is there a point to summer league now? no one of consequence is playing anymore. seems like the teams have decided to get their rookies properly prepared for the regular season by sitting them in 1/3 of the games...just like in the regular season. load managment.

as opposed to the other side of board who thinks hinch is basically hitler in a track suit because of the astros scandal?

because you have a bad general manager?

dont count your kilingberg's before they hatch.

twitter alive with klingberg to detroit rumors...

i might give up one lottery protected first for mitchell but i certainly wouldnt give up 6. neither will the knicks.

good luck with that. michigan is an old institution run by old people who think theyre different. also, harbaugh has this mythical idea of what the football program is. i agree the alums will get mad, i'm not sure that's enough. if it isnt enough, michigan will soon be northwestern. they may have to endure a few more brady hoke type seasons before they realize they've broken the football program. that's what it took the last time.

you have to hope edvinsson and kasper develop into top players. they very well could. yzerman has had his first two picks turn into instant good players. find some gems in later rounds. make good trades. you dont have to have mcdavid to win....after all, mcdavid has never won and toronto hasnt even made it out of the first round. not every team can be pittsburgh lucky and get two franchise players every time they tank.

better players. their best players arent close to guys on colorado or tampa or toronto, to name a few. lottery luck and/or draft luck would help immensely. larkin is great, but he's closer to a #2c than someone like mcdavid or mackinnon. and he's their best forward. raymond has potential. seider is a beast but he's one guy. they need at least one more of him on defense and then three of him up front. there are a lot of ways to build a hockey team, but you have to have talent in all of them. the wings just need more talent and they have to hit on a couple guys late in the draft. we'll see if soderblum and mazur are those types and can be our brayden points and ondrej palats.

lol, there you go!

shut your whore mouth harris frommer!

hilarious. how long until he leaves eastern for ypsilanti community college? six weeks?

yeah, and i want johny gaudreau at 5 years $5 million... i dont think you'll get klinborg for that, but we'll see.

you'd rather have klinborg at 7 years for more money (klinborg is 30 now and declining)? i'll take the shorter deal. we'll see what he gets on the market. heck, they could still sign him.

trade him now before the babip comes back to earth.

and a 10 game winning streak...

look at del defending joe dumars. i know global warming is a thing, but is hell getting really cold now?

klingborg will get more than that and doesnt play any defense. he's a better nick leddy. i'd rather have copp than strome. i dont like chiarot's contract, that's the one quibble with yzerman today.

or not!

yes, but chris illitch isnt a very good owner, so instead he says stupid things.

athletic gave the wings the best deal of the day: perron athletic gave the wings the worst deal of the day: chiarot

he really had a strange career as a gm, from being one of the best to being one of the worst almost overnight.

fabbri is coming back too. i forgot about him. is ras a winger now? suter a 4th line center? seider-chairot edvinsson-hronek? maata-walman? i wonder if a trade for a defenseman is in the works? leddy got 4 years at $4m per today. that and trocheck's 7 year deal make me feel better about copp getting 5 years and chiarot getting overpaid.

what defenseman would you have signed and for what money? manson got as many years and as much money to stay in colorado. ian cole?

gaudreau is supposedly going to play closer to family in jersey. i mean, detroit is closer than calgary but still...
