Pskov Wings Fan 71 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Not sure. All I know is the Finns made the Russians look weak in the eyes of the Germans (while it was largely due to the Russians stupidly doing the "great purge" of their highest officers and killing their own morale and fighting capacity in the process) and thus inadvertently caused Operation Barbarossa to go through, thus insuring Germany's defeat in WWII. If the Finns weren't so badass against the Russians, Germany probably wouldn't have seen Russia as vulnerable and England would've been thoroughly raped by a Russian invasion force. Interesting. I've never heard this historical theory before. Take out invasion of England by Russia and it would be plausible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pskov Wings Fan 71 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Another Swede gone... There are still some available. Tim Erixon Marcus Johansson Carl Klingberg But I liked Josefson. He was ranked rather high so it was a long shot for Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probie 7 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Im checking out whos left and following this draft ranking: http://www.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?fid=11892 Its handy because it lists all the other rankings from the different organizations, plus player info. Im wondering who Detroit gets. Orielly & Tatar, are all guys Ive heard the wings have looked at, but do they have them ranked high enough to take with their first pick. Im guessing no.. Despres and Ashton are stil available after the canucks picked shroeder... Edited June 27, 2009 by Probie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope the Wings pick someone with size and strength. Sorry if we broke up all of the non-posting in the thread at the time. In other news I hope we land Tartar AND Rajala so we can have the market cornered in small superskilled kids that should grow bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Damn... I was praying Jordan Schroeder slipped down to Det's pick. No surprise he didn't though, I can't believe he made it all the way to 22. Absolute steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Trade down and pick 2-3 times in the 2nd round, grab Tatar and Rajala and then we can grab the next Konstantinov with the 5th rd pick. This. Or trade off some of the baggage from our team for some 2nds and grab Tatar and Rajala. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
