Sorry, I had to stop reading at “playoff birth.”

Is this like a serious question?

Or Edvinsson next year.

Seider, Soderblom and Raymond are not on ELC’s.

…and remove the “probably.”

They lost, but looked far from a lottery team tonight. Against Washington, absolutely, but not in this one.
March 11, 2025 at 2:33 AM
Simple. They got goalied in the second and third, and then reffed with that late, absurd call on Seider. They were the better team tonight and they didn’t quit. Unfortunately, I think their playoff run ended tonight but they battled.

Of course, we both fan as we want. They gave Yzerman no reason to be a buyer again this year. I have a good deal of hope for next year though. 5 kids in this year’s lineup, more coming next year plus lots of cap space.

Walman cost Edmonton a first, and there’s no way Yzerman would want him back after moving on from him last summer. Dumoulin is a 33-year old rental who went for a second and a prospect. Cozens was interesting but Detroit didn’t have a Josh Norris to make the deal.

That much seems fairly certain, especially if his move to Florida was amicable.
March 7, 2025 at 11:13 PM
They’ll probably re-sign him as a UFA in the summer. I suspect he was asked about moving.
March 7, 2025 at 10:50 PM
Who would you have acquired and at what cost? Also, how do you get teams to take the players you want to get rid of. (They don’t want them either.)

He got 3, and lost $90,000 in salary. Not great but it’s better than just letting it slide.
February 25, 2025 at 2:41 AM
That’s a shame.
February 24, 2025 at 2:40 AM
I’m thinking the league will give him 3-5 games for that hit directly to Rasmussen’s head.
February 24, 2025 at 2:35 AM
Haha

Thanks for not calling him The Toddfather. #lame #lgrw

Thanks for dropping by!

Out of gas.

What if the wins against Winnipeg, Washington, Florida and Tampa get them in? Every team loses to bottom feeders, so the what-if game is kind of a waste.
January 28, 2025 at 2:07 PM
100%
January 27, 2025 at 5:01 PM
He still could if he doesn’t sign an extension with the Hurricanes. He wants $14m. With the cap rising, if I’m Yzerman I’d be all in on that.
January 26, 2025 at 8:54 PM
Zero credit to the other team?
