2026 UFA targets

I tend to disagree. He scored at a 68 point per 82 game clip the last 2 years. The team was basically carried by a great power play these last 2 years and he was a big part of that.

I get his complete and defensive play can be suspect. But overall he was a key offensive piece.

He is only helpful offensively. He is a hindrance everywhere else and also a bad example for the younger players who are told to play hard in both ends, when he doesn't. That was fine when he a prime player but he is no longer that. He was quite slow especially in the second half and that will continue, cause he 38 years old.

Availability is a skill. I'm not interested in a guy at the end of his career that will miss 15-20 games a year going forward. He can retire or go play for a contender, and his roster spot can go to a kid or other player that fits the timeline.

Tuch 8X10.5 with Washington. Not sure what pick Buffalo is getting, but it is said to be higher than what TB got for Raddysh.

Ah, yes…

My favorite summer activity - watching everyone else in our conference get better while we do nothing .

The master taught the padawan to kick tires.

Then the student became the teacher: "I see your pretend activity...and raise you operating in silence!"

We got them right where we want them. Once we've lured them into a false sense of security we will be perfectly positioned to further sabotage ourselves. Our rivals will never even see it coming.

4D chess indeed.

Cap skyrocketing is Yzerman's fault?

This is getting even better.

Never said it was his fault but it’s hurt the team for sure
