I disagree with some of Yzerman's moves (Copp, Petry, Holl, Chiarot), but the second half where you were asking Steve to make a move and accusing him of being timid about trades doesn't match reality. Nearly half the roster was overturned last summer. Yzerman absolutely fleeced Ottawa for Debrincat (similarities to your Bishop trade hypothetical). He took a risk that no other team would take in signing Kane. You guys mentioned the Nick Leddy trade, so that was good. I wouldn't say it's "been quiet" at all for Yzerman. Remember, it takes two and sometimes three to tango with trades. You've got have a willing trade partner, and for high-level players, you often have to get the player to agree to waive an NTC. The same is true for free agents. They are choosing between 32 different options. The message with the 23 guys on the roster each night is not necessarily "these are the best guys," but "these are the best guys we could get and are comfortable playing right now." I disagree with not having Ed, Burgers, and Johan on the team last year, but I don't think Yzerman is taking advantage of fans' trust. Yzerman likes to let his prospects overripen, it's just a philosophy you (and frankly I) disagree with. They believe success in the AHL will lead to confidence in the NHL. Look at Ras for how he was brought up too fast and it hurt his confidence. Again, I agree that they are waiting too long with the prospects. The Wings could take a step back next year due to having to have at least 3 younger guys on the roster next year instead of easing them in 1 or 2 at a time each year. Anyhow, nice video.

Lindstrom would be a solid pick as the Habs are STACKED with young dmen: Guhle, Xhekaj, Barron, Harris, Struble, already NHLers. Hutson & Mailloux looked impressive in their late-season cups of coffee. Both NHL ready IMHO. And then there's still Konyushkov & Engstrom who look promising and 5th overall pick Reinbacher! CHeers

Mikko Koivu was a good Finn

Habs loaded on. d but lack that high end forward in their prospect pool. Well done, fellas I enjoyed the mock draft

Hawks going Demidov! It seems everyone wants them to pass on him so they can get him. We can go D with our 20th pick!!!

Chicago wants Eiserman. Hawks trading down. You heard it here.

Good job on the Habs pick. You talked it through and if Demedov is available that would be their first choice and Cayden Lindstrom. Do not be surprised on Beckett Senneke. A lot of scouts are now saying a top 5 pick
