From Max:

Detroit Red Wings

The perfect fit: Justin Faulk, RHD, St. Louis Blues

The trade: Faulk for Detroit’s 2026 first-round pick, 2028 second-round pick, LHD prospect William Wallinder and G prospect Landon Miller

****

so max goes from a month ago saying he'd bever give up a first for faulk, to now saying we should give up a first, a second, and two prospects.

I am quite the crumudgeon.

Although so is Del!  he's worse than me!

The not-tanking bulls just lost their 11th straight game.

to portland.  the blazers sat avidja and clingnan and still beat the bulls by almost double digits on the road.

in fairness, the bulls may not have been tanking.  they chose NOT to play patrick williams, a sure sign that they may actually be trying to win a few games down the stretch.

simon edvinsson for mayor of canada!  let's see quinn hughes do that!

its always great to see a tkachuk get his ass kicked.

and so it begins...

2024 draft looking like a complete bust.

so now corner is on the table in round one?

i still think they'll be all over faulk.

It is not just the Olympics. There was buzz before then. They are a competitive team, unlike the Devils. They have players on the way. They have cap space and trade chips. On top of this, players listen to other players. When players on the Olympic gold medal winning team say Dylan Larkin was one of our leaders, other players listen.

Joking aside.  All they really have to be careful with are the national televised games.  That seems to be all the league really cares about.  Those of us who spend $20 a month on FD and hundreds a year on League Pass can kick rocks.  

then they should fine the thunder for last night.

if the other team ia going to rest half their players every time they play detroit, we might get to 60 wins this year!

he's being cut for a reason.  no thanks.

pistons win because cade is the best player on the floor.

duren still cant move his feet.

how long before schools start arranging for NIL be escrowed?

michigan state set up a separate legal entity to handle their sports contracts.  with specific rules that it does not have to answer to the public or foia requests.  how can a public institution do that?  

Decker announcing he's coming back doesnt alleviate their need at left tackle.  i suspect decker is close to finished.

this is embarassing for the league (and the pistons if they lose to this g-league team)

okc should be fined for putting out this lineup for a nationally televised game.

Lebrun of the athletic just did a big four part article on where the trade targets are going to go in the nhl.  listed about 20 players.

none were predicted to go to detroit.

does he know something?  i doubt it.  nobody knows anything about what detroit is doing.  my point being we see what we want to see and we focus on detroit.

i doubt the performance of detroit's three best players means anything in the big scheme of things, unless you also assume players now all want to go to winnipeg or edmonton or minnesota or new jersey?  maybe montreal because salfkovsky played so well for the czechs?

i think we focus on detroit and detroit players.

is new jersey suddenly where everyone wants to go because of jack hughes?  

there is plenty of buzz in the social media world about teams other than detroit, but we dont pay any attention to it.

Now that the Olympics are over and trade talk is heating up, it is nice to see the buzz around Detroit. Of course it is buzz and little of it will pan out, but the buzz is there because guys around the league saw Seider be the anchor for Germany. They saw Raymond be the best player for Sweden. They saw that everyone on gold-winning Team USA looked to Larkin as a leader. 

It wasn’t too long ago that fans were dumping on Yzerman, but suddenly he has a young core that is already in playoff contention, he has some talented young players in the pipeline, and he has money coming off the books. On top of this, there are a lot of talented players who now view Detroit as a great destination. The next decade will be a great time to be a Red Wings fan. 

youre reading a lot into the olympics.  what players now view detroit as a great destination?

Sadly if Kyper is the source of a rumor it probably means it is completely made up 

unfortunately this.

like lauri markannen...
