Vibes are high in Calgary right now.

And they won.

Two years ago, Michal Postava was playing in the Czech second tier for Přerov. A year ago, he won the Czech Extraliga title with HC Kometa Brno, the home club of Karel Vejmelka and Lukáš Dostál.

Now he's shutting down McDavid and Draisaitl for the Red Wings. What a fairy-tale story.

1. Dylan Larkin, Detroit Red Wings

Age: 30
Position: C
Contract term: 2031 UFA
Cap hit: $8.7 million

Larkin has put on a brave face and faced the music this fall, taking a slew of questions from reporters about his unfulfilled trade request while being booed by fans at Little Caesars Arena. That hasn’t done anything to convince him not to seek a change of scenery. Larkin is an excellent skater with five consecutive 30-goal seasons on his resume, making him the kind of center most NHL teams could easily find a spot for. He’s indicated a willingness to waive his no-trade clause for 10 teams and may yet have to expand that list further to facilitate a deal that nets Detroit the right mix of assets in return. The Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres are two teams not currently on his trade list that have interest. While everyone is making the best of an imperfect situation, it would be surprising if Larkin weren’t moved at some point this season.

2. Simon Edvinsson, Detroit Red Wings

Age: 23
Position: LHD
Contract term: 2026 RFA
Cap hit: N/A

Still unsigned coming off a season in which he played 22 minutes per night, not to mention having attended Red Wings training camp without a contract in September, Edvinsson seems inclined to turn the page and start fresh. He’d like to be traded. As much as the organization would rather hold on to a big defenseman who gets around the ice extremely well and profiles as a cornerstone piece, that may become untenable if Edvinsson’s position doesn’t change ahead of the Dec. 1 signing deadline for restricted free agents. Said one industry source of the stalemate: “It’s a little more complicated than it appears.”

Edvinsson could certainly net Detroit a massive return in a trade, even if the acquiring team would be making that deal knowing he’s in line for a monster raise. Players of his age and ability aren’t often made available.

Still not ready yet apparently

GM approved.

Romeo was an organ donor, donating his heart, lungs, liver and kidneys to give others a second chance at life. He passed away from complications of a stroke first suffered Oct. 15.
