harden is due for one of those games where he goes off and gets 40+.

playoff james harden has made an appearance!

if you had the best player in the league, would you trade him for some prospects ranked in the 50s? probably not.

the only deal for mcdavid we could make would start with seider. edmonton is not dealing him to detroit for all the reasons stated above. edmonton wants to win a cup next year, i dont think theyre dealing their core for prospects. maybe darnell nurse if you want to part with edvinsson. they might deal ike howard, but likely for an established goalie. and then mcdavid will leave for san jose or anaheim or toronto.

Athletic article makes no mention of detroit. ranks gustavsson, makenzie blackwood, and jordan binnington as trade targets.

good.

who would he be an upgrade on and how would we know? he hasnt played in the nhl. if a team is in desperate need of a goalie for next year, they probably go the free agent route. a team could also try to pry hellebuyck from winnipeg since he seems quite unhappy. if anything, i think we overrate cossa here, like we do most wings' prospects. were fans. we want to believe.

i swaer i heard he is not exempt.

once again, success in sweden doesnt translate to the smaller ice/more physical north american game. a year in GR would do ASP good. time to bulk up a bit.

if they dealt a goalie, i imagine its as part of a package for ep40 or some other established nhl player. i dont think the wings would deal cossa for prospects.

if someone wants to pay duren north of $30m, let them. of course, we all know were going to pay duren. were just fooling ourselves.

if harden is on harris, there will be a mouse in the house.

Jaylen Brown calling someone else out for flopping is pretty hilarious.

you realize you are talking about the executives who put together the josh smith/greg monroe/andre drummond and james wisemam/marvin bagley iii front lines?

you never know what the future holds, which is why it would have been nice to make some big signings LAST YEAR OR AT THE TRADE DEADLINE...
