Dunno! There is some chat over at puckpedia, but usually only when a roster is made in GM Mode, I don't belong to their forums. We NEED to get everyone back here!

Man, this place is really full of crickets now.....sad.... anyhow, I might be in the minority, but I really hope this Tyler Myers trade doesn't happen.

I may be in the minority, but there's never been a better "buy low" time than now for EP40. When I say buy low, it could still mean a 1st, grade A prospect, NHL player, and possibly a lower pick. Also, for the D, Ya, I am being overly optimistic, but I believe Detroit can use a LHD and RHD. Hamilton and OEL fit that bill for now and a couple years down the road. This will make Chiarot LD3 and shelter ASP on the RD3 spot. AlJo and JBD would be odd men out in the press box, but they can rotate in now and then. Also, both OEL and Dougie could also be flipped on one of the following TDL's if need be.

I believe he’s certainly deserved it. This season, he has truly established himself as a solid bottom four player. $3.8 million compensation isn’t a bad deal for that role. The positive aspect is that, at this moment, I do not observe any No-Movement Clause/No-Trade Clause attached to his contract...but I assume details might not all have been released yet. Who will be the next player signed/acquired?

IF, and I say IF Detroit stays in the playoffs by the TDL, it might not be a bad thing trading away the 2026 1st. Considering that they'd be drafting between 16 and 31 (see below for reason there's only 31 picks in the 1st this year) and it doesn't look like they'd be missing out on too much if they used the pick for a serious upgrade to the NHL roster. But, if the pick is kept, a few names to consider. Especially if Danielson, or MBN are dealt, or a LHD prospect. Nikita Klepov - RW (he has commited to MSU) Yegor (Egor) Shilov - C (commited to BU) I am not too keen on high scorers from the QMJHL, but could be a nice pick Malte Gustafsson - LHD - 6'4, 201 (for now) could be a nice replacement if Buium or Willander is dealt. a nice 2nd round pick would be Brooks Ragowski - C, he's a local kid (Brighton), 6'7 232lbs already! He is also commited to MSU.

Chad Smith chumming it up there too!

Not sure who is watching, but this was so long coming! I never ONCE felt ANY ill will towards Sergei. He, along with Probert will always be my favorite Detroit Red Wings! Congrats Sergei!

Nate would probably like to go back to Western-ish Canada, but for the price of two 1sts, I sure hope Andersson comes with an extension

Guys, I think we're good again....

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

This really is a ghost town...

Berggren for Zam 1 for 1

He signed in Montreal....guess he wants to keep losing. Maybe Yzerman didn't want him, but I still think he is a better opotion that Berg or Ras...or even Soda.

I'd take a shot at him. League minimum for a 1 year contract. He is a former 30 point guy on a good Columbus team. He is better than Berggren or Rasmussen IMO.

I do agree, the Gibson experiment isn't working. He showed some good play during that intital 5 game win streak, but lately, ugh... maybe send him to a contender while eating 50% salary? I'd accept a lower prospect or a midling draft pick. Edmonton is still lookinf for a G. Also, Winnipeg just lost Hellebuyck for a couple of months after knee surgery.
