Cossa to Edmonton rumors are starting to get very strong.   

[slothfacekilla]

Kevin Weekes is reporting Utah has interest in Cossa, which delights me because of their farm system.

It seems like all the Cossa to Edmonton rumors have mostly been random twitter accounts parroting the same rumor, and yesterday one of them made up a podcast quote to make it seem like it was about to happen.  Glad an actual "insider" has some info finally.

ok....yurov, denoyers, two firsts and a second?  or yurov, iginla, two firsts and a second?

the problem will be that minny may not want to part with wellstedt and not to a western conference team.

[slothfacekilla]

I don't have interest in Yurov either, but either will work as filler here for me haha

 

Wonder if anyone bites on Gustavsson for the Wild to give them some cap space because right now they have very little cap and a lot of roster holes to fill.  He does have a NMC, is coming off an injury and has a long contract.  Wallstedt would be their best trade chip as far as value coming back but something has to be done with their cap situation.  At least they signed 31 year old McCarron to a six year deal, any time you can lock up a 15 point player through age 37 you just have to do it (and a nmc clause!).

Does this say more about Thomas or about Detroit’s scouts?

Have you got Guerin's and Yzerman's e-mail?

I'd probably do this given the two 1st round picks + Stramel. But I don't know that Minnesota has their 1st this year, so we'd be getting a 27 and 28 1st. I'd rather get more capital for now and next eyar.

Wings, Wild, Sharks. A trade the assures the rebuild of the rebuild gets started. Too little? Too much?

Wings Get: 2026 #2 and #20 overall picks from San Jose + 2027 1st round pick from Minnesota + Charlie Stramel/C and Lirim Amidovskil/RW from Minnesota

Wild Get: Dylan Larkin

Sharks Get: Alex DeBrincat

I do not want to see ADB traded. At least not in the off-season.This is a team that, despite having several empty jerseys, was in contention for a playoff spot until the very end. Some of those jerseys will be filled with better players next season. 

obviously, Larkin’s will not.as far as Larkin’s replacement goes, I am still holding out for an established an NHL center (or high-end young prospect) with a mix of prospects or draft picks. Run it back to the trade deadline next season and see how things look. If ADB does not want an extension at that point, trade him at the deadline. Trade Faulk too. but if you are Stevie, you have to see how much of the culture issue was related to Larkin.
