The Out of Town Thread Part 46

[mariolemieux66]

Lafreniere will look good on Detroit. He will make Mantha a regular 30 goals scorer. The Redwings have big and skill forwards coming into the roster the next few years. Lafreniere, Veleno, Schvechnikov, Rasmussen, Hirose, Moritz, McIsaac and Cholowski. The goal for the Wings is to have Helm, Abdelkader and Nielsen's contract gone in 2 years to free up 12 millions look the UFA route for a good offensive defensemen and a good two-way forward. Goaltending will also have to be look at. With 6 picks in the first 3 rounds, the Rew Wings are planning to come out strong in 2023.

Lafreniere - Larkin - Mantha

Lafreniere - Larkin - Mantha

Good looking line right there. But you know, and I know, that Detroit has a whole hell of a lot of work to do even if they get the #1 pick. Ehhh, maybe I'm getting defiant, because I'm surrounded by Wings fans wherever I go.

Made a Lafreniere hype video. Thought you guys might like it

Thanks for taunting us. Will enjoy seeing Laf in a Wings/Sens jersey .
But great video btw.

The building blocks are there. If they can get some good UFA this summer (with the money from Ericsson/Daley/Gagner/Howard) or next (Helm/Filppula/Nemeth/Bernier), they could climb back up rapidly. Of course they can easily screw it up if they can't get a good goalie and a top pair D. It's also dependent on Veleno/Seider/Cholowski/McIsaac being decent.

Uutta: Jokerit on yllätysvärväyksen jäljillä – NHL-lupaus Henrik Borgström lähellä Suomeen paluuta

Henrik Borgström is upset with Panthers management and is signing a 1 year contract with Jokerit in the KHL. This comes after Juho Lammikko left to play in the Liiga.

This is 100% the kind of move MB should jump on if the price is right. Borgstrom has shown flashes in the AHL, put him in Laval with Bouchard and put Kotka on his line with Ylonen and see what happens.

Borgstrom - Kotkaniemi - Ylonen definitely looks like a beauty of a line.

I'm a big fan of his as he was outstanding in the NCAA but not a fan of how the panthers have handled him. I know he gave Laval fits in the few times we faced them last year, don't recall this year off the top of my head. But if the price is right you would be getting a big skilled winger that can play center and would likely fit in with our Finns, roll the dice and see if you can turn him into something.

Who says he's sure to be in Detroit? Those teams are gonna get a lottery still.. he might go to Ottawa for all we know

Been a big fan of Borgstrom for a long time. Seems like the kind of player that takes longer to develop but can make an impact at the NHL level once he’s ready. Surrounding him with good young prospects to develop in a system where they can come up together would be a godsend. Hope we can pry him away as he’d be a great addition to the prospect pool we already have going.

Ya doesn't Ottawa have the best odds of landing the 1st overall anyways?

Depends which draft lottery format they use.

New one - Ottawa
Old one - Detroit

Vegas naming streets after 1st year LVGK players: Tatar and Suzuki getting their own too.

Marc-Andre Fleury Road? North Las Vegas getting Golden...

 

[Phil Parent]

Tatar gets a Court, which is essentially a dead-end. Fitting for his tenure there.

But I don't get Suzuki. Why not give it to Pacioretty?

Kovalev wants a coaching job in the NHL per some interview. It's on La Presse.

 

[montreal]

Vegas signs Jack Dugan their 5th round pick in '17, he led the NCAA in scoring so interested to see how he does next year.

 

[Toene]

Red Wings need defense soooo bad. Sure they take Lafreniere at first overall, but if theyre below that, Id look at Drysdale real hard. Seider and Cholowski are good but they need more.

He was notorious for doing his own thing as a player and not always being the easiest guy around to coach . Similar guys like Lafleur were never able to transition to a coaching position, I wonder if Alex can.

He was the muscle on one of the better lines in college hockey this season. I like him a lot, he's big, agressive and he's got a good all around toolbox. Real modern power forward type.

A bit surprising IMO, he's still only 30 and he could have found an NHL team willing to give him a 1M+ contract for next year without too much difficulty. He must have really wanted to go to Europe.

Congrats to Igor Eronko, who has for a long while been a good source for news coming out of the KHL/Europe, has been named Assistant GM for Avangard Omsk. It's like hearing Pierre LeBrun becomes an Assistant GM of an NHL team.
