I'm fine if he does walk honestly. I feel like some team will overpay for him if that's the route he wants to go.

Kinda reads like he's coming back but is also pretty ambiguous...not sure what to make of it after his press conference at the end of the season

Brad is spending! Two great players to lock up.

Depends on your definition of defense! (I actually think he was quite good at it, he was just in the wrong era where puck possession and offense were almost a knock on defensemen)

I'm guessing that is what will happen, just a shame that the original one with the tribute to Matt Wuest as the trophy name is going away.

I went by skill personally, that's how I read the question but can see an argument for Yzerman for non-skill reasons. I debated including Datsyuk instead of Fedorov too.

Howe, Lidstrom, Fedorov

Looks like the Traverse City prospect tournament is falling apart. Only Dallas is coming this upcoming offseason for a couple games, kinda sad.

Something I notice Joe Veleno doing a lot too

Just ignore Edvinsson over-committing to the player on the boards 🫣

Ya and Copp admitted to the media that the coaching staff asked him to basically play super defensively last season. I think their big issue is on the wing though. DeBrincat isn't adding much defense, Raymond tries hard but isn't very big, Perron is pretty slow, Kane was Kane, and we don't even have a true checking fourth line because Sprong is Sprong. Fabbri also tries hard but isn't very big.

I'm excited to see Johansson, I wouldn't mind finding a trade for Berggren... Johansson is playing with Edvinsson on the top pair tonight for GR, I thought I posted the lineup somewhere but I guess not

It is a shame Perron is so freaking old, he looked like one of the only players that cared/was playing hard at times during the skid and he actually plays "playoff" type hockey.

Chasing and paying for past production is the easiest way to give out a bad contract. This is a guy who has scored 20+ goals 4 seasons out of his 11 seasons yet you expect him to be the guy who pots 40 goals / is a 30 goal scorer? He's scored 30 goals once in his career. I'm not willing to make that bet personally but I can see why someone might want to chase the name recognition. I'm not saying he's a bad player, but there's a reason he's going to be available.

Well Hanifan signed an 8 year extension with the Golden Knights so that's going to be a tough one to pull off. With how people are reacting to Copp and Compher, I'm shocked Lindholm's name is being brought up especially when he'll probably cost more than those two. Compher had a better season than Lindholm last season.

I watched Patrick Kane's media availability yesterday and the vibe I get from it is that the thing that is most important to him is that he gets a longer-term contract from his next team. I'm not sure that's the way Yzerman wants to go with him but it'll be interesting to see.

Sounds like he'll be in the lineup tomorrow for GR

Who is this young-ish top free agent available to even swing for the fences on? It a good idea in theory but I'm not really seeing any potential UFA that really fits the bill unless you consider 28/29 in that category of youngish, and then really all you've got is Guentzel and Reinhart. Anthony Duclair? Teuvo Teräväinen? These are all wingers too.

It was a good time spending the season with y'all, I'm bummed we couldn't get a playoffs out of it too.

Stupid flyers

Kane has had a rough game overall imo

Caps score into the empty net

Of course not

I'm not sure I would have our fourth line out there right now even if Sprong tied this up

Sprong's celly there is hilarious
