4x5.5 for hague.

wings were linked to him before but they passed, apparently.

michigan's picking it up on the recruiting trail.

ayton gets bought out by portland.

I read that Boston is looking for a return on Derick White similar to what Brooklyn received for Bridges.  Seems about right to me.  He can be that missing piece for a contender.  

would you trade for him if you were detroit?

lucas raymond is going to end up being one of the best contracts in the league.

6x7.75 for knies

this is the best news the pistons could have received on beasley.

1) prevents them from doing something stupid like signing him to a mulyi-year contract;

2) lowers his leverage for a shorter deal.

why santi?

stevie on tv saying he's not optimistic about free agency but is still looking to make some trades.

too few players being chased by too many teams.

its because stevie knows next year's 7th round will be stacked!

yzerplan in full effect.

Uh oh internet people are going to be pissed the Wings drafted a goalie in round 3 lmao

The 6-foot-4.25 goalie is really smooth in his movement and tracks pucks extremely well, he looks both above and around screens, and does a really nice job tracking plays even when he has to go into scramble mode. His rebound control could use some work, but it doesn’t seem to bother him or shake his confidence, especially in big games and high-pressure moments.

trade cossa while he still has some value!

2nd and a 4th in "future years"  according to Servalli.

I like it

2026 second

2027 4th

that second is going to hurt but we needed them to take mrazek's salary.

makes me wonder why they traded for mrazek at the deadline.  i guess to have some sort of backup plan if they couldnt make a deal.

gibson's an upgrade if he can stay healthy.

Wings sending Mrazek and picks for Gibson

i wish they'd tell us which picks.

yzerman seems obsessed with big, physical players.  which is good considering the wings are so small and soft.

it does make me wonder what type of team he wants.  speedy and puck possession or smash mouth physical?  we seem to be going with....yes.

You don't play that many years in the NHL if you can't skate

bert is a terrible skater.  he's an agitator.  he's tough.  he's got great hands.  he's a smart offensive hockey player.  but the book on bert has ALWAYS been that he cant skate well and that he freelances too much and coasts on defense.

its not like ras is kristie yamaguchi either, but he's better than bert.  

no analogy is perfect.  and ras certainly isnt a great comp either.  but if were talking FLOOR, for his career, i say a 3rd line big wing/center in a pinch type of guy is probably bear's floor.  his ceiling is bert who skates better and plays sound hockey.  or travis konechy-type.

travis konechny is not bear's floor, imo.  its more likely his ceiling.

Low side? Konecny? 

konechy on the LOW side?  we'd be very happy if he turns into konecny.

thr low side is michael rassmussen.

Post-Draft 2025 Cap Space and Spending Power Projections

He says Brooklyn is the only team we are certain will have cap space.  Just over $37 million.

Pistons are in the next group with only Memphis.

 

not sure why they still call it a salary "cap" when it doesnt "cap" anything.  its more of a salary limit suggestion.

see you in 2028 carter!

here we go!

all sorts of rumors that crosby is getting dealt to colorado...

8x8 for bennett
