I don't seem to remember a team president being so prominent with the press as Rutherford is - almost presenting himself as the GM. Didn't seem this way with Linden.

That's what he wants us to think...

The people that take the time to reply are likely the ones that care...

I think I know why he hired Tocchet.

Like Hronek for sure. Rasmussen seems to have limited upside. I know he's from Surrey though...

The man has a drinking problem.

I don't trust this guy at all. He's besties with George W...

Brock’s hair is worth at least a 2nd.

Some good points - it's moot, really, but so is all discussion here until one of these posters is promoted to GM. I will put in a word with the brass...

Would you trade Horvat for Zegras in his draft plus 1 year? It’s not that different.

Yes, it's not equal value. Detroit would be getting fleeced....

If Det were able to sign Horvat as part of a deal for Kasper I would see Det adding. As a rental, not so sure.

Suck it up and keep OEL for three more seasons. It's not like we have a replacement ready anyway. Buy him out in Summer 2026 when he will truly suck. One year of 4.1 million penalty and one year of 1.5. Not so bad.

That's what I'm talking about. We would be lucky to pull that deal for Kasper.

Kasper is listed as a centre and 6' 1 on Nhl.com Hockey DB lists him as a 5'10 winger As per his draft day photo, he looks several inches taller than Yzerman who is 5'10
