One thing I'll say about Wallinder is that he was always a project and the Wings walked Johansson to his waivers eligibility before playing him in the NHL and now he's a regular (for better or worse). Maybe Wallinder comes in and surprises us next season.

No way Hutson should be anywhere near the USA roster. JT Miller, Trochek and Nelson are certainly choices over Robertson and Caufield....

This Kasper season has honestly been fascinating. He definitely has some games where he isn't good positioning-wise or lacks effort, but I honestly feel like the "eye test" says he's playing fairly well overall just very unlucky. I randomly pulled up moneypuck to check an expected goal model, and he's 6th on the team just ahead of Raymond so these made up stats seem to support it as well (DeBrincat, Finnie, Larkin, Copp(!!), JVR ahead of Kasper). I expected him to snap out of his funk by now though. We'll see if he gets better results in the new year.

Tuomisto has gotta be ready I hope they can pull off a trade for a defender or two, with how the league is just getting into the playoffs means a team could make some noise

I am one of Cossa's biggest supporters around here (I think so at least) and I'd trade him in a package for a real legit difference maker in the NHL right now (ala Hughes). If the Wings didn't have what seems to be a plethora of good goalie prospects I would be much more hesitant, but goalie prospects feels like the one part of the organization that is easiest to part with in my mind I guess.

Simon seems like he is incredibly strong when he actually engages and doesn't do his weird hands down/face out in scrums move 😂. I feel like half the time he forgets he's in the NHL where someone will pop you in the mouth.

I love the gloves with the centennial uniform but I just really like that style of glove. I honestly thought they were going to wear it for the home opener and then whatever special centennial game is going on (is there one?). I didn't realize they were going to be wearing it so much during the season, it kinda killed it for me.

Missed this, hope they're back soon

Maybe I'm just a hater but I feel like people like Jarmo for no reason. Bergevin stinks and I don't think Jarmo's tenure in Columbus was that impressive so I don't imagine this new Buffalo direction is going to go well, but what do I know.

A little odd timing since Kasper seemed to play well yesterday, but he hasn't been great. Wings up 2-1, Raymond had a nice pp snipe and it looked like maybe a Leonard tip on the second one

Hell of a shot

Oh definitely, he just didn't think the game well enough to effectively use his speed in my opinion. Plus he always seemed on the lazier side but it could have just been him trying to process the game.

It's a real shame Otto Kivenmaki had that wild head injury, I thought they had found something there. But ya....with hindsight that draft was absolutely awful woof. Zadina didn't have the brains or speed for the NHL. Joe Veleno has no brains. McIsaac got hurt then was out of the equation. I guess Regula is with the Oilers now... Gross.

Maybe a fresh start does him some good, I don't think the Wings will miss him much

As we all suspected Wonder if someone takes a chance

The AHL's leading scorer gets a call up, let's see if he is more than just a AAAA player I wasn't sure if they would thinking they might want to keep the GR chemistry going:

They've explicitly talked about it multiple times and the Vancouver GM straight up came out and said it earlier this season. Here's one quote I found in quick google: "Honestly, I'm not afraid to say it. Eventually I'd love to play with him. And whether that's in New Jersey or at what time that takes, at some point, I want to play with Quinn," he said, via The Athletic. "But yeah, that's the question going around. They talk all day about it up in Vancouver, you know? But yeah, I'd love to play with Quinn at some point."
