As opposed to a player like Hronek or a non-1stround draft pick? Or as an in addition to all the the aforementioned picks and players?

Were I Yzerman I would inquire about Matthew Tkuchuk. He's the kind of offensive player that can really accelerate this rebuild. Not very many chances to get a 24 year old, legit 40 goal scorer, capable of getting 90-100+ points in a season. I would assume a trade involving Tkuchuk means at least a semi-rebuild is starting in Calgary. I think the package I would initially offer would look something like this: . . . Flames Get: Wings 2023 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Round Picks + Tyler Bertuzzi + Filip Hronek Wings Get: Matthew Tkuchuk Does that get it done? Too much, not enough?

This town will riot if we ever make a a Super Bowl.

I hope he allows us to start recruiting the way Texas A&M just did this past year and I hope we have a head coach capable of doing that. If we want to compete with the big boys that's how it's going to have to be done. I have no clue on how Ono will govern the University, but something tells me our head coach and alumni base is not about to go all Jimbo Fischer with NIL money and recruits.

What will Trump's nickname for DeSantis be?

Remember when people got worked up over emails on the right?

A week into free agency and still Klingberg hasn't signed with a team. I wonder if he and his agent overplayed his market value? Are they waiting for the offer he wants and refusing to come down on contract length or salary demands?

Man In Me is probably my favorite Dylan song only because smoking and watching the Big Lebowski is a past time. But Girl From North Country is one of Dylan's best.

A honk if you love Jesus sticker calmed him down.

I don't enjoy pointing out Reagan's condition, nor Herschel Walkers. But we continue to have people on the right playing doctor and diagnosing everything under the son with Biden. These people also did it in 2016 with Hillary when she had fainted the one time and had to be helped into a car. At least Arch finally admitted Reagan wasn't fit for office. There isn't clear, definitive evidence though that Joe Biden has any sort of brain health issue. If it comes out right after Biden leaves office than I'll eat crow on it.

Your boy was proud of the fact that he could say Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. Speaking of people with brain health issues, how's your boy Herschel 10 Kids Walker doing? Got any of the Chinese air over your house yet? How bout your other boy Reagan. They literally had to Weekend at Bernie's this guy through the last term of his Presidency.

Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. You know, not many people could repeat that back.

Terrible signings by Kenny. Mike Smith had a 2.81 GAA, which was 30th among starting goalies this season. Typical Kenny, didn't have a plan in place to go with someone younger and tried relying on an almost 40 year old veteran. He resigned Mike Smith when he was 38 to a 2 year deal I believe as well. Kenny was gifted McDavid and Draisaitl to build a team around. Outside of Evander Kane and maybe the Hyman signing, what are the strong moves Kenny has made to elevate the team around those two?

Well, when you play for one of the worst General Manager's in sports it's only a matter of time before you want out.

I'd love for Yzerman to add one of McDavid or Draisaitl when they get tired of playing for the subpar teams that Kenny will continue to build around them.

They had a -82 goal differential and ranked 25th in total goals. I think they need all the scoring they can get. Rolling out two lines with really productive offensive defenceman, plus the additions of Copp and Perron, could really elevate this offense. I still think we need a true, top line centre to get into Cup contending status, but Klingberg could be a big addition for our offensive production.

Same. He's been my top free agent want of the season. The fact that we could role out two lines with top-tier offensive defenceman, capable of producing 50+ points is really enticing.

The Blackhawks got two franchise players when they tanked too, as did the Bruins, Kings, and Lightning. Blackhawks got Kane and Towes Bruins got Kessel and Segiun in a round-a-bout-way (the Kessel trade netted them Seguin and Dougie Hamilton) Kings got Doughty and Kopitar Lightning got Stamkos and Hedman Maybe it is Seider and Raymond for us?

I think what Buddha said is true. We don't have superstar players on this team outside of Seider and it shows on the ice. Larkin isn't a #1 centre on a Stanley Cup winning team, I don't think. Neither he, nor anyone else on this roster, sans maybe Raymond one day, is going to be a perennial 40+ goal scorer. I think in general we lack not only a 40 goal scorer, but an offensive player who can take over the game and dominate. Missing out on guys like Jack Hughes in the lottery hurts when you're in need of a #1, top line Center. I think Larkin is a very nice player, but I don't think he's carrying us to the Cup ala Datsyuk or Z back in the 2000's. We need a superstar, scoring more than 31 goals on average in a season, to lead and quarterback this offense. I don't know where we are going to get that player and I'm not sure our most recent draft pick Marco Kasper, who I like a lot, is going to be that guy either. We need to find ourselves a dominate offensive playmaker and it would be real nice if that person just happened to play centre and could quarterback our offense.

Glenn Younkin beat Mcauliffe. Doesn't that signify they'll come out and vote?

I read on Twitter that Klingberg might be signing a 1 year deal with Ottawa, but IDK how reputable that person posting it was.

Does Trump announcing before the midterms give the GOP voters juice to turnout and vote though? Could it have the opposite effect of what some think it could have?

Who wants Klingberg at 7 years? I didn't say that. I mentioned previously 4-5 years at $4.75mil/year and would have gone up to $5mil/year. Look, I'm not going to cry about going with Chiarot over Klingberg. I just would have preferred Klingberg instead. Maybe we'll still get him and hopefully Chairot isn't on the downside of his career.

We ranked 25th in total team goals and had a -82 goal differential. If Klingberg can help facilitate more offense, he had 41 assists versus Nick Leddy who had 21 in 21-22, then that's a guy I want on my team. We need offensive production more than we need defensive defenseman. I trust Yzerman and believe he made solid moves yesterday. I would have rather given the Chariot money to a guy like Klingberg though who can help drive offensive production.
