    That’s the thing. It takes an offer sheet off of the table for Trouba. If he tells the Jets he won’t sign long term, someone will come in with a good offer to get his rights. Maybe he says he wants to test the market so teams won’t go nuts with offers, but if that one is off the table, I do question whether or not we could get his rights.

    I am assuming he would want to come to play for the Wings of course.

    Why is Yzerman parting ways with TB anyway?

    He wants to be closer to his family so he is splitting time between Detroit and TB currently.

    Did his daughter(s) grow up to be hot? I remember one year winning the cup and seeing one having some serious potential.

    EDM is about to be 8 points ahead of us in the standings. Stranger things have happened but I don’t see us finishing worse than 5th from the bottom.

    Kings are up 5-3 in the third. We should prob be back to second worst as long as we don’t win tonight.

    Kings won today, and moved up to 3rd worst. They have. 3 more games against the Ducks, who are 4th worst. Let’s hope for a lot of 3 point games between them.

    In fairness to RalfBully, I am pretty sure most of us were around Yzerman’s daughters age when the picture in question was taken. I mean I still think Topanga is hot in my mind. Doesn’t mean I am all turnt when I see a BMW rerun.

    My updated draft wish list:

    1. Hughes


    2. Kakko



    3. Zegras
    4. Cozens
    5. Podkolzin
    6. Krebs
    7. Dach
    8. Turcotte
    9. Byram
    10. Boldy

    The top two are obvious.

    Zegras might not stick at C, but I think he will. He’s the best playmaker in the draft not named Hughes. He and Zadina could be magic together.

    Cozens is safe. He will be good. His upside isn’t at the level of Zegras. That said, you can’t go wrong with him.

    Podkolzin is the second best winger in the draft.

    Krebs is the WHL Zegras.

    I don’t see much separation between Dach and Turcotte.

    Byram is the best D in this class but I wouldn’t touch him top 5.

    Boldy could be an elite two way forward.

    I imagine there’s some 22 yo UM senior who has slept with Lourdes and both Yzerman daughters. Maybe he even pulled Hailie Jade on a weekend visit to MSU too.

    Back to hockey talk, we realistically cannot finish worse than 7th in the league. Current probabilities:

    7th: .9%
    6th: 2.8%
    5th: 9.2%
    4th: 16.5%
    3rd: 26.3%
    2nd: 33.5%
    1st: 10.3%

    I’m not following this. If we are currently 2nd worst, the worst pick we can end up with is 5th.

    Those aren't lottery pick odds. Those are odds of where we finish in the standings.

    What if we win 12 of our last 17? We can finish better than 7th worst.

    Sure, it’s possible. It has no basis of reality though.

    Realistically, we won’t fall past fifth worst record.

    I can just picture them going on some run, and winning 5 of their last 6 games to fuck up their lottery chances.

    Apologies I shouldn't have said officially. Realistically. We currently have .0000000533% chance of finishing as high as 13th (making the playoffs in the process). Once you get past 7th the chances just become so miniscule.

    I can’t. They will win a few coming up, but their schedule is brutal.

    Howard is back to being inconsistent and the bottom six just isn’t producing. Plus, the D is bad. Real bad.

    I love Hronek but he’s a sieve defensively right now. He will get better but the other five are what they are.

    I cant see us catching (or falling below) Ottawa. They would need to go on a heck of a run. Think 2 is best case and hope we win the lottery.

    Mike Green is out 7-10 days after the virus that was attacking his liver back in the fall reactivated. That .. doesn’t seem ideal.
