Add my signature to Cates' Seilke campaign. Opposed to breaking up Cates-Brink-Foerster. If it's done, Brink will be moved. Cates/Foerster partner up for everything—PK/PP included. Brink plays top line PP occasionally. Regardless, the trio seem to be buddies. Let em enjoy this, stop separating them.

Better. How would you sort them?

💯

But, it’s still emotionally safest to anticipate it will be a complete bloodbath.

Flyers have perhaps the worst defense I can recall them having to start the season. Wonder if Abols place is ~cemented because he's the strongest on stick of the 4 in rotation (Luchanko, DeLo, Grebenkin, Abols).

Glad Sanny likes big minutes. Hope the other in the top four D are already hydrating.

Can EJ be lured out of retirement?

Brutal. I heard somewhere Delauriers once played D (probably the biggest player on his minor teams)…can he slot in? This is so bad.

Personally, would rather have Jason Robertson.

Thanks for this!
Re: Kaprizov. Can’t see spending $16M on a Russian wing when Michkov will likely to need as much or more in <2 years.

That said, I’ve heard the Wild ❤️ MN boys on their roster. Brink + Tippett (Cates wouldn’t cover it) for Kaprizov (+ a 1st) would keep them safely under the cap.

Because this is the worst possible timeline and we are 48 days from a proper distraction.

Danny’s unwitting decoy?
August 14, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Huh, sounds a lot like LA.
August 12, 2025 at 5:26 PM
1000x this. (I f—-ing miss the *boring* president)
July 20, 2025 at 3:44 PM
Yep.

BSH signet ring incoming?

I really like Poehling. But you’re right. I am surprised Poehling’s concussion history doesn’t get mentioned more in the trade imbalance. Is it poor form/bad luck to mention those?

Needlepoint that on a pillow.

Whoa! Do you have solar?

With the Goalie market thinnnnnning out, options are getting scarce. Bidding war for Silovs?
July 1, 2025 at 2:10 PM
I liked it!! All the griping about Danny giving up a pick to grab Nesbitt early is ridiculous. Danny is keenly aware of value. He’s patient about getting value to. If he think Nesbitt is worth the gamble and the assets, he might be right. Is there a GM who does more in person scouting?

That said, it’s an amazing bit of deal making, but I hope Tocchet shows some flashes of Torts to keep the shenanigans off the ice and away from the locker room.
June 23, 2025 at 5:30 PM
Good show. I could see this as a York pleasing trade, but I worry about the a screwball-trio impact on the team.
June 23, 2025 at 5:25 PM
Nili Lotan shon pants for the win. They are all weather compatible. Good luck w/the weather. Looks brutal.

Mojito wasn’t allowed either. Spelling Bee is getting sting-y

Is this a clever give-me-space without saying “get out of my space” strategy?
