the knock on gonzalez is that he's not a physical run defender, wont step up against the run. great cover guy. not sure that's what this lions team is looking for in a corner. they may want someone more physical.

too soon randy, too soon. 😞

you dont put someone in that program because they dont play defense.

4.27 for dj turner. yikes, son!

what was that rick james said about cocaine? i dont know what happened with vrana, but i have a suspicion his problems come from off the ice.

yzerman is assembling a lot of picks. that islanders pick could end up being vancouver's unprotected first in 2024 and the bert pick could be the bruins unprotected first in 2025 if the bruins age results in them tanking next year. shrewd, imo.

detroit retained salary on bert and vrana, they cant retain anymore.

yzerman is buddies with st louis's gm. is this just a payback for robbing the blues of walman and fabbri?

killian's true value to this team is that he speaks french. that will make victor happy when he's here.

vrana scored as many goals in detroit as mantha did in washington. in 1/3 of the games. the trade didnt work out perfectly, but its ultimate value will depend on how cossa and buchelnikov do.

people say michigan wolverines on the radio all the time.

i hope the lions draft anthony richardson at 6 and trade up for jalen carter just to watch this board's collective heads explode. 🙂

richardson has the most upside of any qb in this draft. brad holmes went to florida multiple times to watch him. they already interviewed him. regardless of whether they take him, they are interested in him. i dont think its a smokescreen. theyre going to visit with and see many prospects, lots of whom they wont draft (like thibodeux last year), but they are doing their due dilligence on him for sure.

welp.

upper body injury...

copp with a great screen on walman's goal.

chiarot with another cross ice pass that's easily picked off and seattle starts on the break again.

it seems like a lot of teams play their backup goalies against us.

connor bedard is back in play!

i see two or three wins on that schedule. maybe four. ras out for the season now.

youre going to give up assets for a goalie? that's not smart. goalies are very fickle. husso is fine. you dont need another highly paid goalie.

and i'd like it to keep going. and it wont if they dont continue to bring in 5* players like jj. if jj stays healthy this year, i think this is michigan's best team since 97.

he's 21 years old. people make mistakes when theyre that age. from a football standpoint, there were rumblings before this about his lack of motivation to play. that would be a bigger concern to me than a one time act that ended with horrible consequences. we dont know him, this could be a catalyst to some self reflection moving forward.

i think you might need one of romeo okwara or harris. probably okwara. if not, you should replace him. houston doesnt look like an every down player and they could use a guy who can be strong on the edge against the run. okwara might be too expensive to keep or he might not be as good of a player coming off injury, but if he's healthy he might be one they keep around.

if he can get anything of value for suter, he really is a genius.
