I thought the move from the top of the post from before the compilation post was pretty slick, granted I did not watch the game so you have a better idea than me! He most likely will settle into a role like you mentioned in the NHL, but it'll be interesting to see how much offense he shows.

Thank you for sharing all of that, really interesting stuff.

First preseason game tonight

Buch was in a small "slump" but with 3 assists this last game he's back to a point per game pace

He's backkkkkkk

One of my favorite Tony Twist facts is that he sued Todd McFarlane because he included a mob character in the Spawn comics named Antonio "Tony Twist" Twistelli. Think Tony ended up getting a few million bucks out of it.

Encouraging from Buch

It's over!!! Great contract imo, would have loved eight years at that cap hit but hey can't be perfect

Hey I was pretty close

I think you might be reading into the less than Larkin stuff too much. They have just over $8.7 million in space right now, which is Larkin's cap hit. Seider's contract also buys out RFA years whereas Larkin's was buying out full UFA years so those are theoretically going to bring in a lower cap hit based on how the teams treat RFA vs UFA.

Never a doubt! Could be a steal in the end.

He's only in his second KHL season at age 21, I still think anything can happen. He wasn't on a very good team last season either https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0070342024.html Wings are streaming their prospect games on youtube, from their 5-1 win last night:

I don't disagree with anything here, I'm just trying to temper my ratings of the Wings' prospects because I feel like I get carried away a lot lol

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.
