    And THANKS for jinxing our fun, Kip. You just HAD to be right with your development mumbo jumbo stuff. Jerk

    I disagree with your evaluation, but I do respect your opinion.

    If this guy puts in his time in the weight room, he will be the best defender in the NHL. He's HUGE. But he needs to be huge in an Arnold Schwarznegger way and not a Manute Bol way. If his legs go from twigs to tree trunks, its going to be super fun watching him manhandle players.

    Its not like we were going to contend for the cup with Ed, Kasper, Wallinder, and Johansson in the roster this year, but I feel like we do A LOT better with them than with Haag, Osterle, Luff, Czarnik, Erne, etc. I just dont get the point of not playing your BEST players. A team/coach should play its best players. And Kasper and Edvinsson are top 23 guys in the organization and have been since their draft days.

    No. Edvinsson has been 6'6" and a good skater for 2 years now. His AHL time was a waste. Same with Kasper. Some guys need the development time. Some dont.

    At this point, I just want to see OUR DRAFT PICKS play. Not guys Yzerman had a hard on for 12 years ago when he was in Tampa.

    Edvinsson's ceiling is going to depend entirely on Yzerman and whether or not Stevie pulls his head out of his ass and cleans up the non existant OFF ICE / OFF SEASON gains the team cant seem to make. If all these Euros go "home" during the off season and play pickleball and PS5 with their little brothers, they wont get any better. If Yzerman can develop a culture of these guys all making Detroit their home and they all train together over the summer, sky is the limit. Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond had mediocre seasons this year because they both jerked off last summer. The NHL is a full time job. Yzerman needs to set that tone.

    Provorov now this?

    Absolutely. We need to start exposing the younger children and toddlers to this a lot sooner. Acceptance is key.

    Would like to get a look at Wallinder as well. Haag is awful.

    Im excited about Marco too. You know where I stand on vet vs prospect playing time. Kasper, Edvinssson, Wallinder, Mazur would all have been playing the entire year over Erne, Haag, Osterle, and Luft.

    Dude, I watched Eddog close tonight. Im impressed. He's not Seider, but he has a MASSIVE reach. He's super awkward right now (elephant on roller skates), but his coverage area with his reach is enormous. He will be a ROCK for this team. Shut down and transition specialist. We just nned to give him 3 years to go from gawky 20 year old to young man 23 year old. But make no mistake - Edvinsson is the ticket after Seider. Not Raymond. Not Kasper. It's Simon Edvinsson.

    I defended him for 3 years. He does NOT have it. He's not tenacious. He doesnt birddog the puck like Raymond does. He's trying to learn positional defense, but it doesnt matter. He just doesnt win battles and pressure the other team into turning the puck over. Larkin and Raymond do. Veleno, Berggren, and Rassmussen do to an extent. Hopefully Kasper will. But Zadina is just there. Completely ineffective.

    If we dont move these guys onto the Red Wings next year, then we are stupid.
