Yes, it is. lmfao



i really hope so man, my entire life we've been good. Just enough to make up for lions epic ineptitude, but im already sick of being at the bottom of the barrel and its only been 3 years.

We had it too good for too long... With Yerman back in the office, I think we have a good chance of turning this around in a few years. Not as good as being the elite team that we used to be, but certainly playoff regulars

no team will ever be able accomplish what the red wings accomplished with the salary cap.
Stevie has done wonders building up tampa, i dont see any reason he cant do the same for us with time.

Odds that we lose the draft lottery this year?

Odds are somewhere in this range:
1st: 18.5%
2nd: 16.5%
3rd: 14.4%
4th: 50.6%

but in reality theres like a 95% chance they give it to 3 of the struggling big market teams lol prob some combination of LA, New Jersey, Chicago, Montreal, or Rangers

From what I hear, the draft pool is better this year with more talent. Imo, I would be happy with a 4th pick. As an original 6 team with a good history, they should hook us up

Yup. I wont be as angry if/when we get shafted this year as i might be in other years.
Lafreniere, Byfield, Stutzle, Perfetti, and Rossi are all looking like they will all be on the Hughes/Kakko level or better.
And then you have Lucas Raymond, Alexander Holtz, and Anton Lundell who have all looked really good at world juniors for sweden and finland.
Drysdale is the top Defenseman available, he looks pretty solid though theres a stiff gap in talent between him and the forwards mentioned above, as well as an even more sizeable gap between Drysdale and the next D (tankathon has Drysdale going at #5 and the next defenseman going at #15)
The Russian goalie Askarov, i havent seen any of his footage, but to be mocked in or around the top 10 as a goalie you have to be pretty damn good.

I'm having Larry Murphy at my place for a couple hours tomorrow, anything you guys want me to ask him for you?

Ask him how his daughter Alexa and his son Luke are doing
I'm from Clarkston and I went to school with his daughter

/// Maybe I should add a little more info so you don't seem like a creep, haha.
I used to hang out with his daughter and I met him once as well, a very shy guy in person actually.
My name is Jack Ryan, so if he relay's the message, Luke may have forgotten, but Alexa will know.
I watched a movie in his home theater, lol. They had a stable at their house as well and it was (obviously) a nice place.
I should actually just shoot her a message now anyway
My aunt was his dental hygienist, and she got us all autographs, lol
