slothfacekilla Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Meh, I'm not concerned about the WJC especially after the weird covid tournament before this. Our best prospects stayed home by choice to play in men's leagues so I don't see how that is anything but a positive in the context of the WJC. Even with Sweden cutting LDN (honestly still shocked about that he was a former captain for them, their federation seems like a mess at the junior level) the Wings have a couple players in Anton Johansson and Maximilian Kilpinen who should step in for Sweden next tournament. Lets do some prospect videos for old time's sake Wallinder really has been playing in all situations, his development is very exciting I would like one or both in Detroit next season if possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 if wallinder and edvinnson are both in detroit next year, what does the defense look like? do they re-sign walman? seider-walman hronek-wallinder edvinnson-chairot? hronek might be traded.

1984Echoes Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I don't think they bring Edvinsson up to Detroit unless he's playing top 4. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Before this season I would have let Walman walk/trade him this season but I honestly love how he's been playing... I love the lineup Buddha posted but I wouldn't be shocked if yzerman wanted to resign Maatta, for some reason I keep expecting it. 18 minutes ago, 1984Echoes said: I don't think they bring Edvinsson up to Detroit unless he's playing top 4. Just a guess. I would agree I think, I would love them to get him some sheltered minutes though. If he keeps up his strong play that he's done recently in the AHL for the rest of this season, I think it would be good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I also want Maata resigned. Can we trade Chiarot for anything? Not impressed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Dmen I'm most willing to lose are Osterle and Chairot. Walman made a great play the other night where he skated down a breakaway. He ended up getting a penalty on a terrible call when the guy blew a skate blade and crashed, (they actually showed the trainers working on the skate on the bench but the officials didn't reverse the tripping call....surprise) but in any case it was impressive speed by Walman-no one on the team but maybe Larkin would have been close. Recently he seems to me to be showing more of those good wheels that he's supposed to be known for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 pronman - after listing wallinder in the 100s of top prospects - lists him and mazur in his column today on fast rising prospects. William Wallinder, LHD, Detroit Wallinder has been excellent in the SHL this season, as the 20-year-old has been one of the top players for Rogle. As a 6-foot-4 defenseman who can skate quite well for his size and is showing a lot of offense this season, you can one day envision Wallinder in an NHL top four. His defending and physicality could use some improvement, but he’s not deficient as a defender. The tools he has distinguish him as a pro prospect, especially with the level of skill and playmaking he’s showing right now. Carter Mazur, RW, Detroit Mazur’s significant upward trend of development over the last few years has carried into this season, where he’s been one of the very best players in college hockey. His skating and compete level have always been positives in his game, but the level of offense he’s showing right now is quite significant compared to a few seasons ago. Mazur can shoot the puck, has good hands and offensive sense to go with his speed and direct style of play. He’s looking like someone who could be a top six winger in the NHL one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's going to require a move, and... Noone will want Hagg. I think the Chiarot signing was a mistake. I'd like to move him but I don't see that as a realistic possibility. I don't want to move Maatta... but I think he's the guy that teams will want and SY will be able to make a trade... if he wants to... I'd prefer to dump Chiarot... but didn't we sign him to 3 years...? Ugggh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 chariot was signed to provide toughness and he's done that. this team got physically pushed around last year and there has been less of that this year. he still has big issues as a defenseman, but he's served some good. i watched edvinsson tonight. he's very big and very smooth. cant teach that. not sure if that will translate at the nhl level because he still makes a lot of mistakes. young, time will tell.

1984Echoes Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 There's lots of ways to get bigger and tougher on a team... It can't just rest all on Chiarot's shoulders... I know what you're saying, I've seen a few of his hits. He's... solid. But, again, there are other ways/ players, not just one guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 I thought the play that Edvinsson made on the Vrana goal was pretty nifty if not a little lucky, really like how he won the puck here before dishing it: Soderblom had two goals, and Matt Luff is back!

1984Echoes Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Ned's playing better down in GR with a .921 Save %-age. Vrana scored 2 goals tonight. Zadina scored 1. Soderblom with an assist and a SO winning score. Johansson and Edvinsson with an assist each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
