The California teams are the NHL versions of retirement homes, it's nice to think of a prairie kid waiving to go on one last run with the Jets but in reality it isn't happening, sorry to be a negative Ned but I don't see it happening.

Totally agree about trading 1sts, it's such a bad move for a team based in Winnipeg and really it's your best of odds of getting a legitimate NHL player, anything after the 1st round I'm fine with trading but 1sts should be treated like gold by Chevy, still can't believe he's traded two already.

Thread: New power play setup
I personally believe Ehlers should be on the 1st PP unit. Our power play struggled even to get set up last year, and then struggled to move the puck with purpose and often was stationary. I would love to see Ehlers run the halfwall but I know POMO will never do that. However Ehlers was easily the best on our team in both of those aspects last year. Something like:
Ehlers (PP quarterback)- Scheifele (bumper guy)- Wheeler (Net driver/down low presence/quarterback 2)
Laine(No change, but hopefully more movement from him)-Morrissey (I feel like JMO's skating ability and left hand shot could open more seams, especially to Patty)
I believe that it is very important to take some of the pressure off of Wheeler on the power play so he can focus more on being a factor at 5V5 as he ages.

Which would leave the second unit to be
Connor(down low option)-Statsny(bumper guy)-Rosy ( puck distributor, could be some good exchanges in position between him and Statsny)
Heinola(super efficient passer)-Pionk(solid at getting pucks through)

Thread: Salary Cap Moves w Tampa Bay Lightning
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadlyAnOilFan</b></div><div>Just a thought. There are only a few teams in the league who could take on Cap, and there are even fewer who can actually afford to spend more (maybe only 1 or 2). If you’re those two teams, you can ask whatever you want if you know that Tampa has to pay the price to sign their guys and get under the cap. Could Detroit ask for 3 firsts?</div></div>

Yzerman is likely sitting back and waiting. He likely has a trade he's willing to make. But if it doesn't match up with what he wants then he'll just say he's not interested. He could make a trade but he doesn't have to make a trade. Detroit is one of only a few teams who can take cap dumps. Getting players to waive NTC's is another story.
