Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 2013 draft is over. 8 picks. 6 were forwards, 2 dmen. all but 1 pick are 6-1 or taller. Most of these guys will grow over the next 2-3 years. the only pick that bothers me was bertuzzi. not that we took him, when we took him. But over all a good draft. Most are 3-5 years away. Mantha could be ready in 2 years. If little Tuzzi is what it seems he is, then he would make a very nice s*** disturbing linemate for Helm and possibly Callahan in a few years. I'm mildly intrigued. Hampus Melen to you sir! His name sounds like a greeting of sorts, and I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm mildly intrigued. Hampus Melen to you sir! His name sounds like a greeting of sorts, and I like it. He has already had 1 concussion. Missed part of this year with it. Again, there were better options at the time. But that is water under the bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) LOL. Holland anticipating the sadness of a useless Todd Bertuzzi retiring, decides to draft a nephew of his, ensuring that his lineage in Detroit continues. I hope Samuelsson and Cleary don't have any relatives in this draft or others. Edited July 1, 2013 by GMRwings1983 1 Shaman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not nearly enough in my opinion. I think if we throw in Pav, Jimmy, a prime Larionov and Steve Yzerman's legacy it's a doable trade.

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Kind of a meh-ish draft for my liking. Well, that is, for my initial reaction. Perhaps this year's crop is like a new album from one of your favorite artists that just doesn't move you right away but grows on you after a couple more thorough listenings, which isn't really a word, but you all know what I mean hopefully.

"Grower." As in, "It takes awhile to really get into it. It grows on you. It's a grower." I think we did alright. Time will tell, of course.

dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I really like the Nastasiuk pick. I don't know what his offensive potential is (looks to be 2nd/3rd line tweener) but if he improves his skating then I can't see why he won't be a regular in the future at least on the bottom 6. Dude just battles hard for the puck and comes away with it often. He just looks like a guy that gives it his all every shift.
