I keep reading Dobson to Utah if Hagens (home town kid) is available at #4. Who wants to pay him 11M?

Seems like a fair deal for a 4th with no retention. WinWin

You make some valid points regarding Zegras. Good on ya!

Hague screams 3rd pairing guy and I wouldn't want to spit up our 1st for that. Dobson's camp is looking at an 11M deal. Hard pass, that's why they're considering moving him. Two 1sts, Danielson + for Peterka is reasonable? I'd be curious to know just how much the Rags would want for Miller

The kid's upside is the thing. You could be right in that Zegras has maxed out his growth or maybe he just lost his passion and desire for the game in Duckland. Dunno.

Rangers coughing up the #12 to Pens to finalize Miller trade. Pens picking #11 and #12. No Ekland for us?

Everyone is getting their final mocks done. Wheeler. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6441466/2025/06/24/nhl-mock-draft-2025-wheeler/

I'm not getting on your case, seriously. When you say affordable that's just your opinion and not stating what value that truly means. Zegras is not close to Robo or Peterka or Byram etc, although for that price I would have matched that for sure. What do you really think either of these 3 players would cost? If we were selling them what would you deem fair value coming back to Detroit? I just want to see what your definition of affordable is. Go Wings!

Who is out there that's available and affordable? Seems like every team picking after #7 is more than willing to unload their pick for a top 6 forward or a top 4 d-man. Like who wouldn't? Pretty sure Buffalo and MTL would love to cash some picks and prospects in for exactly what we want.

Salary dump, the Crackers get 3.25M relief I believe.

Wheeler (post above) has Chychrun as his comparable. The kid as the size and skill, but is lacking the noodle. I worry that as the game gets faster, his lack of processing will fall further behind. Smart kids make the game slow down.

Some fun food for thought with 4 trade proposals https://archive.is/YP7l8

I didn't realize the size difference between the two. I also see Rossi is pretty meh in the faceoff dot. With so many teams lining up to trade for Peterka the cost will probably end up being stupid.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. I feel your pain. I would prefer Peterka or Rossi, I'm just not sure the Sabres would want picks though. (not that you suggested that) What would a trade look like for you?

I think Larkin would garner a tonne more than you're stating, plus our disgruntled captain just wants to see more committment to winning. Buffalo would want players instead of high picks back and the same with Minny. Since both teams would be asking for Kasper in return maybe offer sheeting the two forwards is a better idea?

What would be everyone's choice between going after Peterka, Rossi or Bowen?

Misa is a monster. Yes please.

There's always one dink GM that wrecks it for anyone making a realistic offer for Petey. (Compher+Ras+2nd) I would hope SY puts forth the effort to get him without going overboard. At some point the Nucks will take that offer or similar, unless that one dink GM appears. His full NTC comes in effect July 1st as well. VCR would want to move him before then wouldn't they? Kreider and a 4th to the Ducks for forward prospect Carey Terrance and a 3rd. Wow. I doubt they would go for that. Who would you take with 2OA?

I wouldn't pay much for Petey. I think the Canucks would part with him for next to nothing to get from under his contract. Compher + Ras + 2nd

Crap. Canucks signed Tom Willander. I was hoping he would be an option to trade for since he was putting the screws to Vancouver for better bonus language in his entry deal. Isaac Howard.... you are our only hope!

tonights show Drew Lynch at Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle in Royal Oak . Hopefully someone here can use them, the guy is hilarious.

Tickets have been taken. Thx

Gary owes us.

TBay will probably deal Howard at the draft since waiting for him to be a free agent will only get them the 31st pick in the 2nd round of the 2027 draft. (comp) I like the proposed deals from Lefty and BigRigs
