RedWingedKitten 9 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 We do better drafting later anyway. Franzen was a third rounder iirc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 The Wings will never be able to draft any good players later than the 1st round. This is a proven fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManLove4Homer 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 There was some good talent left at 29, ala Carter or Despres. Here's to drafting Klingberg or Rajala at 32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a proven fact. didn't they get mccollum last year in the 1st round? i hope they pick ferraro's kid at 32...or make a trade with buffalo. give them the 32 pick and the rights to hudler for kassian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snazzy 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Toni Rajala? f*** no! We don't need a 5'8" 160ib forward. I know he has offensive talent but he's not defensively sound and he'll get murdered in the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 145 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 There was some good talent left at 29, ala Carter or Despres. Here's to drafting Klingberg or Rajala at 32. Of that pair, Klingberg. Rajala is smaller than Hudler, even. Klingberg is projected as the next Mule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he has offensive talent but he's not defensively sound and he'll get murdered in the NHL. I hear Red Wings draft picks always play in the NHL immediately after getting drafted. Oh wait, no they don't. We're not the NY ******* Islanders. You guys are hilarious. Didn't you realize what Detroit ALWAYS does? We trade to get prospects. It's a percentage move; we plant more seeds so our odds of getting ripe fruit is that much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're missing the point. Rajala is small. Detroit has enough smallish to medium-size forwards in the pipeline that one more will do no good. A bigger guy like Klingberg stands out.

BlakKy 58 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Little Patty Kane was great his first year in the league. Honestly... if the Wings want sand paper there is free agency. The draft should be a chance to nab a star and if it doesn't work out we have minor laguers. Ashton could turn out to be a Wade Belak for all we know (just smaller). Heres to Rajala!

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 There was some good talent left at 29, ala Carter or Despres. Here's to drafting Klingberg or Rajala at 32. Which tells me that those kids fell for a reason. The Wings wouldn't deviate from their planed player unless a better player unexpectedly fell down (ala Jiri Fischer). When Carter and Despres fell into the Wings laps and they brushed them off, what does that tell you about those two? Apparently the Wings plan to stick with the plan because they feel confident the kids they have in their sights are better than those two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
under_par_00 45 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Smart move by the Wings. It obviously shows that they know who they want, and know that he will still be available at 32. And now we get a later round pick from Tampa. Its not like these late round picks ever turn into anything though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Secret 304 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 BOOOOOOOOOOO! Why would we trade our 1st rounder. Ashton Carter is 6' 3" 205 lbs good ol'e Canadian boy that looks like a perfect fit. Why? I don't get it? Makes me sad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 The Wings must be confident that the player they want is gonna be availible a couple picks later. If thats so and you get a chance to pickup an extra 3rd rounder to drop those spots its a perfect move. Especially with how on the mark the Wings have been in the later rounds.
