Thread: Major Shakeup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Riddick19</b></div><div>This is why you are an idiot!!! So the fact that McAvoy does other things other than score.... Makes him a solid defenseman but Brady EVERY YEAR is top 3 in shots on goals, hits....that doesn't really add much.... McAvoy/....what he does is different and need to take tghat into consideration for sure LMAO ..... Here.... Hughes, Fox, Makar, Pietrangelo, Ekblad, Carlson, Hedman, Sergachev, Josi, Heiskainen.... Just a fe4w names, just a few that are better defenseman than McAvoy.... LMAO

Like I said...typical Bruins fans lobbying McAvoy for the things that no one sees and tout him as a top 5 blueliner.... Tkachuk fights anyone, 100 PIM's every year, Point per game forward, and top 3 every year basically in shots and hits.... Yeah you're an idiot</div></div>

Bro did not really just say that Pietrangelo, Ekblad, Carlson, Sergachev, and 2024 Hedman are better than McAvoy

Thread: DRW 24-25 - Possible plan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>Wait for the two good prospects we have to develop and dont give up potentially valuable assets for a stop gap, pretty simple.

Ullmark doesn't make this team any better than it is. Their issues are in front of the net, not in it.</div></div>
Edvinsson, Al Johansson, Wallinder, Buium, Tuomisto, Sandin-Pellikka, Gibson, An Johansson, these are all pretty decent to really good d prospects that Detroit has - assets that can be used to improve the team, you can afford to sell on one. If you extend Ullmark to hold down the fort until/if Cossa or Augustine turn out good, I don't see how that's a stopgap, or is every signing a stopgap?

This team currently has a backup that got burned out towards the end of the season in Lyon and Husso that is a question mark if he's ever getting back to form again after getting rough injuries for a goalie. "Issues not in net", huh?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuzzledActuary</b></div><div>Im just talking about including Wallinder. The trade as is is totally fine but no reason to include a prospect like Wallinder for Ullmark, especially because you're gonna have to pay him $6M+ a year</div></div>

It takes two teams to make a deal. My assumption is the Red Wings cant continue with Husso/Lyon. There are enough teams that need goaltenders that this package probably gets passed on. My assumption is Cossa could become the backup while developing in the NHL

I believe the package would be Buium or Wallinder plus a second. Tuomisto’s time at Denver probably isn’t a positive here. I thought he was OK when I saw him last year. Probably would be third or fourth in Providence in terms of quality

Definitely…both players would be going home. Two of Hayes best games of the season were against the Bruins. I think he would really be motivated playing in Boston
