Mesidor. He was doubled a lot the 23-24 season when he was playing DT and was not doubled nearly as much playing DE in 24-25 because Bain got the doubles

He was getting double teamed when he played DT last year. This year he rarely was doubled

I don't know, he looked good for Miami once they stopped forcing him to play DT (which was an insanely stupid thing to do). He also got stuck being doubled teamed an insane number of plays when playing DT. I understand Bain got the most attention, but Mesidor pretty much didn't get blocked 1-on-1 by anybody this season. I don't think there is any way he makes it out of the 1st (unless his medical has red flags) - too many teams picking in the bottom 12 spots want an edge that will be an impact player day 1. Mesidor has the technique and pass rush move variety to contribute day 1 (unlike some of the other edges that are freak athletes but more raw).

I get it's disappointing, but this was definitely a seller's market and the only players traded away were players that would be depth pieces at best for us. A lot of the top teams (Avs, Stars, Lightning, Wild post Hughes) really only traded for depth pieces. Just a terrible trade deadline all around and I'm glad we didn't cave and sell the farm for somebody like Tro (even though I like him and he fits our team well).

The gift that keeps on giving. I mean the turd that keeps on stinking...

He will probably be used sparingly to give guys off days until the playoffs. Can't see him playing in the playoffs for us unless we need a goon out there

I don't mind losing the 1st rounder. I do mind losing one of our best young players or prospects

I don't think there was any way the Preds were trading O'Reilly unless they received a king's ransom. So probably a similar trade requirement of multiple 1sts and somebody like Nadeau, Blake, or Boom

if Schenn and Roy are getting 1st rounders +, I can only imagine what the hell the Rags are asking for. Wouldn't surprise me if they are asking for Boom + a couple of 1st rounders

We definitely still have a defensive issue. Way too many easy shots from the slot because we have guys chasing along the boards for no reason. Not worried about the 4 goals Bus gave up - 3 of them are not getting saved by pretty much any goalie in the NHL

My lord these prices teams are paying for players. Islanders gave up a haul for Schenn

It's a sellers market. A lot of the trades that have happened have been overpays IMO. While it would be nice to get a 2C, I don't want us trading away our best prospects or our young NHL talent for it

A goon that probably won't be one of our top 12 forwards. Might be brought in if we need physicality or when playing dirty teams like the Panthers

While I'm not opposed to it and do like Blankenship, I'd rather spend the money elsewhere. There are a few cover 1/cover 2 zone type of safeties I like in the draft I think we can get in the mid rounds (Kilgore, Wheatley, Genesis Smith, Clark). I would rather see our money be used at short term LT, edge, 3-tech DT, or LB personally.

Kind of surprised the Raiders are releasing Geno. I'm guessing they are going to throw Mendoza out there week 1 and probably end up killing his career by the start of 2027...

I'm convinced Brandon Beane is a cuck that only likes the Panthers sloppy seconds

Yeah - Tremayne was very reliable at catching the ball when it was thrown his way. Still not sure he is able to get open at a good rate, but at least he seems to have his head on a swivel (unlike XL)

And that is a valid argument. If the concussions were very bad and a future concern, I'm sure that the Rams wouldn't even look at Horn to try and trade for. I do think if Horn could learn to stop blindly diving in on tackles and learn proper tackling technique, that can limit his concussion risk. Whether that happens or not is unknown

I'm pretty sure we would all happily take that Rams package they offered for Burns for Horn (2 firsts and a 2nd). But I highly doubt anyone offers that draft capital for Horn (and frankly was a dumb offer by the Rams that unfortunately dumbass Fitterer didn't take). It's crazy how many of our fans would happily trade away Horn for just pick 29 from the rams when we have a defense that is made up of DB, Mike, maybe Scourton if he keeps improving, and a bunch of JAGs...

I like Tremayne on the outside and wish he would get more of XLs snaps

Not sure any goalie is stopping the last three goals the Canucks scored... Deflection off of a defender on a cross crease pass, open slot shot after a pass from Bussi's post (he has to hold the post there), and an open cross crease dunk on the 5 on 3 PK. Penalty kill looked awful tonight. Gave up the middle way to easily and let the Canucks easily move the puck around

Nice, Ehlers got the hatty

Seems like he could at the very worst be a good special teams player. Could be a good gadget player also

They targeted McDuffie because the other top CBs weren't going to be traded. I saw plenty of McDuffie on the outside last year for the Chiefs and the dude made Horn's tendencies to get defensive holding/DPI look like a nothing burger in comparison. He probably won't be put on an island as much with the Rams because Spags blitzes like every single play. But I think there should be a good amount of concern for the Rams if they plan to line him up outside.

Wow, Rams gave up a lot for a corner who has only been good in the slot. If McDuffie can get a 1st, 5th, 6th, and 2027 3rd, curious what the Rams would have offered us for Horn
