I hadn't really bothered the past few seasons to deep delve into the draft / top 10 prospects and the like, mainly due to the fact of there being no chance or likelihood of us picking there. Had certainly heard of Gabe and was amazed when he fell far enough to draft.

Going into this season I expected the same pattern to follow on again and cannot believe I am asking this question. Should I now be starting to look into 2025s draft, or is Drury going to be trading away first rounders like Sather on acid in an attempt to save the season?

Dreary should give Mika ownership of a Colony Grill location if he agrees to waive his NMC go to Vancouver for JT. Mika and Petey can both smell their own farts together. Everybody wins.

We don’t know. Drury hasn’t aggressively moved firsts most of his career.
However it does depend on how big a leash Dolan gave him.
If we’re a lotto team and we move several big contracts with retention for next year (thus tanking that year too) if Drury doesn’t survive that, he won’t pull that trigger even if he should.

How many locations are there? Serious question

I feel like Mika has at least tried to play more serious hockey since Drury laid down the gauntlet. Kreider continues to sleep walk. If he is injured he should sit. If he's not injured though, I am no longer concerned with his legacy and he can leave.

Kreider is going to go the way of Gaborik and Gartner soon.
