Nylander would be a huge addition. Hellebuyck is interesting especially as a local guy but I'm not sure if he fits with where the team is at. Otherwise PLD (if he signs an extension), DeBrincat or Boeser intrigue me. Not interested in the rest at all.

If I was an Oilers fan I would be absolutely disgusted with that Nurse contract. He looked absolutely awful defensively from what I saw most of the series. His decisions on where he places himself on net front plays is baffling to say the least.

I feel the same way! I am not sure if it is just me trying to cope but it makes me feel better about passing on them. Too many of those guys on a team and it is tough to win imo, but I'm no expert.

I haven't been very impressed with Nurse or Bouchard in their own zone this series but maybe I haven't seen enough of their games. They both made some awful plays a few games ago leading to goals against. It seems like they're more 4th forwards than actual defensemen most plays.

Had to share this hilarious GIF

Seabass finding his groove you love to see it

He's a....unique lookin fella

I would imagine that this means he would get more minutes in the KHL itself which would be great.

I would just worry that the hawks would sweep it under the rug so we wouldn't find out we had Bedard until years later.

Not before Weekes on ESPN announced Columbus at 3rd even though they hadn't done the drawing yet, the NHL really does try to make it seem as shady as possible.

Not surprised, but very annoyed

Apparently Walman is out of Worlds with a lower body injury now.......sounds not great but hopefully just precautionary.

Veleno and Walman will play for Canada

Seems like he had his demons, really sad to see him go so young.

welThis explains the random shoulder injury.

Way too young, sheesh.

I'm oddly really intrigued by Martin. I haven't seen a ton of plays from him but I did see a few where he was really eating up blocks and then pouncing on the running back as they went by him. He also seemed to randomly have good pass rush metrics too when people were discussing him on Twitter. It sounded like he showed really well at the Shrine Bowl too. I'm hoping there's a hidden gem in there especially when you get him in professional strength and health programs.

I thought he missed a game / was day to day when he got called up, at the time I figured it might be managing his games played. Doing a little googling it oddly looks like a lower body injury though. I think it was Gudas who hit him?

I feel like almost every one of the top Wings prospects who either joined GR or Detroit this season got a fairly serious injury, bizarre.

I feel like it might take even more honestly, Connor is only a $7.1 million cap hit for the next 3 seasons which is a steal for a point per game player. A couple first round picks, edvinsson, third round pick, maybe someone like Veleno to give them another cheap roster player with some utility (PK). I could see them trying to find a taker for Ehlers or Scheifle maybe? I am not sure what happens with PLD too, does he finally make his way to Montreal somehow? The Jets are going to be interesting.

An absolute boatload, is there a rumor he's available?

Not too surprising about Grand Rapids. It is probably Watson's job to lose like Shinzaki mentioned. Whoever it is it better be a good choice, there are going to be a lot of prospects to develop in GR the next few seasons I feel like.

Lashoff's last home game*** The Griffins are actually on the NHL Network at 8 pm tonight I think for their last game at Chicago
