This is why we don't need Lindholm.

Oooooh

Here comes Simon Edvinsson, the Red Wings top prospect rapidly rising through the SHL Absolute Chad.

Cup. Boom.

Forsberg and Lindholm. Done.

When it comes to Juolevi, This kid has only played 195 games since being drafted, across all leagues. Average of 32 games a year. Between last season and this season he's only played 36 games, mostly in the NHL. Lets give him the playing time he was never going to get in Vancouver or Florida. See what we got. He needs to play if he's going to be anything. How much worse could he be than DK and Leddy? Trade Staal and Leddy and then run this lineup the rest of the season: Dekeyser - Seider Oesterle - Hronek Juolevi - Lindstrom Renouf

The thing we need on D is PK Dmen. To replace Staal and DK. Zadorov surprisingly plays very little PK, but Lindholm fits that mold. Maybe we should be considering Ben Chiarot, Erik Gudbranson, or Ian Cole instead of Lindholm and Zadorov. A deal I'd like to see get done: To DET: Jake Chychrun + 2nd To ARI: Filip Hronek + Filip Zadina Then go out and sign Ilya Lyubushkin in UFA this summer. He was branded a pure shutdown style defender in ARI, but it's clear his puck moving ability has been underrated and is much better with Toronto and away from the anemic ARI offense. This would also be reuniting him with his buddy from ARI Chychrun. Lindholm - Seider Chychrun - Lyubushkin Oesterle - Lindstrom Juolevi/Edvinsson

I doubt they're expecting much from him. I'm sure he's just a warm body to fill out the roster because they're anticipating trading a defenseman or two at the deadline. I'd be surprised if he ever amounts to more than a stop gap until the end of the season.

So he should show Ras the weight room and Zadina how to shoot?

Hopefully we can get Elmer to show Rasmussen around the weight room.

He's just exactly like a bigger Franzen. I've watched a ton of their games this year and that's the player he reminds me of most. He's big, nasty shot, good hands, good skating (for his size). He's not physical in the "Tom Wilson" sense, but he's physical in the "you can't get the puck from me" sense. Just like Franzen was. This kid is going to be awesome. https://themalikreport.com/2021/10/22/roughly-translated-20-questions-with-elmer-soderblom-via-icehockeygifs/ FWIW he benches over 300 lbs. So he's not some tall skinny pud either. He's a beast.
