Interesting, didn't he use a NTC to not come to Detroit in the past? 1 year $1 million with incentives, not much money at all

https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player/jacob-bernard-docker/8480879 Now this dude for 1 year 875k alrighty then

https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player/ian-mitchell/8480070 1 year 775k for whoever this is, hopefully just ahl fodder

TSN posted then removed the Miller to the Canes trade, wonder if they hit a snag or something

Holy hell that Jeannot contract Boston gave him is absolutely hilarious, his agent must be amazing

Rumor saying teams were ready to give Jake Allen $5 million a season lol, kudos to Yzerman for getting ahead of this awful goalie market

The Athletic keeps floating that the Wings had something big in mind for this offseason which seems like a lofty claim, but the only thing that makes sense to me for that is trading for Miller after Garikov signs but I will expect nothing so I'm not disappointed.

the Blue Jackets saw the Predators making desperate moves and figured they should get in on that too, woof. That's a very expensive Demko extension too, wonder if he'll ever stay healthy

With all the noise about Garikov wanting to go to New York and him turning down the Kings' offers I would be shocked if he wasn't a Ranger at noon edit: I'm not the only one to see the obvious I guess lol

I guess the power play will hopefully be good again, I would have been fine not re-signing Kane honestly. But it doesn't really move the needle either direction for me overall.

I want nothing to do with Ryan Lindgren I would be pretty upset if they gave him a significant amount of money

Meh was kinda hoping Berggren's rights would get traded this offseason

Pretty expensive....I don't rate the Predators roster very highly myself. Apparently Rasmus Andersson has turned down extension talks with Ottawa, Columbus and Los Angeles with Holland and the Kings allegedly offering a lot for him but Andersson doesn't want to play there.

The Wings' official announcement did not include anything besides Tank and future considerations, so no draft pick or retention.

I think Tarasenko will rebound a bit next season (year removed from his father's death + contract year) but I am happy to have his cap and roster space available.

Yzerman can't strong arm free agents into signing in Detroit if they don't want to lol Sounds like Red Savage is going to be signing an AHL contract with Grand Rapids

Well, I'm looking forward to the this offseason was a failure post!

He was listed at 170 last season so this is great news, hopefully keeps him from getting injured so often

Wings hoping Buch comes over next season

Wonder if ol Joe signs an AHL deal or something

this will shock everyone here but I am really liking what I read about their draft picks. Tyurin is intriguing too.

Well they were able to dump Veleno’s useless play for a marginally better player on an expiring contract so they got Veleno off their books and an open roster spot not re-signing Smith. The goalie market is awful this offseason so Mrazek would shore up the tandem for another season unless Yzerman could get an upgrade. And he did! If the Gibson trade didn’t happen Mrazek would have most likely been better than what was available in free agency.

Uh oh internet people are going to be pissed the Wings drafted a goalie in round 3 lmao https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/874040/michal-pradel 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.
