He's been injured.

You don't seem to be watching what's going on. You seem to troll quite a bit.

You throw a lot up there, just to see what sticks. James and Mazur are different players to me, mostly because James is a left handed shot, and Mazur is a righty. Mazur's game is more physical, and he's more ready for the NHL. James needs at least a year in Grand Rapids. The Wings need more left handed shots, which is a reason why I think Carter Bear might have a shot to make the team next year, but only if he can play with Larkin and Raymond. I think his game is perfect for it.

I'm talking about Cossa and Augustine.

I don't think they're far from being a top team in the conference. They really have two of the best young goalies, and a pretty complete defense. And I think they are well coached.

The contract for McGonigle covers 2027-2034. He's still eligible for ppi.

I don't think the Tigers have any offer for him.

92 points isn't a bad year. They had more bad luck than most.

Their system is rated #4 right now by The Athletic.

No, I wouldn't trade Rasmussen. He has good size, and was injured all year. I would use every pick possible to get better.

I think they need some forechecking forwards, and MBN and Mazur fit that bill. I think Kasper can fit well on the first line with Larkin and Raymond. I also like Finnie on the 1 line, since he's a great skater, and forechecker, and allows Larkin to not have to do too much.

Also, I think he fell because he was considered a 2b only.

McGonigle also had a commit to Auburn, and his number was in the high 2 million.

Right now, I consider their defense to be Edvinsson/Seider, Chairot/Faulk, and Johansson/Bernard Docker. If there's a young player they should consider trading, I would trade ASP only to recoup a first round pick for this year.

The Red Wings are not without talent. They should be able to bring up Carter Mazur and MBN next year, and hopefully Danielson. They have a really solid defense, which should be intact. Their goalie situation will be better with Cossa joining Gibson. I think the Wings will have two studs on the left side in Carter Bear and Eddie Genborg soon. I think they need to move on from Kane, Perron, and van Reimsdyk. They need to keep their roster younger and fresher. I think the biggest impact next year will come from Cossa, which will allow Gibson to stay fresher longer in the season. I wouldn't bring back a single UFA next year, and I think it's obvious they need to sign Edvinsson to a long term deal.

Top 2 qualify for ppi.

You don't trade an all-star who's struggling a bit in April.

You don't trade a player who's not playing well. That's like buying a stock high and selling low.

He has the speed to turn some grounders into singles.

The Lions #1 need by far is a tackle. They're not easy to find, especially past the first round.

I've done a lot of mocks on this site, and I use the consensus mock of all the sites they cover. This is my favorite mock by far. I was offered a good deal to move down in the first, but Freeling was available, and he was a priority. Trading down six spots in the 2nd put me in a great spot, and I love Rodriguez, and I'm sure the Lions do, too. I really like Klein, and getting Capeheart in the 7th was a robbery, and I don't expect he'll be available in the real draft.
