That contract is so long...I donno.

As far as coaching goes, look at Hitchcock. I don't even see anything about him even playing high school hockey. Great coach. Maybe someday...

Send all current and former SwedeWings at him immediately.

I put yes because I'd love to see all the Hawks "fans" here in MN flip out.

Well that's just like...your opinion, man.

Getting the puck slapped off his stick by Thornton at center ice. What a beautiful game by the Sharks. Completely dominated. Pavelski's mohawk has magical powers!

Yeah one of those guys would be nice! But just pointing out if Mittelstadt is going worth a top 10 pick you think he would have put up some more gaudy numbers in high school. I guess players can develop differently.

Yep. Here's his teammate who also stood out to me as a really good defenseman, which I think I brought up earlier in this thread, will be playing for Sandelin's dad at UMD: http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=201527

I think I read somewhere he's projected to go in the 3rd round.

Yeah I haven't seen any of his USHL games. He really wasn't being double or triple teamed. Defenders by themselves just seemed to easily knock him off the puck or he just couldn't finish when he got his chances. Ryan Sandelin from Hermantown looked more like a top ten pick type of player. He took control of games when they needed him the most and you noticed when he was out there. Top NHL prospects usually dominate MN high school, like how TJ Oshie (100 pts in 31 games) and Blake Wheeler (100pts - hat trick in the championship) did.

I like those a lot better actually!

Maybe it's the Packer fan in me, but my god these things are hideous. Worst color scheme ever.

Why not? Look at the skill on that team. The team he's assembled for less money than the Wings and double the talent. I'll take both any day.

Including playoffs and the tournament, 5 games.

Just going off what I've seen of Mittelstadt, not if we get in the top 10. He didn't dominate his peers in the high school tournament. Although I haven't seen any of the other players people are talking about.

I'd love to see Callahan, Bert, Russo and Svech all be full time Wings next year.

Russia would never agree with that or find some way to circumvent it just so they could win.

Doughty is a spot picker. Tkachuk doesn't have to worry about having to fight him unless he shrinks 5 inches.

Yeah I don't see his diving impacting that at all. Whatever the minimum amount of time it is, that's when. Hell, Pronger isn't even officially retired and he's in already, might as well just put him in now.

My god...that last one is absolutely pathetic.

I always lived far away from Detroit except a few years ago I unfortunately had to move to Ohio for 7 months for work. Took that opportunity to make it to one game in Detroit while I was there, and our tool rep on site got us free tickets. My experience was amazing, had chills the whole time and it's something I'll never forget (especially those nasty outdated bathrooms!).

Really wish someone would punch his face in. Between this, the O'Reilly nut shot, and the two meetings he had with Mantha this year, he has show he really hasn't "grown up".

Especially when it came to him and Miller. Sucked to see him leave.

^^ Does this guy know how to party or what?

$30 lol wow. That'd be nice.
