We're in month 76 of the off-season... we need something to talk about at this point.

Seider (still playing), Berggren and Veleno with a goal today.

Nice try! Blaming Steve for Holland’s draft blunders

I’m watching the game now on hockeytv.com I seen the goal but somehow missed the hit where he got hurt. I’m really enjoying my hockeytv subscription, get all the junior A leagues in Canada, bunch of local junior B leagues, NAHL, USPHL and a bunch of European leagues for just over 30 bucks Canadian a month. I wish I ordered this years ago, I’m going to watch Hronek’s game next!

Is there a no fighting clause in this contract?

https://www.mlive.com/redwings/2020/11/red-wings-prospects-gaining-valuable-experience-in-sweden.html a little summary of our prospects in sweden wherever he plays, he´s taken over. He only needs a few games to adjust and is almost instantly where he needs to be. I really enjoy watching him, his calm demeanor, the awareness what´s going on around him, his strength and positioning there is so much to like... I really can´t wait to see him in the NHL.

Or Raymond. I'll probably be watching the Berggren vs Veleno game, but flicking back and forth between the three games. I really wish they would spread the times out a little...

I think I remember posting before the start of the season that people here in sweden are really hyped for the kid. Like you, I had no real expectations or hopes for this season other than him being healthy. Now I'm working real hard on tempering my expectations of what he can become.

Well, that sucks. Could they move Hronek to, say, Finnish Liiga? I want that boy playing games...

btt as bad as all this covid-s*** is, there´s one good thing about it. We can watch quite a lot of our prospects in the SHL. On tuesday we will have a matchup of Berggren vs Veleno and Seider vs Johansson. Brome had a goal and an assist yesterday, to give us two prospects in the top 10 in scoring. Update of our Prospects in the SHL Berggren 10gp 2g 14a 16p +4 Brome 10gp 3g 8a 11p +6 Raymond 11gp 3g 2a 5p +3 Seider 4gp 1g 3a 4p +4 Johannson 11gp 1g 3a 4p +2 Veleno 5gp 1g 1a 2p -2 other Soderblom,Grewe, Setkov, Niederbach (playing minor roles on their teams)

Can anyone provide links pm of this game?

I watched a Skelleftea game last week, and that entire game Berggren played on the top line wing, with (ironically) Andreas Wingerli as his center. I could be wrong, but I don't think he's played much, if any center at all this season. I do find it kind of funny though, that you of all people, not only brought this up, but are "overjoyed" by Berggren potentially playing center. Berggren was drafted as a winger. How is it possible that a winger can transition to center? That can't happen... Can it?

Veleno has always been a year ahead in his development, compared to his peers. He was drafted into the QMJHL a year early, and 4 years later made the jump to the AHL a year early. He should have never been in the AHL last season, only for the exceptional status. He still put up nearly half a point per game as a 19/20 year old rookie, playing against men. I don't see any reason to be skeptical of Veleno's offensive upside. I still think he'll be a legit 2C capable of putting up 50+ points.

I say Amen Amen Amen Amen.....especially when she forgot about the StevieY signed jersey ....boom beetch

I didn´t know that Namestnikov is a local kid and Slava Kozlov his uncle https://www.nhl.com/redwings/video/namestnikov--press-conference/t-277437404/c-6809215

You're at the end of your career, Abby. Write books and raise your child. You had a good run.

REDUNDANT

Yep. Yet he scored at a 26G pace over 82 games as a 20 year old rookie. I have zero issues with this prospect.

Right? Mind blowing how folks refuse to give a 20 year old kid a chance. Guys like Makar or Q.Huges who come in and dominate right away are the exception, not the rule.

Well, good job Yzerman didn't do this with Kucherov after his first season. 9G/9A in 53 games as a 20 year old. (Zadina had 8G/7A in 28 games by the way)

Zadina scored an early power-play goal, and then took a hit to the head, and had to be helped off the ice. Did not finish the game. Hopefully it's nothing too serious, but another Red Wings prospect that cannot catch a break...
