Yah, its pathetic.

The smaller rink. His game is skating around people in a keep away style. Gotta skate THROUGH people in the NHL. He wont be able to adapt to that.

Center: Larkin is a great 2C and and an ok 1C. Veleno is a great 3C and an ok 2C. Rasmussen is a great 4C and an ok 3C. They can all be impact players if they dont need to play in a position above their skillset. Must get Bedard. Right Wing: Raymond - 1st Line. Great player. Sundqvist - Gonna bust. We are missing (3) RIGHT HANDED players for lines 2, 3, and 4. Niederbach is a season away from filling our 3rd line spot. Forsberg would fill the 2nd line spot. The 4th line is 6 minutes a night, so less to worry about. Left Wing: Vrana - Top 6. Great player. Bertuzzi - Top 6. Great player. Zadina - Top 9. Work in progress. Berggren - Top 9. Work in progress. Fabbri - Top 9. Glass, so high bust potential. Smith - Gonna bust. Soderblom - Gonna bust. Mazur - Gonna bust. Mastrosimone - Gonna bust. This is our strongest position currently. RHD: Seider - 1st Pairing. Great Player. Hronek - 2nd Pairing. Will shine with Edvinsson. Lindstrom - Career 3rd pairing guy. Tuomisto - Gonna bust. Could use one or 2 legit prospects in the the RHD pool. If Seider has a Juri Fischer situation happen, the Wings are SCREWED. LHD: Wallinder - 1st pairing. Going pass up Edvinsson as the Wings' best LHD. Edvinsson - 2nd pairing. Great Player. McIsaac - Career 3rd pairing guy. Sebrango - Career fills in for injured Swedes guy. Walman - Gonna bust. Juolevi - Gonna bust. Johansson - Gonna bust. Viro - Gonna bust. Buium - Gonna bust. This is position of strength for the team. Very high ceiling for 3 pairings. Goalie: Ned - Great Player. Cossa - Great Player. Prospects - meh. This is a position of strength. Once the defense matures, the goalies are going to have a reasonable chanve of keeping pucks out of our net. The top 2 guys have mad skills.

Even worse. He lost his pup. sad face

Elon Musk has Coronavirus!

might as well have Wallinder in at this point. Missing out on Lindholm hurt.

develop Smith

Im sure the ones that have them do.

I want them all to play over all the other LHD we currently have

Im actually geeked about Edvinsson/Johansson/Wallinder. Bring them all over and put em all in.

sweet. The softness of our team grows strong.

we cant get him anymore

We can gdt into 7th now with an Ottawa win. Thats as far as we are gonna go.

Edvinsson's brother

I had no idea what was going on that draft.

filling nets?

The Wings are 0-4 without Zadina in the lineup this year.

Zadina is your boy, blue!

Fabbri's career might be over. Dude is GLASS.

we got beat 5-2. great plan

Fully agree. Seider = 10/10 Hronek = 6/10 Lindstrom = 5/10 Juolevi = 5/10 Walman = 5/10 Staal = 4/10 Osterle = 4/10 Leddy/Dekeyse = Dust. Unless Im totally wrong and all of McIsaac, Sebrango, Edvinsson, Johansson, and Wallinder are going to come in next year and light the world on fire, we have a s***ty defense overall still. What Im expecting is Edvinsson to come in and look good with Hronek and really good with Seider. Im only expecting Hronek or Lindstrom to make minimal progress. And thats ok. We dont need 6 all star defenseman. We do need 2 LHD that rate 8/10+, tho. Hopefully, we just need to release our prospects into the wild.

Youre absolutely right. This is why Lindholm was important. Nabbing him filled the 1LHD and allowed Edvinsson to actually fill a manageable role (2LHD). Not saying another guy wont be available in upcoming trade deadlines or UFA periods, but Lindholm was a great fit for our rebuild. Spilled milk now tho.

If it was to Carley spank bank material, that would help his case.

That may be. But the FACT remains that we only have 4-7 forwards in the organization tjat suck less. So are we just whipping for something to do. Cuz I can get behind it if we are just practice whipping and using Zadina as the whipee.

The reality, which I've said before, is that Zadina is a top 12 forward in our organization right now. And if you want him to not be, you need to acquire better players. The difference between you and me is that I recognize that overpaying Forsberg type players in UFA and getting lucky in the draft are the only ways we are going to do that. You think Yzerman is going to steal some good young prospects from other teams. I know he is not. Larkin Raymond Vrana Bertuzzi Veleno Rasmussen Berggren Those are 7 guys ahead of Zadina on the depth chart and in importance, if Im being optomistic and generous with the last 3. Until there are 5-7 more guys that are clearly better now and clearly have brighter futures with the team, what's the point of s***ting on Zadina one breath and then saying we shouldnt spend money on Forsberg in the next? That's foolish.
