On his latest 32 thoughts, Friedman is saying that Yzerman is now going after Travis Konecny. He fills most of the boxes that Yzerman is seeking.

Pretty sure that Alex Debrincat to Detroit is dead now.

Is he worth the #17? PLUS more? If so, let's do it! Philly rebuilding, send them Zadina as well!  (yes, I am always trying to get rid of him! Although dumping him won't bring us Hughes or Bouchard back to within our reach.)

Says they're listening to offers for Hart as well. Hmmmm... package deal? Konecny and Hart? At what price?

It's ok, he'll just take his arbitration award and sign with us UFA next July.

I bet Ottawa was asking for a King's ransom from us, being inner-divisional.

I'd rather have Konecny than Debrincat. He's a slightly less offensively talented winger, but only marginally. Conversely, he's marginally more "gritty" than Debrincat. But also he's under contract for two more years @ 5.5 million.

And he also plays goal line to goal line.  This news made my day.  Sick of hearing about Debrincat's demands and lists of places he'll play.  The owners should all get togethet and collectively blacklist that guy.  He hasnt done S H I T yet in his career, and he thinks he's Wayne Grestky.

That's pretty histrionic my man. First, he's not making demands. He's simply said he won't re-sign in Ottawa, so it's in their best interest to trade him. He's not missing training cap because he's holding out. And he's not Eric Lindros. Second, he does play "goal line to goal line". His defensive metrics grade out quite well for a smallish scorer. Maybe not better than Konecny, but he's definitely not Jakub Vrana either. You pay WAY too much attention to plus/minus. Every single regular on Ottawa's team was a minus player this year. So what? That's more indicative of a bad team than a bad player. Two years ago Larkin was -18 and he's one of the better defensive centers in the league.

Konecny is 5’10 and was -13 this season and -23 last season. Pass.

Why are you again after a high priced, unnecessary goalie? We have Husso, who is at least fine for now, and Cossa in a few seasons. Unless either of those 2 don't play well enough, there is zero reason to blow cap space on another goalie. Either way, that problem is at least 2 seasons down the road.

What? He has put together quite a few good seasons, and has every right to use what leverage he has.

Whether it's Debrincat or Konecny we really shouldn't spend many assets on wingers right now IMO. The reality is that this team is going nowhere until we have a 2C that can carry a line against top competition. NOBODY is game planning for a 2nd line centered by Andrew Copp. It's a testament to just how good Dylan Larkin is that he still produces near a point per game despite the fact that whatever line he's centering is the only line that can score. He is keyed on as much as any player in the league and he's still very good. But without someone else he's sunk, with or without any Debrincat or Konecny types. This has been a glaring weakness with this team for a decade and continues to be. It's good that we drafted Kasper, and I'm hopeful, but the range of outcomes for him could be Phillip Danault to Pierre Luc Dubois to anywhere in between. It doesn't matter who we sign or draft if we don't have a quality 2C we're not taking the next step.

While were dunking on minus R-slurs, its worth mentioning that AA is on pace to become the all time most minus player

One of the better wingers in Philly, 5'10" Right Handed Winger which we need.

UNTIL he starts to center Bedard.  Then it's PLUS CITY for the kid.

We need a 2nd goalie. Have you seen what's available via UFA? Ned isn't coming back. A trade will need to happen or we'll have Husso and an AHL quality goalie. That won't fly.

Yzerman has stated that they have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what to do about Ned and Magnus. So they aren't necessarily gone yet.

That's code for "we're hedging our bets because the goalie market is thin". He'll bring one or the other back on a short term deal if he can't land one of the few marginally better options in FA. I'd be bummed to see either of them in net next season but we may not have many other options.
