Kevin Allen: Younger goalies are all top notch, but we do miss the old guys Recently retired goalies left the NHL that needs to be filled.

So many questions...

-who is Jimmy Visey?
-who is Zach Acton-Reese?
-not long ago Subban was apparently what every contender was looking for. Now he's a PTO candidate?
-why would Wings fans be worried about Larkin and Bertuzzi not having contract extensions when there are numerous other potential UFAs also unsigned - Barzal, Pastrnak, O'Reilly, Tarasenko, Horvat, etc...Should those fanbases be worried too?
-I did like your point #4

2. On Sept. 15, 1987, exactly 25 years ago, Wayne Gretzky fed Mario Lemieux for the game-winning goal with 1:26 remaining in Canada's 6-5 win against the Soviet Union.

Jimmy Visey

Math? Spelling? Accuracy? Why bother?

How did you keep your job in journalism all those years???

Barzal is not going to be a UFA

Right. RFA. Good catch. Doesn't change the broader point. The author singles out Larkin and Bertuzzi as some ominous sign that extensions are proving to be problematic. Yet so many other guys are in the exact same situation. There is 9+ months to sort this out.

The Preds can have Krappenkirk for a plane ticket... he can play the RS with whoever... they want.

McKinnon says his extension is close to done. I’m guessing 8x 10.5-11. He says it’ll be fair but friendly.

Nobody was shocked that Fluery was the only Canadian goalie on the list. People were surprised he was on the list the list period.

I say 8 x 12.5 to 13M

I invite everyone else to chime in, as we are all clearly experts

Greatest of all time?

You'd have an easier time picking the top five drummers of all time or the top five Canadian guitarists.

Why would anyone ask the question of who the greatest hockey player is of all time? It’s not even debatable 🙄

Matthews is the greatest all-time at receiving a pass.

The best of the best is Lifeson.

We had Jeff Healey but he’s dead.

Rick Emmett

Jason Hook ( five finger death lunch) can shred.

Andrew Kingsley of Unleash the Archers is a wicked guitarist too.

Jimmy Visey is a good guitarist. But Zach Acton-Reese is better.

Just an FYI to any Wings fans worried about Larkin not having an extension yet. News out tonight that Larkin is pretty pleased with the way negotiations have gone thus far. He's pretty hopeful a deal gets done. They have 9 more months.

So a bit of a different story than this repeated narrative about how nothing seems to be happening. Also didn't really seem that difficult to get that info. A Sportsnet reporter simply asked Dylan "how are contract talks going"? He answered that directly. Quite the investigative journalist...
