Has Carle said he’s leaving Denver?

He hasn’t said anything but I know teams are interested

Former Wings assistant Dan Bylsma got canned after a year in Seattle

I could see Carle going there, seems like a place that would give him a long leash

On The Athletic Hockey Podcast they talked about the possibility of old friend Jeff Blashill getting a second shot at one of these places. I'd choose one with an NHL roster, personally

Lou Lam canned

I pity the next GM, imagine walking in there wanting to put your stamp on a team that has Engvall and Mayfield locked up for five more years apiece

Alexander Nikishin’s agent said that the Canes management is acting “incomprehensibly.” More evidence that Dundon is a terrible, over-involved owner.

I wonder if Yzerman could get him for the 12th pick.

Apparently Nikishin signed his two year ELC a couple weeks ago

I don’t know what’s going on

Some Canes fan on HF said he wouldn’t do a Nikishin for Pastrnak deal

PNES canned Sullivan

Lots of openings

Carle won’t go to Chicago. Hard to see Pittsburgh being a better option. Although I’m sure they’ll win a couple of lotteries to speed up the rebuild.

Pens rolling a nat 20 and winning this would obviously be infuriating but worst outcome is... Bruins? Hawks?

Outcomes ranked:

11. Chicago
10. PNES
9. Rangers
8. Broons
7. Sabres
6. Islanders
5. Flyers
4. Ducks
3. Shreds
2. Kraken
1. Sharks

Wings can theoretically move up to 2, LOL, also LMAO

I started thinking about which of those teams would take Misa over Schaefer and it's probably 50/50

Like the PNES have no centers coming up whatsoever, but their best D prospect (Harrison Brunicke) is a second-pair guy at best, so it's not like they're much better off in that department. I can't say I'd envy Misa if he goes there and is anointed "the successor to Crosby." Good luck, kid.

There are a lot of center prospects in the top 10 this year and conceivably they could get Jake O'Brien or Roger McQueen if their pick stays where it is.

My hope is that teams reach for D and someone like Viktor Eklund drops to the Wings, although I've mostly heard about them getting (shocker) one of the more competitive, possibly bigger bodies like Nesbitt or Martin.

yzerman doubling down on his deadline inactivity

still love the guy though

He needs a big offseason. Needs a legit D and a top six winger.

Doesn’t sound like they’re planning on having him up to start. Yzerman mentioned that he hasn’t been as good in the last third of the season for GR.

I’ll put the over/under at 10. I don’t see Mrazek staying healthy in any case.
