FIGJAM now stands for fellas I groped julie, arrest me

Corey Pronman with a pretty wild top of the list for draft prospects. He’s got three D men to start, Reid, Šmits, Verhoeff. A lot of people have Reid or another D at the top of their list. But most people have kept the early season presumptuous first pick Verhoeff toward the bottom of the top ten after a disappointing season. He had Verhoeff and Šmits going 6 and 8 in his mock so he’s definitely not just relying on common assumptions about these players. McKenna and Stenberg round out the top 5. I think I’d be fine with McKenna, Stenberg, Reid or Šmits but not interested in any of the other RHD (at least Reid has “special” upside). None of the D are going to play NHL minutes next year so it’s not like the current logjam on the blue line is a big issue. At least one of those guys will be out the door or on the way by this time next year and Reid could realistically be looking at 28/29 season introduction and by then the logjam should be clear. but a F is much more pressing of a need, since this team cannot score enough with current players. and I’d still like to see what kind of current quality F they could get for the pick this year

Oilers hiring Babcock seems like a hilarious misinterpretation of the Vegas/Tortorella story

Skeptics are gonna see the Hawks as a team that is a year or two away from being Detroit, a not good enough for playoffs not bad enough for lottery luck group. I don’t see a 30 y/o sick of missing the playoffs every year being open to coming to Chicago. You’re probably sending back Nazar and picks in that deal. It could make sense for Chicago but does Detroit want draft picks?

We don’t have an EPA. There will be no repercussions for companies that kill in the near future.

I missed most of the game. But that Marner block definitely saved a tying goal with seconds remaining

Both goalies are capable of falling apart at a moments notice. Vegas only needs three more wins but it’s hardly over. Carolina can still make noise.

Take the under

Biggest snag is San Jose likely very open to trading down below Chicago. SJ has #20 as well and could be in a position to stockpile defensive prospects a little lower.

Vancouver hiring Malhotra feels like it almost guarantees they draft his son at 3, which almost everybody has mocked at this point.

The Bears didn’t have anybody possible comparable. that’s the whole reason we’re in this defensive predicament

You don’t know if the bears had a Jared Verse on the roster?

Since this was a ‘27 third, the future 1/2/3 rounds picks now look like: ’26 (1,2,2,2,3) ’27 (1,1,1,2,2,3,3) ’28 (1,2,2,3) that’s 5 1s, 7 2s, 4 3s. 16 contracts that will have to be added to the 50 contract maximum. At a minimum they should be looking to trade away 2 1s and three or four 2s/3s within that calendar year. That should be enough to acquire one top 6 forward and a halfway decent D man.
