Perrault.

The Athletic thinks he is most like Dylan Cozens...

Barlow is supposed to be slow on his skates... So Honzek and/or Perrault rank higher IMO...

But I would rather Honzek or Perrault at this point... Even if it costs a 2nd-rounder in a trade up...

Pellikka is a crazy-offensive defenseman. PP monster.

Keep on a-reachin' Zona...!

You go But...!!!

In other words, there's still a lot of good, talented options on the board...

Honzek, Perrault or Pellikka.

And a Right-Shot Center at that... they need that high up on the need list too, higher than a straight-up "any" center. But mostly they need some damn goal-scoring...!

I'd really like Perrault or Pellikka to drop to 17 but I don't think either one will make it that far... Willander too as an option...

I prefer Danielson. Maybe Wood?

I thought it was the lipstick. Or lack thereof...

Noted. And thanks...!

So we don't get real reads until they hit stateside...? and there's still an acclimation period I would guess?

And then we'll be allowed to trade Bojan?

And then we can pick a few pitchers...

And he wasn't half bad...

It's a federal offense to threaten federal officers. Which, tfg is NOT. Can we jail this MF'er yet? For crying out loud, this MF'er gets away with every form of criming and we can't get this MF'er imprisoned?

I like Tuomisto... But I think he had fallen off the radar quite a bit, even though I believe he's played a lot better this year back in Finland's Liiga. So I opted to include him in the general point #7 as a guy who could pop but we haven't seen enough of that yet. I think he will pop and get back onto a Wings Top 10 Prospects list... but he'll need to do it in North America when he's back here again, I think, to grab that type of spot... Just my 2 cents.

That's why I put a lot of caveats on that list. And really, looking at the top 2 lines... those aren't All-NHL lines... unless there's a whole lot of development or we have a hidden gem or two... that team looks really average/ bottom-type seedings in the playoffs level. IMO. Although maybe a depth build-up pushes us a notch or two higher, if that happens...?

Not enough to change my mind. Me.

He needs to join Maton in Toledo.

Maybe... Maybe not... We'll see... 😉

This is what I see as the current future of the Red Wings: Age on 10/1/2023: Red Wings Future Simon Edvinsson LD 20 6' 6" 210 Mo Seider RD 22 6' 4" 204 William Wallinder LD 21 6' 4" 192 Shai Buium LD 20 6' 3" 210 Albert Johansson LD 22 6' 0" 165 Sebastian Cossa G 20 6' 6" 212 Ville Husso G 28 6' 3" 200 Dylan Larkin C 27 6' 1" 198 Lucas Raymond LW 21 5' 11" 176 Michael Rasmussen RW 24 6' 6" 212 Marco Kasper C 19 6' 1" 184 Carter Mazur LW 21 6' 0" 170 Elmer Soderblom RW 22 6' 8" 246 Amadeus Lombardi C 20 5' 10" 178 Joe Veleno C 23 6' 1" 203 Dmitri Buchelnikov LW 20 5' 9" 150 Jonaton Berggren RW 23 5' 11" 197 Filip Zadina RW 23 6' 0" 190 Some thoughts: 1) Larkin is on the list due to the contract and he has the speed/ talent to be effective, I believe, for the duration. 2) Husso because I think Goalies have more longevity than forwards/ defenseman. 3) Other than those two... the future of this team is really highly dependent on the 19-24 age group. 4) The guys at the bottom, last two defenseman (Buium & Johansson) and 3rd lineman on the list are iffy. Some will cut it, some will not. No idea who does/ doesn't.... 5) No guarantees that anyone will reach their "potential"; but anyways, that's the top of our current list. 6) We need more top-end talent. Period. And that includes adding some key veterans if we are able to... 7) There are guys who are not on this list... Who are still prospects and could make it to the NHL... But just haven't popped yet. Just my... 2 cents.
