newfy 695 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 The cup winner picks last. So I guess that Wilson kid maybe? I know youre kind of joking but seriously that WIlson kid is who they should be looking at at this point. He plays in Plymouth so they'll see him plenty. 6'4, meanstreak, fights, hits and puts up points. Hes a very simiolar prospect to Tyler biggs last year who the wings wanted. Hes the type of guy the wings have been taking a lot with their early picks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 7, 2012 Wilson seems like a good pick to me. If only we could sneak into the top 5, Matthew Dumba may be a bit undersized but the kid hits like a tank and wears his heart on his sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, we should definitely draft a fighter in the first round as there are not a lot of those kinda players available in the market. I could find one but it would take a while and I'm not really too concerned about it, most people will remember it I think. Basically said Nill had seen Biggs play lots and that they liked him. Also isnt the argument around here usually that its impossible to find a person who can play a regular shift and fight? The wings tend to draft North Americans with size and grit with their first picks lately, I'm sure Tom Wilson will be on the radar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 The Wings need a player that can fight and put up 15+ points a year. Of course. I just think it's stupid to use our first round draft pick to get that kinda player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 Of course. I just think it's stupid to use our first round draft pick to get that kinda player. There is a high value on that type of player in the draft since 15+ points/year in the NHL is usually 30+ points/year in the CHL. The Wings may have gotten lucky with Callahan, but these players are difficult to find. This is further exaggerated because most of the CHL fighters aren't great players (like the NHL, most fighters are not top-6 players). I would be happy if the Wings used one first round pick for this in the coming 5 drafts. That is, one Prust type per 10 years is enough. The Wings don't need to do this constantly, but choosing this type of player once every 5-10 years would keep a good stock of this type of player. This is assuming this type of player is available. The Wings should not waste a pick if that type of player isn't available, but they should capitalize on the opportunity if that type of player is available.
