After hearing Elias Petterson rumors it was deflating to not actually land him...

But I get it...

you really are crazy.  why would you want him?

welp, were boned.

another year, another march collapse.

so daniss jenkins' deal next year isnt guaranteed....right?

focusing on the failures on the 2024 draft just shows how otherwordly good holmes' previous drafts were.  you got multiple potential hall of fame players in three draft classes.  that's almost unheard of.

we all knew this day would come, when those players became expensive and/or injured.  branch isnt likely to come back.  who knows about kirby.  we spent quite a bit to retain jamo, that might come to be a regrettable decision.

This team is still so soft.  i can see why they brought back perron.  even if he's hurt, thr guy just plays hard and mean.

instead they have ras, and compher, and elmer (before they dealt him), and aljo, and raymond, and debrincat, and kane.  not many with any kind of toughness.  

larkin, chairot maybe?  copp on occasion.  who mixes it up?  who is hard to play against?  i havent seen seider delivering big reverse hits in a few years now.  raymond and debrincat are small.  where's the toughness?

please call up mbn and send rasmussen somewhere else.

they lose the game and larkin.

game over.

Larkin limps to bench after a spear in the worst spot.

were just cursed now.

Have to ponder if that means Linderbaum is officially gone. They’re going to have IOL problems next year.

i dont see how they can afford him now.

cannot lose this game.

Crosby to the ravens for two first round picks, so now you all dont have to worry about the lions making such a crazy move.

the 2024 draft fiasco looms even larger now:

Arnold - he will soon will find out what happens when you are a non-impact player who has off-field issues

Rakestraw - injured player has been injured

Manu - not good enough to fill Skipper's shoes, let alone Decker's

Vaki - instead of filling DMo role, he's a ST player, which you can find in 7R or undrafted guy

Wingo - too small

Mahogany - if he stays healthy, could start for next few years at LG

2025 isnt looking too spectacular either.  ratledge looks like a keeper...keeping in mond that he was a pick everyone thought was great at the time.

other folks are higher on teslaa, but given what you had to give up to get him, maybe not worth it?  too early to tell.

perhaps the last two drafts will ha e brad being less cocky and more willing to listen to others, like the folks that told him "dont trade up for levi and alim, they'll fall to you..."

Early report was picks only. This shows Buchelnikov and Holl. I had hopes that we would see Buchelnikov come to the NHL and fill the net with pucks, but the trade market is the trade market. The blue line is stronger. 

bah.  

but that's understandable.  

they still have their prospect powder dry too if they want to make a bigger move in the summer.

about time considering how many crimes he's committed on the basketball court.

think of all the backboards who have fallen victim to his bricks over the years.

My guess is:

Edvinsson - Seider

Chiarot - Faulk

Johansson - ASP

JBD

probably.  might switch out jbd and asp depending upon the opponent, hone/away, and how physical they are.

nic roy and justin faulk and ancient john carlson going for first round picks +, imagine what trocheck or rob thomas would have cost.

Faulk to Detroit for a 1st and a 3rd!

going rate.  good deal if that's it.

So are we selling and buying at the deadline? Are we using this as a move to setup for another move?

opens up a spot for perron.

the identity of the team was the oline.  need to get a solid replacement for decker at the line's most important position.  or move sewell.

agree that this puts linderbaum in play for them.  might be the best solution if its feasible.

one more hour to go.

detroit and montreal standing pat so far...

i mean seriously, can we see what a team would give us for ras or compher????

then call up mbn and danielson amd just ride with that.

at these prices, perron might be the only deal they make today.

they should be willing to pay a lot for a real needle mover who wont cost a piece of your core, like thomas.

but a second for corey perry?  luke shenn?  nick foligno?

i would pay a first and a good prospect for trocheck, but not multiple firsts.  a first, lombardi, and wallinder?  sure.  a first and danielson?  i dunno...

corey perry for a second round pick!  oy vey.

on the one hand, you arent going to run up against a freak like wemby until the finals.  so no real reason to be concerned.

losing ausar for any length of time is a huge concern.  fortunately the schedule lightens up a bit soon.

but overall, the team is as flawed as its always been.  if robinson isnt shooting well, theyre going to be relying on tobias to open up some space.  in fairness to him, he played well in the knicks series last year.  can he do that again when the other team is focusing 100% of their defense on cade?  we'll see.

i'm starting to get worried about a potential first round matchup with charlotte...
