Yzerman said it back in 2019. Drafting and Time.
 
BTW, I am glad he didn't gut the young players to acquire Hughes.

its a bummer really. I miss this place. 

It's soon Cossa time... ideally I'd resign Talbot for and extra year and flip Gibson somewhere for future considerations if Cossa translates from the AHL to the NHL.

I like our compete level this year.
Don't like how Gibson is playing. I feel like we could have brought up a goalie and got the same performance out of them, but for way cheaper. 

You're not missing much... the Refs are up 2 - 1

He's done... we should be looking for underutilized guys ready to pop

What a come back! Much needed win, and what does overcoming 4-0 do for their confidence? Huge!

Last 2 games .....ugh Thankfully Michigan was playing Western and that hockey soooo much better than what was on the ice on the Island. 
I am for booting Ras/Burgers to the curb bring up Mazur and Danielson and see what happens. 

As a fan... peace of mind knowing there's 0 chance of seeing them in a Wings jersey again.

MBN: 0 pts in 6 games
ASP: 1 pt in 6 games
Fingod: 5 pts in 6 games

 

MBN: 3gp 0pts
ASP: 3gp 0pts
...
Fingod: 3gp 2pts

 

Soda needs to play up to his size or find a new team.

Bold Prediction #2: Toronto will make the playoffs as a Wild Card after struggling without Marner.

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

1. Florida - might as well call the season now. Another cup for the cats. 
2. Tampa
3. Toronto
4. Montreal
5. Detroit
6. Ottawa
7. Boston
8. Buffalo
Hot take = Finnie scores 50+ pts

Wow, Holl and Gustafsson on waivers. 

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

Daniel Sahn is on IR I believe
Finnie came in and just casually took Mazurs spot...
MBN looks ready to take his #1 callup spot too.
Poor kid is good, but is getting leap frogged by blue chips...
This should be a high sign to STOP signing JVRs and Appletons imo...

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

I am super impressed with MBN as he seems to be in the right place at the right time. I am hoping Steve is working the phones to allow some of these young DAWGs get on the roster.  I would even be okay missing the playoffs to give them a year of "seasoning" in the big league. 

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.

FinnDog FTW!

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