Shinzaki

Dominik Kubalik also?

Skubal with a called 3rd strike on a 100MPH (!) FB...that's prime JV territory there

Chiarot/Seider will be a bear to match up with physically. Perron should boost the PP. I think Stevie wants to be in the playoff chase

Or get Van Riemsdyk and a 1st so Philly can sign him

After he closed out last season on a high note...I'd like to see Ras on a line with Copp and Vrana

Ottawa's 2021 draft was pretty questionable... Would have preferred the RH Strome, but Copp works... Need to add some LHD...if not via FA maybe a deal or two?

Doesn't seem to be too many DMen in Pronman's early rankings...bias or reflection of actual distribution of prospects?

Dylan Strome is an option for 2C...but I would prefer his brother Ryan because he's a RH shot.

How did Austin Meadows suddenly become so frail?

I was watching some youtube stream called "Woodward sports" last night...I think DMac is associated with them...during the draft. The lead host Adam...something...was touting Brad Lambert as a possible pick at 8. Dude must have researched using a Hockey News from last spring

Nice! They can take their time with Cossa

The Wings have shipped a third rd pick to the Blues for pending FA goalie Ville Husso

There was a fair amount of talk on The Athletic that The Wings were on him pretty heavily during the SHL playoffs. The lack of pure production doesn't concern me given his age and the skill level of the league. That and he earned more time and responsibility as the season wore on

Who Chicago jump us to grab?

At first I thought he might be binge watching Stranger Things...but he should've been done with that ages ago

No Flores? That's a bit of a shock

Eichel did not score 50 in a season...his high is 36. Larkin's is 32... Eichel has more consistency in his favor...and he's scored more PPG. But Larkin is viewed as being better defensively and he's not a "locker room cancer". They both have had neck issues I would expect a healthy return for Larkin and/or Bert...but...I'm not sure I'd want to bank on either one as a cornerstone of a rebuild.

At this point...all you can do is hope the man's OK.

Pronman's final mock had Slav at 1, Jiricek at 2, Cooley at 3, Wright at 4, Gauthier at 5 and Kasper to us at 8....he does indeed say NJ is rumored to have some interest in Kasper. IIRC...there was a lot of talk that we would be on McTavish or Kent Johnson at 6 last year, but they were gone before that. C with top 6 potential are really valued these days.

Haase is now OPS' ing above .700....it's a miracle!!

Saw a rumor online that July 13 would be an important date for Larkin's negotiations. My gut reaction is they're going to trade him.

Down in Lakeland, Sequera has 13 HR's ...and asub .700 ops thanks largely to a .260 OBP. He's only 19...hopefully, he'll develop some discipline

Kumar had a non-rotator cuff/ labrum shoulder operation (Per Boras) in September. Be there for us in the 2nd...later?

I would love to see them draft Jung...sounds like an Ian Kinsler, Jeff Kent type of 2B
