The more I hear about Kaapo Kakko the more I as well hope we land the 2nd overall pick. If we get lucky with the 1st overall, I am good with Hughes obviously, but I would be fairly happy with Kakko as well. I honestly don't know which is better. Outside of them two if we don't land the 1st or 2nd pick, I like what I hear about Podkolzin. I don't know if it was in this thread, but I know someone around here said they think the Wings should start drafting at least 1 goalie every year. I hope they do as well, I don't really care who. Just start stock stockpiling and hope for one to turn out. Spend a 3rd or 4th rounder on the best goalie available for the next 3 seasons and pry I say. I will go out on a limb and say I actually really like our goalie depth, they're all just really young. Most of them are doing really well in their respective farms and one is bound to play out.

I think one of Larsson, Eliasson or Petruzzelli will develop into our number one goalie of the future. I suppose it would still be okay using a later round pick on a goaltender, but it wouldn't be a priority for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed , think we should stay away from drafting a goalie unless someone’s around in rounds 5-7 that we like and think might have potential, I’d also include van pottelberghe with the 3 goalies mentioned, still only 21 and has upside so I’d be disappointed if we let him go although I do have really high hopes for the 2 Swedes Im really hoping the wings draft fagemo with the second rounder , man he looks good and a right shot , just have a bad feeling he might get picked earlier than expected so I’d just jump on him asap , hopefully islanders and sharks get outed first rounds so we draft 45-50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we're using one of our 2nd rounders on an overager, I'm hoping it's Brett Leason. Justin Bergeron would be another interesting option as an overager to take with a mid-round pick.

LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted March 27, 2019 I am all for being positive, but I have to say that these wins are slapping fans in the face who have accepted the last 3 season of s*** with the hope of that #1 pick. They are doing anything by winning now other than hurting the fans who put up with the loss after loss after loss. I am hoping for a #1 (#2 at least) as a reward for this season, and the last few. If they "climb" to #6 or #7 and end up picking 10th, then this whole season was for nothing. I am not ok with watching another season of this garbage in hopes (again) for a 1st overall. If they don't get a top 2 this June, they damn well better be a playoff team next season. I am tired of mediocrity, tired of watching garbage hoping for a franchise player. Time is up. Stop the winning this season, it's not needed, it isn't fun, it's not encouraging, it's giving the fans a huge middle finger. The majority don't want to see useless wins, they want the best chance at #1. Period. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our team is s***, our lines are a shuffled mess of 3rd and 4th liners for the most part, we traded away one of our few good players and are giving AHLers spots in the lineup. I too want them to lose and get the best odds at a pick, but fortunately for us and the future of our team our young guys still want to win and some of them have the ability to do it sometimes, especially if the other team doesn't really show up to play. To be angry about it as if management/players are somehow spitting in the face of fans is completely nonsensical. 2 amato and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree with this entirely. You always try to win and do your best. With your logic the team might as well skate down into their own end and put the puck in their own net.

I see leason being gone in the first , he could be an Intriguing pick Been seeing good things about fagemo , he’s done better than bokk who got drafted last year , pretty solid rookie season in the shl and just literally turned 19 so I’m not too worried about the overager stuff , time will tell but I think he’s got some good upside Edited March 27, 2019 by nyqvististhefuture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xault 272 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 It is good to hear people are fairly happy with our current prospect pool of goalies. I honestly wasn't sure how well off it was. My knowledge of such things isn't the best outside of the few name drops like Demko, Samsonov and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
