@Richter915 is that kevin kurz guy any knowledgeable?

 

Please give

 

I generally trust anyone from the athletic but kurz is very new to the Islanders beat, like less than a year. Arthur staple was amazing for them but he's the rangers guy now.

 

Didn’t know that, he was the isles guy for so long

 

0-82 here we come

 

Lol borgstrom, the guy I drafted in dynasty because I typed Petterssons name wrong and thought he was already taken

 

I’ll gladly take Strome on the wings please

 

Friedman made a comment that he is uncertain if Yzerman is comfortable committing long term to anyone at this point in time. Strome could be a legitimate option because he may want to bet on himself on a short term deal in attempt to get a higher salary later.

I can’t wait for Yzerman to sign like 3 guys to 7 year deals and Friedman is just completely wrong because no one has a clue what is going on in Detroit.

It was really interesting watching Yzerman’s post-draft media availability, and he said something along the lines of “we needed a goalie so now we got that taken care of. We tried to do more things but couldn’t get anything done…” It’ll be interesting to see if he is super active because it sounds like he’s trying to shape the roster finally… could be a wild time in FA… or he could sign Marc Staal and a couple other vets to 1 year deals. We’ll see!!!

 

I definitely think he’s bringing back Staal for one more year. He was fine in his role

 

Apparently he is one of Carolina's top targets

 

I agree, but I liked what Yzerman said about his upcoming free agents- he said that he hasn’t decided for or against bringing any of them back. He said that he’s looking to improve his roster, so it sounds like it’s a situation where Yzerman is interested in guys like Staal, Gagner, and Rowney, but if he can find better guys to fill those spots on the roster he will do that instead. I feel like both Staal + Gagner could find a deal somewhere regardless of if it is Detroit or somewhere else

 

Someone please take Myers lol

 

Put his number in the garden rafters

 

I will take one Chychrun thanks

 

Dude is barely breathing lmao

 

Don't love the idea of going into the season with top two C's who are 37 and 36 years old but I am very happy to have Krejci back

 

Our teams going to look the exact same as last year. Love this team.

 

Hajek forever

 

Caps didnt qualify Samsonov and traded Vanacek....sooooo Kuemper or Campbell I guess?

 

Kuemper to Washington and Campbell to Edmonton feel like done deals to me

Dreger says Murray to the Leafs getting close
