Compete Level

fair enough, i think i just haven't been reading enough comments to have any particularly strong preference among potential shitty trade partners

This is criminal.

If memory serves, the first half of the Wings’ schedule had way more back to backs and the second half featured more opponents on back to backs, but it turns out that only matters if you’re not playing like total dogshit.

For sure. but there has to be some better balance between one team getting 18 or 19 and other teams getting 5?!? It's crazy unbalanced (and of course the Habs benefit the most as they are ALSO on the lower end of playing their own back-to-backs.

Speaking of the Habs, they signed Kirby Dach to a one-year deal for 3.6, and every comment on The Athletic is "He just needs to stay healthy"

I feel like that's a fundamental misunderstanding of Dach's true nature

Sean Avery is in The Odyssey?

He was in Tenet and Oppenheimer?

Bedard signed 15m x 5

Robertson signs 1 year 12 mill

Feel like the dream of a three-way deal with the Wings is over
