The fact that Krueger is still somehow the coach, even after it is blatantly clear he's lost the locker room is somehow the least baffling part of it. I mean Hronek has more points than Dahlin. I know that such a comparison is based on a small sample size, but honestly I could argue that Hronek has outplayed Dahlin this year, as shocking as that might sound. If you had told me that Dahlin would have regressed this much since the 2018 I would have laughed in your face. But here we are...
What would it take to bring that bust to Red Wings, Mantha +Hronek?
Well the Caps are on fire right now, 9-1 in the last 10. They got Kuz back, though they're missing Wilson and Eller.

Crap, you're right. NHL.com usually updates soon after the game so I didn't even check.

Done. I would even throw in this years 1st. That would be like the Drouin for Sergachev deal on steroids. We win that trade 99 times out of 100. I highly, highly doubt Dahlin is moved, but he's exactly the kind of young talent we should be poaching from other franchises: someone with immense potential but has had their value crater due to bad circumstances.
The only time I remember Buffalo being good was back in 05/06 when Afinogenov was on the cover of Hockey News and they also had Drury and Briere. I think Buffalo is seeing how hard it is to get rid of a losing culture right now. They have decent enough talent right now and they're still awful. Hopefully Detroit's rebuild goes a little smoother.
