Crickets up to now.
What are the odds that Benning has deals completed already and was just waiting until draft day to announce them just to make the day more of an event when there is a bigger audience? That’s possible, right?
Or, on the other hand, with no draft picks today, maybe more crickets?
I'd say Benning has the upper hand with both Bill Armstrong and Markstrom. The yoties don't want to give away their franchise defenseman but he has them over a barrel. Same with Marky. He wants to stay on and see where this team can go more than he wants to cash in with detroit and suffer that fate.
It sure looks like Tanev is gone though.
Yeah, Tanev looks gone, kind of mixed on it but in some ways I agree, he was lucky last season (injury wise). One of those hard choices. Now if we do land OEL, it would make loosing Tanev easier to take.
Taking on Larsen's contract would be very much a deal for the now, not the long term future. Better win the cup in the next three years.
I'm stuck wondering "who's the Dane", but then I realize you mean Larsson...

Wings fans will be happy, I browsed their board pre-draft.
Raymond was the consensus fave.
No wonder. Håkan Andersson went all in on him and, as you know, Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsiuk, Tomas Holmström, Niklas Kronwall, Johan Franzén, Valtteri Filppula, Gustav Nyquist, Jiří Hudler and Jonathan Ericsson all confirm that Håkan knows his shit.

Jurmo's projectable 6-foot-4 frame and smooth-skating lend itself to covering large swaths of ice and carrying the puck from one zone to the next sometimes effortlessly. His speed makes him one of the best puck-rushers in the Finnish U20 league. He accelerates well when he's already in motion and is a deceptive skater in the neutral zone with crossovers and changes of pace
