Pronman must be doing A LOT of projecting to put the likes of Anaheim and San Jose above the Wings.

Guessing they’re being overly cautious with it being preseason

Word seems to be he aggravated an old injury and is out for next game

Not great news on this though

I feel dirty linking Pagnotta but I think at this point it looks like Raymond's agent talks to the media quite a lot. Not really new but more positive than most framed reports.

So my guess is Raymond's agent has been talking to the media with this coming out too. They don't seem too pressed or concerned but I do wish they were closer than it sounds like. Tough with the translation to know if "no offer that is equal" means they just haven't agreed yet or if they're far apart. I do wonder if this Pacioretty rumor is being floated by the team as a way of trying to force hands though it is a fairly big leap to me. The Swedish news outlet speculates the Wings opening offer was 5-6 million a year though they admit no one has any idea. If that's close to being true my guess is the Wings are hoping they end up in the $7 million - $8 million range. It does appear both Raymond and Seider are participating in Mannheim's training camp right now, Seider's old team is preparing for their preseason.

Hmm looks like another Pagnotta rumor so I'm skeptical but who knows this could be coming from Max's agent. Apparently the Leafs are looking at him too. He feels redundant with the Taresenko signing to me. I guess it could be a good locker room addition but I'd probably rather roll with younger guys.

Sadly that kills a ton of fun storylines with him coming up on UFA

Filip Zadina signs in Switzerland, big bag fumble by him

Drive sober and drive safely. There's never a need to drive after five to six beers and never a reason to pass someone on the ****ing shoulder of the road. People can be so selfish and it breaks my heart.

Another two goals for MBN....18 year old absolutely lighting it up against men. I am getting way too excited. His shot alone gets me all hot and bothered but he's such a good forechecker and plays so hard... I cannot wait for him to get to Detroit.

Well if there's no agreement he can't play, he isn't arbitration eligible so he's holding out until ink is on a contract. He won't be a UFA until 2028 too. Theoretically they could agree on a small bridge contract to take him to arbitration, but it doesn't feel like either side would want that (in my opinion). Unless Raymond comes out and says he does not want to play for the Red Wings because of the contract negotiations I can't imagine they trade him. If we get into training camp I'll start worrying about our RFAs not being signed personally, but right now I expect them to get deals done because it just is the most likely scenario all things considered. Yzerman has had late signings like this in Tampa and Detroit so it isn't too shocking even though I'd rather they be done already!

I'm guessing Toney isn't a target lol

I'm a moron and didn't realize released players went through waivers!

Noah Brown got released in Houston, wouldn't mind the Lions taking a look there

Could be Raymond's agent putting it out there, but that was tweeted by David Pagnotta who is notoriously unreliable especially when it comes to the Wings. He tweeted the same thing about Larkin during their negotiations. Could be something there but I figured I would add that caveat. I am anxious for Seider and Ray to get signed.

Obviously not the best footage...drives to the net and looks like he goes five hole to tie the game. Then what looks like a power play in OT he's set up as the right side bumper and scores the game winner with a one timer. Both the type of plays I love to see him making. For a kid who's "big" knock was lack of high end shot it is positive to see. It seems like Austria is asking a lot of him so this should be great for him.

Doesn't include today's two goals or crossbar, but nice compilation of plays

Cannot wait to get this kid in a Wings uniform I'm trying to be conservative in my projection for him, so I'll say he'll only be slightly better than Ovechkin

Kasper is playing for Austria in the Olympic qualifier warm up games, trying to find footage of his goals! This was against Slovenia

One holdup I've had on Mazur is his weight, but boy howdy am I excited, from the Winged Wheel Podcast where they interviewed him: "The weight room is somewhere I've been living the whole summer summer. I needed to put on weight and I feel like especially training in Detroit I have all the resources around me to do that. I feel like it's been a really successful offseason so far. " He says he is currently at 6'1 185 lbs. I hope he keeps pumping that up and can actually maintain his weight game in season were it is incredibly tough to do so.
