Solid RHD depth. That's what we have been lacking. Behind Klingberg our best options in latest years have been Stephen Johns and Roman Polak.

Plus I like both players.

There's no such thing as too stacked if it fits under your cap.

Shift Heiskanen to his good side and have a 1-2 punch of Klingberg and Jones.

Or under your LTIR

Tampa 👀

Heiskanen is LD?

I definitely think we could have gotten more value if the team went for futures. They were just so eager for a plus-sized right winger that they opted for a hockey trade.

To add here, are we to understand that the Detroit fan base is the most out of touch with reality here?

Seriously getting Yzerman there have got their hopes up to the point they don't even recognize being out of it anymore.

DD

Yes

I have a feeling Lou is going to do something incredibly stupid at the expansion draft

You took the words out of my mouth. Everyone is saying the Leafs is the worst fanbase on here, but the Wings fans are so ****ing annoying.

Yeah, actually he’s a mix of both. The only reason he’s playing right is because behind Klingberg there’s a guy named Cecconi and one named Barteaux. He’s way more comfortable at LD because he’s left handed plus he’s played there all of his junior career.

Definitely would be a fun pair compared to Hesikanen - Klingberg stylistically they don’t match.

A workhorse and d in Jones for Hesikanens own Methot (Methot - Karlsson). Idk I feel like Dallas needs returning assets tho.. hard to judge

90% of them require a complete over pay for the trade to be fair for the Wings

They think they know Yzerman's thoughts more than Yzerman himself

Well you do know Yzerman uses the peanut gallery solely for his decisions unlike us other fans

In one of my posts, I traded Allen to the Red Wings for a 3rd round pick in 2022-23. Their fans told me: "Yzerman won't be giving up picks for a goalie in 2023". That's when I knew it was too far gone.

If Dallas were to acquire Jones, I’d rather it be Lindell+ (Or maybe Lindell++ if the price isn’t too bad) than any conversation surrounding Klingberg. Then sign McCabe and the D looks like:

Heiskanen-Jones
McCabe-Klingberg

Its getting to that point where Detroit is taking over next to Pittsburgh. God some Pittsburgh fans think Hextall and Burke will lead them to the promise land. I just cannot see it as Burke's track record so far has been awful. Only good thing he did was the Sedins

That's why I try to stay off the ACGM part unless I see someone I know post from time to time

Forums is more relaxing and less stressful

100% agree, I’m really less on the AC-GM feature these days. These guys on here are the guys I want to have conversations with because they’re cool, calm and collective unlike those on AC-GM who try to insult all of your family trees existence just because you said that your team isn’t interested in the most lopsided deal ever, and some of them literally have no common sense.

The most obscure section is definitely the Trade Machine lmao

That feature is only made so if you had a bad day, you can have a couple of laughs.

I saw a funny post on twitter where someone said they wish Seattle would take Dermott so Toronto would be stuck with Kerfoot and McCann's cap hits and acted as if that could be bad for us. That would be the best possible situation for Dubas lul as Dermott is easily replaceable and Toronto does not lose any forward depth

There was also a post where someone went "It was decided when they signed Hakstol who they were taking. That was the deal, Leafs let them talk to Hakstol if they told Leafs who they were taking". <-- Now this could actually be realistic

In general Francis may just take someone nobody was expecting and All 3 could still be Leafs. Wednesday will let us all know whose taken

Totally, haven’t looked at ACGM since @BuFfaLoFaN created the regular season forum thread back in January. Everybody on ACGM collectively shares one brain cell. I just post when I have a fun idea like an All-West team or something like that. Everybody on these threads has civilized debates that incorporate actual critical thinking and that’s why I’m on a site like this. To talk hockey and debate with people who actually understand what they’re talking about

Some teams interested in Vladimir Tarasenko have reached out to Seattle about selecting him in the Expansion Draft and flipping him to their club. If the right offer presents itself, Kraken may be willing to retain a portion of his contract.
