Nice dump. No retention and really no draft pick sweetener. Am I missing something? Hawks trying to hit the floor and that's it?

Best offer, with a signed deal, is 42, 43 and Z. Take it or leave it sucka.

I loved Roger Crozier as a kid. Best goalie ever! Glenn Hall 2nd. You kids....lol.... you had to see a goalie playing without a mask. I don't think they were thrilled to do it, but nobody had or wore a mask.

NC all the way for me. Tonne of my Florida neighbours whe I lived there all had summer joints in Raleigh or Charlotte to keep cool during the heat season. I liked the rolling green there as it reminded of a number of areas in Maryland.

I think that would be a no brainer assuming SY wants either Carlsson, Smith or the Russki.

9: C/RW RYAN LEONARD 17: D TOM WILLANDER 41: G MICHAEL HRABAL 42: C GAVIN BRINDLEY 43: LW NOAH DOWER NILSSON 73: G TREY AUGUSTINE https://fanspeak.com/nhlotc/draft.php?d=ohrvia I win!

Kailer Yamamoto wants to know what makes AD so cool.

I would hope SY doesn't move up for Michkov. Kid looks great, but in the cozy confines of our NA rinks, I'm having a hard time not picturing this kid getting injured all the time. I'm getting antsy. Draft is only two weeks away.

Pretty crazy draft from the staff at Athletic. https://archive.is/NgqSo And todays prospect rankings and more https://archive.is/YKjSg

The latest mock from Kimelman and Morreale https://www.nhl.com/news/mock-2023-nhl-draft-connor-bedard-adam-fantilli-top-picks/c-344826764 We get either Zach Benson or Oliver Moore at #9 and at #17 either Barlow or Simashev.

Just a thought on your post about using our extra picks in trades. Scott Morrow looked great on film prior to the 2021 draft. I thought he would have gone in the 22-28 range, yet fell to #40. Food for thought regarding trading our extra picks...lol It would take a tonne IMO to get Carolina to trade him to us. If I'm the Canes I'm asking for #17 and Wallander/Johannsen, and be willing to throw a 3rd or 4th back to the Wings if pressed.

I can't see Dubois signing here long term. No deal. Way too much for Debrincat IMO. No deal. I know you kids want to fast track our playoff/competitive quotient, but, this is the last year/or two probably of having a decent chance to load our system, so I don't want to trade away any of our futures for the now. Our lottery luck has been crappy, (Gary hates us) and even with Kasper, Eddoggie etc, we're still pretty thin with hopefuls. Take on salary, get extra picks and if our team deserves to make it into the playoffs then great, I just don't want to force it.

Kid is in his last year making 6.4M. Any clues to what a long term deal would be?

We shouldn't be beggars. Ottawa is under the gun to move him, either now or at the TDL. For what they paid for him last year, they're going to want a 1st and a 3rd I would guess. Pass. If the kid really wants to come home, he can wait a year if the contract terms are right for both parties.

What would his contract look like and is he really someone we want to tie up long term? Guessing 8m per / 7Years. I really don't know enough about the kid to comment. He is pretty small and has never seen the difference between regular season and playoff hockey.

3rd rounder to NJ

He seemed to improve as a player under Sutter, so Babs may not be a stretch. Of course Sutter might have been a factor why he left Calgary. Dunno, Gaudreau says his Dad was always tough coaching him growing up and that's why he respects demanding coaches.

I want that table to be pounded with every pick.

Flyers making trades. Provorov for sure and Hart probably as of right now. To #CBJ: Ivan Provorov To #Flyers: 2023 No. 22 overall pick, #LAKings 2024 2nd Rd Pick, #CBJ 2nd Rd Pick in 2024 or 2025, Cal Petersen, Sean Walker, prospect Helge Grans To #LAKings: 30% retained on Provorov, Kevin Connauton, Hayden Hodgson Or another look...

Yep. Probably the hardest one over the last ten years or so. The number of redrafts 3,5 and then 7 years from now will be epic.

Most of us only know what we read, hear or obsesrve to be trending, as well as the eye test from vids. We don't know s***e. I agree with drafting speed and size, and will have to trust our scouts to identify kids with that as well as heart and toughness. The regular season is a joke but entertaining. The playoffs is entertaining and a dose of reality as to 'what' wins. The only thing I learn every playoff year is: players with the most desire usually win it all.

What about Detroit trades: Picks 42, 43, Zadina Vancouver trades: Pick 11, Tyler Myers

If SY and Lolololande think enough of Kasper to start him as our 2C for one game, then I would have to believe they love the kid. Faceoffs, whatever. Maybe not to start the year, especially with his kneecap situation, but certainly by the mid way point Kasper should be our 2C. He has to get the ice time and video time watching Hank. Now just draft a Pavel?

Not me. Mo will put Hughes through the boards next season round 1 playoffs. I'll let the rest of you debate how many months Hughes will be off skates and Mo's punishment or lack there of.

Tie Domi is a turd. I've never met anyone as arrogant as him.
