krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Explain why you like "pushing my buttons"... You wouldn't know but I hailed him as the second coming or something. I simply think he is a good young defenseman that takes way too much flack from Wings fan, much like Ericsson did a few years back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love all my Red Wings. EVEN FRANZEN. Smith's no different. You said it yourself... I like just about everything you say... I think we might have closer opinions on Smith than you think...

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Lol fair enough. Well stop pushing my f***ing buttons! I'm in the same boat with Franzen as well. Do I get frustrated with him? Absolutely. It would be near impossible not to. But he takes WAY too much heat on here. I hope he gets healthy and has another decent run down the stretch and into the playoffs. 2 number9 and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently visited his stats on elite prospects & I'm not 100% on this but my best guess is that his last stats listed are Sweden's junior 20 & under league..? Anyway, 4 games played: 7 goals and 14 points! He's gunna make is right?! Please tell me hampus is going to make it to the show!! haha (I'll settle for the Griffins....

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) It's been a while since there was some Hampus Melen updates, so it's good to see. As far as well thought-out walls of text, I enjoy reading them. I'd post more, but usually many of the points I'd make are already made and I don't like to be too redundant, especially if the first post is well made. I tend to go for the shorter run and gun posts, especially during GDT's, but if someone asks for detail since they can't get a game feed, I try to help since I'm in that situation more than I'd like. As far as the weak attempts at humor, that can't be helped. Regarding the draft picks and our prospects, I defer to those who have the time to look into them and give decent info. I don't like to blindly guess based on size and stats. Mantha was the first pre-draft prospect I was pumped for, mostly due to info provided here by knowledgeable posters. To those who provide that info, thanks again. As far as piling on players, I like to think I call them out when it is deserved, but also give props when deserved. I remember ripping Howard early on, but he became much better. KFQ is another. Jason ******* Williams, on the other hand..... For this draft, I think I'm going to keep trusting what Hakan Andersson suggests from Europe (how awesome has he been as a scout for so long?) and what Kenny picks. In terms of what we've been able to put on the ice relative to our poor drafting position, the Wings have done a great job to maintain the on-ice success.

nawein 324 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Anyone know anything about Filip Chlapik? Decent size and stats, from what I've read he's still adjusting to the NA game. Should be available late first round, we could trade back with Buffalo and grab him there. I just don't know anything about the kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 The more highlight videos I watch of Svechnikov, the more I hope the Wings can draft him. Highly skilled and currently ranked 21st overall in mid-term central scouting rankings. He'll probably be gone by the time we draft but it would be nice to have a winger of his caliber in the system.

Richdg 267 Report post Posted May 11, 2015 Here are some guys that are in most mock drafts between 15-22. The group that we should have to pick from at 18/19. Svechmikov 6-2/185 LH LW. Room to grow, good hands and feet. Bittner 6-4/195 LH LW. Tall and lanky atm, but should be a classic power forward. Meier 6-0/195 LH LW/RW. Physical offensive player, needs to work on his D. Roy 6-0/185 RH D. Undersized offensive Dman. Needs work in his own end. Ek Eriksson 6-2/180 LH C. Great effort 2 way player. Average skills atm. Effort carries him. Chabot 6-2/180 LH D. Good sized offensive Dman. Needs work on D. Meloche 6-2/200 RH D. Big and mobile. Good both ends. Greenway 6-5/225 LH LW. big and physical with good skills. Only getting better. Derguckov 6-4/200 LH C. Typical big Russian C. Good skills and good in both ends of the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted May 11, 2015 http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=213821 A smooth skating defenceman who can put up points, utilizing his strength behind his shot, and plays with an edge. Has very good awareness on the ice, and notices possible scoring chances before they happen. Very intelligent defensively and makes high percentage decisions in his own end. When at the top of his game, Nicolas Meloche can be a game-changing, physical two-way defenceman. (Curtis Joe, EP 2014) Meloche sounds intriguing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted May 11, 2015 http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=213821 Meloche sounds intriguing... He would be the D I would take. While we have lots of D prospects, only 3 are RHed and one of those Marchenko should be in Detroit next season. As Zidlicky reminded everyone, having RHed Dmen on the point does matter. 1 Wings_Toledo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
