Friedman on NHL Network says "there is some hope that (Trouba to Detroit) can be consummated today."
God I am filled with dread over what this'll be

39. Gabriel Eliasson, LHD, HV71 J20 (J20 Nationell)
September 9, 2006 | 6′ 7″ | 205 pounds
Skating: Below NHL average
Puck skills: Poor
Hockey sense: Below NHL average
Compete: High-end
Shot: Below NHL average
Analysis: Eliasson is a very interesting evaluation given his massive strengths and weaknesses. Eliasson skates well for a big man and can make a lot of stops. He’s extremely physical using his 6-foot-6 frame and has an edge in his game. He has next to no offense though. Eliasson’s puck skills are very limited and his first pass is just OK. He is a player some evaluators love because of how hard he plays, but there is some real doubt he can make even basic plays versus pros.
This reminds me of Brady Cleveland, who the Wings took in the second round last year.

He was 55 on Mackenzie's list but basically he's just a hulking violence factory that plays "hockey"

I have legit never seen a drafted NHL player get a "poor" grade on any skill these things. "Sorry, I'm not so good with the puck eh?"

BLOT supposedly using their new cap space on Guentzel rather than Stamkos? Weird

The genuine answer is “trying to get better defensively” but it really doesn’t feel like Walman for Trouba is a move in the right direction

Detroit picked a goalie named Landon Miller out of the OHL in the fourth round
Probably setting a pick on fire. His stats don’t look good.

They also got Moser and McDonagh this offseason
I’m guessing about the same
