bIueadams 776 Report post Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Friedman says Toronto likes Bertuzzi a lot but no one interested in Tuzzi bc of his vax status. Says he talked to one coach he suspected was interviewing with Detroit, and the coach refused to speek to him bc of fear of yzerman finding out. Says SY hates leekers and puts the fear of god in his staff. Asked Friedman who has the Michael Jordan "dominate" attitude? Elliotte says Pronger... Pronger liked to beat you, let you know he beat you, embarass you, and beat you up. Says he thinks Crosby, Spezza, and Lidstrom will make phenomenal executives one day. Tells story about Lids that Babcock told him. That Lids was the best player hes ever had who didnt think he was important at all. Says Blake Comeau will make a great NHL coach one day. 5 hours ago, Jonas Mahonas said: We signed Steve Kampfer Tuomisto leaving Denver for Finland Edited May 24, 2022 by bIueadams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trade up 5 spots and draft Logan Cooley, Or stay where we're at and draft one of Lambert, Nazar, Lekkerimaki, Geekie, Kasper. Or hope that Matt Savoie falls to 8th overall.

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted May 26, 2022 After Wright, it really is a toss up. After Yzerman's drafting success with Seider and Edvinsson, I think other teams ahead of us are going to take D. Cooley isnt likely to be available at 8, but I am hoping Lambert or Savoie are. I consider Geekie more of a consolation prize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonas Mahonas 1,872 Report post Posted May 26, 2022 I really think Yzerman will trade up to 3 or 4 and grab Jiricek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You already have 2 studs on D. Giving up assets to trade up and grab another one, when you have a gaping hole at 2C, doesnt make sense to me. Even if SY goes BPA at 8, and its a dman, at least he isnt wasting assets to trade up for more of what he already has.

I like that more than I like Hronek/Lindstrom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bIueadams 776 Report post Posted May 30, 2022 What if we just ignore 2C in UFA and go for BPA? Here me out, every team has weaknesses and holes, places where they want to improve. 2C is our glaring one, but we also lack talent everywhere. Up and down the roster. A major addition at any position drastically improves us. Look at Larkin. Without wingers he was a 50 pt center. With Bertuzzi and Raymond he's an 80 pt center. Going for BPA (wingers) could drastically improve our output at 2C. Thinking Suter/Veleno/Ras here. If we want any 2C not named Malkin or Draisatl to perform we have to give them tools to work with. Lets give our current boys something better than Fabbri and Zadina. BPA also gives us the benefit of a sheer higher influx of talent. Something we desperately need. Bertuzzi - Larkin - Forsberg ($8) Vrana - Suter - Raymond Palat ($6) - Rasmussen - Zadina Fabbri - Veleno - Berggren Sundqvist Zadorov ($4) - Seider Edvinsson - Hronek Edler ($3) - Lindstrom Oesterle Four lines that can all score. Plus we have to spend around 20 million anyway. This represents 21. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dylan is 25 he is in the right age bracket per the various discussions... I doubt Fabbri is available before 1/1/2023...so why not get the young brother...

Akakabuto 1,831 Report post Posted June 1, 2022 What I’m reading about Strome is he’s slow and soft but talanted enough to put up a good amount of points when playing with Kane and/or Debrincat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
