Should have signed Moniak when they had the chance

6-3, 230lbs and 20+ goal scorer who's 22? Yep..1st and a 3rd would be cheap

Toronto is intriguing...they have Marner and Tavares as UFA'S and Matthew Kniess as an RFA. Offer sheets are generally frowned upon...but I might load up a poison pill to go after Kniess. He's young and has the size we lack

Next!

Nikolai Ehlers would be a nice FA if the Jets don't sign him

Bring back Kane. Buy out Tarasenko. Obtain a top line wing to go with 71 and 23. Cat, Kasper and Kane are your second line. Copp, Compher and Ras is your checking line..or 3rd line if you must. Elmer, Danielson, Mazur and Lombardi can comprise the 3rd line with an extra fwd. In a perfect world, Lombardi dazzles everyone and earns time on the top line The defense is seemingly locked in for next year. Be nice if ASP forced Holl onto the healthy scratch list

Tork!!!

Be pretty amazing if the two 1/1's we wrote off last year as washouts lead us to the playoffs

Coming into the season...I thought they could regress a bit this year after losing Perron and Ghost..esp on the pp. Ironically...the PP has been better this year, even though Gustafson and Tarasenko were not suitable replacements for Ghost and Perron. Ras, Compher and while he was here, Veleno all backslide a bit. Those issues have lead to a crippling lack of 5 on 5 scoring. Couple that with the inexplicably horrible PK and lack of consistent goaltending and you get a team that will miss the playoffs. On the bright side...Edvinsson has been decent and shows a lot of potential...Kasper has shown more offense than his detractors thought he would and Johansson has shown he's a viable 2nd or 3rd pairing dman. Not gonna be much better next year unless we find a legit wing to roll on the top line with Larkin and Raymond to provide more scoring. I hope they can bring Kane back..or they'll need another wing for the second line. They also need a better LHD for the top pairing. You would hope guys like Danielson,Cosa, Wallinder et al...would get a shot. Would like to Watson up here as well...I think he bring an edge that this team really lacks. .

Is NIL money playing a part in his decision? If he's getting paid already, he might view another year at MSU as being preferable to shuttling between Toledo and Grand Rapids on an entry level deal.

Two round mock on ESPN today has Detroit taking DT Harmon in rd 1 and OG Tate Ratledge in rd 2. I would prefer Zabel in rd 1 and DT Darius Alexander in rd 2...but Zabel is off the board in their mock...as is Alexander in rd 2

Ok Boomer...

I still think it's gonna be Grey Zabel unless he's gone...fits too many slots to pass up and gives us an heir apparent to Ragnow.

Lotto luck smile upon us so we can draft Michael Misa...he is EXACTLY what we need. Heck..even Caleb Desnoyers would work. Grab Finnie's Kamloops running mate Behm in the 2nd rd...or maybe spend some draft capital to move back into the 1st round to grad LD KaShawn Aitcheson..a Dman with some skill and a physical edge

Philly just fired Torts...

Moniak is a former 1/1....Like Tork...someone saw something sometime

Prior to moving to Denver...The Colorado Rockies were the Kansas City Scouts. Stealing hockey teams is what that ****hole city does

the next Chet/Wemby?

5 to 1..1 in 5....no one here gets out alive

8 years?

I heard Benetti on 97.1 one morning raving about working with Gibby..so who knows

In my 20s I had a lot of people tell me I looked like Gibby. It's tough to see him struggling because he was my doppelganger of sorts. In my late 30's people started telling me I looked like David Wells. That was wake up call to drop a few...dozen..pounds

Cap space is not an issue presently...we have bigger needs to address than playing musical chairs at a position of strength.

Or if you want to appeal to people who really love Tork bombs...Carlos Pena.
