Mr. Allen

I love Tage. Really do. But I worry he might regress a little next year.

Good point. But I like that they are trying new things out right now. Hope the guys that do have chemistry and play well with each other don’t lose it come next year.

This is what I think too. I think this is a big audition for Mitts and to see what they got in him moving forward.

I’d like to know who was pounding the table for Nylander and if he still has a job….

Has anyone heard anything from Johnson? Is he talking at all? Any leads?

Last thing we want is this pick sliding into the top 10 and Vegas sending us their 1st next year. Or maybe it won’t be that bad? Vegas could suck again next year. We already have two firsts this year. How is the crop of talent looking next year as opposed to this year?

No.

Only one first and we had to give up a 3rd?

Krebs has to be a part of this deal or I’ll be pretty disappointed. The picks will be late which I don’t like. But I feel like we’re starting to draft better so maybe we’ll actually pull an NHL player out of at least one of those picks.

Sorry, but your source is wrong about that.

Brisson. All day in my opinion. More upside. Plus his daddy is Jack’s (and a lot of other stars) agent. Might help to be on his daddies good side.

Actually I believe it can be agreed on by both sides (GM’s), but hit snags such as an owner who is hesitant.

Your source is wrong. 🙂

“Insiders” have no idea what they are talking about.

Great write up. But from what I know, there’s a clear leader, and I don’t think it’s Vegas.

He’s getting traded this week. Maybe in the next couple days.

I haven’t been able to watch either of the games this year, how is Tage looking at Center? Better than at wing?

I kind of hope we lose a lot of games 6-5. Offense on fire and the D plays well, just goalies can’t stop a puck. That way, next year our offense is even better with Wright on it, Power will be up, and we spend the big bucks to get a goalie with UPL as the backup.

And this is why KA needs to get this trade right and get AT LEAST one can’t miss prospect. That ROR trade set us back so much. Just destroyed us.

They’re back in? I certainly hope so. “One team many believed were suitors, primarily through media reports, may actually be in on the 24 year-old Eichel. Eric Stephens who covers the Ducks for the Athletic said this in a recent mailbag post: The Ducks, while not publicly talking about their interest in him, haven’t put the kibosh on the persistent rumors that they’re among the teams closely monitoring the situation between Eichel and Buffalo. While Adams is under pressure to get a massive trade return for his star, he does have some leverage in that Eichel is signed long-term and his full no-move clause doesn’t kick in until next summer. So while the Ducks could be interested, it remains to be seen if they would part with future star Trevor Zegras. It’s also possible that Buffalo would consider Anaheim’s 3rd overall pick in this past draft; center Mason McTavish. However; Buffalo would also want Jamie Drysdale and more to complete a deal.”

Yeah, watching Kakko, I’m not impressed. Maybe he figures it out as he’s still wicked young, but I’m not counting on him to be as good as some think.

How good is Wright? Where would he rank among previous first overall picks? He’s no McDavid, right?

One of the things that I think some people might be forgetting, (and I apologize if this has been brought up already) is that small market teams out there have almost zero chance of landing an elite player like Eichel, unless you get lucky to draft one. More than likely, those type of players won’t be signing with you in free agency. They are going to want big market exposure and the fame and fortune that comes with it. So this might be the only chance a team like Minnesota has to getting an elite player like Eichel.
