PS: Would Vancouver actually stoop this low...?

Or would they take on this chance (their bet/ risk) that they could actually turn Ras into something?

Stupid chance and ****ty risk... but who knows what Vancouver is actually thinking right now...?

He's a local boy who doesn't love a good story 😂

Wonder if our organization’s goal is to win the AHL and we just never noticed.

They're just trying to fill their AHL roster with all the call ups and injuries.  They also signed a bunch of guys to tryout deals too.

This really has been the most depressing season in a long time.  once again they were right there.  once again injuries caught them at the wrong time.

only this team they dealt their first round pick.  you know what that means....welcome to st louis gavin mckenna!

How are we feeling about the Faulk trade today?

[1984Echoes]

He's under contract for next season too...

So...

Incomplete.

But definitely ASP needed to go down to GR. And the Wings needed Faulk to absorb 2nd pairing minutes because of that. Although I've read that he & Chiarot are NOT a match made in heaven... to me that means Chiarot needs to be pushed down to 3rd pair... except who's going to push him down...? ALJO? Nope.

Back to Faulk... If they would only bring up Buium or Wallinder... I think he'd be the perfect mentor/ fit for a young LH'ed D'man just breaking into the NHL...

I REALLY want to see a 2nd pair next year of Buium and Faulk... I'll let you know how I REALLY feel about the trade for Faulk by next year's trade deadline...

I think he was a good add... although it did cost that 1st round pick...

Just my 2 cents.

there's a lot of rationalizing and cherry picking in that article.

I don’t disagree. But season two does not necessarily define a career.

Since the Canadian teams don’t seem to like the American Olympic hockey players, what do we think about a trade for Brady Tkachuk? He has one more year on his contract for a little over $8 million. He would bring an abrasiveness to the team that we haven’t had in a long time not to mention being a top line scorer.

sure.  but they wont trade him to us and if he's on the market were likely to get outbid, just like we did for hughes.

and we dont have a first round pick to trade this year.

Watch this be the year the Wings card finally moves up.

The Leafs traded their 2026 #1 last year at the deadline but it's top 5 protected. The Leafs finally fell into the NHL bottom 5 tonight. If the Leafs win the lottery and get to pick Gavin McKenna ...

I agree it is unlikely. But they traded DeBrincat to us. They traded Perron to us. Sure, different situations, but every situation is a different situation. If Ottawa doesn't think they can re-sign Tkachuk or doesn't want to re-sign him because he's American, he's exactly the kind of player Yzerman should be in on, especially if Yzerman does not intend to trade Larkin. Larkin needs someone to do the dirty work on the ice and in the locker room.

if tkachuk comes out and says "i will not sign an extension and will only sogn an extension with the detroit red wings" then we can probably trade for him.

the red wings have a better chance of making the playoffs this season than that happening.
