    Red Wings Expansion Draft Protected List

    and no he said he wouldn't give away assets to protect additional players.. a little bit of a grey area I know. But hopefully he made a deal for them to take someone specific. Or maybe they won't want mrazeks 4 million cap hit if they already plan on having fleury and there were no trade partners for mrazek. I think he'll be fine

    Looking ahead at expansion draft

    He said he wouldn't make a deal to protect additional players.. not that he wouldn't make a deal for Vegas to pick a specific player. Hopefully that's the case.

    Targets for the Wings

    Would like Vanek back but not for long term of course. I think he'll get more than a year but would hesitant to give him more than 2/could MAYBE live with 3 if it lowers the cap hit, but I'm not so sure that's a good idea. He was exciting to watch and generated some offense and for that I'd like him back; just not for too long as we've got young offensive guys that will keep improving. I think smith is staying on the Rangers. From what I've read, they seem to like him there and they just got rid of Girardi.. I think shattenkirk will price himself out of their range and they'll sign smith instead.

    Looking ahead at expansion draft

    I don't know if mad is the right word.. a little bummed out maybe but that's going to happen to a lot of teams/fans. I think our prospects we've got further down the pipeline will be better than xo, Jensen, and Sproul anyway.

    Looking ahead at expansion draft

    What's the record for picks in one draft? I wonder if Vegas breaks it It also seems very possible that they're quick to success compared to other expansion teams if they do it right.

    That's excellent news! I'm no longer short!

    Who has been the Red Wings MVP in the last 25 years?

    Agreed. I'm very excited for our young guys. I'm hoping AA and whoever we draft develop into high scoring guys as well.

    2017 Draft

    From the article: Pretty much exactly what I like in a d-man.. "needs work on his defense" isn't great but that's what you get with middle round offensive d-men.. I'm a little biased toward his style but I'm sold. The "quotables" section at the bottom makes him sound like the exact kind of defensive prospect teams are always looking for too. Hopefully he reaches his potential and thensome.

    2017 Draft

    Yeah we talked about both of these kids around when their high school playoff was going on. Would be pretty happy with a later round pick used on Sandelin as well, based on what you said about him.

    2017 Draft

    Here's a write up on him as well: http://thehockeywriters.com/josh-brook-2017-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/ seems like a solid enough middle round pick. If we got those two guys in the third plus another d-man somewhere in the first three rounds/one of the four mentioned above in the first (assuming no one projected top 5 drops), I'd be pretty satisfied with the draft overall.

    2017 Draft

    I remember his name being brought up as a bit of a sleeper third round pick.. here's a pretty good write up on Dylan Samberg. Definitely seems like the kind of guy we should try to draft. http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/sleeper-picks-scouts-say-samberg-is-only-scratching-the-surface-of-his-potential

    2017 Draft

    I think it's Liljegren, Makar, Glass, Tippett for me too (that's in no particular order.. would be equally happy with any of them.) assuming no one falls unexpectedly.

    Drouin for Sergachyov

    You have this opposite. Tampa will receive a second for a sixth on the condition that Sergachyov doesn't play at least 40 games this year for Tampa. In which case, I'd say they definitely win the trade long term. But I agree it'll probably end up as more of a wash than anything. Edit: Just realize I guess you could've meant it that way and I just read it as in Tampa would keep their second round pick.. my bad either way, good trade for both sides imo.

    Mattias Elfstrom

    That's it?! We want players who are at least 7' and 280. Sick of all these soft 6'3" runts.. way to go Holland.

    You don't have to worry about mrazek going unprotected. We'd trade him before letting that happen.

    Drouin for Sergachyov

    Wow good trade for both sides. This will also help tampa sign all their free agents too. This may start to open the flood gates a little bit. Could see Galchenyuk going to the wild now for one of their d-men or something.

    Targets for the Wings

    Would love Galchenyuk.. I think he's one of the most underrated players on the habs. Plus he's young and could play center. But I think it'd cost too much in assets that could be used toward a defenseman.. which probably also won't happen.
