Ras would have to go back to jrs and in my opinion that would be a waste of his time and development. He needs to be in the show. Ever since he came back from his wrist injury he was dominant in jrs and i feel that if he gets sent back it will be a wasted year in his development.

https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/2018-nhl-draft-grades-sabres-panthers-red-wings-get-top-marks-for-their-picks/ Detroit Red Wings: A+ They should be absolutely enthralled with what transpired this weekend. Even if you look just at the first round, they landed maybe the draft's second-best goal-scorer at No. 6 in Filip Zadina, then got another steal with center Joseph Veleno at No. 30. http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/news/nhl-draft-picks-2018-grades-results-trade-rumors-rasmus-dahlin-brady-tkachuk-quinn-hughes/37z44iwdg3q5z9c3nm9j05h8 6. Detroit Red Wings — Filip Zadina, LW, Halifax (QMJHL) The Red Wings really needed a puck mover who can run their power play, but Filip Zadina is an elite forward they simply couldnt pass up. This kid fills the net and competes hard in all three zones. A real leader and sets a great example. Grade: A 30. Detroit Red Wings (via Golden Knights) — Joe Veleno, C, Drummondville (QMJHL) About time a team woke up and took the draft's fastest center, except Veleno is a premier playmaker who busts it from start to finish. Mark my words -- he will be one of the better NHL players to come out of this draft. Grade: A https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2782556-2018-nhl-draft-results-team-by-team-grades-for-notable-picks Detroit Red Wings: Filip Zadina, LW, Halifax, Grade: A Zadina has a terrific shot, and his ability to go to the front of the net is notable. He' also solid on both ends of the ice. Center Joseph Veleno, right wing Jonatan Berggren and defenseman Jared McIsaac all look like potential big-time contributors. So apparently all of these guys are clueless too.

This is a winger who can play as soon as this season, even in a top-six role. The Red Wings then capitalized on another draft faller, when center Joseph Veleno was available at No. 30. Detroit's biggest need was defense, and they addressed that with three defensemen during the next two rounds. Detroit is embarking on a total makeover, and this draft couldn't have gone any better for GM Ken Holland -- who has been on a roll since the trade deadline after bringing in a haul for Tomas Tatar. Apparently, reports of Holland's demise have been greatly exaggerated. The Red Wings being good again is fun for everyone!

Seriously though Lefty, and I say this with deep respect, you don't need this in your life right now. Maybe take a step back from the computer and collect yourself. This forum isn't going anywhere. Normalcy can be therapeutic, but this can't be healthy. This is my first draft in here, so maybe this happens every year. But I have to be honest, I am concerned for your well being. I wish you peace and I truly hope things get better for you. Oh yeah, take it from me, Lexapro works wonders! Great. Now the kids ruined.

it's confirmed Z-Z in the Top line...

Here's the video link. Freeze at the 1:07 mark for the hoohaa shot. I examined this video like Kevin Costner examined the Zapruter film in JFK. "Back...and to the left..."

https://www.freep.com/videos/sports/nhl/red-wings/2018/06/23/watch-prospects-talk-being-drafted-red-wings/728148002/ Zadina is a cocky kid. I love it. Spoiler Alert: O'Reilly has a Detroit connection. Regula's Dad used to be team dentist. McIsaac is a teammate of Zadina in Halifax. Veleno is boring. Had no contact with Wings before being drafted. Totally stoked for these kids!!!

I’m fairly certain Zadina and Rasmussen will make this year’s lineup. I hope all 4 do and Kenny moves some contracts out.

Holland reaches down = he doesn't know what he's doing Holland reaches up = It fell into his lap The man simply cannot win. It's truly an amazing complex/paradox that Leftwinger has built. You can't find mental instability this good just anywhere, only at LGW.

Cause you get to channel your manufactured outrage into whining and moaning all year?

HALIFAX ATTACK

Well Zadina played in Canada, so maybe "Zed" haha

No. It's anarchy.

A drunk chimpanzee could have drafted Wahlstrom, Dobson, and Wilde. This draft PROVES Lou has completely lost his touch. Worst Islanders Draft Ever

We need more of this Lefty. Go to your happy place.

Lol everyone is saying the Wings and the Isles won the draft Our best draft in 20+ years = Biggest Leftwinger meltdown LGW makes no sense sometimes lmao ANARCHY Paging @RobotHeart

I didn't say your name? Also, the only one here not having constructive conversation is you. But keep crying! We are all very entertained

He was ranked 32nd on Button's list. Holland drafted him at #33. What's the problem? He also drafted McIsaac at #36. He was ranked 26th on Button's list. It's not like Holland went off the board here, or even reached at all. It was a good draft thru the first 4 picks. Why can't we just be excited that we just drafted 4 players that probably would have all been first rounders in other draft years?

I so wish this were ture

This draft was almost subpar until we all got what we wanted. The Leftwinger meltdown.

guys we got ryan o'reilly for a 4th. holland is genius

@Hockeymom1960....who are you really though?
