Niether really... both will probably bust and be nothing. Robertson is probably better today.

I'd bet Fabbri could have a 50 point season in Anaheim next year but then he'd have to not get hurt which is about as likely as me not slapping an Oiler fan with pizza.

The Wings paid a 2nd to get rid of Walman so they could pay Tarasenko and their 3 headed monster in net?? Living amongst Wings fans is still going to be hilarious, they were getting really hopeful last year

Regarding 3C, what's your idea with how to handle the cap after adding a 3C to push Colton to wing? Are you just spending some of the Landeskog/Nichushkin cap and then dealing with the cap fallout in November?
Agree on Kylington. Whilst hes stylistically more of the same as the Avs already have, it probably wouldn't hurt to add depth and push DeHaan etc down a spot in the depth chart.

The Yzerplan seems... not good. They desperately need Kasper or Danielsson to become impact C's or move for a high end one or else I don't see them getting out this fringe playoff team area that they're in.

Meh. It's only bad because nobody picked Vasilevskiy before they did. If they pick Jankowski instead, this is never mentioned.Is this bad?
I get what he's doing and in theory it's not a bad plan, but you need a star to build around. Trying to shift to a competitive team and building a winning culture is about a year or two premature imo, and it'll probably result in them being in no mans land.

That Red Wings team looks like they're headed back to full rebuild in a couple of years.
Stupidity.

He was trades for a pick. Pick was worth something not so good on average.
Exactly how I see it. They are signing these vets few years too early

I mean I just hate his free agent signings for the most part. Just seems like everything is a being done to make them a good team instead of going for more. Like the roster for the most part is fine and has potential everywhere except C. Just seems like they’re wasting some years by bringing in decent players everywhere but C to give Larkin some help.
I honestly don't think it's bad, again IF they had another ~2-3 prospects like Michkov/Smith/Demidov/etc. who have star potential.
The issue is they don't have that level of talent. They have Danielson, Kasper, Edvinsson, etc. who are all decent prospects and may become a core player, but they don't have a star. If they were a little bit worse they would've had Michkov/Smith and Parekh/Catton/Buium/etc. - players that have potential to be stars.
But what i'm saying is moot because you're right, what he's doing is simply making them a good team.

If the Avs had received that pick they would’ve just picked Heard 22 picks earlier

Not sure if MacFarland's presser was posted or not. Talks about the signings, Landeskog (nothing new), Val (nothing new), etc.
He also lost the glasses and put on a hat because he's sick and tired of the nerd comments here.

One of my favourite all-time Avs.
Every shift was can’t miss hockey. Played the game hard.

Detroit will make the playoffs as a wildcard next year and get bounced 1st round in 5 games, and it'll be hailed a success.

We have to wonder if it was really Yzerman who was making the decisions when they were building the team in Tampa. He makes every mistake in the book.
