lordstanley Posted Friday at 07:36 PM Author Posted Friday at 07:36 PM Back to the Mrazek cap hit. Signed for one more year on a $4.5mm cap hit. I’d have preferred he be on an expiring contract. Quote
Shinzaki Posted Friday at 07:40 PM Posted Friday at 07:40 PM Hope they move Talbot...otherwise we go into 2025/26 with almost 7 mil tied up in two "meh" goalies and no room for Cossa to play in Detroit Quote
buddha Posted Friday at 07:45 PM Posted Friday at 07:45 PM so we moved husso and used his money to trade for mrazek. Quote
buddha Posted Friday at 07:47 PM Posted Friday at 07:47 PM i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i'm pretty sure cossa was spending most of 2026 in grand rapids regardless of whether they traded for another goalie or not. and mrazek will have more value next year at the deadline when we once again sell.

buddha Posted Friday at 07:52 PM Posted Friday at 07:52 PM so we traded a young(ish) 4th line center for an old 4th line center and a goalie. this trade doesnt really make a lot of sense to me except that they wanted a veteran goalie to spell lyon/talbot. veleno is nothing, btw. just younger than smith.

buddha Posted Friday at 07:53 PM Posted Friday at 07:53 PM remember how excited we werr to get zadina and veleno? another reminder how monumentally bad late period kenny holland was as a drafter and general manager. Quote
lordstanley Posted Friday at 07:55 PM Author Posted Friday at 07:55 PM I have to think Mittelstadt was available for a reasonable price, given what Boston gave up. Coyle is old and Avs gave up Mittelstadt AND a 2nd rounder. Quote

And Berggren (#33 overall) and McIsaac (#36 overall) in that same draft. Felt like we had walked off with four 1st rounders. I think I described it that evening as a "potentially franchise-defining draft". Hey, I guess in a way it was, just exactly opposite to how I had hoped. Quote
1984Echoes Posted Friday at 07:59 PM Posted Friday at 07:59 PM Great. But he's still a band aid. Quote

buddha Posted Friday at 08:04 PM Posted Friday at 08:04 PM they still might have one coming too. they have a lot of goalies under contract. Quote

lordstanley Posted Friday at 08:46 PM Author Posted Friday at 08:46 PM (edited) Brandon Carlo from the Bruins to the Leafs. Carlo is a tough defenseman who could have helped the Wings. But ahh, just realized Leafs gave up a 1st, that’s quite a bit. Edited Friday at 08:50 PM by lordstanley Quote
Shinzaki Posted Friday at 08:49 PM Posted Friday at 08:49 PM I'll take Smith over Veleno as his contract is up. Not OK with getting Mrazek Quote
1984Echoes Posted Friday at 08:58 PM Posted Friday at 08:58 PM Alex Lyon is a UFA so it's a wash... This trade is just to get the team through this season... that's it. Petry is also a UFA this offseason so I'll take that as a HUGE PLUS... Quote

Unfortunately, Mrazek is signed through next year with a $4.25 cap hit. Talbot is signed for $2.5. Takes up a potential spot for Cossa next year too. Making matters worse they just said on 97.1 that Mrazek has been statistically the worst goalie in the league since Decemeber . Thats not confirmed though.

I think the Wings could have got Thatcher Demko from the Canucks for a 2nd and a middling prospect. Edited Friday at 09:10 PM by lordstanley Quote
Hongbit Posted Friday at 09:12 PM Posted Friday at 09:12 PM I’m surprised none of the playoff contenders were interested in Patrick Kane. Quote
