I wish someone would leak the VGK roster! Where's Comey when you need him!

https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2017/06/expected-trades-knights.html All this is stupid, so they'll get both Stoner and Theodore from Anaheim...it sure seems like this team will be the most competitive expansion team ever...TvR and Krueger from Chicago? No wonder Holland didn't have any deals, Vegas probably wanted AA to guarantee select Ericsson...its just too much that this team is getting. Plus all the draft picks? He'll they'll probably end up with 3 in the top 10...bulls***.

That would be nuts...

It's be nice if these guys would answer fans legit questions. Most of the replies to him are asking about Detroit. But I guess he's just too important to answer anyone. It's not like they're asking dumb questions....

I only hope that we lose a player that gives us some cap relief. XO is not o n the books, so if he's selected we not only lose a good young D, but we don't even benefit via cap relief. At least if Mrazek is taken, we get $4M off.

Very, very strange...

Just a PSA/FYI here, I will on the road driving during the 1st round of the draft, so don't be to disappointed when I am not ranting right away! Actually, I won't be too mad really, we all have our favorites, but they'll draft who they need. I'm okay with it, I'd love to see Tippett, but I'd be OK if they passed on him to get something that'll bring us a Cup before Pitt or Chicago gets another one! Doesn't mean I won't fire off a couple of explanative words if he does pass on him though! I have to! It's my duty!

I wonder if Holland has his eyes on any UFA goalies or if he just has a lot of confidence in his young goalies down the pipeline...

https://theathletic.com/68620/2017/06/19/source-red-wings-on-short-list-for-top-college-free-agent-spencer-foo/ Ya, there's the article... Ok, stay with me here, Wings sign Foo, draft Suzuki and Yamamoto, we now become the team with the most Asian players in the NHL! From Russians, to Swedes, now Asian! Get er Done Kenny! ok, ok, I'm done.

Ya a little, but not as much as you guys were expecting (hoping for.) I vented in that one post and I am good. I do understand that Holland had a tough choice, but I just believe he could've kept Mrazek protected and traded him, he has to have more value than Howard in trade, right? Oh well, this will all be for nothing if VGK takes Sheahan or XO! I just wonder how Mrzek's "attitude" will be if he doesn't get picked when he comes to the rink....

I know, the list I put up from TSN has him #7 I believe! I would love to have him, but if he's gone, there is a handful of kids that would be fine too, and yes that includes Pettersson. I am just holding out hope for my favorite to become a Red Wing... I can only hope, but, it's not like Holland hasn't disappointed any of us before!

You said BREATH KILLER, and I thought you were referring to my runon paragraph! But you meant BREATHE KILLER, I guess either way I get what you are saying!

I'd love for that to happen, because then we could maybe snag him in the 2nd! I like that draft ranking! I also like that Tippett is 22 on that list, now I absolutely trade the #9 to St, Louis for the #20 and #27...I'd even throw in a player to entice them even more! to DET : #20 and #27 2017 Draft Picks to STL : #9 2017 pick ; Darren Helm 20th pick - Owen Tippet 27th pick - Nicolas Hague Hey, that would be MY perfect scenario, I know a lot of you don't agree and that is fine!

Ya, because he wants way too much money... $9M per year is Elite money, we're talking McDavid, Laine, etc... not Radulov, I wouldn't give him more than $6M and that is a maybe....again, no thanks to him ever being on the Wings.

I like how they say "puzzling decision" when in actuality its a STUPID, IDIOTIC, DUMBASS decision. It's also a vengeful decision. It's said because Holland couldn't/wouldn't trade Howard, that is why Mrazek has the attitude, so this is Holland's revenge. Much like why Fedorov's number won't, but should, be retired until Holland is no longer here. It's Holland's ego that is the problem. There is no reason why, if Mrazek is such a bad person, that Holland couldn't trade him for a pick, hell even a 7th, just to get something for him, but no, he has to rub salt in the face of Mrazek and leave him unprotected like he is worth dog s*** to Holland. I hope Vegas takes him and he becomes everything most of us hoped he would become here. Fleury has what, 2 years left at $5.75M, Mrazek has 1 year at $4M then he is still an RFA. I can see them taking both because they do need to get above $45M is salary IIRC, and They could easily do a 1a 1b tandem until Fleury's contract is up. This is just a bad move by Holland (again) much like opting on Hudler/Franzen over Hossa and much like re-signing Helm and many of the other stupid things he has done due to "loyalty" to players even though they are the lessor option. Attitude or not, he should've protected Mrazek and then if he had to, trade him. Until we know Wednesday, I guess this is all up in the air, but it was really not a puzzling decision, it was the Juck ******* Pott once again. All praise Holland! Damn I cannot wait until I am utterly disappointed Friday....

https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1320723-the-7-best-goalies-made-available-to-the-golden-knights Top 7 not 9

He was #2 behind Fluery in the top 9 available though...

Holland's back door deal is, Vegas takes Fluery and then Sheahan from us, we keep Mrazek then trade Howard for Fluery......

http://www.tsn.ca/hischier-rides-meteoric-rise-to-top-of-tsn-draft-ranking-1.783025 Ffinal TSN draft rankings...Liljegren to 16...maybe Holland trades the 9 for 2 1sts and drafts him and Hague...

Gus Nyquist?

He should go to Edmonton or Nashville.

I think Auntie Peg needs to kick junior off the Tandy.

No thank you...no need to honor me. Even if Mrazek stays, now that Holland pretty much said he has a bad attitude and that's what got him exposed, do you really think Petr is going to play with his heart here now? Well at least if he stays we can include him in all trade scenarios...

...as they select Helm and Petr takes the job Again!
