I was quite worried that the Sedin 'turn the other cheek' style was going to take hold. So far, it's looking unlikely.

They didn't have final say?

Damn! This day is going a lot better than expected.

Of course I had very low expectations.

Already more moves than I was expecting, and no complaints.

Are they actually building a team that will "be hard to play against "?

I hope it's a quiet day for us. Let's pick up some cheap character players in the coming months.

He's got 15 games of waiver exemption left - he can sit in the A, or we trade him.

I think the genie is out of the bottle so to speak - so I'm guessing they'll be with the big club. I would like to see each of them- Buium, Willander, D-Petey, paired with a vet next year. Buium-Hronek Marcus Pettersson - Willander D-Pete - UFA And we'll need a #7 (vet UFA?) to come in and plug a ...

For sure. I would sign him to a 2-way contract. 300k at AHL level (or whatever - pay him enough so he wants to stay) and 1.8-2m at the NHL level. If someone wants him off waivers, we set him up and fuck whoever takes him. (is this even a legal contract??) Otherwise, he's just here to do veteran ...

When an NFL team hires a head coach, they are more-or-less committing to build a roster suitable to playing that coach's system. Players will get drafted and traded on the basis of how well they fit what the organization is trying to do on offence and defence. The biggest difference between NFL and ...

It's ok Megs.... he's gone now... deep breaths... ohhhmmmm....deep breaths...

Not with his NMC. :/ But... he has a 15 team list in 27-28.

Last, if Tolopilo doesn't make it through waivers, is it such a bad outcome if Koskenvuo and Young split the net in Abby next year? Time to see if either has what it takes to succeed at that level. If Tolopilo is lost, we don't really have that #3 to fill in yet. I have zero confidence that Demko ...

Looking at the depth chart has made me more interested in the '27 draft. A lot will depend on who gets traded (EP40, Hronek, DeBrusk) - 2 of those would help us get a shot at #1 again. BUT... we do need some people around to show the kids how it's done - Gallagher will help, but keeping Hronek would ...
