If it can be the 2027 1st round pick...I might do that.  If he can play the off wing as a RH shot on the top line with Larkin and Raymond.  We badly need offense

March ‘25 Detroit Red Wings: “we are going to lose often and lose spectacularly, causing great distress to our loyal fans, such a collapse will be hard to top”.  

July ‘25 Detroit Tigers: “hold my beer”.

Allegedly the "source" broke the coach Q to Ducks stuff but I am skeptical 

why would they trade mactavish?

asp for mavtavish doesnt really make sense for detroit's long term plan.  detroit is loaded with young forward prospects, asp is the only high end defense prospect detroit has.  why deal him?

bear?  danielson?  sure.  but not asp.

and i dont know why anaheim makes that move.

I guess because he's an unsigned RFA people think there's a chance he'll get dealt?  I don't believe they are seriously shopping him but weirder things have happened I guess, I just figured I'd pass it along because I'm bored.

the discussion is always appreciated.

but i dont see it for anaheim.  they are loaded with cap space.

The story at least cites an unnamed NHL executive, and I don't doubt that Yzerman has inquired. That's his job to gauge the market. But I can't imagine anything happens unless McTavish forces his way out, and even if that happens I can't imagine Yzerman giving up ASP. 

With the Wings, there is no magic bullet. We just have to hope for the kids to progress quickly and for the team to improve from within.

The Athletic did a bit today about how teams ranked with the cap and the value they were seeing...the "wisest spenders".  Wings were 24th last year...this year they're 13th and trending upward as the worst looking contracts like Holl, Copp, Chiarot et al..are coming off the books soon

By 26-27 they will probably be in the top five. And they probably won’t have to overpay to attract average talent.

They need some help though...

I'd like to see Kasper up there with those two.

Probably Edvinsson too... except I like it that they have them separated so there is one dominant D on the ice most of the time. That would make it hard for both Seider AND Simon to be up there...

And... they need to find the right partner for each of them.

i look at that view of wallinder as the same as the general consensus: big, good skater, but lacks a mean streak.  he'll get a call up not because he's barged down the door and demanded one, but because he's out of options after this year anf they need to see what they have.

but the wings move very slowly with prospects.  he has this year to show he's ready for the next step.

cant be any worse than holl.

rumor that edmonton is asking about cossa/augustine.

i dont see a trade fit.  their only high end prospect is savoie.

also, they dont have anything they would trade to detroit that would help detroit now: front line scoring or top 4 defense.  

i dont see how a trade works unless they really like savoie.

The rest of the league has to assume that one of the goalie prospects has to go.  There will be more rumors on them.   With Augustine at MSU again this year there’s no urgency for Stevie to get it done now (Just like everything else in this organization!).  I think it waits until next year unless someone blows their doors off, which trading their top prospect like Savoie would definitely quality.

Speaking of goalies, I was at the local rink today and saw goalies galore! If Yzerman was there he may have signed a couple. Funny, of all my years around the sport, this is first time I recall stumbling upon a goalie camp. Anyways, it’s a neat facility, 8 Rinks, Canucks used to practice there, and this time of year many Vancouver area NHLers and prospects use it to get in some on-ice workouts prior to heading out to their team camps. Celebrini has been there several times this month, there was an Oiler and a Lightning player or prospect there today but I didn’t recognize them.

savoie is a 5'9 center.  i'd rather have cossa's upside.
