If anything the media sure is generating a lot of clicks

We could look foolish trading both ASP and Danielson but I think they'd have to both develop quite a bit more for that to happen. ASP is still young, but his play on defense this season leaves a lot to be desired. Danielson flashes some nice moments but needs to find that consistency against NHLers. I'm willing to take the chance shipping them both off with picks for someone of Hughes' level of talent. Honestly having him Seider and Edvinsson sounds like a dream. I feel like I usually overrate every prospect but I think I do this if Vancouver actually would.

he's making me look like a genius in fantasy hockey!

Purely off of the awood video it looks like Rasmussen and Soderblom actually had some good moments, winning puck battles and cycling in the offensive zone. I like that when Sherwood hit Raymond in the head at least a couple Wings approached him and then JVR actually skated hard and threw a big check. The Wings have to show some sort of fight.

Gibson made some great saves for sure that Copp goal was a Hronek masterclass

I'm pretty dubious about theoretical goals saved / goals expected models but at least this seems like he faced quality chances

Did Gibson actually play well or are the Canucks just the worst team in the league by far?

It's a shame Kasper is having such a rough season. I think I read that the Vancouver front office liked Danielson his draft year so I imagine it would have to be him in a trade.

I think adding Hughes would be worth losing ASP + one of Danielson/Kasper and say someone like Rasmussen as far as NHL depth goes. That plus a first round pick is still worth it to me. If they want say, Finnie instead of Rasmussen I'd pause a little bit. But the Wings desperately need an infusion of high end skill.

I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up, I'm not going to get my hopes up.....

I'd make that trade for Hughes if he indicated he'd be interested in re-signing. Outside of Seider, Raymond and Edvinsson no one is untouchable to me (though if you want to compete you would add larkin and debrincat into that equation). I like our prospects but the NHL club needs help now.

I think it is going to make it tough for trades to be made until way close to the deadline, almost every team thinks they can make the playoffs

I always forget about the new month new thread thing!

There's our superstar

Ya it was restricted to Hulu / ESPN+ with their broadcast (which is lame). I don't know if it is because I mainly watch hockey on it, but Hulu always immediately recommends me hockey or Red Wings games right away. So I'm no help on how to find them easily.

It feels like almost every team has been pretty injured this season from what I've seen

Plante is also of course on USA

Ya I'm sick of watching him play hockey

Think I'm muting this game, Buccigross is in the booth

I thought he looked really good from what I saw last night. You can see why some scouts were in love with his physical traits, he was very controlled moving his huge frame quickly around his crease. You really don't see this kind of athleticism with large goalies often. I have no idea how he'll fare in the NHL with Detroit's defense in front of him versus the very good GR team he's on now. But I'm not sure how much more you can ask of the guy especially with Gibson stinking up the joint.

Maybe the Wings could use a guy like Shine who will get after the other team

I really have been itching to make a trip out to see a Wings game at LCA. Unless I go solo I'll probably have to wait until my dog passes sadly. But one day!
