Is it!? Haven’t seen it yet. Hopefully I’ll watch it tonight. Thanks for the heads up. I’m still only halfway through season 3. I was trying to watch it with my wife but it’s hard with a 2 and 4 year old that don’t go to bed until 11-12 at night. We don’t get to watch adult things right now.

Anyone watch the Bernier interview yet? Someone on HF said he mentions being excited to have Doug playing in front of him.

If anyone has a stream for tonight I would appreciate it. Not sure why it’s broadcast on ESPN 2 but ESPN+ isn’t streaming it. @Guadana usually has a good stream.

Wasn’t Zach salty at Lou because they chased Kovy so hard a d gave him that contract? Not saying he wouldn’t still sign with Lou but I’m not sure it’s a lock. He could still want to be closer to home and sign with the Blackhawks or something.

Found this on a Red Wings news site: ”Might the Devils, with the fourth pick, unite brothers Jack and Luke? “I’ve been to the rink; I know the franchise pretty well,” Luke said. “Jack loves it in New Jersey. Really cool rink, really cool fanbase. “It would be unbelievable to go to the Devils. My brother clearly wants me to be there. It would be super-cool to play with him. At the same time, there’s 32 great teams and I’d be happy to go to any one of those teams.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlive.com/redwings/2021/07/red-wings-could-have-shot-at-another-hughes-brother-d-man-luke.html%3foutputType=amp Gotta draft Luke, I’m sorry. At the very least we’ll know someone on the team will be ready and able to take a pass from Jack.

By the way the guy Bob Wischusin that’ll be working for espn is from Westfield. I grew up a block away from him. I think he eventually went to a private school though.

This should be they song they play when the Devils take the ice.

To me Jacks potential is still sky high but at this point that’s all his contract would be based on. Potential. I don’t think he’s been underwhelming whatsoever but I also don’t think he’s played up to the guy we’re going to eventually overpay for. I can see a shorter deal if he doesn’t light it up next season. Like 6 mil per for 1-2 years. Then I’m guessing once he starts putting up numbers he’ll get 8x8 or something. Maybe even 9x8.

To me, we’re still struggling to score so drafting a playmaking defender is the way I’m leaning. Our defense isn’t great but I think it’s easier to fill in the stay at home spot with UFA’s and trades as opposed to the high end playmaking spot. We just shouldn’t be struggling to score like we do with this kind of talent.

I think that trading up with Anaheim to draft Luke (if he’s still there) would send an important message to Jack and the core of the team that Fitzgerald/management believes in this core and are making the necessary moves to try and keep them together long term.

What would you trade, if anything, to Anaheim packaged with the 4th over all pick to get their 3rd overall pick?
