Sadly I think we can stick a fork in Buium. His skating hasn’t improved and he’s been a healthy scratch for a bit in the ahl here. Last game I watched him play he spent the entire game chasing the opposition in his own zone because his foot speed isn’t there. We should see Wallinder due to waiver eligibility next season, and he honestly has looked pretty solid lately. He and Anton have the biggest chances on defense to make the club I think. Maybe if ASP can put on a ton of offseason muscle he is in the mix.

I have to imagine it did. As far as I know it his back keeping him out, and that stemmed from the Buffalo cross check in preseason.

Love the boys giving Axel some face rubs, I feel like the Grand Rapids team is a lot closer than the Red Wings crew. It's definitely easier when your team is doing well, but I hope the kids can carry this over to next season.

Getting kinda excited to see this kid in camp next season

Nice to see Seider getting love from non-Detroit people

Finnie playing for Canada (and Talbot)

I'm sure he's confused looking at the roster for the mere fact that he probably can't read

Super cool to see Max Plante on the list. Faulk is there too.

Not shocking but Seider didn't get a Norris nom.

The more I think about it I can’t see a deal to be made with the Oilers. I don’t think they’re giving up any of their core this offseason. Their prospects suck. I don’t see how it makes sense for both teams. It could make sense to deal McDavid now or something but I can’t imagine Bowman will. So I imagine the Oilers will want to keep the NHL team as strong as possible. I’m probably wrong but I just couldn’t figure out a trade that made sense looking at their assets.

I certainly wouldn't mind trading with Bowman that's for sure
