I thought the DeBrincat / Larkin / Raymond line played well last season (much better than when DBC was with Kane I feel like all he does is want to pass to Kane), I couldn't figure out a free site with season long line stats but I did see in their last game DeBrincat / Larkin / Raymond was by far their best line in that game. I also don't mind Tarasenko on his off wing for one timers from Kane either. I don't think the handedness is that big of a deal but that's just me.

I think he still has a chance but it is definitely slimmer now.

Oh jeez I just straight up forgot about him (or I guess scratched him in the press box lol)

I don't hate it! I was thinking: DeBrincat - Larkin - Raymond Tarasenko - Compher - Kane Rasmussen - Copp - Danielson Motte - Veleno - Fischer I like DeBrincat away from Kane at 5 on 5. Though my second line I have to feel for poor Compher he isn't getting much help defensively there. Danielson can be swapped with a Mazur or Kasper potentially for me, I just feel like he's going to make the team for some reason. It does feel like they could sign another forward, but who is left looks pretty grim.

Looking at his stats it seems like he'll just be an ECHL body but goalies are weird so you never know. He's tall at least! I am getting anxious for the Seider and Raymond contracts here....

A couple of interesting moves, I had felt like Fabbri was a bit redundant on this roster. Hopefully Tarasenko can be a ~50 point player over that contract, not too bad of a cap hit.

Some random dude with 1000 followers on Twitter has to know more than a NHL front office! I'd love to know how much hockey he actually watched these players play since it looks like he just grabbed rankings from somewhere and his "model" just compares that to where people were drafted. I'm really over these "analytics" stat cards these days honestly.

Talked to my buddy who’s a Canucks fan and he said motte plays like every game is a playoff game. Wings need that energy for real.

I kinda dig this Motte signing, getting more defense from their forwards would be nice

Cleary and Kronwall on the ice too, great to see Pavel back

After letting everything settle and reading up on guys, I'm very excited by their first two picks. I think MBN's style of play is going to be a great addition to the Wings and Plante seems like a wildcard being called the best passer in the draft.

Shocked the cap hit is that low with all the rumors we've seen, maybe they were wrong with the ~$5 million projection or maybe he gave the Canes a discount because he wants a cup? Still okay moving on from him personally.

Ya I would prefer Husso be moved but Lyon is on a cheap 1 year deal and has played way better than Husso so I wouldn't be shocked if it was Lyon.

Well Campbell's deal can be buried in the AHL and it doesn't look like they have a backup for Cossa yet so there it is

Well I have no idea what they're doing with the goalie situation now. One of Lyon and Husso (or both?) headed out?

Another person I have no clue about

Hopefully that means no Goestisbehere...

Yzerman said he doesn't want to carry 3 goalies again so it should be interesting to see what happens

Well there is the goalie partner for Lyon. I actually am a big fan of Talbot, my best friend is a hockey writer and I get to hear stories about how his interviews go, etc. Talbot was apparently really cool to him and cognizant about my friend's time.....which usually no one really is. So I'm rooting for him, had some solid stretches last year too.

They might be waiting for Trouba to make up his mind to see how much space they have? Some of these deals are wild so I don't mind them sitting them out for now....

Legit no clue who this guy is

Ya I liked him around the team but woof that contract. Which is interesting because I thought they traded Chychrun for not much so they would have cap space to sign Pinto.

I guess Washington really wants Ovechkin to break Gretzky's record
