What a difference a couple of practice games makes…

Edvinsson is going to be sooooo good. He’s dominating tonight 

I’ll always have blind faith that Yzerman is smarter than me when building a team. Theirs no other person I would rather have as GM

This narrative of yours makes no sense. Yzerman literally completely overhauled the team's strength and conditioning department when he came in as GM because it was so out of date from the Holland era. 
Great conditioning is not gonna turn a roster into a squad of fighting goons. 
Also, every team deals with countless injuries every season. It's not exclusive to Detroit. 
Look at the chart since 2009 (with a bunch of Holland-era seasons included) vs. the chart from last season up until March 10th. Detroit is middle of the pack. There are no strength and conditioning issues. 
 

Plus all these short mid tier deals are ripe for a trade package for the next disgruntled star. This is what the NBA does and why these average roster players with middle tier salary are actually worth a lot when trading in a cap crunched league

Theirs no predicting these lines. Lalonde has so many options to show some nice coaching chops. If you suck you sit because theirs a full lineup of legit NHLers now

Take their playoff spot and their pick 

Take their playoff spot and their pick 

Larkin + Raymond 
for
Stutzle + Debrincat

His game will take him to the NHL quicker than most centres in this draft
 

Fun fact about Danielson - Bedard stated that he was the hardest opponent hes ever had to pplay against. Lets go.

Theirs no rush man. We sign him for nothing next offseason as a true 40 goal guy or as a 20-30 guy

I sort of expected Veleno to dominate the Q a bit more than he has. He's currently 18th in scoring at 1.35 ppg. 
And you're right. They are the same age. Zadina is 2nd on the Griffins in goals scored. Playing as an 18 year old, against men in a league that's hard to score in on a team that has trouble generating offense most nights. With electrifying centers such as Holmstrom, Ehn, Turgeon, and Camper. Veleno's playing against little french boys who can barely do Movember. So, I don't know why anyone can currently be disappointed in Zadina and so high in Veleno in the same breath. But whatevs. I'm sure they'll both be more than fine. 
On another note: McIssac's a ppg player right now in Halifax. 15th in defensive scoring despite missing a considerable amount of games. Kid's a gem. 
 
 

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.

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

No Facebook but I was able to watch through them through some clever googling

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

Zadina really does stand out. Makes plays quickly

Cholowski looks pretty good

Cholowski looks pretty good

Zadina one timer on the PP
