I'll bet you you're wrong, There's absolutely noway Boston can afford Larkin. They've around $21,000,000 to spend and Pastrnak will cost them between $11,000,000 to $12,000,000 per plus they've $4,500,000 performance bonuses that need to be paid out to both Bergeron and Krejci and they need to sign 7 players. No way are they going to afford Larkin. If i'm Larkin i don't take anything less than $10,000,000 per to play there.
FYI Boston has the oldest core in the league average 30 on their forward core 28 on defense. They need to get younger not older. Once Bergeron, Krejci and Marchand are gone that team will be tanking. Larkin would be a fool to leave a young up and coming Red Wings team for an aging Bruins team who's window is closing fast.

Yeah if we get a 2nd for him.
Yzerman has been eyeing him since his junior days, Pretty sure Yzerman will resign him. he's been really good with Mo Seider.

Stop spreading misinformation, I just watched the Woodward Sports episode in question, Under anytime did they ever say that Yzerman wouldn't budge. it wasn't even brought up at all.

How would Woodward Sports know what Yzerman will or will not do, Outside of D Mac Woodward sports is run by a bunch of hacks who no nothing about hockey. The latest offer from Yzerman to Larkin according to Darren Dreger is 8 x $8,500,000 which is way more than enough for Larkin and it's right in his comparable ranges. Woodward sports is a joke most of them outside of Dmac are a bunch of idiots and they don't no a single thing of what Yzerman will or will not do.

1 hour ago, Jonas Mahonas said:Im looking at this like this: SY offered 7.5 x 8. Larkin's agent wants 9 x 8. They will eventually settle on 8.25 x 8. But SY will get the benefit of making sure Larkin doesnt have an injury through the end of the year that will impact his next season/career. I think this is just good business by Stevie.
Yzermans original offer to Larkin was 8x8 it's now up to 8x8.5 per Darren Dreger So we shall see.

7 hours ago, kipwinger said:The dudes from the Winged Wheel Pod are reporting that Larkin's initial ask was 9.5-9.7 and Yzerman's initial offer was 8.4 million. There's no reason to think this thing doesn't get done at 9-9.1 million. Makes you wonder if this isn't all a big ploy to influence future negotiations. Like, if SY is willing to hardball his captain over 500K then if you're a young guy or a depth guy you're going to think twice about pushing too hard.
Anyway, take it for what it's worth. That podcast is rightfully criticized around here (and it should be) but they do seem pretty plugged into the organization. Not hard to imagine that they have a source.
That came from Darren Dreger who was on the Friedman Marek podcast, And Dreger was the one that mentioned that Yzerman opened up with a 8 x $8,000,000 offer to Dylan Larkin and Larkins camp came back at 8 x $9,500,000.
And they also mentioned that Yzerman is currently talking to Bertuzzi's agent on a new deal.

You can blame Kuznetsov for making Vrana a full blown crackhead from his days with the Capitals. I'm even surprised that Kuznetsov is still playing hockey.

LOL You do understand that most Goalies don't even mature until thy're 23 years old. And Cossa is 20 now

Zadina for Merkley straight up?
I'd do that in a heartbeat, We need an upgrade on our RD.

On 12/17/2022 at 6:30 AM, bIueadams said:Walstedt is in the AHL though
Wallstedt also played against men over in the SHL for a couple of seasons. So he had a head start against Cossa. And it's not like he's putting up spectacular number either.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/four-potential-trade-destinations-and-proposals-for-bo-horvat/
LOL Even with an extension, Bo Horvat doesn't return a blue chip prospect like Sebastian Cossa.
-
Cossa is only 19 most goalies don't find their game until they're closer to 23 years old. He'll be fine. Saying that he sucks when this is his first season playing against men. Is a little premature.

1 goal on 34 shots during the tournament, definitely looked more solid than a year ago.

> guessing on Larkin, Bertuzzi, Lindstrom, and Ned.
Total spending: $61.648056
Barely above the salary floor. SY has AGAIN put us in a position to spend roughly $20 million dollars on upgrades. I suspect he will want to actually spend about $10 to $15 million. We won't need as much depth pieces with guys like Johansson, Cossa, Soderblom, and friends on the call up list. But we will need at least one solid LHD, and then with enough money left over we can probably nab a big impact piece at the forward position. With cap room to spare.
Bertuzzi isn't making no $8,000,000 per, Larkin will get about $9,000,000 per and Bertuzzi between $6,500,000 to $7,000,000 per.
On 9/7/2022 at 10:01 AM, Jonas Mahonas said:If I were Yzerman, I'd be looking to trade Bertuzzi, Fabri, Chiarot, and Husso come February.
Yeah lets just trade players we recently signed, Not trading Husso. Cossa is still 3-4 years away from NHL ready. And Chiarot is better than what we had last year at LD. Fabbri after 3 torn ACLs has 0 value. Might as well just keep him on IR next 3 seasons. Outside of real money he's cost us nothing cap wise.

My bad, I guess Zeterberg became Captain after Lidstrom retired.

Wrong dude, Lidstrom was never the Captain when the Wings won their 4 Stanley Cups. 3 cups were under Yzerman as Captain and the 4th cup was with Zetterberg as Captain. Look it up.

Solid signing by Steve Yzerman, Hopefully Kubalik can contribute another 30 gaol season with Detroit.

Larkins comparables are Hertl and Hintz Doubt Yzerman goes much above them.
