Not sure if I missed it but Erne and Hirose have both been re-signed to 1 year extensions each. No word on the AAV yet from what I can see. Really disappointed that Yzerman is letting his ego run with this Erne thing. Ehn was a much more reliable player last year. If you're not gonna re-sign Ehn then you shouldn't be re-signing Erne or Ehn. Whatever depth grinding role Erne can provide Smith could easily bring from what I saw of his game last year. Is Erne officially our first good ol boy that Yzerman can't let go? Like with Holland and Cleary?

It's true thou

Which is exactlly why we shouldn't be selling players like AA and Green for 3rd and 4th round selections. If anything you should be packaging them along with your own 3-7 round picks in order to jump up into the 2nd round.

Sure but when 68% of the league is comprised of 1st + 2nd + undrafted players, it seems to stand that those picks are probably worth more in trades than in actually betting on a Klingberg every single year.

Based on this info. Why do we even bother drafting after rounds 1 and 2? Yzerman should be spending his 3-7 picks for assets or using them to trade up

Why do you say these words to me

AH so Seider isn't playing this season

There's really just not any good centers available in FA. Maybe Granlund or Haula? Not so sure they will be much better than Turris. And for the chemistry with Mantha I'd be willing to just bet on him. Sounds like we could get a shot at Khudobin

It's an old Gotaland message. It means Stephen Yzerman sleeps with the pickled herring.

Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha Helm - Fabbri - Zadina Timashov - Filppula - Glendening Erne - Nielsen - Gagner Dekeyser - Hronek Nemeth - Lindstrom Staal - Biega Bernier Pickard This team could use a 2C, 1 or even 2 more Dmen, and another goalie I'd go hard for Turris, Barrie, Gudas, and Dell

When does FA open up?

Surprised to see Ehn not qualified, but I guess we need the space. Still a good number of forwards on this roster.

Yo yo yo that's a suspicious number of Swedes drafted with our top 3 picks
