When did the site come back up?

Watch the video before you post smart ass comments. I will take what actual hockey experts same about him over a hockey forum wannabe.

Good hands. Prefers the off wing. People are comparing him to Holmstrom with better hands, but Groot is a perimeter player, not a net front guy. Needs to develop more of a mean streak. I suspect he will play 3rd line RW.

Likely not.

It would probably require a multiple team deal with a team between us and them. MTL and NJ wont move down to #8. They could trade down to 3-5 range, but it would require a team in that range to be willing to trade down to 8.

#8 Never ever gonna happen. Not with those offers. He would get hung up on.

Speak for yourself heathen. Wings weren't going to get in the top 2 or 3 even without those "useless, unneeded points".

Montreal is not trading that pick.

8th.

Exactly. Which is why you could pair Lids and Rafalski. You don't play Seider and Edvinsson together unless you have that kind of 2nd pair behind it. We don't.

What greats? Dandenault? Bykov? Markov? Olausson? Lidstrom played most of his career with good, but not elite defenseman. That's my point. There is no need to play 2 D of that caliber together. Exactly.

Mitchell is a poor mans Glendening. He isnt anything special but gives the team a decent 4th line and RH center option. Walman will probably be back. He is fine as a 3rd pair option IMO. Staal wasnt as bad as people seem to think he was this past season. If SY cant find any better vet options, I could see him back as LD for Seider. I think Juolevi gets re-signed and waived to GR to serve as an emergency call-up.

Unless we are going into the season with Oesterle, Juolevi, and Walman as our LD (I hope not), I suspect that at least one of Juolevi or Walman are let go or re-signed, waived, and sent down to GR. Probably Juolevi. Stephens and Zadina will both be re-signed and given full time spots on the roster.
