So are you saying Petry might actually die?

Don’t worry guys. We’re picking 15th.

How did they reach that conclusion? He's 20 years old. Datsyuk didn't arrive until he was 23. Buchelnikov was about .5 points per game last season in the KHL. Maybe the expectation is that he'll play a bigger role, score more points, and go directly from the KHL to the NHL. Datsyuk was a 6th round ...

That winning goal by Pasternak was a gem. As he was skating up the ice, he pointed to where he wanted the puck and Wotherspoon obliged.

To give Yzerman credit, Kasper and Danielson don't have to force Copp and Compher out of the lineup. They can move them to the wing. Neither Compher or Copp have been fulltime centers in the league. I think Kasper probably starts his NHL career on the wing anyway and might just end up staying there.

With Tampa in cap hell and no good draft picks this year, I wonder if the Wings could trade them Copp (1/2 salary), Berggren and a 3rd for Cerelli? That would help to sign Stammer, Copp could be the 3 C, Stammer back at C on the 2nd line, Berggren a cheap goal scorer and Cerelli the long needed 2C ...

Now we know! Washington, the team that we needed to beat only once in the final stretch and couldn't, is the first team out being swept. I'm almost thinking it's probably good that the Wings didn't make the Playoffs. More fire under everyone's butts ( including Yzerman's ) and a higher pick in this...

Dallas looks to have drafted well recently. All these great young players focal points of a playoff run. Nill is doing a pretty damn good job there overall. They are a deep team, built well for the playoffs. I think Dallas, Colorado & Edmonton all have looked impressive. The only team in the Ea...
