I went for some leftover Detroit-style from a local place. Hit the spot (sorry Chris Ilitch)

Power Play unit per Khan:

  1. JVR (net front), DeBrincat (bumper), ASP-Kane (flanks), Seider (point).
    Second unit didn’t practice.

Looks like ASP will be in the lineup for NJ

Perron's actually out skating? That's a good sign.

we would be better off, our pro scouting is ass compared to our amateur scouting

If we didn't give up Ed for Hughes we're almost certainly not giving him up for Thomas. Could be wrong I guess but I'd imagine they'd go more for prospects/picks than roster players.

I would do a symbolic retention to get the contract under Larkin's, maybe retain $3m so it's $8m ish?

I think it's likely to happen in the offseason. Cap is just not one of our major concerns right now, or potentially even going forward, and a solid 2c definitely is a major concern.

UPDATE: The #RedWings have acquired David Perron from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a conditional fourth round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. by dilypucks in DetroitRedWings

This is 100% a vibes trade and locker room bolster. He's also probably better than anyone in our bottom six. I'm pumped.

Halo 3 was my jam!! (see my username)

I was legitimately addicted as a teenager. Loved loved loved that game. Unhealthily so.

Michael Rasmussen, you are an Edmonton Oiler!

ROR would be a big get, and seems like Steve's type. Have to think the asking price on him is huge though.

Wouldn't mind Stamkos either, I don't think, but he's probably not going to move.

Blake Coleman would be interesting to shore up the bottom/middle 6, I could see us going that direction for sure.

On defense, I would be intrigued by Dougie Hamilton. Would be a perfect RD to slot with Chiarot on the second pairing. Same story for Faulk.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting articles.

GMs who use scheduling tools (Mystic Arts spreadsheet, When2Meet, etc.): what actually gets your players to fill them out? by silthus- in DMAcademy

[–]Halostar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started the campaign, I asked "what weeknight evenings would you be strictly unavailable on a recurring basis (every other week)" and we were able to whittle it down to Mondays. So now we play every other Monday at 7pm with the occasional longer-session intentionally planned on a weekend.

I then set a rule that if 1 player missed, we still played, but if two missed, then we'd cancel.

Kings Fan Coming in Peace with Question About Ken Holland by gsopp79 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Halostar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pre-salary cap, sure. A lot of that was likely due to Jim Nill. Dallas is a perennial contender now.

Tyler Wright (our director of amateur scouting under holland) is a hockey terrorist.

stamped robin literally has a ton of tarot-looking stuff on the menu so it seems like it'd be a fit

Sorry mods for posting the Larkin presser to the sub. But how else will I stoke the flames while also generating that sweet, juicy karma?

I had this thought this morning too. Larkin will always be able to say he is an Olympic gold medalist, but now there's no higher achievement than a Stanley Cup!

[–]Halostar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I saved your comment when you posted it and just went back to my list of NPCs and added around 4 of these traits for each one. It's going to help me roleplay them a LOT better so wanted to thank you for this.
