  1. Mantha has been exactly as advertised on his draft day
  2. But imagine if Larkin had wingers that can score. He’s getting it done playing primarily with wingers that have a combined 9 points. Now that the second line is producing it would be cool to see AA with Larkin
  3. They really think passes can just go through opposing players like it’s on rookie mode. And the other player just waits for the pass right behind a defender. It probably works in practice all the time

    Mantha is Lazy and He Sucks

    This board talks about other posters more than hockey. This is what happens when people live vicariously through their favorite players they become way too emotional and can’t discuss things with logic. Mantha was a train wreck to start the season and has been better in the last two games but has had some bad luck. He’ll come around. It’s also completely reasonable to think 25 goal seasons may be his peak. Other than juniors, his resume suggests nothing special.
  5. I think just by the ole’ eye ball test that Villi has better offensive upside while both will be pretty bad defensively at the NHL level. I think Sarijaarvi gets overlooked because of his height. I think he’s the more dynamic dman
  6. I think Sarijaarvi will be better than Hronek
  7. At this point it’s worth a shot seeing if Bylsma could muster a little more out of this roster. Blashill may still become a good coach but something must be done because we’re seeing assets become worthless

    2018 Prospect Tournament and Training Camp

    I know what you mean I just get a little heated when I hear Rasmussen get slighted after he puts up 3 points. I just think people don’t appreciate him because he doesn’t have an exciting style of play. I think Cholo and Ras both took major steps in their development this offseason. Something scouts may have overlooked is their work ethic. Cholo has grown substantially in the last two years and Ras’s skating has improved a lot

    2018 Prospect Tournament and Training Camp

    Prospects drafted that are considered ‘steals’ by the media = loved Prospects chosen that are considered going ‘off the board’ = hated see Veleno love and Ras hate

    Ras was still taking key face offs. In my opinion he’s the most mature forward. He’s versatile, really good hockey sense for a 19 year old, safe in both ends and he puts up numbers. That’s why Blashill will love him and he’ll get lots of minutes

    People should be high on Rasmussen because he’s going to finish the tournament as the Wings best player. Him and Cholo are very underrated prospects around the league. I think that’s why fans try not to be overly optimistic about their potential. It takes a few years before people forget about their draft day coverage of the prospect

    2018 Off-Season Trades / Signings / News

    Why? If all he wants to do is win then true contenders won’t have 10-12M in cap to sign him. Red Wings can actually pay him

    I think Rasmussen will look like Sheahan at center but score more. I think he looked fine last night tho

    Wings controlling the play. McIsaac looks good Zadina is the real deal. Looks like datsyuk our there amongst the prospects

    2018 Prospect Tournament and Training Camp

    Zadina really does stand out. Makes plays quickly

    Has Blashill finally lost the team?

    I agree. He’s done well with USA hockey and getting recognized around the league despite having one of the worst NHL rosters. Obviously their hasn’t been a lot of team success to compare but young players like Larkin and Mantha kind of took over the team pretty seamlessly, which is pretty impressive. At the end of year 2 we weren’t sure if this team had any first line talent in the system at all. How big a difference a year can make

    It would be cool if the team was a contender in 3 years and he came back

    I’m not worried about goaltending. The team has a lot of goalie prospects that one is bound to emerge as a starter when Bernier and Howard are done

    Another draft like this last one and the team is ready to push for the playoffs. The prospects are good as is but the Wings would still need a bit of luck developing for me to feel this team will really compete in the future
