    As a fan... peace of mind knowing there's 0 chance of seeing them in a Wings jersey again.
  3. Soda needs to play up to his size or find a new team.
  4. Wow there fella... demoting our boy Finnie already??? How's he hitting 60 points.
  5. Gibson is not very good. You just knew Montréal were scoring the last 7 seconds... some things never change. :-(

    If we want a star/superstar it will have to come via trade. We do have a surplus of prospects not everyone will have a roster spot and our 1st round picks should soon drop out of lottery contention.

    2025-26 Division Predictions & Hot Takes

    You don't think FLA will coast in the regular season? I think they squeak in and wreck shop in the playoffs.

    After listening to McClellan most recent presser I think MBN makes it and Finne gets sent down. ASP 50/50.

    Let's call it an off night... he's been good in his other games.

    Not expendable... slotted properly as a 2nd line center.

    If that were the case, the league could calibrate a teams cap to local tax rates... For example, maybe Florida has a cap of 85M and Detroit 95M and Edmonton 105M such that 10% of the cap is the same take-home pay after tax.

    And that makes given the rise in the cap. It would be interesting if players were paid in cap % and not dollars.

    Man we're getting worked by an AHL Pens team. Losing almost every puck battle and not making good reads or passes.

    I hope you're right... but I think you're wrong.

    I'm convinced Stevie will resign Chairot. I hope to god he drifts down the pairings but I forsee a 2-3 year extension him.

    I think Florida could be in real trouble with the cup hangover and significant injuries. I'd love for us to find a Gavrikov, Gudas, etc. type before they fully pop-off... someone good defensively with some snarl.

    I think there's a real chance Compher is waived. Im on the fence with Burgers... he needs to be put in a Kane type role. He's not getting that here. If a package of Burgers, a 2nd rounder and a forward prospect... say Mazur can get you a solid #4D I think you make that trade. Yes/No. Any suggestions on why that could be?

    I'm sure they'll not want the optics of him being with his expecting wife to be a *thing*. So he'll probably waltz back into a top-6 roll. What's up with Talbot... has he been in any preseason action? I've not seen or heard a thing about him. Just Gibson, Cossa and Postava.

    At a minimum I think they should keep Finnie for a few regular season games until JVR gets up to speed.

    Yeah but Finnie is in that game... :-(

    Yea we need 2 rookies on this team... Finnie and MBN... send Burgers and Compher to GR or Siberia.
