    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...

    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

    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

    Calgary has said their not doing a full teardown and trying to get back in the playoffs ASAP. I dont expect them to give up any talent they dont have to. With Vladar and Wolf they didnt need Markstrom anymore. I watched Wolf play a lot back in his CHL days. They shouldn't need Vladar much longer either, he's very good

    Does Baugh rhyme with laugh ? From what ive gathered Trouba loves to swing for wild hits, then miss the hit, while also leaving his man wide open. Probably wouldn't fit here. Especially not with Yzermans goals this season.

    And ya know, everyone who realizes its illegal, inappropriate, and indecent to expose your gentalia in front of others, including children. But idk maybe that flys at HC games...

    Soccer teams literally dont use "HC". So your point makes no sense.

    I just dunno why he thinks HC makes them a soccer team. The H literally stands for hockey. I'll just let him have this one. Utah is a soccer team now folks.
