So we sign Hoffman,and continue to look for scoring help in the top 6 ??

Macarther/Turris/Ryan

Hoffman/Brassard/Stone

Looks decent to me ,unsure of what else we could get .That wouldnt cost the moon to upgrade our top 6

Seems like the second line is better than the first line.

You guys can have Bailey too. You're welcome.

Should be:

Hoffman-Brassard-Ryan
MacArthur-Turris-Stone

Methot-Karlsson
Phaneuf-Ceci

Problem is there isn't a ton of depth outside the top 6 and top 4.

Best #5 of all time and No Lidstrom.

Clearly lots of work and thought has been put into this.

" The Wings have had discussions with Calgary about Jimmy Howard and I am expecting this will pick up these next few weeks."

Why the hell would CGY now want Howard? They just traded for and signed in FA Elliott and Johnson. Bad optics for CGY if they now trade 1 of those 2 for Howard. It would have to be one hell of a deal in CGY's favor.

Holland has been talking to the Calgary Hitmen about loaning Howard to them as a goalie coach.

If Calgary trades for Jimmy Howard, Brian Elliott is liable to go full-nuclear meltdown. He just got out of a 1a/1b situation in St. Louis. Bringing in Howard might make him snap.

This haha that would suck for him

Smith will be well under 20g this year as he will not have a 20% sh and it will be closer to his career avg of 10% sh.

JGP is solid but overall the bottom 6 is weak imo.

Meh Smith is a solid 3rd liner dont fool yourself ,he isnt a 25 goal man usually but he shown he is more than capable of potting 10 to 15 from the 4th line .Him playing with a much better player in JGP,than guys like greening or Neil helps.But in general he is a good faceoff man plays a gritty two way game ,and can play LW and is willing to drop the mitts from time to time .Calling him anything less is pretty shortsighted

Howard to Calgary so we can once again have 3 goalies, and screw our cap situation up so we can't resign Monahan and Gaudreau...

Sometimes a little thought before typing would be appreciated...

You guys realize this is Eklund reporting right?
Guy know nothing about hockey and has exactly zero insider information...doesn't even bother keeping up with basic hockey news, probably didn't even realize Calgary already got 2 goalies this off-season
Pretty sure he just saw a rumor that popped up way back at the draft when Calgary was kicking tires on everyone and thought it was current breaking news

stuff like this just hurts his own reputation if you consider he has any left that is...
