7 Weekly Thoughts: JT Miller needs to start acting like a captain or relinquish the 'C'
We all knew this was coming. JT Miller, despite being on the ice for two disallowed goals yesterday, looked engaged and healthy as Team USA beat Latvia 5-1. Thi

I've been saying Utah should be/will be in on Trocheck, and though I still think he's headed to Minnesota, #NYR should be looking at C Barret Hayton and possibly prospect Danil But.

Want to hear something funny?
Of course we all know #NYR insisted on Libor Hajek as part of the McDonagh/JTM trade. Hajek was a 2nd rounder by TBL in 2016. That pick was originally Arizona's.
How did Tampa get that pick, you ask?
By trading 2014 1st round pick Tony QAngelo there.

I feel like #NYR could do a bit better than Yurov, which makes sense since it seems like Wild fans don't really want to part with him.

Latvia will try to play a very north-south game. If they were interested in going east-west, they would call themselves Longvia

Real ones remember when Stu Bickel played 5:03 in a 3OT game.
Time on ice in Sweden's 5-2 win over Italy:
D Oliver Ekman-Larsson - 0:00 (zero shifts)
F Filip Forsberg - 1:07 (one shift)

The latest Blue Seats After Dark just dropped for the Subscriber tier. I talk why #NYR *must* trade Braden Schneider now, and why part of that is Chris Drury's fault.

As per usual, @stevedangle20.bsky.social, @adamwylde.bsky.social, and @jesseblake.bsky.social nail it w/ #NYR.
JT Miller has been a failure as captain. Chris Drury has been a failure at GM.

Sure does feel like Trocheck to Minnesota is a done deal, doesn't it?
So, @evolvingwild.evolving-hockey.com - what do you think is a fair value trade? I'm guessing the centerpiece is one of Spacek or Jiricek, plus a 1st and 1 more piece? Am I completely....wild....in that guess?

I think San Jose is the best fit for #NYR and a Braden Schneider trade. Where I struggle is guessing what a realistic return is.
William Eklund or Colin Graf, one for one? Feels like from NYR. Add Othmann?
Cameron Lund and a 1st? Doesn't sync w/NYR's quick turnaround goals.
