Larkin trade.
Edvinsson trade.
Gibson trade.

Attach Ras and Englund wherever it works.

Team fixed, undefeated the rest of the way.

(to be clear, I would love nothing more than for them to sign Ed but if they met in person and couldn't make it work, I'm afraid it's not in the cards. And if that's the case, get an absolute haul for him)

I'd forgotten that there's a Dec. 1 cutoff for RFAs signing if they want to be eligible to play this season, so in theory the Edvinsson situation won't drag on all season. It's hard to be optimistic about it right now, but I do think Utah is more likely to trade for Edvinsson than Larkin, and I think the Wings could get a haul if that's the case.

Seeing Edvinsson trade packages from, like, Toronto, is brutal: "Well we can't include Cowan so it's Danford two cap dumps and a 2nd"

Wings already have enough cap dumps of their own. That's probably why nothing has been done yet.

Yeah it’s not worse than the Michigan-born captain wanting a trade or the total mismanagement of a top pair defenseman, but the ideal of circling back to 2020 and being a dumping ground for another generation of Marc Staals is a gut punch.

Still, someone like Jack McBain would be an improvement over Sheldon Dries.

Very true.
Go(r)d(ie), I hope something happens soon.

Tarasov hurt.

I know we aren't allowed to have fun, but, ugh.

I’d assumed that if one of the guys was hurt, it was Gibson

Same here. I have kind of been impressed with Tarasov so far, but the bar is pretty low

[Soul Coughing voice] "Sasson is in the zone"

Good to see Danielson back in the lineup. 12/6 again, Compher's back. Would rather have ASP than Wallinder but whatever.

A little surprised that one wasn't challenged, but Raymond has his second now on the PP
