Geez! Pius Suter gets 2 year at $4.125M AAV from St. Louis.

Defense does look REALLY bad compared to Forwards. He has GOT to make a trade soon, right? I believe he still needs both a LHD and a RHD, and not just depth, actual valuable pieces!

Copp, Compher or Rasmussen MUST be on the move soon!! Maybe he can convince his ol' teammate to come here too!

I am intrigued to see if maybe Yzerman can acquire a legit #1 Center, if Larkin would be more suited to play that top line LW. Who that Center is? Dunno. Vancouver seems ok with keeping EP40 and seeing if he bounces back to the 100 point player he was before last season of drama. anyhow, some interesting FWD UFA's that are still out there (if Yzerman traded away Copp or Compher or Rasmussen) that could help the middle 6: Jack Roslovic Mason Appleton Bring back Pius Suter? disney.com of course (he'd be a great penalty killer and shutdown C, better than Rasmussen at that. Besides, we need more three letter initial players on this team!) ASP MBN ADB JVR JTC JBD disney.com! A Couple of intriguing RFA's that might be available via trade: Gabe Vilardi Kappo Kakko Nick Robertson (especially if his bro is still available via trade)

ALSO: Still holding out hope that we are in on Ehlers, top line minutes has to be attractive to him. I still think we NEED a top LHD, or if they are going to use Edvinsson there, a least a 2nd pairing LHD. Also a 2nd pairing RHD would be beneficial. Grzelcyk would be nice for that LHD. 40 points on a crap show of a Pittsburgh team. We CANNOT go into the season with the D we have. Need TWO legit NHL D. JBD is ok, but he's not that 2nd pairing RHD we need...

They also will lose Red Savage if not signed by August 15th. I am surprised at Hanas, thought he had some upside.

Who is this? Did I miss something?

Gosh, I am really hoping for Ehlers. We gotta win something when it comes to acquiring players. $10M+!!!

Anybody have any interest in Jack Roslovic? Where could he fit here?

Maybe Yzerman is signing these future Griffins because he has a trade happening and we are losing a young D and a F? I haven't seen an official Miller trade yet, nor has Byram been dealt. Also: Later Lyon! Thanks for a couple nice years!

Yzerman must plan on the kids being in Detroit because he is stocking up GR.

I think they (Detroit) gotta throw $10M+ at Ehlers. honestly though, Yzerman has done nothing to address the PK. Maybe Gibson will make it better, but up front or D, still the same.

I mean, they ARE better choices, but they obviously don't move the needle too much. JBD a good 3rd pair RHD....hopefully Grzelcyk is still out there.

you called JVR! Docker and Mitchell are better than Holl.

I'd love to hang around, but I got s*** to do. Maybe something will happen while I'm away.... please?
