You know what we could do to even sweetin the deal more? With that lottery protected 2023 1st, we could put in a clause that IF we win the 1st overall in 2022, the lottery protection for 2023 goes away. Once we get Shane Wright, is doesn't matter for 2023, they can have whatever we get then. to DET : Zach Werenski to CBJ : Filip Zadina, Jared McIsaac, 2022 2nd round pick, 2023 1st rnd conditional pick (lottery protected unless Detroit wins #1 OA in 2022)

With MAF's $7M out of Vegas, I am betting (with Keeping Martinez) they will go after Ryan Suter. They are in "win now" territory and adding Suter would solidify their D. They could replace MAF with a few other G's out there. Maybe they go with Andersson or also San Jose just bought out Martin Jones. Vegas is going to make a splash tomorrow and they could become even bigger favorites to win The Cup this season. BTW: Doesn't sound like MAF is too keen on going to Chicago. Maybe he'll get flipped back to Pit?

I think it's tomorrow at noon. The 28th. Yikes! Ovi and Vrana together would destroy their will to watch!

For some reason I thought today was UFA day....dang.

Of course Lindy has already signed.

Considering Florida gave all this to Arizona for a 7th to clear cap, I'm hoping Tampa pays up dearly for us to take Tyler Johnson.

Here's a Suter that would be a nice pick up.

Oh the players that closed out that 2015 1st round after Svechnikov was selected. Thanks Holland.

While I am not so sure Zadina is a bust, I think Yzerman should trade him while he is still projected to be good. He may get better...but...he may get worse. I have nothing against him, though I will always wish we has drafted a D instead.

This should help in signing our higher end RFA's.

Hmmmmm..... Columbus getting calls on Werenski. Starting with Bertuzzi, what else will it take?

Then there is that Bertuzzi trade...

One more LHD? Is it gonna be Yandle or Suter? Just kidding! I will still like to see Yzerman bring in Koekkoek. Of course you have a few bigger names if you want to dole out some more money : Jake McCabe, Mike Reilly, Ryan Murray, Brandon Montour, Erik Gustavsson. Then there is also guys likely on the cheap : Derrick Pouliot, Mikko Lehtonen, Ben Hutton, Andreas Borgman. Leddy - Hronek Staal - Seider Koekoek - Stecher DD/Newpower Up front, the only UFA I'd like to see return are Glenny and Ryan. You have to remember that we are still acquiring Tyler Johnson, Jack Finely and the rights to Taylor Raddysh for a 4th round pick soon.

Jake Virtanen being bought out. Would you sign him?

Alright! Draft done (for us) so let's move on to acquiring cap and assets and UFA day is the 28th! May The YzerForce be with us!

Mid way thru the 2nd and no Raty...what a fall from grace.

Not sure Raty will fall to the 3rd. So we'll see how this goes for a forward.

So....are we think Raty with #38?

Well you have to like this!

Wow! I have to laugh! I'm glad I don't have alerts set up when I'm tagged! Weird that I said maybe a trade and maybe Cossa. I got both! I'm still tired at 1:50. I get on the road at 2:20 to get the GR for work. I'll have to read through all this and check out who's left for our 2nd round. My hopes were Hughes or Edvinsson at 6 and Cossa at 22. Darth Yzerman must have felt a disturbance in the force and had to get Cossa earlier. So glad he's our GM.

Enjoy the rest of the night folks! Gotta get up.at 0130 for work. Maybe we'll have a trade by then. Or maybe Cossa?
