that is surprising...

the coyotes are an embarassment to the league. just move to houston already.

listening to these guys try to speak french is funny.

i doubt wright gets past arizona or seattle.

i wouldnt trade larkin for #2.

nemec!

slafkovsky! now what do the devils do? wright or defense?

certainly not #8. i'd trade them zadina and a third. but of course, that wont get it done.

anyone. they're desperate for talent and just beginning a long, long rebuild. either jersey didnt want debrincat or werent willing to give up #2 (or maybe any more than #2) to get him.

debrincat to ottawa for #7, #39, amd a future third. as long as they think they can sign him in two years, that's a good deal for ottawa.

pittsburgh signing 35 year old letang to a six year deal. any way we can trade them bert for a first rounder in...say....three years?

any interest in debricat or dach? hawks looking to move both. debrincat will cost a ton. hawks supposedly want a top 15 pick for dach....which, i'm sure they do! buffalo might be a good spot since they have multiple first rounders.

that's definitely the case is soccer and the nba, so its probably true in baseball too.

i cannot believe erod would agree to void the contract. he's guaranteed this money and he will never get it again without this contract. if things are THAT messed up in his life that he's thinking about doing that, then he's really in a dark place. all the tigers can do - and should do - is offer their support and assistance.

the league consensus on nazar is all over the map, from 5th to 25th. he's small but fast. some say he has high compete, some say he doesnt. prashanth had him to the wings at 8. lots of people do. i think i'd rather have savoie, but if they picked nazar i'd be fine with it. they need speed.

its not like he was setting the league on fire before all this happened.

that sucks. but there are a lot of teams that cant afford tkachuk that might be interested in bert cause bert would be a much cheaper option than tkachuk. if youre toronto, how do you get tkachuk? you really cant. but if you movr mrazekk, maybe a prospect and maybe a pick you can get bert. who knows. we (meaning me) focus in on detroit more than anyone else, but there are lots of other teams with some cap space and some vets who can make these trades too.

if the tigers are going to make a move and salvage something out of this season, this is the period to get it done. 12 road games, all against the division including 4 against the royals. if youre going to make a move, it has to be now. i dont think it will happen, but if it has any hope of happening...

buffalo has 9/16/28 and may be ready to make a more "win now" move. would you move bertuzzi for any of those picks?

that's another tough finish.

a conditional 5th! browns gonna brown.

i'd be happy with savoie. honestly, given their recent track record, i'd be happy with whomever they pick because i trust them. among the realistic possibilities (assuming jarlovsky, wright, cooley, jiricik, nemec) are all gone, i want gautier, savoie, kemell, nazar. out of the box pick: lian bischell. for some reason he reminds me of seider: big, good skater, pkus defender who was said to have limited offensive ability. not necessarily at 8, but maybe later. yes, we are now loaded with those guys on defense, but maybe he's a guy we trade back into round one to get.

then i dont trade him.

the people who always chant about "personal responsibility" when black people are involved are now the first people to bring up "social conditions" when white kids are doing it.

we all know how hard it is to find a quality nhl center. those guys dont get traded often for a reason: its a hard position to fill. larkin isnt jack eichel, but he's still very good and a borderline all star AND he's a captain. if he's going to get traded its for an eichel-like haul. honestly, its why i wouldnt trade him. unless his contract demand is Taveras-like and/or stevie really thinks the team will have no shot until larkin is 35.
