I haven't seen the Kings this season but it is baffling how a team with Kopitar, Doughty, Quick and Carter can be at the bottom of the league.
As for the Blackhawks, f*** them.

Whooooooooo boooy how long can we hold on to this?!?
Looking at the schedule March is more difficult than February. Quick someone tally the likely points from here on out for us and the bottom teams and their opponents.

He'd definitely be a nice consolation prize, After Jack Hughes. That's for sure.

I see no reason not to believe that John Tavares intended on staying on the Island last off-season. I mean, he totally said he wanted to.
It is a winner take all game of negotiation. You never say what you actually mean when it comes to trade negotiations.
I mean, in a different but similar vein, look at the injury reports during the playoffs and then look what actually comes out about injuries once the playoffs are over.
People in professional sports lie. They tell half-truths or things that are true from a certain point of view.
Anyone *****ing that Holland won’t trade Nyquist is doing so out of reflex or out of blind hatred for the man. The most recent actions of the team over the last few years indicate that they will listen heavily on him.
And honestly, with what Nyquist is doing statistically this year, a 2nd and a B prospect is an awful return for him, even as a rental.

We're #1! We're #1!
But seriously, I expect this will motivate the guys and they'll push back to about #4 or #5.

John Tavares has nothing to do with Khan reporting on the Wings. As far as believing Nyquist won't get traded goes, I'm only going by what the article says and nothing else. And since I tend to believe what Khan reports, (like I said earlier, I have no reason to doubt him when it comes to front office reportings) that's what I will go by until otherwise proven wrong.

I feel like we are getting Hughes, Karlsson and Yzerman all this summer.

Forever Lost.
Hypothetically, we stay last and pick first overall.
Is Hughes the definite consensus #1?
Like McDavid, Dahlin, etc. Not saying he’s as good as them, but in terms of actual skill gap and talent. Is there an enormous difference between him and say Cozens, Dach, Kakko, Turcotte, etc? I haven’t watched any of them too much, I’ll be honest. Highlights only.
I don’t pay attention to the draft too much considering I’ve never witnessed the Wings pick anything in the top five for all of my life.
I still don’t expect 1OA

It's not unanimous, but the consensus seems overwhelmingly for Hughes at first pick. I think if you pick among the top few, you should get a good one next draft.
If you finish in 31st place, your odds of drafting in the top three is almost even with your odds of picking fourth. So, if the Wings finish in last, then most likely they'll pick fourth, because the lower you finish, the more likely you are to be leapfrogged three times. (Please direct all complaints to the office of Gary Bettman!)
As consultation, finishing last would also give them the best odds at picking first, second or third, which is good because it leaves us a little sliver of hope to hold onto.

All of you tank crowd, what if we lose the lottery, pick fifth and end up with another Zadina who will need 2-3 years to ripen up in Grand Rapids. How much longer are we going to suck then? Just asking for an honest prediction.

We need and should take a center.
Whatever center we draft this year plus Larkin will be a great 1-2 punch. Two potential PPG centers?
Yes please.

Come on guys, anyone who has watched Holland for the last 10 KNOWS there's no way he is ever trading Nyquist or Tatar.
