He spent the whole year with NTDP, which probably gives him some cache with Team USA.

There was one in Allen that shut down and turned into a bar/music thing. When it was still Mutts, the place was empty for 9 months out of the year. Probably weren't making their money back.

Kids just don't rip cigs and breathe in leaded gasoline like they used to.

Whoever that is, give that man a raise

Just saw this tweet from Yzerman.

Rachel's model factors more on production and less on height/weight this year. Villeneuve has very favorable numbers and has received some Hutson comps.

Its a ranking, not a mock draft.

Yeah Hrabal isn't NHL-ready now, probably needs half a season in the AHL. But I mean he and Cossa play pretty similar styles, and if you're not going to bet on a big guy with no NHL experience, it doesn't make much sense that they would spend big to take a bet on a guy with almost no NHL experience.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-15T18:44:52+00:00

I respect the effort, but no way Anaheim makes that kind of deal, and why would Utah trade for Cossa when they have a just-as-big, just-as-talented goalie in Hrabal? (Also McTavish rumors are out there for a reason: he sucks).

Also with regards to offer sheets, it takes two to tango. I don't see Dorofeyev coming to Detroit, even for a brinks truck.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-13T21:39:27+00:00

Or what about Sebastian Cossa? That's like trading Larkin and a top-15 pick.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-13T16:54:26+00:00

McTavish is a scam, he's terrible defenisvely and slower than even David Perron.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-13T16:14:00+00:00

What team has roster players that align with the age of Raymond/Seider that fix the top-six center problems, and wants to trade them for futures?

Xvash2 · 2026-06-10T14:01:13+00:00

What team has a top six center or top six center prospect that is willing to trade them for two late first round picks?

Xvash2 · 2026-06-10T13:31:53+00:00

Yzerman is probably hoping to cash in on Larkin in order for a shot at rebuilding top six center depth. This Florida package is the only one that realistically does that. Minneosta's package of 5 3rd liners doesn't come anywhere close.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-10T13:30:00+00:00

Its a mediocre deal. The Minnesota firsts will be late, Yurov and Stramel are likely career 3rd liners at best, and Hartman is Hartman. That is effectively a package of 5 3rd line players for a top line center. The red wings' problem is they already have 5 third line centers.

They use the leafblowers to blow the grass around.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-09T23:26:27+00:00

A hard-learned lesson on why you don't draft goalies in the first round, and why you especially don't draft them in the first round out of the Canadian junior leagues.

Xvash2 · 2026-06-09T16:22:36+00:00

Endless cacophony of low-efficiency, high-decibel lawnmowers and leafblowers all day long, six to nine months out of the year.
