    I was just reading that Detroit is one of the teams that has called Pitt about Karlsson. 
    I hope they plan on retaining a lot of that 11.5. 
    What would you be willing to give up, and what would you be comfortable with as far as salary?

    Don't know how I feel about helping Pittsburgh tank for McKenna

    I haven't been dialed in on the draft like I have been in years past, but I do think we need to either target size/offense in a forward or a better LHD prospect than Wallinder or Buium. I like Aitcheson and Carbonneau. Both seem big, tough, and can score. We have excellent center depth with Larkin, Marco, Danielson, Plante (this dude is really really good), and Finnie. Our defense can probably be rounded out in free agency. But our wingers kinda suck and we've got not depth there. So I'd probably prioritize Carbonneau on the wing rather than Aitcheson on defense, but those thoughts should be taken with a BIG grain of salt because again, I haven't really been as involved this year.

    I'm not drafting anyone out of the qmjhl.  Even Alexis LaFreniere, who everyone believed was a slam dunk first overall pick, has not lived up to his draft type

    That would suck to lose him to Chicago... they have the 3rd OA pick too? How the hell are we falling behind these teams in prospects? Well, we may not be in real life, but it just seems like it. We need to ditch some contracts ASAP and get younger!

    I hope Yzerman is on the phone with Brisbois (and Howards agent) right now!!!

    We're falling behind because we have one top five pick during our rebuild

    How do we feel about Kane at this point?

    I think I'm over it.

    Leadership is a problem for this team, and it needs a shake up. Unless we are going to trade Larkin, Kane is the guy I would subtract. 

    He's aging and his contract is expiring. He doesnt bring any physicality or defensive acumen to the team (like at all) but will score a big goal here and there.

    Further, I didnt like him quiting on Lalonde. Say what you want about Derek, but that's not a behavior I would tolerate or want near our young players. 

    This team needs lots more grit and leadership. Kane doesnt bring that. Id swap him out for someone like Marchand. 

    Yeah Kane's too much of a power play merchant to be a reliable top 6 Forward
