Basically to appease someone again, done with that.

Adams seems like a smart guy. Doesn't mean he's good at his job, but I'd hope he's at least smarter than that.

When is the Biden/Putin meeting? They got to call it off or get Jim Carrey in makeup. My god we’re doomed.

I don't think the above is enough.

I'd hold firm at Comtois, the Ducks 3rd overall this year, and their 2022 unprotected 1st.

Just getting the 2022 unprotected 1st would be enough for me to trade down to pick3

Trade idea:

Eichel & Okposo and a 2022 3rd to Vegas for Marchessault, Tuch, Fleury and 2022 1st

But says June 30
Of course this year could be different

- Anderdog


I believe June 30th is when it's a normal, regular league season schedule, but it's pushed out to July this year due to the season beginning so late.

So he's the Draisaitl of the draft is what you're saying?
- Wetbandit1
That is what I am saying. I havent seen any mocks placing him first, he should be though. And I have little doubt of him being the most dominant offensive player of the draft.

Power = Erik Johnson

Why would Fleury waive to come here?
Seems extremely doubtful

Agree with the Eklund being really good take but the bold is super lazy

I could see Power being a Letang type d-man.

I think that is his ceiling.

It’s the obvious reason it wouldn’t happen imo

In general, seems like the poster wants to try & win now…. But i just don’t see that happening
I’m all for a rebuild
Trade Jack, Sam, Risto & even Olofsson for young players, prospects & picks
I have no interest in trying to win now
Unfortunately it will likely be another couple rough seasons before our new young core can grow up a little & hopefully start winning games consistently


Better?

Power = Pietrangelo at his best IMO

Both are fantastic passers. 6’4 guys who aren’t overly physical but do enough and with top minute eating potential

If everything goes perfectly than Bouwmeester

I’d be fine with that caliber of player considering JayBo was a mid range #1 for a good decade.

But I think the O upside is way better

Rangers may add Dan Girardi as assistant coach, per the Athletic.
