Yup, continue to draw attention to how embarrassing of an organization you guys are...

That last question, the answer was yes and he was quite confident.

More winger dumps.

^ Including today Chicago has 10 second round picks through 2026, plus 4 first rounders. Plus 3 first rounders and 2 seconds last year. If their scouting & dev staff is even half good they are going to give that 2010 roster a good run for its money someday soon.

And they got all those first rounders without getting any for either Kane or Toews. That's just not fair.

wonderful so I can watch them win 2 or 3 more cups before the canucks can even make it out of the first round.

For futures … cant even get a 6th rounder

I thought Kostin was pretty good in last year's playoffs - Yzerman (the student) out-foxing the teacher (Holland).

Why didn't Holland just pop a 2026 2nd rounder onto Yamamoto and keep Kostin? He was a good fit there and wasn't going to break the bank.

If they need cap space that bad just do the inevitable and buy out Campbell.

I really don't want to see Erik Karlsson in an Oilers uniform - I like Karlsson and I don't want that to change lol

unless San Jose eat 50% of that contract I just cant see how they do it even with the cap room they have. It doesn't matter anyway if he goes with that goaltending. but you have to think they have to go all in in McDavid/Draisaitl years. i kind of hope they follow Las Vegas and trade ever prospect and pick they can and max out the cap and then fall flat on the ice. every year

Agreed. I'd love to have Kostin among my bottom six forwards. Good player.

And yet to me that's really the only destination that makes sense for him among the teams that keep getting rumoured.

Assuming Bouchard goes back that's one less RFA to re-sign, add Ceci and Kulak and they're pretty comfortable if SJ is willing to eat his contract down to $8 mil.

Bouchard does have some value, that plus a first and a second and you probably have a trade.

At least the Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson trade was 1-for-1, this is 2-for-Zero

Hawks getting all these vets to teach the kids the right way to play...
