<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I was actually excited to see this team possibly take a step back this year. This draft is loaded with some really good, big centres.</div></div>

Gavin McKenna in 2026 ... can’t keep sucking forever , we need to take a step ahead but yzermans had a lousy off season and other teams including the caps who just beat us for a spot got severely better than last season . Devils added a goalie , so did the sens I don’t know how anyone who’s not a homer could say this team got better than last year . Only way it happens is if kasper danielson etc.. play and play better than anyone can imagine

At this rate they’ll be in g.r ... anyways doesn’t matter who you had in mind in 2025 draft we can win the lottery and pass on James hagens cause he’s not good enough 2 way player

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>Then in my opinion, the trade wouldn't happen. You mention a cheap 3rd pairing defenseman. Kovacevic isn't that, he's better than it seems because he was on a difficult team to play on. Defensively he's better than most of our guys at this stage. To get him, you'd have to attach more like that 3rd pick.

Veleno isn't a one to one for him since he has not shown enough growth in his play. Barron is more likely since he'll be a project for under a million for 2 to 3 years. If they can get his defense up in Detroit, he's going to be a top 4. If not, he'll stay a bottom 2 but play on the powerplays.</div></div>

Cheap as in $ . He’s making less than 800k. Ya I got zero interest in Barron. With pelikka in the pipeline he’ll never be a top 4 guy or get ppl time .. ya wouldn’t work out between us then

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>I don't hate the MTL trade, but I'd do Barron instead of Kovacevic.


It would seem to be more on par for a one to one trade. Barron is a bit less than half in NHL games, and has half his points total. They both are in development phases and their potential is good but Barron is 2 yrs younger and Defensemen tend to take an extra year or two to fully mature in terms of play. Both late 1st round picks and both RFAs.

Kovacevic is more advanced in his role inside a team, he goes well in MTL on the second or third pairing, so if he goes for Veleno I think Detroit would need to add a 3rd round pick. I don't hate Veleno, but two full years and he barely cracked 28 pts last year and is consistently in the minuses and at 24yr old is still having lots of issues in his play.

I don't hate the trade, just more bias in terms of who should be dealt to Detroit for him.</div></div>

Personally would be interested in kovacevic more as we need to get better defensively on the back end and he’d be a ufa after a year anyways and veleno wouldn’t. Wouldn’t attach a 3rd and would just test free agency for a cheap 3rd pairing dman

Thread: Because nothing yzermans done has made sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>I think Yzerman got that 2nd just to dump Walman, so it would probably be Gibson + a 7th instead of having just the other guy.

I guess we'll see. When does CF go dark?</div></div>

Doesn’t matter he got a 2nd shouldn’t just give it away . At the end of the day walman and his contract being only 2 years at a reasonable cap hit shouldn’t have needed a 2nd attached. The fact a lot of gm’s didn’t know walman was available makes it even worse ... all it takes is one gm to say ok I’ll give you a 7th for walman

It’s a fail of a trade .. now if I’m the sharks I make walman available at 1.7 hit next deadline and get another 2nd back and a 4th or whatever it is they can get

Gibson walman for kiskinen ,2nd,7th and 3.4 cap space could have easily happened imo . Anyways

Sadly I think like July 5th
