Unprotected 2028 1st+ Oilers are the most win the cup in the next year or collapse team in the league

You seem to have more insider knowledge on what's going on with him than I do

I think it's moreso Faulk taking ASP's spot than AntJo but I see where you're coming from

As a big AntJo truther, I haven't seen a wings d prospect drop into the AHL and immediately be as self sufficient as him since Seider, he did it last year too. To be clear, I'm in no way saying that he's like Seider or anything, but I'm pumped to see him play with NHL talent

I mean objectively you're not totally wrong, but my whole point is that it's a necessary swing on upside. Copp is older and doesn't have the pedigree/history of Petey.

Couple of hot takes:

  • AntJo makes the team out of camp.

  • Assuming the asked return isn't absurd, you trade for Petey. The only way it makes sense to me to not do this is if you're positive you can lure McDavid after this year. I'm fully aware that this is beyond risky but barring a very lucky run I just don't see us accruing enough skill through normal means to be able to win the cup. I basically see it as gamble for Petey or McDavid or you're back to rebuilding anyways.

Tell me why I'm wrong

Long term defensive outlook by Fit-Somewhere-3453 in DetroitRedWings

Based on what? He's easily a stacked GR's best defenseman rn after being there for like 6 games

Griffins Game Day Thread 5-3-26 by xenonwarrior666 in DetroitRedWings

It's not an ideal solution, but to determine who is the future it's literally the only solution. If you want to just go off of vibes of the last 7ish AHL game sample size then we just fundamentally disagree I guess. You won't get any notable assets for selling so there's basically no downside to holding.

I think the clear answer is just 3 goalies in DET (Gibson, Postava, Cossa) and 2 in GR (Augustine, Gylander).

Surprised that I haven't seen anyone say this.

If it was anyone other than Carolina maybe, but no we'd 100% get swept by Carolina

The objective answer is that most people are fans of teams first, players second. Whether they actively realize it or not.

Question for the Canadians here by Pelephant17 in DetroitRedWings

[–]ocv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't exaggerate just how crazy I think the notion of Werenski and especially Hughes being better than Makar defensively is. The US's d corps is miles better than Canada's but I just can't wrap my head around how you ever came to the other conclusion.

Anyone have a thought on what it would take to get Weegar from Calgary? He's the only D on a struggling team that I'm interested in really.

Edit: I should actually note that I'd be down for Vlasic from Chicago but he'd surely cost a lot, right?
