Of course he waited till after the draft presser to pull this scam

Couple thoughts. Yzerman doesnt screw around in net. Friedman reported he's been talking to Verbeek about Gibson. And now there's a report saying he was in on Ullmark, but Ottawa got the deal done first. Now reported that Philly is hot to get Gibson, but Yzerman is lurking. Moving Walman means Yzerman is probably having a tough time getting someone to take Holl. Buyout might be prudent there. Walman most likely has a personal or injury issue that SY doesnt want to deal with.

Walman was most likely too good of friends with Vrana as well. Only junkies think Texas Roadhouse is good.

Yzerman traded a 2nd to get Leddy He traded Leddy to get a 2nd + Walman He used that 2nd to draft Andrew Gibson Then he traded Gibson for a 2nd And finally he used that 2nd to trade away Walman No matter how you look at it, we paid SJ a 2nd to enjoy Jake Walman Here's my theory: this is a 3way deal with the Rags SJS picked up Goodrow on waivers as a favor to the rags. Walman and the 2nd are the payment for that. Now the Rags will eat salary on Trouba and send him to Detroit for nothing in return.

Mehhh idk I certainly disagree, and I was happy to hear SY say at the predraft press conference that he was a little disappointed with Edvinsson and thought he could do more. Continued by saying Ed still needs to earn it.

WALGOD NOOOOOOOO There must be something really big going down that will involve San Jose for SY to gift them this. Perhaps acquiring a big player with some of these assets and then flipping to us and retaining to us for considerations?

How can they give the cup to the panthers when McDavid was the best player and conn smythe winner? I feel like their is an asterisk next to this cup, just like with tampa and covid. I swear to god Florida teams have never won anything legitimately, and they shouldnt even exist there. The ice is so slushy McDavid couldn't even get up to full speed or turn properly. That arena is a joke and a stain on this league.

Leon Draisatl should be beaten with garden hoses. All the Oilers should have their heads caved in with ballpeen hammers.

That would be cool

Does Ken Holland suck?

They gave McD the conne smythe holy sheet

McRobbed. Bettman hates Canada and it's obvious.

Ullmark to Ottawa Pens are selling Jarry Preds and Canes are working on a big deal involving Necas and Saros Caps have many irons in the fire and are expected to make multiple moves

Kaner going back to the Rags

Ohhhhh Canada My hromo naked men True benis love, in all thy sons rear ends

Sounds like Pesce is going to NJD. Calen Addison could be an interesting replacement for Ghost. 2nd rd pick, 24 years old, RHD. Scored a bunch points for Minnesota his first year, but then the Sharks traded for him to be there PP QB. His season with Sharks went terribly, and Grier just said they won't be re-signing him. From what ive seen he's just like Ghost. Pure offense, terrible defender. However, unlike Ghost, he wouldn't cost us 5 million dollars. We could probably throw league min at him. Not sure what went wrong with SJS, but its got to be hard scoring points when you have to feed a team of Zadinas...

So seems like his attitude is... if youre just gonna stick me in the AHL, then I'll just stay in college. I do think he's NHL ready, and the Jets are being kinda dumb on this. But if they think they can get equal value back in exchange for a player that's unwilling to conform, why not? At the sametime he risks being left in college to rot for 2 more seasons. He's too good for the NCAA at this point. He's filled out his frame and his skating is MUCH better than it was on draft day. However, his family thinks very highly of Brandon Naruto, and his mom literally called him the best skills coach in the game. So maybe he's content to stay and develop in college. From what ive gathered, he's been training in Toronto with Adam Fantilli (CBJ) during summers. But I also see him on Instagram spending time with Draper a lot, and his other teammates too. Was this the masterplan for Kienan Draper all along? Draft him with a 7th, a pick that would probably be a waste anyway, giving the kid a little cache as a drafted player. Then arrange for him to join the juggernaut NCAA program that's pumping out NHL talent. And then get him to relay information back to the Wings on those players, as well as sell the UofM players on the wings franchise?... Devious. Im about 100% confident that Kienan will be joining his dads staff the moment he has his degree and his career as a player is essentially over. Anyway, I won't be surprised if pick 15 comes up and Bettman says "we have a trade" BY GAWD THATS RUTGER MCGROARTYS MUSIC. Jets used pick 14 to get him. Chevy probably just wants to recoup his investment. And its a weak draft so just get this kid... and then send Kienan back out to start flipping the rest of mcgroartys teammates to us...

Moving up for Zeev Buium. Its what he does.

Further to what i said above, Rutger has already been teammates with a number of Red Wings prospects. Trey Augustine, Brady Cleveland, Brennan Ali, Red Savage, Kienan Draper... And his current coach at UofM is former Wings AC Brandon Naruto. Naruto has never worked for another NHL team besides us. And he was coached by former Wings AC Adam Nightingale in USA development as well. Furthermore, his current UofM teammate Jake Truscott is also thumbing his nose at the canucks and will pick his destination this August. Also a Michigan homegrown, and also someone I expect the Wings will pursue. This kid has Red Wings DNA in him at every level. With the state of the team, I would be very surprised if we are not his top choice considering his background. I was reading we will have to forfeit a 2nd to the jets if we sign him straight out of college in 2 years. Screw that. Give them this years mid 2nd straight up and plant him on the team NOW. He already has a grown mans physique, and he's been a captain everywhere he's played. This kid can play for us next year. Worst case scenario he can hang with his buddy Truscott in the AHL for one year, but i dont think thats likely. Going to be very surprised if the wings are not all over this.

This is actually huge news for us. McGroarty is NHL ready IMO. Jets likely offered him his ELC when the college season ended and he said no and ghosted them. Pretty apparent he intends to finish college and pick his destination. McGroarty has spent his entire life in Michigan. And his father coaches honeybaked and manages the Muskegon lumberjacks. Couple this with our team being on the upswing, and also having roster space available... boys we may be landing Rutger McGroarty for cheap. Mcgroarty also doesnt have an agent. Likely his father is acting on his behalf. A guy that the wings more than likely have a relationship with. Teams are going to be hesitant to trade for him not knowing what his intentions are. And if they do trade for his rights they likely wont fork over much. Hoping Yzerman already knows the situation with this kid and his family. If he just wants to be a red wing, then trade the jets a late round pick or a B prospect for his rights, get him on his ELC this summer, and get him on the team next year. If he actually wants to earn a degree... no worries, we wait, and get him for free in 2 years where he'll be the black ace in a cup run. Exciting stuff. I wonder if SY has had this rabbit in his hat for awhile now... Inb4 wHy dO wE siGn PLaYerS jUSt CaUSe tHEyRe fRoM miCHigAn

Rome has become decadent and corrupt. Personally, I welcome the northern hordes.

Imagine turtling lmao matt tkachuk should be in jail for being bad at hockey

Last 3 games: Cats: 5 goals Oily: 18 goals Welcome to superstar powered high octane offense. Maurice and Bobrovsky have been E X P O S E D. Cats are cooked. Anyone wanna apologize to me now? Or do you wanna wait till after the game 7 McSmackdown?

Could see it happening, but SY literally just threw cold water on the idea at the predraft presser. Saying he doesnt want to spend the assets that it would take and that he's instead looking to add a goalie to the Griffins. One that can jump up to the wings if the injury bug hits. Yzer prolly has indeed been talking to Verbeek, but doesnt like the price
