Good news for fans in Windsor, Sarnia and Chatham. Unfortunately for me in Vancouver, my time shift affiliate for CBS, NBC and ABC are all Detroit's, but Fox is Rochester, NY.
We will see. All we know so far is that he has hit on his three top #6 picks of Seider, Raymond and Edvinsson. Other than that it is too soon to tell.
I don’t want to completely forget how the Wings played under McLelland in January and February. That bought Yzerman more time with me. But it has been a disastrous March so far.
My daughter arrived home from college for spring break last Thursday. The Wings have gone 0-5 while she's home. Good news (only from a Wings' perspective), she returns to Montreal later tonight! Our luck might turn.
Caps score early in the 3rd and the Wings trail 3-2. Scorer is Chychrun, another player that with some creativity the Wings probably could have acquired in the past year or two.
Brandon Carlo from the Bruins to the Leafs. Carlo is a tough defenseman who could have helped the Wings. But ahh, just realized Leafs gave up a 1st, that’s quite a bit.
And Berggren (#33 overall) and McIsaac (#36 overall) in that same draft. Felt like we had walked off with four 1st rounders. I think I described it that evening as a "potentially franchise-defining draft". Hey, I guess in a way it was, just exactly opposite to how I had hoped.
I have to think Mittelstadt was available for a reasonable price, given what Boston gave up. Coyle is old and Avs gave up Mittelstadt AND a 2nd rounder.
