I think we only end up with one. I’d really like to see a second come back in the PLD trade for this year, just not sure that’s realistic.
Anyone planning to take Wednesday or Thursday off work to watch the draft, TV coverage, etc?
The drinking starts at 9 AM ET.It starts at 7 PM ET.

My theory is we tried to call in the Dubois trade already but Bettman wanted to say "I have a traaaaade to annouuuunce!" on the draft floorAnother day. Nothing to report.
Are we going to see trades on the draft floor?
Or is nothing ever going to happen?
I would think he's trying to move 3 major and very expensive pieces, in very complicated trade scenarios. If he blows it, and gets beat on these trades, it could cost him his job, although Chipman is likely in on all of them, and has to give the ok. I can't think of a time when Chevy was under this much pressure.Saw Chevy at cityplace food court yesterday. Dude looked HAGGERED. Was walking with a noticeable limp in shorts, and a scruffy collared shirt. Hair disheveled. Looked like he had not slept well in some time. Sorry, rando thought, but yeah he getting old, etc.
100%. People forget they tried to trade him last year for the same reason (reset culture), and when they couldn't, they went with the alternative and stripped him of his C, hoping it would diminish his influence over the room. Now with only one year left on his deal, they are comfortable buying him out if that's what it takes.I don't think Blake is a big of a problem as some think but to truly reset the culture, yeah he needs to go, sounds like they know this
I'm not they don't want to move anybody unless they have no other choice. My money is on them back trying to convince these guys to sign.Surprised only 1. But the trade market ended up sucking.
