Edvinsson could very well be a top pairing guy for a long time. Guessing he's gonna need 2-4 years before he plays for the big club, but who knows. No need to hurry him - you're likely not gonna be a contender before 3-4 years anyway...
- 21peter

Exactly. 2-4 years. Yzerman doesn't rush prospects. It seems like any player Yzerman drafts the Wings fans whine about it. Like when Seider was drafted. Guy is a beast. We'll see him in the NHL next season. Red Wings fans whined for years about not having a young stud goalie in the pipeline. Stevie trades up to get one and they cry about it. "We need LD!" Stevie gets one and they complain about not picking Eklund. It's embarrassing. This fanbase is clueless. I've always known it.

I have serious doubts about Robertson. I hope I’m wrong. Again.

I'd give him time. IMO he is more talented then his brother but smaller. It took Jason till he was 22 before he hit stride. Good thing Dallas didn't jump the Gun. Hope the Leafs let Nick get past puberty before drastic measures happen... Lol.

Kuemper(3M)
Crouse 1.5M cap but 2.25M actual salary

for

Kerfoot
Engvall

Sign Brock McGinn 2M

LW

McGinn-AM-Marner
?-JT-Nylander
Crouse-?-Mikheyev
Simmonds-Brooks-Spezza

They'd have 6.5-7M to fill the final two holes.

Oh he should be a good player.

I don't think he has a high ceiling but his shot is very good.

His skating to me cuts his ceiling at 2nd line winger that can play on a top PP.

Y’all are going to love this. Dubas: no talks with Rielly re extension. Will re-examine that after free agency

Yeah but Bogo brought a way different element than the others and was only paid 1 million. How is he replacing that?

Free agency start yet?

Nicks older brother, plays for Dallas. Pretty much one of there best players.

Went from expansion draft, to NHL draft into free agency within a week. I think the contract can wait a few extra days.

You see Seider paired with Leddy next season already or he's waiting 1 more year?

And here's to you, Jason Robertson
Dallas loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Jimmy Nill bless you, please, Jason Robertson
Heiskanen holds a place on the team you play
Hey, hey, hey

Its not surprising

Is Matthew knies good?

- 21peter

I expect Seider pairing with Leddy next season. I think it's the main reason why Yzerman acquired him. Yzerman played on bad Red Wings teams early in his career and he knows how important it is to surround young players with good vets.

Guess that explains missing the playoffs

I'd be thrilled if Nick ends up 2/3 of the player Jason is shaping out to be

Cuz he is being traded. Opens up cap for Hamilton or Landy. 2.5 mill from letting Hyman walk, couple mill after signing a cheaper 1b and Anderson walking and Reilly's 5 mill... 5+2.5+2= up to 9.5 for Hamilton or Landy. Depends on which way they go it still leaves 3 for a forward or a Dman if my maths right... Lol

Pretty decent pick. Plays like Hyman but bigger and has a very good shot.

That's what I gathered from the evaluation in the blog but trying to understand why he went at 57 and not 1 or 2

Sandin/Dermott

He only wanted to play with his boyhood hero Auston Matthews.
