No, I said they are a better team today than they were yesterday morning, not 2 weeks ago. But I don’t think losing Gaudreau is enough to push them into full rebuild ..yet. Maybe they will go after Kadri now. Quote

They still have some talent even though I don’t expect Mangiapane or Lindholm to put up anywhere near what they did last year. I don’t see Kadri choosing to play for Darryl Sutter. Quote

Maybe they will go after Kadri now. here's one thing about that trade: it will make the flames' position really weird come trade deadline next year. they should have enough to be in a prime spot to make the playoffs next year, but its already clear huberdeau doesnt want to sign there. so they're going to be right back next year where they were last year: superstar players who wont re-sign. do you ride it out with huberdeau next year and try to make a run and let hin walk? or deal him at the deadline for futures even though youre in the hunt? i think they'll keep him and end up giving up tkachuk for only a late first rounder from florida in 2 years. its a tough call if youre a team like calgary.

Shinzaki Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole... Re the trade...maybe Husker Du and Weezer will see enough of a drop off moving to Calgary that we can sign one or both of them cheap when they hit FA Quote

Or they don't think Edvinsson is ready for the NHL at least to start the season? Wallman won't be back for a while maybe? More depth either way.

Jason_R Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Am I the only one who didn’t know the defenseman we just signed had a torn Achilles? Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Just now, Jason_R said: Am I the only one who didn’t know the defenseman we just signed had a torn Achilles? No idea either. Must be why we've signed so much defensive depth. Quote
lordstanley Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Great, another Chris Illtich signing gets injured. Quote

slothfacekilla Posted July 26, 2022 Author Posted July 26, 2022 Apparently the rumor is that the Sabres (who picked directly behind the Wings) wanted Kasper badly and tried to trade, it is being reported out of Austria (Kasper's home country) that they tried to trade for Kasper but the Wings wanted to keep him. https://themalikreport.com/2022/07/26/roughly-translated-the-buffalo-sabres-wanted-marco-kasper-at-9th-overall-but-detroit-got-their-man-with-pick-8/ 1 Quote
slothfacekilla Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 It sucks this dude got hurt but this is a big opportunity for a couple Wings' prospects: Quote

slothfacekilla Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 Bobby tweeted this morning about it and his mindset seems very positive for the relapse. He seems like a good guy, I hope he finds the strength to keep moving forward on his recovery journey. 2 Quote
oblong Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 It's a pretty good bet that we all know someone going through the same struggles. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Apparently Klingberg fired his agent and is hiring a new one. That tells me they overplayed their hand and overestimated his value on the market. it also seems to suggest that Klingberg wanted a massive pay day this year, well beyond what teams thought he was worth, given the team-friendly contract he had been on with Dallas. Maybe it's best the Wings didn't bite on signing him and patience proved its worth. Quote

buddha Posted July 29, 2022 Posted July 29, 2022 klingberg seems like a little better nick leddy. and he's declining. and terrible on defense. seems like a lot of money to pay for an aging power play specialist. Quote
