Compete Level

Wow The Acorn reunited

David Perron: C- They reacquired Perron to add some veteran experience and scoring to the bottom six, and the latter didn’t quite come through. Three goals, no assists in sixteen games is almost the same as Dominik Shine’s stat sheet, but Shine’s a career AHLer and Perron is a wily vet. He’s a littl...

J. T. Compher: C A slight downturn in production from last year (32 points down to 28), with less responsibility for much of the year aside from when Larkin and Copp were out. Overpaid for a bottom-six player, but I’m not expecting more at this point. He centered a hodge-podge of wingers and scored ...

Forward grades Alex DeBrincat: A He had 41 goals and 84 points, even with some of the expected streakiness of a goal-scorer. He plays harder on defense than people give him credit for, and scores at big times. He was clearly the Wings’ best forward this year. Lucas Raymond: B It was obvious that Ray...

At this point I'm not willing to grade anybody, but barring a major trade, my guess for next year:

Finnie / Larkin / Raymond
DeBrincat / Copp / Kane
MBN / Kasper / Danielson
Appleton / Compher / Rasmussen
Mazur

I don't think JVR or Perron return. I'd be happy if Appleton and/or Rasmussen didn't.

8-1

Panthers get goals from Vinnie Hinostroza, Luke Kunin (x2), AJ Greer, Mike Benning (x2), Cole Schwindt, and Cole Reinhardt. A real murderer's row!

I turned back to the Wings game after the Tigers won and within a minute, Florida gets a goal when a shot that’s going wide hits off a guy skating two feet to the other side

Faulk made it 5-1, good job

Is that cursed or

LOL Benning got another goal

Mike Benning just got his first career goal to make it 4-0

Wings must be half packed for the plane home

Noted fuckwit AJ Greer gets a wraparound goal

Go Tigers

Compher goes for a hook on a forecheck because the Panth D fell down

If it goes to 3-0 I’m switching to the Tigers

Kunin makes it 2-0 on a quick shot in front

Wings have been sleepy, I think they just want it to be over

Matthew Tkachuk healthy enough to play in this one now that Florida has retained their pick

Hamonic is in as the seventh D, Larkin is out

Would also like a Mazur goal

I decided to put the last Wings game on after getting back from a disappointing dinner out and the Panth is already up 1-0. I just want an MBN goal.

I’m not saying I like it either, Broons falling apart enough to get Hagens last year feels like enough of a gift

It's absolutely possible that they trade Larkin -- that would be the culture shift. Aside from the White House / Trump stuff (which suuuuucked but Hockey Players), he's a tough evaluation as the team's leader: when he's really clicking (which happens more consistently on the international / all-star...

I came up with the dumbest possible result for the draft lottery: Toronto is in line for the fifth pick, but Detroit’s pick moves up, giving St. Louis the 5th pick and Boston the 6th pick. I apologize in advance for this happening.
