    21-22 Season opener vs TBL (7:30pm)

    Yea I had to watch the bolts feed too... which sucked since it was OUR home opener... that's a dick move by the NHL centerice folks.

    He's busting, what more can you expect... The reffing in this game was completely one sided after the Larkin incident. Tampa was gifted this by the zebras.

    Cholowski Waived by Seattle

    I think this is then end of the NHL line for Cholo... left exposed by one of the leagues worst teams, claimed and subsequently waived by an expansion team. Looks like an AHL/KHL/European league career ahead. He's 2 years ahead of Zadina on the road to 1st round bust.

    Yup... playing the hand he's been dealt. Best case scenario we are over-flowing at D and can swing a trade for a 1C.

    As much as I'd love us to move into 1OA, I just don't see it. We couldn't get any "luck" when we were historically bad... as a result the odds were tweaked to favor the bottom teams... we've now likely moved out of the bottom 5 into the bottom 6-10 range where teams moved up from to move us down and low and behold the odds for us moving up from this position are substantially reduced. I think we're going to need to go with the multiple 2nd line center model or get lucky with a non top 5 draftee who fast tracks to the NHL to match our window. ...and yes I'd consider Larkin a 2C in the multiple 2C option.

    Why hasn't NJ tried to sign Quinn? They would have all of the Hughes brothers.

    6/22 GDT - 2018 Entry Draft

    Nah everyone knows I'm right... and are slowly but surely admitting it to themselves... because everyone hopes to get a 3rd liner at 6OA.

    Its an overpayment but its 2 years so from a cap perspective it shouldn't hurt. As long as other unsigned players on our team use it as a comp...

    Targets for the Wings

    I'm 100% for this... but I don't see SY bucking the unwritten rule here... I simply don't think he'd think it was honorable.

    I think we're going to be so much better next season we should make a massive offersheet for Petterson we might be a borderline playoff team of this comes together.

    Lateral move... I like us acquiring Ned, but he's a big gamble... he could return to earth after one breakout season.
